Lost N.S. Stone May Be Found In Toronto By JOHN LeBLANC TORONTO (CP)--A long-lost} stone whose inscription pro- vides one of the oldest links with Nova Scotia's first French settlers--and also an_ historic puzzle--may come to light dur- ing the demolition of an 86- year-old building in the heart of Toronto's business section. It is Nova Scotia's 'Masonic Stone," bearing the date 1606 and, the Masonic square and | compasses, whose discovery in * 1827 and disappearance in 1876 has stirred up speculation among historians down through | the decades. | The stone, found on the shores of Annapolis Basin, has been described as perhaps the oldest inscription stone in North America. Some Masonic stu- dents and historians also have theorized that it is a symbol of the earliest race of freemasonry on this continent. How it got into the news Monday, as workmen prepared to rip down an ancient brick building just a block off busy Yonge Street to make way. for a parking lot, is the story of a long trail for a weather-worn stone--and of a classic bungle. | Judge Thomas Chandler Hali-| burton, Nova Scotia historian- author, wrote in 1829 of it hav- ing been found near Granville, N.S., at the site of the first land cleared for cultivation in Nova Scotia by the French, Its carved figures antedate the founding of Quebec by two years. While students still puzzled over the stone's significance, Haliburton around 1856 passed it on to a son, Robert, who later entrusted it to -Sanford Fleming, the railway builder who was later to become known as the father of standard time. Toronto, where it was the sub- ject of a paper before the Cana- dian Institute, the scientific so- ciety that was predecessor to the present Royal Canadian In- stitute, It stayed in the Insti- tute's building. . When the fnstitute was put- iting up a new building in 1876 |--the one now about to be torn down--the stone was to be built into the walls of one of the main rooms, with the inscription ex- posed. In a paper about the stone in 1950, R. V. Harris of Halifax, Masonic past grand master for Nova Scotia who has made a study of the relic, said it was reported that "the mason very stupidly covered it over with mortar and even the spot could not, afterwards be traced, al- though the mortar has been re- moved at several spots to look for it." Fleming had it brought to Fleming offered a $1,000 re- ward, and through the years the building has been searched from attic to cellar several times. The building later passed to the Sons of England and event- ually to City Parks Limited, which is razing it for a: car park and which will instruct workmen to watch for the stone during demolition. "Tf found, it will be returned to its original owners," the com- pany said Monday. The ownership may take some settling. Mr. Harris notes that when. the Institute sold the building to the Sons of England, the deed specified that the stone, when and if found, is its property. But he also notes that the younger Haliburton gave it. to Fleming on the understanding it was of loan and to be returned to Haliburton on demand, Liberals Examine A-Arms Position By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP)--The Liberal party' is re-examining its posi- tion on Canadian acquisition of nuclear arms and wants the government and Parliament to do so, too. So far, the Liberals have not come out definitely in favor of Canada declaring itself a non- nuclear power for all time, but this is one of the conclusions that might be reached in the current re-assessment of its po- sition being undertaken by the party's brain trust. Word of the reconsideration was given last week to a dele- THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 13,1962 97 - gation representing the Cana- dian Campaign for Nuclear Dis- armament during its mass lobby of MPs and leaders of all parties. Some of the lobbyists immediately jumped to the con- clusion that the Liberals def- initely supported a "'no-nuclear- arms-for-Canada stand. This, a Liberal party -source said Monday, was an improper] conclusion, probably fostered by the ban-the-bomb enthusiasm of the lobbyists. POLICY STATED Liberal policy, as stated by opposition Leader Pearson, has' been that acquisition or manu- facture nuclear arms are not necessary for Canadan under either Canadian or American con'rol, but that the over-all needs of Canadian security must be watched constantly: If world developments make the use of nuclear weapons by Canadian forces at home or abroad necessary, then the Lib- eral party would prefer to have|P0! control vested collectively in NATO. Government policy is that become necessary for the joint Canadian-American agen of North America. It is on this point that the lobbyists last ---- week were disappointed in their interview with Prime Minister Diefenbaker. ; The Liberal opposition, how- "i ever, says the time has come © for a re-examination of Can- ada's stand on nuclear wea- ». pons. Mr. Pearson told the dele- * gation that the Liberal party is 5" already making its own re-as- sessment of the situation. ate Canada should not acquire nu- clear weapons as long as there is any prospect for international agreement on disarmment. But the government will give no definite pledge against ac- quiring nuclear arms any time in the future, when they might PALACE OF LEGEND "a The 19th century palace of: Bavaria's King Ludwig 11, which inspired the Brothers Grimm to write Sleeping - gad now is a tourist attrace~ Appealing gifts, distinguished by the Ge@éonier label - Available only at EATON'S!
