MacDonald 1972 All Rights Reserved A CKNO WLED GEMENT The author is indebted to the many sources that made the publication of this volume possible. Thanks to the longevity of a large number of families whose ancestors pioneered the County of Antigonish and their desire to preserve much of its early history, it has been possible to research personally much that had not reached print. To such the author is grateful. Then there are the local historians who have made records of the develop­ ment of Antigonish, the people who dwelt within its boundaries and the in­ stitutions they enriched, a labor of love. The author particularly acknowledges: History of Antigonish by D. G. Whidden A History of Antigonish County by Dr. J. W. MacDonald History of Antigonish Diocese by Rev. A. A. Johnson Hierlihy and his Times by C. J. McGillivray THE ANTIGONISH CASKET which for a period of three years carried a weekly column on Memory Lane Finally the author is compelled to express his sincere gratitude to CASK­ ET readers who urged the publication of our gems of memory, not least of whom is Rev. J. A. Ross of Detroit, a former resident of Antigonish, who made this volume a reality. To Tess, my wife, who for more than two score years has travelled with me down Memory Lane in Antigonish County I dedicate this volume '•'-"•''.';:• "•A'^9|JT '&• P;-1P TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION 8 1.

NATIVE HUMOR 130 (See Index,p. 136) ANTIGONISH I found a town where children play And church bells ring to greet the day, Where I can smell the August hay It's here I thought that I would stay. I wanted so to hear the streams Writing the score for idle dreams. To be where people did not run And stopped to pray when day was done. A town of youngsters, trim and strong, Of little children, bells and song, I told myself should this I find, I would know peace of heart and mind. All this I found and even more So I shall not wander evermore But stay until my life doth end, Counting each and every friend. And I shall live the fullest life Serenely labor, freed from strife, Drinking deep of time and space And seeking not another place. Walking fields both green and brown Climbing up and climbing down. Meeting creatures face to face That do not live in every place. For I shall know the timid deer, The wily trout, the awesome bear. I will find my own retreat Where my town and the forest meet. The nearby sea will roam and foam Calling to me that I am home, And I will laze along the sand Skipping stones with weathered hand. Life will end in the quiet night And all will stop, for death is right. When that time comes, I ask of thee The bells to ring, just for me. Then take me to the hillside high Where so many good folk lie. Cease not to sing, because I go . I lie in peace, my town below. J. H.

The freelance writing which had been a hobby of mine in leisure moments for some years previ­ ously and had produced "These Changing Times", "Recol­ lections" and "Memory Lane", suggested that a weekly column in our local newspaper would strike a responsive chord. Shortly after the final installment of the last series was published the author was urged by readers on the home front and kinsfolk abroad to compile a volume of the pieces from which, in the words oi one, "dreams are made" and revived. To this end I have selected from a total of 110,000 words in the column installments some sixty historic and nostalgic topics to produce a volume of twelve chapters of 36,000 words, woven around a rural community and its shiretown. While the reader is guided down memory lane of Antigonish, Nova Scotia and the county of which it is the shiretown, the landmarks, the unassuming men and women of the community — their idiosyncrasies and their superstitions, their culture and racial characteristics are no different than the homesick individual of Saska­ toon, Detroit or Kapuskasing in Ontario. It is the same longing of the spirit, the same hunger for home prompted sometimes by the chance remark of a stranger overheard on a tram car, or the facial resemblance of a pedestrian on a city street, or the voice on the radio singing a favorite song or lament such as one which touches the heart of every Scot — the predominant ancestry of the majority of those who made Antigonish their home away-from- home: "I mourn for the Highlands, so bleak and forsaken, The land of our fathers, the gallant and brave. To make room for the sportsman, their lands were all taken, And they had to seek out new homes o'er the waves." Memory Lane is just such a chronicle of the emo­ tions experienced by the elders of the Antigonish com­ munity who chose to remain near the scenes of their youth and by those less fortunate ones who found it necessary for economic or professional reasons to wander abroad but are compelled from time to time to cast a glimpse at the nostalgic past, recalling Main Street and its landmarks, the countryside with its homely comforts and the hospitality and the unpretentious culture which entible them to preserve the annals of their historic strug­ gle for survival together with their native legends and folklore without professing belief in either of them. To better understand Antigonish, and indeed any county of Nova Scotia one naturally places no small importance to the names attached to them. Some com­ munities are named by governmental agencies, others for no particular reason or by jesters. Sometimes a dialect peculiar to an area gives rise to placenames which when spoken convey quite a different meaning from that which they were intended to convey. Few natives of Antigonish really bother to learn the significance of the descriptive terms used, only to dis­ cover too late that a colloquial expression had 'stuck' and thus was embarrassing, as in the instance of the sometime recurring use of 'beach' and 'beech'.

This may be done in partnership with other agencies and through agreements with non-government organizations. In 1998, 31 areas were designated under the Wilderness Areas Protection Act (1998, c.27, amended 2005, c.56, s.18) (the Act). Two additional areas, Gully Lake and Eigg Mountain-James River WAs, were designated in 2005. In total, the 33 WAs protect approximately 295,400 hectares (ha), which represents approximately 5.3% of the land area of Nova Scotia. When all categories of legally protected land are considered, approximately 8.2% of Nova Scotia is protected. The Environmental Goals and Sustainability Act (2007, c.7) focuses on the health of the environment, economy, and people of Nova Scotia. The legislation’s major objective is for Nova Scotia to have one of the cleanest, most sustainable environments while achieving economic prosperity equal to or greater than the national average (Government of Nova Scotia 2008).

    Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html About these Study Guides I created these study guides to help my students prepare for literature classes. They are meant to serve several functions. 1) Some of them provide background to help readers understand what they are reading and why they are reading it (the historical status of the works). 2) They provide useful information, explaining allusions, obscure terms, etc. in the texts and provide translations of passages written in languages other than English. 3) They try to focus students' attention on issues that we will discuss in class. Rationale One of the most common student complaints in literature classes is that they can't figure out what the teacher expects them to get out of the assignments. Homework turns into a massive guessing game, failing which, students wait for the teacher to clarify things in class. This makes for sluggish or nonexistent discussions. Students using these guides can read with more purpose. They know what issues I am going to want to them to deal with in class and can prepare much better. I require my students to prepare written answers to the questions in these guides and come to class prepared to answer any one of them. At the beginning of class I collect the notes along with the quizzes. Not every question must be answered in the notes but they must show a diligent effort at preparation. Since I began using these guides, few students come to class without having both read and thought about the assignment, and discussions have improved enormously.
