Guest speaker at the opening will be the Deputy Minister and

e Director of Education, Malcolm

ed to the prestige in that he was premier of the province for a considerable number of years. |

There are other families with long connections with the dis- trict. _The Farquharson _ family had its origin in Banffshire. Scotland. William Farquharson came to Bunbury in 1810. The or- iginal land is now farmed by his descendants, Russell and his

still on the original land. The} Hamm family came out from | England about the same time | as the Bovyers from their home |

There are two rooms, on a low- | er level, which, when the need | arises, can be completed and j| accomodation raised to 140. The old school had about a capacity | of 30 students.

The school is designed in such a way that it could provide for expansion with the construction of an addition with a minimum amount of trouble in plumbing, | heating and electrical require- ments.

ORIGINAL GRANT

The history of the Bunbury) School District. dates back to) | Feb. 14, 1882. It was then that the original boundaries. were regis-| tered with the Department Education. The land for the site, of the old school was donated by | William Mason, grandfather of George Mason presently residing on the ancestral property. It is understood that each succeeding | generation donated additional) land when the need arose. Today | young Allan Mason is the fifth! generation to be attending school there.

The Mason family’s P.E.I. his- tory began when William Mason emigrated from Birdforth, York-| shire in the latter part of the eighteenth century. The descend- jants of William Mason, George | and his son Herbert, are at pre-| sent farming the original land, | six generations having lived there.

PREMIER JONES

Descendants of the reverened; gentleman are still living on the ancestral property. William Bov- "yer and Bovyer ‘BB) Jones are at the present time farming a part of the original land. The father of B.B. Jones, the late Senator J. Walter Jones, had| made a great contribution to the} district in the development of his internationally famous, herd of Holsteins, and also contribut-

of | by Kelley and Bovyer.

in Tor Point in Cornwall.

EARLIER PROJECTS }

Bunbury, at one time was not! without its enterprises.._In 1840 a Marine Hospital was built near

ithe shore at Kelley's Cove: but

it was. destroyed by fire before it was occupied. | In 1880 a saw mill was in

operation on the Bovyer pro-| perty, operated by John Baker. | On the Kelley property a brick- | yard was in operation. Ship | building was carfied on at Full- erton’s March between 1809 and 1834. There were, at least, seven large shjs built there. The larg- est of these was the one owned It was’! 158 tons and named “The Bun- bury’’. The ‘captain of ‘“‘The Bun- bury” was James Kelley and the first mate, John Bovyer,! and the crew were all residents of Bunbury. i

FIRST PASTEURIZING In the early Mth century a milk pasteurizing plant was est- ablished at Hopeton, the Mutch Farm. This is believed the first such plant in the province. The enterprising spirit of the pioneers of this district—seems to be still alive. This is borne, out in\the fact that they have established, in the district, a com- | munity Planning Committee, in| order that the efforts of all the residents may be co-ordin- ated in developing a modern and enterprising community. | Following the new school open- ing Thursday night the Women’s Institute of the district under President, Mrs. John Farquhar- son, will serve refreshments.
