His most recent work on the subject is a fictionalized account, called Death to the Donnellys. "In a way, I've created a monster,"' he said when pressed to talk about his two most celebrated books. "I suppose I'm a poor mother. Once a book is born, I don't want to have any more to do with 10?

The Fenians too were created by the Irish, and a more mixed-up misbegotten campaign could scarcely be imagined." His remarks didn't go unchallenged. When he remarked that the ad- jective "black"' was first applied to the Donnellys by another Donnelly scribe, Thomas Kelley, a listener replied that he'd heard the term used many years' before Kelley's book (Vengeance of the Black Donnellys) was published. Remarks about Southern Ontario Orange- ism prompted Mary Haskill, a local historian, to note thal here in Midland, Roman Catholics worshipped in the Orange Hall until their own church was built. After constant prodding from his audience, Miller finally gave a dry resume of the Donnelly story in which the Donnelly family was exterminated by a posse of vigilantes. "Nobody paid any penalty," he said. "And that miscarriage of justice is a blot on Canadian history. The Donnellys were not as black as they have been painted. With my books I've been able to reverse the verdict of folklore." Al the conclusion of the evening, Miller read briefly from a book he has written chronicling the London, history -- of Ontario Funeral held Saturday Funeral services were held on Saturday, May 29 for the late Howard Watson Leonard (Tim), of R.R. 2, Midland, who passed away at St. Andrew's Hospital, Midland on Wednesday, May 26, 1976 Beloved husband of the late Ada King, he was in his 69th year.

This "'learning facilitator" would be administratively atta- ched to the Georgian Bay Regional Library System. Other proposals made by the task force to reinforce the work of the learning consultant in- clude the introduction of a rural learning mobile which would take in- formation on learning opportunities to fall fairs, community centres and other high-traffic spots, and the development of a learning resources in- ventory which would be easily available to residents of the area.

Several of the choir members also took part in the show. Cindy Therrien and Michelle Gouett gave their impression of "'I Enjoy Being a Girl". It was a very cute comedy and everyone loyed it. Alt the end of the program Brodeur was presented with gifts of TV tray tables, yellow place mats and a yellow china rose with a green candle in it. The gifts were from all her students.
