leseeniients Meet of Brudeneli Pioneers

An interesting meeting took ilace recently at the home of Mr. ind Mrs. Russel G. McLaren New Perth when about thirty descend- mts of the McLaren and Gordon pioneers assembled to talk over future plans with regard to Bru- :lenell Island.

The early settlers landed on the small island in the Brudenell River-about three miles from Georgetown-in July 1806 after having made the voyage from Scotland in a sailing vessel. With perseverance and determination they managed to provide homes for iihemselves and here they erected their first small church with a cemetery nearby.

In 1903 a large number of their descendants came from many parts of the Province and else- where to join in the centenary celebration and witness the un-

veiling of a large monument erect- sal

ed on tihe site of the first church. The active committee at that time consisted of Walter Gordon, Na- thaniel MicLaren, James Gordon. Amos Robertson, Fred Moar. wil- liam MacDonald and Russel Mc- Lareri.

The years have taken their toll. and at present the only surviving member of that oommitte is Rus- sel G. MeLiu-en, of New Perth. As i956 will mark another half cen- tury it was decided that a new

formulate plans for a suitable cglebration to be held next sum- mer. A nominating committee con- sisting of Douglas Gordon. Henry McLsren and Louis Wright were asked to retire and present names of five to be appointed on active comiinitte. The following names were submitted: '

R. G. McLa.ren. Honorary Pre- sident. Douglas Mcnaren. Mont- ague; Ralph Gordon, Roseneath; Edwin F. Gordon, Roseneath; Al- den Mi:Laren, Brudenell: Mrs. Mrs. Howard vickerson, Montague. Raymond Poole. Lower Montague; as secretary.

This list was accepted as read and the committee given power to add to their number as required. It was also rmoived that should any member of the committee be removed by death or otherwise. another person be added in order to keep the committee at full strength. All present were asked to furnish the committee with names and addremes of members of their families living elsewhere so that they may be contacted during the winter and notified of the propo-

No further business was 'tran- sacted.but a pleasant hour was spent listening to R. G. McLaren relate some of the early history of the pioneers. A delicious lunch was served by Mr. McLaren's daught- ere-Mrs. Doane and Mrs. Poole- and the singing of Auld Lang Syne brought a most enjoyable evening to a close.

LUTHERAN STATE Ninety-six per cent of the popu-

committee should be appointed to

lation of Finland are Lutherans.
