[" CE ] Tue _ LARGEST CIRCULATION WEEKLY IN BROME-Missisquoi.' à She keeps ancestral home intact, decorated with her crafts Hogle Loyalists live through Iris Guthrie By Sharon McCully PHILIPSBURG \u2014 A page of Loyalist history is being kept alive by an 89-year-old Philipsburg woman.Iris Guthrie is the only known living descendent of the Hogle Loyalists who came to the region in 1781, and she continues to live in the ancesteral home on land cleared by her forefathers two centuries ago.Her great-grandfather John Hogle served during the American Civil War in Jessop\u2019s Corps of the Loyal Rangers and Guthrie has his discharge papers, signed by Commander Jessop, to prove it.When Hogle crossed the border into Canada in 1781, he purchased a large tract of land which spanned both sides of the Canada-U.S.border.\u201cWhen they arrived there was nothing but woods,\u201d Guthrie said.\u201cThey cleared the trees and built a cute little house and barn on the property.\u201d Situated just a few hundred feet from the border, and sheltered by groves of mature trees, the Hogle barn was sometimes used by rum-runners during the prohibition years to stash their stuff.\u201cBootleggers would sneak in and hide their whiskey in the barn then collect it later,\u201d she recalled.TESTAMENT The historic home, rebuilt in 1873 from remnants of the earlier home, remains a testament to Guthrie's ancestory and to her talents as an artisan.An outdoor bread oven and smoke house remain standing and the musket used by her great-grandfather in the Phoenian Raids hangs over the fireplace.\u201cHe fought at Eccles Hill with that rifle,\u201d she noted with the air of a tour guide.On the mantle is a 150-year-old grandfather clock \u2014 from her grandfather\u2019s side of the family \u2014 and a 200-year-old handmade vegetable basket.\u201cThis is the original deed to the house,\u201d she said, pointing to a framed copy of a fragile, yellowed paper with exquisite penmanship.L'entrepot BORDERT OWN Come see us after work! We're open until 6:00 Thursday through Monday with In the cellar, wine has been aging in bottles since the turn of the century.\u201cIt's not very good,\u201d she offered.TAPESTRIES Tapestries and hooked rugs, painstakingly crafted by Guthrie, hang throughout the farmhouse while afghans add an element of warmth to every chair and sofa.\u201cWhen I was growing up, the house was booming with people,\u201d she recalled.\u201cI'd say we had 10 family members and two hired hands living here at one time.\u201d The kitchen was the hub of the activity with three generations of women bustling to cook, pickle and preserve.\u201cGrandmother would spend the day cooking and mother would be busy churning \u2014 we were always busy,\u201d she said.\u201cWe didn\u2019t have to buy anything at the store except maybe flour and sugar.We had all the chickens and maple syrup we needed, we made our own butter and cream, and grew our fruit and vegetables.\u201d Excess farm products were transported by train from St.Armand to Montreal for sale in stores, while cream and butter were sold across the border in Vermont.\u201cYou'd get about 25 cents for a nice quart of whipping cream,\u201d she said.\u201cThere were no customs agents to stop traffic at the border until 1936.We went back and forth all the time without even thinking about it.\u201d CATTLE WALK As a child, Guthrie and her sister were responsible for herding the family\u2019s 30 head of cattle two miles into Vermont every morning, then returning them to their Philipsburg pastures at night.And there was plenty for the teenagers to do on weekends, Guthrie insisted.\u201cWe had a little orchestra and we played fox-trots, waltzes, and square dances at the local hotels.\u201d Guthrie played piano while her brother Allan played saxaphone, clarinet and in a pinch, the washboard.After she married, Guthrie and her husband, a local carpenter, continued (= LECTROMAX Yr YEIDENTEEAT RE Audio / Video / Communications For your eyes and ears SELECTION & PRICES LIKE THE BIG = 2 0%, % CENTERS SERVICE LIKE YOU GET SF FROM YOUR CORNER STORE § \"on all our ay 13 Lakeside, Knowlton 19 PRINCIPALE, SUTTON 538-1343, 243-0487 {previously Teknico) Mat Sat-Sun: 2 Daily: 7 & 8:30 8 \u2018| Pisrce Brosnan as James Band Iris Guthrie with the original deed to her historic home, rebuilt i in 1873.land.I\u2019m part of it.\u2019 to live at home and care for her aging parents.Guthrie dreamed of having her own gift shop with the kind of fine china and beautiful things dreams are made of.\u201cI didn\u2019t have the money to get started so I got 300 turkeys and fed and fattened them up to sell,\u201d she said.\u201cWhen it came time to sell them, I hated to part with them.\u201d Guthrie\u2019s husband built the shop for her on a patch of land across the street given to her by her parents and for A A © ri AE Wall Disney's FINAL VIEEK TOY STORY Steve Martin FATHER OF THE BRIDE 2 Mat.Sat-Sun.2 Daily: 7&9 GOLDEN EYE Daily: 9 PG-13 Starts Friday.Dec.15: Robin Williams - Jumanji tn, Vi mais 104 N.Main SL 32 27 7888 \u201c \u2014 Qualtied appnisal for = lassrance purposes À \u2014 We specllize a custom | a desigeed jewellery {David N.Dawes 3 Goldsmith CJA = EE ET Wednesday, December 6, 1995 more than 25 years she opered the border cafe and gift shop.\u201cOh, my I!

a century ago that cattle are more the keepers of men than the other way around, and that he personally preferred bees.À good point, perhaps, but on the plus side, no doubt there\u2019s more reward for all the time and work than just bucks for meat or milk.Because the farming life isn\u2019t easy doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t be good, sheep- farmer jokes notwithstanding.After laying in the last of the crops, after inevitable repairs to buildings and machinery, after late hopeful improvements to the water supply system that failed in the winter of \u201994, the farmer can step back a pace or so and appreciate the hard-to-evaluate bonuses of fall on the farm.You can\u2019t measure in bales or bushels or board feet the restorative powers of the land late in the year, the rich brew of autumn elements that re-awakens the senses.Clean fresh mornings sharpen the focus on familiar landmarks, leaf- steeped air drifts down from the old sugarbush, a late-day mist creeps over the pond and along the bottom field.With the light of day leaving early, the farmhouse beckons.A pot of pickles cooling steams up the windows in the cluttered porch.Through the inside doorway, the heat from the wood stove is direct and immediate.The fence that didn\u2019t get fixed today will be there tomorrow, and whatever other unfinished business life holds, it too can wait.Besides, it'll be a few months before anyone has to worry much about a fence.Brome briefs KNOWLTON \u2014 The regional health council for the Montérégie has announced changes to its access plan at health and social service

Play raises Christmas spirits KNOWLTON (MC) \u2014 If you're looking for a little Christmas spirit to get you going this holiday season, check out A Christmas Carol at Theatre Lac Brome.The Mandragore production of Dickens\u2019 timeless classic, which plays its final weekend December 8-10, was adapted for the stage by producer- director Patrick Campbell.When Campbell set out to take on Dickens, he said he wanted to do a spoof.But the more he read the story, the more he realised he would be better off sticking to the original storyline.\u201cYou just can\u2019t make fun of Charles Dickens,\u201d Campbell said.\u201cPeople who have seen it so far say that we have kept to the spirit of it.\u201d A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a man who likes nothing else except making money.But late night encounters with the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future turn his life around, giving him a new appreciation of the meaning of Christmas.\u201cWe've had a very good response so far,\u201d said Campbell of the show's opening last weekend.\u201cWe are hoping for more people to come now that word is getting out.\u201d Among the 18-member cast are actors from the Echo Art and Knowlton Players theatre troupes.Richard The- riault, who last perfromed in the Players\u2019 Run For Your Wife and directed Mandragore's Aladdin, stars as Bob Cratchet, an employee of Scrooge who embodies the Christmas spirit.Kate Wisdom, recent star of Echo Art's Pizza Man, takes the stage along with her son James, who plays Tiny Tim.Campbell said the sets for the 22 scenes in the play are abstract, with the lighting going a long way in setting the mood in this production.With so many scene changes it would have been impossible to build and change sets so often, he said.\u201cBut we tried to make it look kind of like a black and white movie,\u201d he said.\u201cThe backdrop is white while most of the costumes are very dark.\u201d A Christmas Carol is currently running at Theatre Lac Brome in Knowlton.Final performances are Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 7 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m.Tickets are $7 adults, $5 children under 11.They can be reserved by calling (614) 266-4246.Bedford M.Miller 248-2487 Mr.Hugh Getty spent a few days at the BMP Hospital in Cowansville and has been transferred to the Hospital at St.Jean where he has undergone

system would continue to provide Canadians with basic income protection, as does the present Ul system.It would also include a range of new employment measures to help people get jobs.Here are some of the proposed changes: INCOME BENEFITS Every hour of work would be insurable EI would calculate the length of time claimants would get benefits based on the number of hours, not weeks, they have worked.This would mean thousands more part-time workers could insure their income.Every dollar earned would count EI would calculate the amount of benefits on every dollar earned over a fixed period of time which will usually be longer than is presently the case.As a result, there will be a stronger incentive to maximize earnings during this period to qualify for a better insurance benefit in the event a claim is made.An \u201cinsurance\u201d program Under EI, the basic benefit rate would remain at 55% of the maximum insurable earnings, which would be set at $750 per week compared to the existing $815.However, the benefits would be reduced by a maximum of five percentage points for repeat claims.Claimants with an annual income of $48,750 or more would have to reimburse a portion of their benefits.Claimants would be allowed to earn up to $50.00 per week, or 25% of their EI benefit, whichever is higher, without reducing their benefits.Family income supplement A family income supplement would be available to those families with children and with annual earnings of less than $26,000.This supplement could represent up to 80% of a claimant\u2019s insured income, as compared to 60% at present.Gradual implementation Some of these changes would be introduced gradually in regions with a high unemployment rate.These regions would also benefit from a jobs fund to help them make the transition.EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Employment Insurance would include the following five proven employment measures to help people get back to work: 1.Wage subsidies: For employers to help hire unemployed workers.2.Earnings supplements: A temporary wage top-up to encourage workers to get into the workforce sooner.3.Self-Employment Assistance: Services to help unemployed people start their own businesses.4.Job Creation Partnerships: Work experience projects through community organizations in collaboration with the provinces.5.Skills, Loans and Grants: Province- approved assistance given directly to unemployed people to pursue skills training.REDUCING OVERLAP AND DUPLICATION The federal government would work in concert with provincial governments to implement £7\u2019s new employment measures.With the provincial governments, it would focus on what works, reducing overlap and duplication.To get a brochure on Canada\u2019s proposed Employment Insurance system call 1 800 276-7655, or
