Meersham, Garbled Story Told Visitors By CARROL COBURN This is the time of year when one of the favorite in- door or outdoor sports of Canadians is swapping tales of the ignorant Americans who visit our northern clime. Some of them, we suspect, are just a teeny bit exaggerated. We have never, for example, met the fabulous fellow who always arrives in June or July with a pair of snowshoes strapped on top of his car. We doubt he ever existed, for one reason because in our experience not one American in ten thousand even knows what snowshoes are—probably thinks they’re some kind of fleece-lined galoshes. We have, however, been asked directions more than once by couples heading for Niagara Falls planning to spend the morning there and the afternoon in Mont- real, And even in a place as close as Detroit, the majority of our neighbors have no more idea of Canadian history than we have of MEMBERS of the Ladies’ Au: ca ary of Local 1-21 7, LWA, and Lloyd Whalen, president of Local 1-217 at the Auxiliary’s Banquet, in the Melrose Cafe, June 27, in Vancouver. pre-Incan civilization in South America. “Ontario History” What this is all leading up to]. is our discovery that the Ontario Department of Travel and Pub- licity is fixing to remedy that. They have put out an illustrated pamphlet, now being distributed at tourist information offices, en- titled “Ontario History”, which we found most interesting. “It sounds a little peculiar in spots, mind, but no one can deny it’s in- teresting. The pamphlet first describes how Ontario was originally in- habited by tribes of Indians. The author, with a real gift for or- iginality, aptly describes this early inhabitant as “the noble redman”. After a few words of somewhat grudging admission OFFICERS of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Local 1-217, IWA, at Tt hae their installation ceremony conducted by President Lloyd Whalen of Local 1-217, IWA, June 27, in Vancouver.

Loyalists.” Enter the U.E.L., complete with all the proprieties. With the arrival of the Loy- alists, Ontario’s history really gets into its swing. We read: “Many had to leave all their property behind and arrived here penniless ,others were able to bring their wealth with them. The former group went through incredible hardships during their first years in this new homeland, the latter went to work immediately building some of the finest homes in Canada.” Thus establishing a tradition which has been maintained un- broken ever since. Pipeline Deal That first bunch, of. course, were dopes to be suffering hard- ships just because they’d arrived here penniless. Nowadays all kinds of Americans arrive here penniless, but all they have to do is float a pipeline deal or some- thing and the government will lend them as much as they can carry away with them. Finally we get back to the noble redman. Says the pamphlet: “Large bands of Indians were also among these early settlers. Of their descendants, some have chosen to become Canadians, others remained on their re- serves.” Just another bunch of foreign- ers. After that the pamphlet kind of dies away. There are six lines about the War of 1812, four lines about 1867 and Confederation, and then just nothing. Seems like Ontario hasn’t had any history since 1867. There’s a mention that Standard Time was worked out in 1879 by Sir Sanford Fleming of Toronto, and that the Women’s Institute was founded at Stoney Creek on February 19, 1897. And after that, the dark. Probably just as well, too.
