facts about baker hill by seneca baker besides working in the forests the pioneer men in the district worked at agriculture while their wives made the clothing manufactured soap and raised large families the first method of sowing grain was by hand and was known as broadcasting later seed drills were used the hand sickle was used first for cutting grain next came the cradle then a machine was introduced to cut the grain and lay it on a table a second man stood on the iback of the table and raked the grain off in bun- church hill the red cross held a quilting last tuesday at mrs mclaughlins and completed two quilts they wish to acknowledge the gift of material for three tops from mrs e paisley one top mrs eldon smith two quilt batts from miss marjorie clark a lin ing from mrs o martin our mall courier got through here on friday first delivery in a week since the plow got through that day too we are hoping for better roads from now on miria but do you think tis quite fair to go to the movies with henry if you dont like him beryl why not he enjoys my company and i like the movies dies after which it was bound by hand then a machine was added to take the place of the man who had to rake off the grain still later an in vention came into use to bind the grain with wire but this was not satisfactory as wire often got in the feed it was then that binder twine was first used the first threshing machines were run by horse power steam engines weie used prior to the introduction of the gasoline engine now the com bine is proving satisfactory for some crops the first plows were very primitive heing made largely of wood many years ago steel was first used for the whole implement it is rather a curious fact that with all the labor saving devices used in todays farming the farmer usually has no more leisure than his ances tors had at the time of william lyon mac kenzie his party was known as the reform party his followers were so firm in their convictions that the opposing party dubbed them grits later the name was changed to liberal practically all the people around baker hill were liberals both parties were very violent in their convictions if a bee of any kind was held there was almost sure to be a tight or quarrel almost all the people were born and educated in this country the occasional colonist from the old world brought to this district a wealth of knowledge and culture which did much to make life more pleasant most of the people however had a very meagre education but if they lacked the veneer of culture and booklearning they possessed in great measure virtues such as hospit ality generosity and honesty most of the pioneers were very devout in their religious profession baker hill was largely baptist in faith while lemonville was largely methodist the spirit of cooperation between denominations was much in evidence the baker hill people would attend the lemonville service and the lemonville folks would wor ship with the baker hill church manuel baker was a ounkard while his wife jbetsy horner was a baptist under wartime conditions these pioneer virtues of hospitality and neighbourliness piety and sincerity may be expected to continue and spread perhaps some day they will become truly international in out look you can lake your at drippings scrap fat and bones to your meat dealer he will pay you the established price

next winter re you one ot the canadian householders who burned fences doors i and even flooring to keep warm in this winters subzero weather or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who just managed to scrape through in either case you will want to be prepared for next winter when greater hardships loom unless you take immediate action the shortage already has affected many communities total stocks of dry wood are nearly exhausted in some places the small supply of green wood cut for next winter is being used now to meet the present emergency throughout most of canada fuelwood is obtained not far from where it is consumed its production and distribution are the business of local citizens the dominion government recognizes hat the woodtuel shortage is so serious that even with the full cooperation of everyone in affected com munities an adequate supply is not assured accordingly it has been decided to stimulate the output of woodfuel by assisting those normally engaged in its production and distribution to this end the following measures will be adopted 1 a subsidy of 100 per cord will be paid to dealers on all commercial fuelwood contracted for and cut on or before june 30 1943 and held to dealers account on that date 2 the coal controller has been authorized to arrange in discretion for the payment of such portion of the transportation costs as he considers properinrespect of fuelwood particul arly in cases where dealers to procurcsupplies find it necessary to contract for fuelwood at locations outside the area trom which they normally derive their supplies in order to obtain any such reimbursement dealers must obtain a permit trom the coal controller before contracting for such supplies 3 the coal controller will repurchase from dealers at dealers cost all commercial grades of fuel- wood on which a subsidy of 1 per cord has been paid and which are still in dealers hands as at may 31 1944 assistance will be given in providing priorities for necessary equipment 5 farmers now on the farm and who leave the farm temporarily in response to this appeal to engage in fuelwood cutting will be deemed by national selective service to be carrying out their regular occupation as farmers and will be given all the rights of deferment of military service which such an occupa tion now carries such temporary absence should not however interfere with agricultural production municipal councils farmers fuel dealers individual citizens service clubs and all other groups in communities where woodfuel is burned are urged to begin at once a rapid survey of their local situation and to take imme diate action to relieve the shortage- the department of munitions and supply honourable c d howe minister
