road our ancestors the pion eers worked hard to build this nation to make it the fine prosperous country it is they suffered and sac rificed to build a home many families starved dur ing the hard winters there is a story that dur ing a particularly hard winter a soupbone was passed from farm to farm until it was completely robbed of its juices al though their life was filled with hardships and work they found ways to make merry and yet do some thing useful after a houseraising quilting applecoring or threshing bee one of the local farmers who played the fiddle would make music for the settlers and soon a stomping square dance would be raising the roof of a barn or cabin sometimes on a friday or saturday night a spelling bee would take place in the schoolhouse with all members of the neighbour hood from youngest to old est taking part one of the main reasons that the early settlers sur vived in the wilderness was that they could make use of their surroundings dur ing a very difficult winter some farmers were without food for their cattle all winter they laboured cutt ing green brush to use as feed for their livestock the cattle survived the winter and yet in spite of the farmers hard work in spring the cattle were drowned the pioneers had many disappointments the church was the cen tre of their lives and it was much more meaningful to them than to most of us today families of the same faith would group together to form a community these courageous deter mined pioneers laid the foundation for this coun try without them we would not enjoy the oppor tunities we do to live in a free country we would not know of expo 67 or cen tennial i for one am proud to say that i am a descen dant of the builders of our nation dance recital june 17 stouffville the edgcvale

rioux staff photo 000 students pass guntraining tests during the 1966 calen dar year an estimated 6000 students in the lake sim- coe district took training in the safe handling of fire arms and thereby qualified for their first hunting lic ence this number is a record for any one year since the mandatory aspect of hunter safety training was enacted in 1960 and brings the total number of students taking the courses since that time to approximately 25000 the number of persons applying for their initial licence each year is increasing and as the pop ulation grows and more leisure time becomes avail able to the workers it is evident that the demand for training will also in crease for many- of these people it will be their intro duction to the sport of hunting and many will re quire training before they can actively participate the department of lands and forests has recognized this need for training by appointing instructors the majority of whom are asso ciated with various fish and game clubs these instructors numbering approximately 300 in the lake simcbe district are widely dispersed and appli cants need only to contact the ontario department of lands and forests at maple to obtain information on instructions conducting classes in their particular areas as of march 1 1967 and until december 31 1967 it will be possible to purchase a hunting licence in one of three ways a by producing a prev ious hunting licence for renewal or as proof of previous hunting experience b by presenting a cer tificate issued by an examiner that is conservation officer and c by presenting
