  • On Pilgrimage - March 1968
    On Pilgrimage - March 1968 Dorothy Day The Catholic Worker, March 1968, 1, 2, 8. Summary: Revels in the beauty and worship of newly composed liturgical music. Gives details of her visit to the Taena community in England and eulogizes Fr. H. A. Reinhold for his labor activities. Mentions a new edition of Ammon Hennacy’s autobiography, praises his activism and nonviolent stance but rejects his criticism of Scripture. (DDLW #863). It is the third Sunday in Lent as I write, and I have just come from a glorious celebration, the eleven o’clock Mass at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, St. Nicholas Avenue and West 118th Street. St. Nicholas Avenue is just one block west of Seventh Avenue in New York. It was a special Lenten Mass composed by Mary Lou Williams and is being sung every Sunday during Lent by the entire congregation, led by the young people’s singing group, with Mr. Ed Bonnemere directing. One came away feeling as though one had truly celebrated Mass, offering worship, adoration, glory to God, not to speak of penitence. The prayers sung and recited are very much to the point. At the Kyrie Eleison the choir sings, “For my lack of hope,” and the congregation answers, “Lord have mercy.” And the petitions are repeated, “For my lack of faith, for our failure to care, for letting ourselves by paralyzed with fear, for our divisions, for our jealousies, for our hatred, for not being peacemakers, for our lies–Lord have mercy on my soul.” There is a climax of beauty at the singing of the choir, after the Sanctus–“Dying, you destroyed our death; Rising you restore our life.

The first contact is a personal one with Ammon Hennacy and Bruce Utah Phillips, two figures of the small world of Salt Lake City anarchism of the 1960s (way out West of the Rockies). The second contact is with an idealized conception of Amazonians as exemplars of a kind of anarchist sociality imagined as a retrievable model (way out in the interior of Brazil/South America). The third contact is with a strand of rationalist-naturalist thought closely associated with Chomsky, and its exclu- sion from anthropology (way out in the EthnoWest).

  • Samuel Pedlar Manuscript
    Samuel Pedlar Manuscript Transcribed from a microfilm of the original By Sharon Stark & Margaret Egerer July/August 1970 Samuel Pedlar Manuscript This small collection consists of material collected and compiled by Samuel Pedlar (brother of the founder of Pedlar People, a prominent Oshawa industrial establishment). It covers the period 1790-1904, and includes: notebooks; a map of Lake Simcoe watershed; photocopies of clippings; a typescript copy of an 1878 census of Oshawa; a copy of the Oshawa Vindicator, 1894, containing industrial history; and manuscript and typescripts copies of "From Cornwall to Canada, 1841", being facts collection by Sam Pedlar and rewritten by Charles H. Wethy (Toronto), regarding the Cornish immigration to Canada. The material was purchased from Samuel Pedlar (Oshawa) in May, 1904 and May, 1905, and borrowed from Mrs. Oscar Mills (Oshawa) in April, 1963. Dec. 10, 1969 R. Nickerson la FRAME 1 Clinton, November 21, 1894 S. Pedlar, Esq. Toronto Dear Sir: Your letter of the 9th inst relative to the name of Oshawa was duly received. I have been studying the question at this time suggested in Mr. Bateman's letter but find various difficulties. An interpretation not mentioned by him, but offered by good authority makes the word mean FRAME 2 "ferry him over." The word in Indian (i.e. Ojibway) would bear that interpretation: but how about the local application? I know little of Oshawa except what I learn from the directories. There mentions Warren Creek as a stream flowing through the town. Would this creek before it was bridged have required a ferry? And do you happen to know if there was once a ferry at Oshawa? Next, then an Indian village at or near the site of the present town? If you can give the information on these points I may be better able to find a satisfactory answer to your inquiries which I shall be happy to do.
