ORTH 3529 Store @ 19 P.M. at, tI 6 JO'S BY A COLLECTOR of antiques once bewailed the fact to me that every time a bride moved into a family home she threw out personal trea- sures and links with the past and every time a_ family moved from a large home to a smaller, valuable and inter- esting articles were disposed of, often as a mixed lot in an auction sale or as "white ele- phants". Sometimes though, antiques can be a problem. Some pieces of furniture are large and not adaptable to apart- ment living. Some need ex- pensive restoring; all need care from dust and damp and light and dryness and some, like a_ collection of books, would fill a cabinet. Yet to anyone with a con- science, antiques are demand- ing. They stare back at their inheritor with an insistence that. says '"'We've been in the family for one hundred and fifty years. What right have you to dispose of what our owners held dear?" Faced in some degree, with this problem is Mrs. E. J. Ferguson who was_ kind enough this week to show me some of the family treasures of her late husband's family. Her husband, the late E, Jack Ferguson was a great- grandson of one of Oshawa's earliest settlers, John Wilson Sr., whose family name is perpetuated by "Wilson Road", often erroneously at- tributed to Benjamin Wilson, Oshawa's first settler and with whom there is no con- nection. ALTHOUGH familiarly known as "Scotch Wilson", John Wilson was born at Ber- wick-on-Tweed, Northumber- Jand County, England, in 1802. Early in life he migrated to the Island of Trinidad where he saw a great deal of the slave trade. He then went to Belize, British Honduras, where he resided for some years. He returned to Great Brit- ain where he married Scot- tish Margaret Douglas Burn in 1834 and after a brief so- journ, he sailed with his bride to Canada, They made their first home in Whitby; then in 1836 John Wilson purchased 150 acres in Oshawa, from King Street East almost to Bloor Street and from Wilson Road South stretching west to three lots west of Central Park Boulevard. This area now encompass- ing streets of modern homes, Cadillac Avenue, Highland Avenue, Central Park Boule- vard and others was once the Wilson estate. On it John Wil- son had built a fine, large house to accommodate his growing family of five sons. Beautifully landscaped with a sweeping view, the grounds JOURNAL JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times included an artificial lake complete with miniature steam launch and a race track upon which his thor- oughbred horses were put through their paces. Also on the property was a brick kiln. _JOHN WILSON exhibited his red and white bricks in the Paris Universal Exhibi- tion of 1878 and was awarded a gold medal diploma for the best exhibit. A huge barn on the Wilson property was built of Wilson bricks. One of John's sons, William Wilson, was a breeder of Clydesdale' horses and many may yet remember his barn on Wilson Road South, near King Street, on which two Clydesdale horses were painted. John Wilson was the first to see the need of a large music hall in Oshawa and it was he who built the Wilson Block on King Street East which in- cluded on the second floor the Music Hall where the Marks Brothers and other travelling troupers "trod the boards'. John Wilson died at the age of 83, His obituary states that up to the time of his illness he was a true type of hale and hearty English gentle- man. He was a_ consistent member of the Episcopal Church and a staunch sup- porter of law and order. Up- right in all his dealings, he was a generous father and kind friend. THE HEIRLOOMS that are crowding in on Mrs. Ferguson bear mute testimony to the gracious way of life of the first Wilson family: a carved mahogany settee with match- ing chairs, an oval "'feather" mahogany table, a combina- tion writing, sewing and jew- ellery cabinet inlaid with mother of pearl, a tea.chest and a snuff box of matching wood, dated 1833; an_ oil painting of John Wilson in a heavy gilt frame (1834) and a miniature of his wife, Mar- garet painted on ivory by G. M. Mather, 72 Princes Street, Edinburgh (1834); a carved walking stick and a sword cane, initialled J.W. She also treasures a locket containing a lock of hair and a ring containing a tiny braid of hair; a wedding veil, hand- painted, white satin cushion for the wedding rings and a matching draw-string bag for the prayer books. Among the books is a Cyclo- pedia in two volumes, 'A Universal Dictionary of the Arts and Sciences, 1728; A History of Scotland in two volumes, 1751-1752; a pocket Bible, 1795 and a vade mecum (a pocket prayer book), 1753. Handling these precious ob- jects, the spirit falters in the face of the omnipotence of time. SOCIAL NOTICES MARRIAGE The marriage of Ruth Alver- na Spiers, Oshawa, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs, T. H. Spiers, of Burk's Falls, Ontario, to Samuel William Starr, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Starr of Port Perry, took place July 27, 1967, in Oshawa with the Reverend A. G. E. Mitchell of Peterborough offi- ciating. Salesman Gives Russian Women Proud Uplift LONDON (AP)--A British bra tycoon, who took a suitcase full of samples to Moscow, has returned to London empty handed. "They bought my entire range of 72 sample bras," said Dennis Wallen of the Perfect Bra Co. "This is very encourag- ing." For years Russian ladies have been using an_ article known as a "bust-halter'"' "liftchek,"" which does its basic job competently but far from esthetically, "Our. original plan was to show the bras at a fashion parade," he explained, "but at the Jast moment we were told it would not be proper to show such garments on live models in public. "We just had to show them around by hand." UPSTAGED PLAY LEXINGTON, Va. (AP)-- Piedmont Airlines was asked recently to reroute a_ flight from Roanoke to Washington because the plane drowned out an amateur theatre company's présentation of a Shakespeare drama during a point at the end of the first act.

Mother's Talk Affects Child's Mental Maturity VANCOUVER (CP) -- Moth- er's talk is an important sound in the development of a child, Says an authority on language and its role in mental develop- ment. Prof. James N. Britton of the University of London, England, says children learn from listen- ing and a mother can't start talking to her child too early. | Her voice stands for security in the home." Prof. Britton said children learn to talk by talking with their parents and this is \the first stage in their intellectual and social development. He said the ability of a fam- ily to talk together is crucial to later language development and mental development of the child. In a family where the parents are too busy or indifferent to talk, he said, children lose curiosity and can become apa- thetic. ning.
