Killaloe Once Had Many Interesting Rural Picnies There Were Occasional Hapâ€" (By W. J. Gorman in "Grab Samples" in The Northern Miner) The subject of this column may have a limited degree of interest for those readers who have not been fortunate enough to have lived in rural communâ€" ities thirtyâ€"five years ago or so, in the days bafore the automolbile, the paved highway, the movies, the radio, the war and the quints. The matter for disâ€" cussion is the rural picnic and in parâ€" ticular, as an outstanding example, the Killaloe picnic. Dwellers on farms and in the small village communities in the Ottawa Valâ€" ley at the turn of the century were not sunfeited with entertainment. _ The farm team on dirt roads did not proâ€" vide a means of rapid transportation and a twentyâ€"mile journey was a seriâ€" ous undertaking. Circumstances limitâ€" ed the radius of action to a narrowly prescribed circle. The villages rarely offered theatrical shows, cirecuses Oor exhibitions of local talent. There was the Fall Fair, the St. Patrick‘s Day concert, the Christmas entertainment and the odd dance, well spaced out in the year. To these the village and country people came in varying numâ€" bers but the Annual Picnic every inan, woman and child who could possibly move or secure transportation of any kind flocked. Unfortunate was the lot of the hired hand or the small boy who was left behind to guard the preâ€" mises, to bring in the cows and to wind up the long, regretful day listening to the happy afterthoughts of those who had been away at the doings. _ If there had been such a thing as an aeroplane and had it been aloft iover the picnic grounds on the Day, its passengers would have been able, early in the morning, to note the phenoâ€" menon of conveying thin clouds of dust, Interment was made in Timmin® py Fights, and So On. centering on the little village by the river, feathering out to the most reâ€" more farms in the sides of the mounâ€" tains, These dust streams were inâ€" halbited by people in buggies, demoâ€" crats, waggons and sulkies, with men and boys on foot or on horseback, They poured into the village from all direcâ€" tions and mingled in the sandy square, later going to the Picnic Grounds on the hill The Picnic was some occasion, It was really more than a picnic, in the sense that it offered an opportunity for a regionalâ€"scale visitation of friends, the meeting of enemies, the transaction of business such as horse trading. It was seized upon by the politicians of the county as an opportunity for making contact with the voters. Members Ootf parliament and their opponents in the "out" party invariably spoke at length and, strangely enough, were listened to in a day when the common people were simpleâ€"minded‘ enough to consider politicians important people. Wholeâ€" sale lobbying went on everywhere and many sly deals were made in hotel rcoms. The ladies of the village had a big day. They were called upon to provide and serve the dinner which was one of the important features of the occasion. This dinner was a sort of test of the culinary skill of the community and it invariably was a masterpiece, based on chicken and baked beans. A camp cook had been subsidized and he had been at work for several days, preparing the bean fires and baking the delightful comestible in. a manner and with an art now almost forgotten. Thousands of pies, hundreds of gallons of tea, tons of ice cream disappeared. There .was a ‘baseball ¢tocurnament, with Eganville, Killaloe, Brudenell and Barry‘s Bay putting teams in the field in the annual rivalry. By the way, Barry‘s Bay nearly always won as they had the Costello family to draw upon. The athletic programme ‘was Ssomeâ€" times rounded out by a lacrosse game, in which the Indians from Golden Lake tock part. Horse races were occasionâ€" ally tried but as betting was frowhed upon this sort languished. However, the Killaloe Picnic was notâ€" | ed for a reascn other than its speechâ€" j making, its sports, its dinner and it,s; general conviviality. In a community | predominantly Irish and Mountain Irish at that, the picnic offered a rare ozcasion for the settlement of disputes. Throughout the year it was a well reâ€" cognized convention that differences of | opinion, imagined .or actual slights, | political or personal arguments cou-ldi all be resolved in cne grand clean-up.l At many a dance rivalry in the settleâ€" | ments, in the lumber camp argumen‘ts,i in the fareâ€"ups on the river drive, there would appear the ominous threat: "I‘ll see you at the Killaloe Picnic!‘" And the disputants came in force, with their backers, their friends and their cliques. Feuds that had smoldered for months broke into flame on that day. Fights blosscmed in the later afternoon all over the village. Enemies would meet in the dusty square under the excited and watchful eyes of the crowd, words would be spoken and coats would be peeled. A rush of spectators would ring the battlers who, with roundhous:® blows bruised each other; grappling, tore each other‘s shirts and rolled on the ground. Boots, too, came into play and many‘s the rick was cracked. Too often the melee became generai * as friends of the victor or vanquished carried the fight farther. No sooner was one fisht finished than ancther started. Sometimes several raged at the same time and it was a difficult task for a small boy to take in all the rings of this annual circus. Scmetimes a beaten man, dragged off by his friends and refurbished, came back for more and not infrequently he won the second or even the third try. They were fighters in those days; they did not, as now, fight with filthy lanâ€" and longâ€"distance threats. Verbal butcher knives at forty paces were reâ€" A special attraction at the Cartier, Sunday midnight, Monday, Tuesâ€" dayday, Wednesday and Thursday, June 25th to 20th is the featurc film, "Elephant Boy."

A certain degree of fair play was imposed by the crowd wno would not permit a man to be brutally beaten nor gangzed by an overwhelmâ€" ing force. Weapons were nut permitâ€" | ted but lumberâ€"jack rules prevailed, which meant that fists and feéet were used and wrestling tactics were legitiâ€" ! mate. served for a later day and breed. The village had, at that time, no policeman nor were there any proâ€" vincial or other unwelcome disturbers The women folk were, naturally, pretâ€" ty badly upset when the fighting startâ€" ed, as it invariably did toward the tag end of the day. They were anxious to get their men out of town before they became involved but this was a pretty hopeless endeavour. The farmers came to town with the thought in the back cf their minds that they would see some excitement and they were not to be stampeded back into the hills withâ€" out that gratification. For another thing, a man who did not belong to some clique was rather rare and, in fact, might be in some personal danger being exposed to fire from both sides. The village people sometimes took sides as well but in general exercised considâ€" erable discretion. By nightfall the last of the farmers had whipped his team, galloping, across the railway tracks, roared over the bridge and up the hilll. The creaking of vehicles, the clinking of trace chains, the rumbling of wheels, died out into the country roads while, remaining, the villags populace wandered home. The Killalce Picnic was over for another vear. Northern Pioneer Dies in Cochrane James Palangio, One of the First Settlers of Cochâ€" rane, Will be Buried Toâ€" morrow in North Bay.

Even though the weapons may have been registered before does not alter the fact that it says very distinctly that all weapons of the sort referred to should be reâ€"registered before July 1st Attention is also called to the fact that one careful reader of The Advance says that it is especially worthy of attention that the law requires hereâ€" after that all revolvers, pistols, autoâ€" matic pistols, etc., shall be registered every five years. All who fail to register weapons of the kind indicated before July l1st, will be liable to a fine and other possible penalties.
