Dreaming the im- possible dream, and then seeing its ac- complishment in a book "they"' said could not be done was the theme of Mrs. Rhea Green's talk on the book "Loyal She Remains". Mrs. Green of Stayner was speaking at the September meeting of the Simcoe County . Historical Association. A member of the United Empire' Loyalists' Association of Ontario, which published the book, she traces her ancestry to the Six Nation Indians who, in loyalty to Britain, left the U.S. to settle in Canada on the reserve at Brantford. Her marriage to Kelly Green (Irish) was 'Loyal She Remains' celebrated in the historic chapel on that reserve. The book is the realization of a dream of Charles Humber, president of the U.E.L. Association. Though told that what he had in mind "could not be done", he proceeded to work toward its ac- complishment - the book on Ontario in Four seasons on slides at next SCACA meeting A general meeting of the Simcoe County Arts and Crafts Association will be held in the Green Room of the Orillia Opera House on Oct. 22 at 7:30 ppm.

Simcoe County Arts and Crafts Association members' recently presented another highly successful Gift Fair in the Simcoe celebration of the Bicentennial.

Piers Anthony is a long-time writer of fantasy and science fiction with a new series Incarnations of Immortality. If the first in this series, On A Pale Horse, is an indication, Anthony has complete control over the line between fantasy and reality, creating believable characters in believable, yet fantastic, situations. To start off the series, the setting is a marvelous shop in which magic stones are sold. Zane thinks about buying a lovestone (which zeroes in on the best romance for you), a wealthstone (which finds money), or a deathstone (which foretells that Zane will die within the hour). All this leads to the kick-off point in the novel when Zane pulls a pistol on Death and kills him. From this moment, Zane assumes the office of Death, and is in charge of souls which need some help in deciding their destination. Zane, as Death, has a personal touch. He saves some from dying, and helps others, such as a terminally-ill woman, die more quickly. The-nightly reports on Purgatory television are full of the antics of bad- boy Death. Death wrestles with the force of Satan, as the novel reaches its conclusion, pitting all his intelligence against the devious Satan. Throw in a love story, lots of philosophizing on the nature of life and death, and you've got a terrific read (Ballatine, $3.75). Patricia Job book. So Humber went to 103 small business. Each paid $1,000 to have its story included (the last section). And the book was _ published, clear of debt. Sales have set records with 100,000 copies expected to be sold by the end of the year. The popularity of the book is based on a number of factors. Not scholarly, but yet in- formative, it is a history of Ontario all put together very well in- deed - a book for every Ontario home. And it is an heirloom book, one that will not be produced in such a way again. The story of the book, so , enthusiastically related by Mrs. Green, proves that the spirit of courage and enterprise which brought the Loyalists into the wilderness of | Upper Canada is still alive and well in present day Ontario. The next meeting of the Association will reveal another aspect of that pioneer Richard Partridge will spirit. be talking on 'The Farmers' Revolt", when the _ farmers, rebelling against the capitalists, organized co-operatives and political parties, and took over the govern- ments of Ontario, Alberta and Saskat- chewan.
