PAGE SIXTEEN THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1951") Huronia Research Shows Record of Courage, Zeal Midland, Ont. (CP)--A record of missionary courage and engineering skill 300 years ago is coming to light under the trowel and whisk of a Canadian archeologist. For the last four years, Wilfrid Ww. Jury, curator of the museum of Indian archeology ai the Ugi- versity of Western Ontario, has probed the ruins of Fort Ste. Marie _once the most isolated outpost in France's North American empire-- tor details on the early history of the new world. Among his discoveries are the sirst canal locks and water piping ystem in North America. Fort Ste. Marie was the fort from vhich Jesuit missionaries carried Christianity to the Indians. Five vere tortured and slain. They be- ~ame Saints of the Roman Catholic church. The record in the earth has been »atiently dug out and sifted by jury. With him works his wife, tabulating, sorting and recording the finds. The quiet, grey-haired archeolo- logist plies his whisk and trowel in what is regarded by Catholics of Canada and the United States as "hallowed ground." On the hill above the valley where he works rise the twin spires of the Martyrs' Shrine, erected in commemoration of the five Jesuit martyrs who lost their lives in the service of their faith. Jury's digging has uncovered the first Christian cemetery in Ontar- io. He exhumed, examined and re- interred the bones of the first Christian Indians buried there. With them he identified the re- mains of Donne Jacobus Douart, the only Frenchman left buried there when the fort was abandon- ed. A concrete plaque now marks Douart's grave, surmounted by a tall cross. Wooden crosses mark the graves of the Indians. It was in this cemetery that the tortured body of Saint Jean de Brebouf was first buried when it was recovered after the Iroquois left the ruins of the nearby friend- ly Indian village of St. Louis. fore Jury began his excavations and wrapped in oiled silks, taken back to Quebec by the Jesuit fathers. ARRIVED IN 1639 The Jesuits came to this area on Georgian Bay 75 miles northwest of Toronto in 1639 on a mission to the® Huron Indians: They built a fortified enclosure, severing about two acres of ground, and named it Fort Ste. Marie, : The menace of hostile Iroquois Indians became so great 10 years later that the remaining mission= aries left the area and Indians burn- ed the fort behind them. Jury's explorations have revealed the outlines of the fort and its buildings. It was:a major fortress at its time, protected by a palisade and moat and on three sides by an in- land lake. The lake now has reced- ed far from its old waterline. The foundations of building after building have been uncovered and examined. Some of them are in what Jury terms a "remarkable state" of preservation. They have given invaluable information on the lives and habits of the priests and soldiers of France who lived there and of Indians served by the hospital. The rotted butts of the palisade | logs have been uncovered, and even the pole logs of Algonquin tepees in the Indian Sa south of the fort. Jury found whole sections of an-| old aqueduct, ax marks still evi- | dent on the sides of the wooden | trough. The system piped water | into the enclosure from springs in the hills. He found that the water was used for other purposes, too. With | its help and a set of canal locks, freight canoes and barges were raised from the level of the lake right into the centre of the fort. | Work is going forward to re-| store the fort and its buildings as a reminder of Canada's earliest days. | France's empire in America is, no more, but the new Fort Ste.! Marie rising at Midland is intend- ed as reminder of its faith, skill The body was removed long be- and courage.

E, WHITBY NATO NATIONS ARE EXEMPTED INEXPORT LAW Washington (AP) -- The Tnited States national security council to- day exempted all the western European members of the North Atlantic treaty organization from a congressional ban against Ameri- can aid to countries which send strategic materials to the Soviet bloc. Western Germany also was ex- empted. The council headed by President Truman, held that in view of all considerations,it was to the secur- ity interest of the United States that they be exempted. The ban was approved by con- gress as a "rider" to an appropria- tions bill. Senator James D. Kem (Rep. Mo.) sponsored it. This Kem amendment, as it is generally called, authorized the security council to make exemp- tions when it was in the interest of the United States. Earlier this month the council announced that 20 other govern- ments had certified that they are not exporting strategic materials to the Soviet bloc and are eligible for Sontinued foreign aid from the In announcing the exemption, the council said not one of the coun- tries in the NATO organization has been able to certify it has not ex- ported to the Soviet bloc commodi- ties included in the prohibited cate- gories.
