generations of ancient Britons Next to King Arthur the most illustrious name associated with Winchester is that of Alfred the Great who reigned here from 871 to 899 In 860 the cit had been bur ned by

years ago the province entirely on its own began payin for nursing home and ot er secondary caft was late For example one of the main reasons why we have the controversial hospital cutback program

May 1973 that the news reached Canada that Britain and France were at war The big question was What will the US do The Americans owed France favor for having helped them in the American Revolu tionary War and it seemed logical that they might attack Canada and the Maritimes Lord Dorchester the governor of Canada who as Sir Guy Carleton had defended Quebec against the Americans in 17751776 ordered Colonel John Graves Simcoe lieutenant governor of Upper Canada to build fort near presentday Toledo Ohio to defend Detroit which was then held by the British It was almost miracle that the United States did not attack Canada then but the French made mistake They sent agents to the US to try to pressure the Americans to get into the war but they only succeeded in an noying them The chief French

England states to arm their vessels and attack Maritime ships trading with the West Indias This was blatant violation of US neutrality designed to bring about clashes between British and US warships Genet also sent agents to Canada to urge French speaking Canadians to revolt However Frenchspeaking Canadians had learned what happened during the French Revolution and wanted no part of it The France of 1793 was not the France of their ancestors One of the agents was Donald McLane who tried to organize campaign to cap ture Quebec He was caught convincted of treason and hanged drawn and quartered
