We were thrilled with the attendance. Thank you for your commitment to both your children and our school. On Track to Excellence TRACK Our students are working on getting and staying on TRACK this school year.

Byer Fire Safety in Grade One On Friday, September 27, the Grade One class received a special visitor from the CKL Fire Department to speak about Fire Prevention and Safety. The classroom discussion covered such topics as: smoke alarms in the home, the importance of testing alarms, identifying firefighters as someone who is there to help, the importance of a Home Escape Plan, calling 911 and Stop, Drop, Roll. Following the discussion students toured the fire truck in the parking lot. P. Barrow Lindsay Exhibition For another year, students from F.T.P.S. submitted some terrific entries in the grade-specific classes for 2013's LEX. There were various winners and some unique creativity was displayed by many of these avid participants. The Grade 2/3 and Grade 2 classes thoroughly enjoyed the Agricultural Guided tours last Thursday. Thank you to the many parent volunteers who assisted us with the excursion as well as to the many parents who took their child's entries to be judged.

In the assembly I saw a picture of me and Chloe. - Jade Peterkin At the Terry Fox run yesterday I ran and when I came back I got an orange. After we went to the assembly. - Ryann Parson I ran for Terry Fox. I ran 3 miles yesterday. I wonder if you could run 3 miles? I did. - Shelby Waterbury Yesterday we did the Terry Fox run. I learned that we're helping Terry because he tried to run but had to stop. He had an amputated leg. - Delaney Varty I ran to Mrs. Dunn. Sometimes I stopped. I didn't have a drink. I liked when I got an orange after the Terry Fox. I went with Cutter for a couple minutes. - Isaac Redman I had fun at the Terry Fox. The assembly was fun. - Sawyer Mann All math students in grades 7 to 10 will have access to live interactive online math help as part of the e-Learning Strategy funded by the Ministry of Education.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE This history has been appearing serially through the Lindsaj "Watchman-Warder" for the past eleven months and is now issued in book form for the first time. The occasion for its preparation is, of course, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of Victoria county. Its chief purposes are four in number: — (1) to place on record the local details of pioneer life that are fast passing into oblivion; (2) to instruct the present generation of school-children in the ori- gins and development of the social system in which they live; (3) to show that the form which our county's development has taken has been largely determined by physiographical, racial, social, and economic forces; and (4) to demonstrate how we may, after a scien- tific study of these forces, plan for the evolution of a higher eco- nomic and social order. The difficulties of the work have been prodigious. A Victoria County Historical Society, formed twenty years ago for a similar purpose, found the field so sterile that it disbanded, leaving no re- cords behind. Under such circumstances, I have had to dig deep.

Several small villages like Martintown in Glen- garry County are considerably over one hundred years old but most of the incorporated villages are of more recent date. Some early and thriving villages like Port Hoover on Lake Scugog in Victoria County have disappeared completely and many others fondly hoping for growth and prosperity have, due to location, the advent of railroads that passed them by, or other causes, failed to attain their ambition. Villages have become incorporated, grown into towns and these towns into cities but in most of these cases growth has been rapid and continuous and many still expand and add to their population year bv vear.
