Y ou may have noticed the banners on light posts, in some of the local

This is a great way to honour family members or friends who have served in the armed forces. It also reminds everyone that we must Remember Them for giving and keeping us the freedom we have today.
Well, Paisley Branch has talked with the municipality and have the okay to hang up to 24 banners on light posts in Paisley. Diane Gottschalk at 519-353-5864 graciously took on the project of gathering pictures from family members and friends of the veteran to place in these places of honour.

I’m sure that if you want to have a banner made to keep and/or hang somewhere else, it can be obtained also.
A picture of the veteran needs to be supplied.

Vandalism in Paisley?
I t was brought to my attention, by a few people in, as well as outside
our village, that there have been inci-dents in the area where gas is being stolen from trucks. One brilliant indi-vidual decided to bring a cordless drill to a car dealership and try to drill a hole into a truck’s gas tank.
Of course there was a spark and the truck started on fire! Wow! Big surprise! Gas thieves really need to read up on gas and it’s properties. They will surely find that it does more than make cars and trucks run.
Anyway...Werner and Margit Sukstorff are now short a vehicle as well as some unfortunate persons car that was parked close by. It is really sad to think that this can happen in Paisley since we don’t seem to suffer from that kind of vandalism….with the odd exception.
I am wondering about the condition of the person (s) that were controlling the drill? Any burns that needed attend-ing? While I do sincerely hope that the vandal wasn't
hurt, I also hope that there was some kind of a lesson learned.
If fuel is required by anyone in town, for a purpose, and you don’t have the cash please pop by the office, perhaps I can help. But please ask, rather than try to hurt or maime yourself and/or destroy vehicles that fall prey to these pranks!
Have a great day everyone and be on the look out for pranksters as they are not always educated on the prank that they are attempting to pull.

Paisley & Area Health Clinic Celebrates 10
Years of Service
A t a recent meeting of the Paisley & Area Health Clinic Committee it
came to light that our clinic had just completed 10 years of service. I know that there are lots of cynics out there that would really question ‘service’ and in some ways it is certainly justified.
The clinic was built by our Community so that our Village could avail itself to a new provincial health care initiative called Family Health Teams (FHT). In our case, it is known as the Brockton & Area Family Health Team (BAFHT). Information about the BAFHT can be found at their website at www.bafht.com.
Like any new initiative, there was a steep learning curve. It involved developing several new organizations to provide service, in many new locations and buildings, and to clients who didn’t understand the concept. It was inevitable that there would be growing pains! There were many,
particularly in the early years, where the services were quite limited as well as our understanding of how the FHT concept worked. At one point about 6 years ago things took a real up turn when a physician worked out of the clinic a few days each week, however that scenario didn’t turn out as we had hoped. Our most steadfast and loyal provider is Dr. Michael Gill who has made monthly visits from the early going and still see patients at our Clinic.
The operation of the BAFHT has grown and matured as well. As a large organization they function very well. They have managed to recruit many excellent health care professionals and services continue to grow and expand. We presently have a Nurse Practitioner at the clinic 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday & Thursday). The staff at our Clinic is as follows: Chiropodist ~ Danielle Bannerman; Dietitian ~ Jennifer MacTavish; Kinesiologist ~ Holly Devisser; Nurse Practitioner ~ Jennifer Cowan; Respiratory Therapist ~ Janet McLaughlin; Social Worker ~ Rob Stalker; Team Support ~ Kerri Robinson and as mentioned Dr. Gill
one day per month. The FHT also offers programs such
as Senior Exercise classes. I am personally very pleased to see the Clinic open and servicing our commu-nity 3 days per week. This is a good thing and if our demand for services continues to grow the Clinic will respond to that need.
Moving forward there are initiatives being pursued. Probably the area of biggest concern is creating a system whereby residents who are rostered with the Chesley physicians can access care at the Paisley Clinic. Presently only patients rostered with a Walkerton doctor can access care in Paisley. I know that this may appear to be easily rectified but that is not the case. Nonetheless we continue to work on this.
Another area of address is increasing accessibility for the Amish community. A funding request for a pilot program was unfortunately turned down but hopefully more opportunities will become available.
For the past ten years the Municipality of Arran-Elderslie has managed the Clinic, The Mayor,
Council and staff have provided strong support for several undertakings, both with the building and its programs and continue to keep our profile on the radar with local physician recruitment efforts. Obviously having a doctor open an office at our Clinic would be an optimal situation.
It was understood from the beginning that this would be unlikely. For this reason we should be thrilled with our existing clinic staff and the awesome care that they provide us.
We have come a long way and there is still more to be done but let’s celebrate the successes. Information about the Paisley & Area Health Clinic is as follows:

The Honourable Bill Walker, MPP Grey Bruce Queens Park Room 251 Toronto M7A 1A4 Owen Sound N4K 4K5 Paisley October 6, 2018 Re : Open letter re climate mitigation measures Dear Bill, I am writing, as Doug Ford is campaigning in the West against the carbon tax. Many Ontarians including myself consider this an irresponsible action. While we all know that the US is an important trading partner for Canada, we must change the discourse rather than going along with this extreme administration in the US. We need to proceed with the internationally agreed reductions in carbon emissions. Industry would actually welcome predictable regulations. In fact many jurisdic-tions and US states are working on carbon emission reductions with economic foresight. The constant political pull back is very destabilizing. To cut the reality of climate change out of the political frame of reference will fa-cilitate bad development, like sprawl f. ex. and squander opportunities to change the way we live and work. Canada is a signatory to the Paris Agreement. This is the only plan and only chance we have . Is Canada forced to be a rogue state? The attached petition is already overtaken, as Doug Ford cancelled Cap and Trade ( not just the green energy act) before OLA sat . I know that you wouldn’t and couldn’t present it, if I collected more signatures. However I would like you to see it as a barometer: I stood in the parking lot across from the Paisley Fall Fair ( which happened to be on world climate action day ) for just one hour and asked neighbours during the following week. Of the people leaving or arriving in the parking lot and those I approached 2/3rds signed the petition. It was important to me not to fall back on clicktivism, but to air this issue face to face with neighbours and visitors.. You are thinking of deficits in terms of not hampering future generations. Please note there is another budget : the fossil fuel load we may burn before the tipping point is reached. Sincerely Sibylle Walke
Petition to the Ontario Legislature regarding climate change mitigation
Whereas the economy of the Province of Ontario is increasingly affected by extreme weather events like flash floods, wind storms and out of control forest fires the Government of Ontario is set to cancel all business contracts established under the cap and trade system of the previous legislation period. To cancel previous contracts could cost upwards of 4.5 billion tax dollars in compensation and revenue losses. The current Ontario Government is also intending to fight the federal climate mitigation program, which would be imposed in the absence of stringent provincial legislation. We, the undersigned citizens of Ontario object to our tax dollars being misused to delay and undermine measures to address the reality and ef-fects of global warming. We recommend the Ontario Legislature honour existing cap and trade contracts, even if new legislation is being developed. We need the current Ontario legislature to come forward with legislation aimed at effectively curbing green house gas emissions or accept a federal carbon tax program.

Gifts for Kids
A s the song says “it’s the most wonderful time of the year!”
Well not quite yet but it is just around the corner. Christmas is coming, quicker than most of us are ready for.
The elves at the Paisley Imman-uel Missionary Church are getting ready for another busy month before the Christmas season. They are the ones who sort all the donated toys and food into Christmas hampers to be delivered to families in the Paisley and area who are in need of a little help during the festive season.
We all have memories of Christmas that we celebrated as we grew from childhood to adulthood. Most of us were fortunate to have happy memories and stories to pass onto our growing families. The elves are working hard to make Christmas a happy memory for all.
This is where you can help. When out shopping for your loved ones pick up a gift or extra food to donate to Gifts for Kids.
After November 11 items can be dropped off at my home, 203 Queen St. S., Paisley. Just open the front porch door and put it into the deco-rated boxes. Don’t be concerned about any food freezing as I take things in during freezing weather.
There will be donation boxes in other loca-tions through-out town toward the end of No-vember. Pais-ley Fresh-mart has pre-packaged bags of grocer-ies all ready for purchase
and they will take care of getting your donation to the church.
I will have more information for the December issue of the Advo-cate. In the meantime let’s help make this Christmas a special one for everyone.

Bruce County Memories
“DOWN THE SAUGEEN”
PART TWO
Last month’s welcome reopening of the Mill Creek bridge in Port Elgin offered a reminder of the importance of bridges and waterways in Bruce County’s his-tory. In this second part of his 1983 article, John Reynolds describes the lives of some early homesteaders who settled near its banks.
Y ou cannot live very long near the Saugeen River without feeling its
influence. The river played a crucial role in the lives of the pioneers of this region. By the time the surveyors ar-rived, many homesteaders had already preceded them by way of the river.
David and William Kennedy were two of the earliest pioneers to settle in Saugeen Township. They arrived in 1851 and built a small
shanty, 13 feet square, near a pure, spring-fed creek.
One of many annoyances the settlers had to live with was the over-abundance of mice. These rodents would chew at their shoes while they ate at the table and at night, pulled hair out of their heads while they slept. Mice used this hair for their nests.
William lived here for over thirty years and served as an elder in the Presbyterian Church in Burgoyne for twenty-five of those years. He eventually settled in Tara.
David Brown Milne was born in 1882 in a small frame house on Con. 10 Saugeen Township. David was the youngest of ten children born to William and Mary (Doverty).
After arriving with his family from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, William hired himself out as a farm labourer. Their rented house was situ-ated near the Saugeen River and sur-rounded by a forest of hard maples. This offered the boy an idyllic place to explore the countryside and discover
the beauty of nature. When David was about
eight years old the family moved to Paisley where the boy finished public school and then graduated from Walkerton High School.
He taught for several years in Elderslie and Saugeen Townships, earning money to repay his debts before returning to art, his first love.
At twenty-one, the young artist set off for New York and eventual fame. His paintings are found in major galleries across Canada.

PAISLEY OPEN GOLF
TOURNAMENT
O nce again the weather couldn't have been better for golfing. The
2018 Paisley Open was held on September 22, 2018 at the Southampton Golf and Country Club.
As usual our day started with registration, coffee and muffins at the legion and then loading everyone on the buses and heading to the course. Upon our arrival we got our carts and our bagged lunch and then our instructions from the great hosts. We then all enjoyed 18 holes of four person best ball golf.
After golf we headed back to the legion for our delicious meal, catered by Kevin and Carrie Purdy, and prizes for everyone. There were prizes for closest to the line and on the green for both men and women and also a prize for the best putter.
A full day like this takes a lot of planning, a lot of people and businesses to make it work. We had an awesome team of volunteers that worked hard to pull it all together. We would like to thank all the businesses, golfers and the community for your support in making this such a success-
ful and fun day. We couldn't do it with-out you.
We will once again be making donations to the Paisley Central School breakfast club and other legion charities.
Please take time to thank and support all the businesses that help make our community such a great place to live, work and play. A complete list of donors follows. THANK YOU ALL!

N ovember Paisley Advocate 2018. Happy Fall everyone! With a
great mix of weather, we have had a great mix of activities at Paisley Central School. We have had a super fun time with our spirit dress up days of Wearing Fall Colours, Dressing up as a Black Cat and Wearing Orange and Black for those who celebrate Halloween.
The primary classes dressed in their Halloween costumes and paraded throughout the school. The dress up parade has been a tradition for many, many years.
The two Cross Country Meets held at the Saugeen Bluffs were first cold and rainy and muddy to an absolute perfect day to go for a run. Our Paisley team did fantastic. A group of 30 members trained for most of September. They faced the challenge and we are so proud of them. Congratulations, Paisley Cross Country Team.
Our Co-ed Soccer team consisting of 16 members from Grades 5-8 practiced hard for their Soccer Tournament in Port Elgin. They played against Sullivan, G. C. Huston, Northport, Tara and Port Elgin Saugeen Central and demonstrated what a great team player school we are!
The Paisley School Glee Club opened the Owen Sound Attack Hockey game with their beautiful singing of O’Canada. And then they were lucky enough to watch the game in prime seats.
The school held a Kindergarten registration for all those little ones anxious to start school in September, 2019. If you missed it, contact the school or better yet come on in and see what a great school it is.
If you heard a big crunch in October, well it was Paisley School All of us crunched into a juicy apple to celebrate Apples and Big Crunch Day. Thank you to The Breakfast Club for donating all of those apples.
As we head into the month of November we have many activities planned. Our Spirit Days include a “Stuffies Day” on Thursday, Novem-ber 8 and an 80s day on Friday, No-vember 30.
Our School Community Council Meetings have started and the next one will be on Wednesday, November 7 and then again on Wednesday, December 5. Meetings start at 6:30 in the Paisley School library. All are welcome.
Paisley School will be having its own Remembrance Day Ceremony on Friday, November 9. All are wel-come to join us in the gymnasium, starting at 10:20.
A number of fundraising events are happening already and the grade 7s and 8s thank you for your support
of their upcoming spring trip to Otta-wa through your participation in Fresh From the Farm and the Blues Fest Dinner. Elmira Chicken, and the Huron Ridge Poinsettia sales are just a few that will be available in early to mid-November. Note that the Huron Ridge Poinsettia delivery is on Wednesday, December 5. Stay tuned for other events coming soon!
Progress Reports will be going home on Friday, November 16 and Interviews will be held on Thursday, November 22 in the evening and on Friday, November 23 in the morning from 9-12.

And as November nears to the end we can’t forget to remind you to come to our Celebration Assembly on Fri-day, November 30. All Celebration As-semblies begin at 12 noon.

It begins at 7 pm on Friday, No-vember 30 and Pais-
ley Central School will be putting in a float! Go, Paisley Panthers!

How the Bear Lost His Tail
A n old trapper told me this story so you can take it for what it’s worth.
Some of it is questionable. When I was a young lad we didn’t
have much but we knew where to go and listen to great stories being told.
That would be the local Barber Shop and yes it had a red and white pole out front. If little ears were listening stories would be swapped by elders of the community. One of the best stories was “How the bear lost his tail or at least had it shortened. It is a chilling story.
Ice fishing was the name of the game. We would start by drilling two holes in the ice about three feet apart. One hole we fished in with a black cloth line and in the other hole we would look down and watch the fish play with our bait. Like miniature sharks the fish would swim around cir-cling our bait ready to strike at any sec-ond.
On really bright days we would put a piece of stove pipe on top of the viewing hole so we could see fish down on the bottom. Snow would be packed around the pipe to keep it upright.
Too much light and you could not see the bottom. Sometimes a black tow-el would be put over your head when looking down the stovepipe to eliminate the light. This was our invention. We're
still working on a patent. Today there are fish cameras that you drop down the hole to monitor how many fish there are.
Now we didn’t know it, but Mr. Bear had been watching us pull up lots of fine fish. While watching he was
making mental notes as to what we were doing because as soon as our lines were pulled he was going fishing too. He already had made a fishing line and for a hook he used a piece of barbed wire with a grub on it from an old manure pile as bait. Now you are going to say how did he make a fishing line?
It wasn't easy. He wasn't sleeping in hibernation all the time. He had
carefully removed some of the long hairs from his tail and made them into a fishing line. Not many people know this but bears used to have long black beautiful tails similar to those of horses.
About midafternoon all lines were pulled and we were headed for home.
As soon as we were out of sight Mr. Bear headed towards the two holes at a full gallop. He didn’t un-derstand completely how we caught so many fish but he was going to copy our fishing tech-niques. At the first hole he dropped his line down and
at the second hole he dropped his tail in the ice hole in hopes that it would at-tract some fish if he wiggled it because that’s what it had looked like from the shore where he had been watching and hiding. You never know.
Mr. Bear sat there for two hours and never even had a nibble. So a frustrated Mr. Bear reeled in his line, turned and was ready to head for shore
when he realized there was a problem. You see his tail had frozen into the
ice hole. Not many people know this but bears used to have long black beautiful tails similar to those of horses. What was he to do? Mr. Bear contemplated for a minute. He knew hot water would do the trick but there was none out there on the ice.
Suddenly it dawned on him what he had to do. Yes, he would pee on his tail. Well that just made things worse. When you are at a hockey game you see the Zamboni going around the rink and he is spreading a tiny amount of hot water on the surface and it freezes immediately.
Mr. Bear was now in a panic mode. What to do? He knew he had to do something. What he did was a very brave thing. Without hesitation Mr. Bear reared up and with a great tug pulled his tail out of the hole. Or that’s what he thought he had done. Mr. Bear had actually pulled his tail off and was now without a tail. It could have been worse. He could have left some of his hairy valuables frozen to the ice.
Now every bear born from then on has had a very short tail or no tail at all.
Yes, when I retire I hope I can do a little barbering on the side just so I can keep up to date on all the great outdoor stories. There has to be some truth to this story because the next spring I re-trieved a bear's tail while trolling for suckers.

Mary MacKay’s Window on the Past
Local Historian Completes 20
th Book
M ary MacKay has just completed her 20th book since her retire-
ment in 1993. Some have been single- story children’s books for her grand-children; most have been historical nar-ratives based on the lives of early set-tlers to the area.
Her first one was the Reid Family History about her mother’s ancestors who came from the Kintyre Peninsula in Scotland and settled on the Fourth Concession of Elderslie.
Her latest one is “The McKay/ MacKay Family History” about her husband’s family from Islay, Scotland . Note the title has the two spellings of MacKay because in her research she found the spelling changed from generation to generation and even between brothers. She also has written a third family history, “From the Antrim Coast to the Bounties of Bruce”, the story of her father’s ancestors, the McCurdys, who came from County Antrim in Ireland and settled on lot 9 Concession 1 Elderslie.
There are not many McCurdys in her immediate family so she researched five other local McCurdy branches plus the McCaws (all from Ireland) and included them in an appendix which added 50 pages to an already 200 page book.
These books were written by hand long before she had a computer and she hired someone to type them and
arrange them for publication. The shelves of her office are lined with 3-ring binders full of other family research, McLaughlin, Lewis, Park, her husband’s ancestors as well as Mahar, Mitchell , Taylor and Aitken from her genealogy. Each of these would make another book had she completed the last step.
In 1998 when the Salem Cemetery Committee took down the Salem Presbyterian Church on the Tenth of Elderslie and erected a cairn, Mary took on the task of researching the 88 families buried there and writing them up in a book. This represented 70 fam-ily names, 292 people , 50 of whom did not have a gravestone marker. Since the date for the dedication of the cairn was set she only had ten months to com-plete the work and all writing and edit-ing was done by hand.
She had three typists helping her. She did three printings of “Families Buried In Salem Cemetery “ and each edition had more pages added. The money from the sale of the books all went to the restoration fund for the cemetery resulting in all stones being restored and standing on new bases.
Another big undertaking was in response to a request from people who lived in Ellengowan, a community in the early history of the area .“It Happened in Ellengowan” has 275 pages which included the history of the farms and the genealogy of 114 families.
It also included a chapter of clippings from the Paisley Advocate
about the activities of the residents of Ellengowan in 1900- 1901.
Turning her interest to the other side of Elderslie she published “First Families of Dobbinton”.
She researched and recorded the genealogy of the Dobbin, Foster, King, Clement, Hammell, Traub and Potter Families as well as the lot owners in Dobbinton over the years and the history of the Dobbinton United Church.
But the project that monopolized the most time and attention was the restoration of Rusk’s Cemetery located on the next farm to where she and Jim lived for over 50 years. She researched every family buried there, 351 people , 104 with no name on a gravestone. There were no early records for her to go by, only a map drawn on the back of an old calendar listing only the family name on each 6 bed-plot. Unlike the Salem Cemetery project where there were many descendants living in the area to contribute their family history, there were no descendants in the area at all.
From her research she chose six families and changed her writing style from genealogy to narrative and wrote six book-sized historical narratives. By this time in her writing career she had progressed to using a computer and the use of Ancestry.com . Descendants of the people buried in Rusk Cemetery from all over Ontario and as far away as California and British Columbia have contacted her to buy her books and make donations to the cemetery
restoration fund. Every year she continues to have
visitors to tour around the area and share the research she has on their family. She has a filing cabinet full of duo tangs and 3-ring binders each with the history of a family buried in Rusk’s Cemetery .The money from the sale of these books also went to restoring the cemetery with the work being done by the township crew.
A recent book that took Mary three years to research and write is “First Among First”, the story of Thomas Orchard who had the first store in Paisley, was the first postmaster ,built the first brick store, was the first treasurer of Paisley, member of first school board and the first Justice of the Peace.
Intrigued by the question ‘Why did Thomas Orchard and his wife and nine children leave Paisley in 1869 and where did they go? Mary searched for the answers and wrote the story of one of Paisley’s first citizens and included in the narrative the stories of seventeen other early families who must have dealt in his store.
Many of the stories from her books she has shared with you if you read her column “Mary’s Window on the Past” in this paper. For the last nine years she has written an article for every edition of the Paisley Advocate .
With eleven issues a year this makes her 100th article and she has promised more to come.

Branch 295 Paisley Legion News
Gems from the Treasure Chest
Legion This Month: Okay, let’s start off by fixing my mistake from last month’s edition.
M onday night cards are now starting at 6:45 pm. I asked
for the wrong time last month. The regular article will be changed.
It is November. This means that the annual Poppy Drive is now in full swing. Please ensure you get your Poppy and donate whatever you can. Also, if you would like to donate to the Poppy Fund, please call Peter Cannon at 519-385-0011 to complete the process. As I have stated before, this money does not belong to the Paisley Branch of the Legion. It is a trust fund that must be used for assistance to Vet-erans, bursaries to children of members entering post-secondary education, hospital equipment, supporting youth events through the Legion, i.e. Bob Atkinson Cross Country Run, poster and literary contest and speeches and all the other charities that are allowed by Command.
On the last day of the Poppy Drive, November 11th, Remembrance Day, there will be the annual ceremony at the cenotaph where we all gather to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, those who have served and those who are serving. Who knows what our lives would be like
now if these brave people had not stepped up to ensure we have the life we have today. This year celebrates 100 years since Armistice Day.
We need to, and ‘Will, Remember Them’. Please come out and be a part of this very necessary celebration. It, of course, will begin just before 11 am and all will observe 2 minutes of silence at 11. If, by chance, the weather does not allow an outside service, it will be moved inside to the hall upstairs at the Branch. After the service, lunch will be served at the Branch. Please drop in for some great comradeship and maybe share some of your feelings about those extraordinary people who we are celebrating.
The week prior to Remembrance Day, Sunday, 04 NOV 18, there will be a service held at the United Church. If you want to be part of the Legion service please come to the church by 10:45 to join in the parade of colours and be part of our special Sunday service. ‘We Will Remember Them’ always, but especially this year celebrating 100 years since Armistice Day. Also on Remembrance Day, there will be a dinner served in the evening. Everyone is welcome to come and continue the celebration of our lives today by enjoying a great meal and listening to the story that our special
speakers after the meal. This year four students from
Kincardine District High School will be talking of their experiences while they walked the trail of the Italian Campaign, made by our Canadian Forces and their Allies during WWII.
I’m sure this will be a great presentation and I sure it will be emotional as we think of all the struggles and horrors these people faced during the hard fought battles. The Branch will be open all day and the dinner will be served at 6:30 pm. Please come out early to enjoy some good conversation prior to the meal. Cost of the meal is $20.00 and I’m sure will be well worth while. To allow the caterer to know the exact numbers, please make your reservation prior to 08 NOV 18.
You can do this by dropping into the Branch during open hours or calling the Branch (519-353-5444) or Dorothy (519-353-8883) and letting us know you are attending and how many will be in your party.
Oh yeah, the early bird campaign is drawing to a close, so this day is a great opportunity to get those memberships paid up and get the reduction in your cost. Let’s make every effort to get them paid.
Yes it is that time of year again.
The Paisley Santa Clause Parade is happening at 7:00 pm on 30 NOV 18. The Food and Toy Drive will be in full force again and the Branch is where you can drop off any donations you have if you miss the collection during the parade. After the parade the Branch will be open to come in and enjoy comradeship and the great entertainment of Lee Grant. He, will put up some excellent music and quite often everyone will join in with him to sing some of the oldies.
There will also be a meat draw during the evening. Please take time to come in and, just maybe, take home a great meal. The very next day, 01 DEC 18, the Ladies Auxiliary is hosting a Bazaar upstairs at the Branch. I bet there will be lots of great things to see and also get started or keep going on that Christmas shopping.
Well that’s if, again for this month, but as always, remember, anyone can join the Royal Canadian Legion. And ladies, remember that the Auxiliary is always looking for new members also. Please come out to help support these great organizations and see how fulfilling your work with them really is.

‘LEST WE FORGET’
O n November 11th, we set aside our activities to
REMEMBER those who sacrificed their lives so we could live free in Canada.
Honestly, we SHOULD remember those Veterans every day not just on Remembrance Day. The Paisley Branch of Royal Canadian Legion have provided the Community of Paisley and area to help remind us of those men and women who went to War.
Over the years, the Legion have supported Minor Hockey, Bob Atkinson Cross Country Run, , they had the County Road #11 (heading to Chesley) renamed “ Veterans Way”, supported public speaking, Remembrance art work to name a few activities they do.
This is 100th Anniversary of the ending of World War 1, the war to end all wars. However, World War 11 came in 1939 and the men and women of the area lined up to defend our Country and countries overseas.
In some of the Women’s Institute’s Tweedsmuir Community Histories there are letters from the men overseas. We complain when it is nasty weather here but we have no idea of how much they suffered for us.
The Dudgeon family at the Williscroft wrote to men. Here is an excerpt from two:
L.A.C. J.D.R. Rushton of the R.C.A.F.
He was thanking the Williscroft War Workers for the cigarettes as they were like gold to them as well as letters and parcels. At the time of writing he was in Tunisia and hoping to get to Algiers. He stated no towns left and Gabes, Sfax, and Sousse are bombed nearly ground level, a few olive trees and the rest looks like a waste land.
The other letter from: Pte. K.R.Farrow was pleased to
receive his parcel as it had been re-addressed 3 times before reaching him. He had received a box of chocolates which was a real treat. He said they were about 8 months old ,some completely dried up and lost their taste but were still darn glad to get them. These chocolates had been to Italy and back to England be-fore he got them. The weather was terrible—it rains, then foggy, and if not raining foggy.
In looking at area History books,
one can see that Paisley and area have served our Country well when it came to Military conflict.
The Crimean War just ended in 1856 when Paisley was first being settled . Inkerman, Balaclava, and Alma were 3 intense field battles which were won by British and French armies. Paisley named these streets after those battles.
Under an old Militia Law every
able-bodied man was liable for military duties. Paisley was organized by John Valentine in command and “mustered” for a parade every May 24.
Other conflicts where our people enlisted were: The Fenian Threat-1866; The Riel Rebellion- 1870; The Northwest Rebellion – 1885; and The South African –Boer War – 1901.
On May 22, 1922, Paisley and Area citizens unveiled and dedicated the granite monument standing in the Memorial Square to remember the people of Paisley and Area who gave their lives in W.W. 1 (1914-1918).
During this time the Paisley Crest (which flies outside the Museum) was designed by the late John Shoemaker and David Forrester who was Reeve at the time.
It was first used as decorative mo-tif on the monument. After examin-ing the Crest, notice the “V” which depicts the Teeswater and Saugeen Rivers meeting at the Bridge in the Centre. The saw, churn and the bag of flour, represent early industries of Paisley. The Latin says “Not for us, but for the Village”. This motto was practiced by our predecessors.
Again WW11 (1939-1945) our men and women went to fight for our freedom This time on
November 11th, 1949 a bronze plaque was unveiled at the War Memorial Community Centre. At the entrance to the Paisley Cemetery , a Memorial has been built in memory of Veterans who have died since the
close of W.W. 11. It was dedicated in 1969.
We salute the Paisley Branch of Royal Canadian Legion #295 that help us to remember those who sacri-ficed their lives and Please come out to the Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph on November 11th at 10:30 am.
On Friday, November 9th, Patrick Kelly will be speaking on Remem-brance Day at the Museum at 7:30 pm. Everyone welcome.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, December 8th for the Christmas House Tour. Tour 6 Heritage homes from 10 am to 4 pm. Cost is $20 which in-cludes a light lunch at the Museum.

Canada’s Walk of Fame
C anada’s Walk of Fame announced today that Jessie Reyez will
receive its 2018 Allan Slaight Honour. The Honour recognizes young Canadians who are turning their musical talent into inspiration and are having a positive impact on the music industry. Reyez began writing her own music in high school and saw her 2016 single . “Jessie is such a great exam-ple of the spirit of the Allan Slaight Honour,” said Jeffrey Latimer, CEO of Canada’s Walk of Fame. “Her music, work ethic, success and un-limited potential for the future show other young Canadian musicians what is possible!” “I’m really honoured to be recognized. These past few years have been a dream, and to be honest, my team and I have made it a point to continue to work hard and not lose momentum; however, because of this decision, we rarely get moments to reflect and enjoy the blessings that music has provided,” said Jessie. “That being said, I’m very grateful for receiving this recognition, especially at home, and for getting this moment to pause and reflect and be thankful. “Thank you.” “Jessie epitomizes everything that my father Allan had in mind when this award
was created in his honour,” said Gary Slaight. “Rising from humble beginnings here in Toronto, her determination, talent, ambition and bedrock family roots have been the compass that has led her to greater recognition and growing international success. We wish her the very best in the years to come.”
“Jessie is an incredibly unique artist, with an outstanding, worldly voice,” said Randy Lennox, President, Bell Media. “She is in excellent company with previous
honourees and it’s indicative of her limitless talent and dedication to the industry.” Canada’s Walk of Fame recognizes Canadians who have excelled on national and international stages in their respective fields, including music, sports, film and television, literary, visual and performing arts, science, innovation, philanthropy and social justice.
