"Scenes as Residents of St. Vincent and Sydenham Leave New Tank Range," Owen Sound Sun-Times. October 1, 1942. Page 6. --- The northern tips of St. Vincent and Syndenham Townships are today a new Canadian Army tank range. Rolling farm-lands which for years have been devoted to feeding Canadians are now serving another purpose, being used to train men to guard Canadians against the loss of those things they prize more than life itself. All residents of the area have now departed for their new homes. Here are scenes as the evacuation was in full swing. Upper left, Carol Jane McKee, aged 7, and Yvonne McKee, aged 9, 4 sit the steps of the Balaclava school, their books in their arms, as they any well to this school house. They are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Russell McKee and will reside near Allenford. Top centre is a view of a Sydenham group, helping Mrs. Margaret Eagles pack her belongings into a truck for removal to her new home at Owen Sound. From left to right are Jimmie Lemon, Carewood White, Miss Katherine Lemon, M. Donald Lemon, Mrs. Margaret Eagles and Clifford King. Upper right is scene familiar in the district in the past few weeks, a truck-load of hay. Standing on the hood of the truck is Rae Bumstead, while at the left is the owner of the hay, John Cathrae, who is moving to a farm in Keppel Township. Lower left is sbown one of the warning signs erected along the boundaries of the area. The man on the right Josh Gammon of Hawkestone, Ont., who was directing William Briggs and Geedon Hedekinson of Meaford in the work of erecting barriers across the roadway. Lower right is a picture of S.S. No. 12, St. Vincent, closed because it stands four rods inside the tank area, although eleven of the school's fourteen pupils reside outside the area and will now have to go as far as five miles to St. John's school. Standing is the school door in the picture is George Moire, a member of the school board of S.S. No. 12 - Sun-Tunes Staff Photo

I saw a post the other day about how difficult mindfulness meditation can be, especially for people who are neurodivergent, and OP was frustrated that their therapist never recommended anything else. There are many opportunities to bring mindfulness, focus, and intention to activities you already like! Learning about flow state has been a real eye-opener for me.

You know what actually baffles me to no end? The zionist attempt to make you seem antisemitic with questions like "Do you think Jews deserve a national homeland? If not, then think hard about why Jews are the only people who don't." What is that assumption that I believe any other ethnic-religious group would "deserve" a national homeland? What world are these people living in? Like... What other ethnicity/religious group has been given land (by people whose land it wasn't even to give) to make their "national homeland"? Seriously? What other ethnostates are there and who would think that is a moral concept to begin with?

People have always migrated and mingled. Even my country, which is a small and rather homogeneous one on an international scale, consists of many different peoples living together.

Nationalists are weird.

DP x DC Prompt #16

When Hal had asked him which town he protected, Danny was more than happy to tell him, "Amity Park!" When Hal asked Danny where it was, Danny hadn't thought the response, "At this moment? Or where it was last week?" would've caused such chaos in the meeting.

Danny knew not everyone's town traveled across the country, but he didn't think it was odd enough to warrant this kind of reaction.

Genuinely being a single woman in my thirties, living alone, is such a mixed blessing sometimes. I do love my house and when I'm here I literally never want to leave. But on the other hand, I do get tired of leaving to go hang out with people, even though I love seeing them. Especially because I have such a great group of friends but they live all over the place, geographically, and therefore most of them don't know each other. And I actually really love hosting? But I never have people in my house because logistically it's always more practical for me to go to them than vice versa.

But sometimes I buy new old dishes and wanna just have a little fancy wizard party, but all my guests are far away. Please may I have the teleport spell. Or a high-speed commuter rail system.

Just a political difference, they say.

[blorbocedes]

one thing the US is gonna do at the UN Security Council is veto anything resembling human rights 🤪✌️on behalf of the bestieeeeee. like they don't even want the hostages back cause they need more Palestinian blood to be spilled it's honestly so batshit. And this is the US voting on behalf of its closest mid east ally, for whom it constantly flexes its veto power to overturn condemnations and criticism

kwame ture put it best ^

"Evacuated Farmers Allowed To Return To Pick Apple Crop," Owen Sound Sun-Times. October 2, 1942. Page 2. ---- May Enter Military Area at Certain Specified Dates ---- GO BY 9TH LINE ---- Former residents of the St. Vincent and Sydenham tank range have been given permission to remove the fruit from the farms formerly owned by them. Announcement to that effect was made on Thursday night by Brigadier E. C. Spencer, Camp Commandant at Camp Borden. Special permission has been received from the Department of National Defence in order that the former owners will not lose weir fruit. Brigadier Spencer pointed out that when the Department purchased these properties it included all the fruit in the area, and it is only because of a concession on their part that they are now being permitted to go into the area and take it out. It was officially announced that firing would cease on the range at midnight on Thursday nights for a three week period, and will not be resumed until midnight on Sunday night. The open dates on which the farmers will be allowed to get their fruit are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 2, 3 and 4: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 9. 10 and 11, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 16, 17 and 18 It is to be clearly understood that only fruit will be permitted to be removed from the premises. All entry to the area will be made on the 9th line of St. Vincent, where there will be a military guard, and those gathering the fruit will sign in and out at the south boundary of the 9th line. On no condition should any former resident endeaver to enter the area at any other point than the 9th line gate.

The military authorities feel that this should be a sufficient length of time to permit of the gathering of all the fruit in the area. Brigadier Spencer also pointed out that it was never intended that there should be any waste of the fruit in the area, as had not this permission been granted soldiers under the order of the Transport and Supply Department would have been sent in to pick the fruit. which would have been taken to Camp Borden and used by the soldiers.

S-P-I-R-I-T ! spirit, let’s hear it!

Something I really don't understand is this obsession the anti-Israel crowd (in the West) have with death and martyrdom. All they care about is dying, and often killing for their cause; I see nothing about building a better future that isn't based on the murder of 9 million Israelis.

It's easy to die for a cause. The challenge is living to make a better tomorrow.
