The event recalled the first family picnic held near Grand Bend, in 1911. The following was scanned from an early account of this event by the Expositor's Hen - sail correspondent, Mrs. Maude Hedden. Probably one of the happiest groups that 'have met on the camping grounds of Grand Bend this season, was that of the two families of the Love's which, according to arrange- ments, gathered on Tuesday of ,last week, August 2nd, 1911, when about 75 in number, old and young, gathered around one table. This is the first time that anything of this kind has been undertaken by these families. The predecessors' of these were two first cousins, named Hugh Love, who imigrated from Scotland about the year 1843, be- ing 12 and 13 years old respec- tively, and being distinguished by the title of "Big. Hugh" and "Little Hugh", the former be- ing born in Edinburgh in 1828, and the latter in Beith, in 1830. They first settled in the town- ship of Blenheim, in the county of Oxford, where they remained for some time, afterwards mov- ing to what was then known as the Huron Tract, settling on the town line, between Hay and Stanely, near Hillsgreen; Hugh, Sr., choosing the farm in Hay now occupied by his son, Ro- bert. He was married to Joanna, Young, a native of Roxborough, Scotland, at Paris, in 1852. Children. Star In Broadcast The children's radio program from Wingham on Saturday was presented by boys and girls from Hensall and district, pupils of Miss Greta Lammie, Follow- ing is the program as present- ed: "School Days,"; piano trio, "Circus Days," Linda Jane, Dor- othy and Danny Kipfer; piano solo, "Valse," Deanna Forrest; song, "You'll Never Walk Alone," Brian Smillie; piano solo, "All Through the Night," Michael Davis; piano solo, "Jol- ly Roger," Cheryl Little; violin solo, Beethoven's Minuet in G, Bob McNaughton; piano solo, "Consolation," Marion Porter; recitation, "Pussy's Lesson," Larry Wright; piano duet, "Lit- tle Ruby," Janice Wright and Ruthanne Coleman; piano solo, Musette by Bach, Ruth Cud - more; piano solo, Gavotte in G Minor by Bach, Lynn Faber; song, "This Is My Father's World," Nancy Forrest and Mary Mock; piano solo, "Hop- ping," Donna Whitehouse; vio- lin solo, "Bluebells of Scotland," Brian Smillie; piano solo, "Rob- in's Return," Jim Traquair. Transportation to Wingham was kindly provided by Mrs. Cornelius Faber, Mrs. Ross Ver. rest Mre, Cecil Kipfer and Mr. Elgin 'Porter, of 1911 There were ten children by this union, eight of whom are still living, six with their fam- ilies, were present at this pic- nic. He was closely connected with township affairs being a mem- ber of the municipal council for some time and was among the first to import Clydesdale horses from the Old Country. On ac- count of ill health he returned to Scotland and died in 1884 and was buried in his native land. His partner in life survived him by 20 years, finishing this life in the autumn of 1904 and was laid to rest in the family plot in Baird's cemetery, Bruce - field. Hugh, Jr., chose the farm in Stanley, now owned by William Love. He was married at Rod- gerville, in 1860 to Christy For- rest, a native of Scotland, by Rev, John Logie. There were 12 children by this union, 11 of whom are still living, and seven with their families attended the gathering. He moved to Stephen in 1844 and settled on lot 12, con. 20, now occupied by Thomas Love and departed from this life in 1900. His wife lived ten years longer, being called to her eternal reward in October of 1910 and now they lay side by side in Grand Bend cemetery. The day was all that could be desired. The morning opened up Hillsgreen and Kippen a pleas- ant drive, arriving at Mr. Bert Holt's park between ten and 11 o'clock. Here th4y weremetby the Stephen friends and :after the usual handshaking and a good deal of inquiry as to what family a certain girl or boy be- longed, the work of satisfying the inner man was taken up and carried out successfully for ye auld ladies ken how much easier it is to get up and prepare the breakfast when soineone else has been up a little while before and has the fire on. and the ket- tle boiling, etc. Well, Bert, in his customary good humor did all this, and the ladies served chicken, hot and cold, and still more chicken, and the way the boys and girls, even the older ones, too, ate and drank tea, lemonade and lake water.

How Did Express Companies Start The object of organizing an express service was to. provide a safer and quicker delivery of goods than could be given ordin- ary rdinary freight transportation. This began in a simple way by send- ing parcels on stagecoaches, or in the care of captains of steam- ers or by passengers on rail - Ways: Railways then undertook the service until it grew to such: proportions •r that corporations were formed to handle it. The Canadian Express Company was incorporated in 1865 and thus was the pioneer express com- pany in Canada. In 1891 the G'rand Trunk Railway purchas- ed its capital stock, and after 1921 it became a part of Cana- dian National Express.

Orr, of Hensall) Under a spreading elm tree, So stately and so tall, The purpose of this country Was moulded first of all. Our fathers came from other lands And brought with them that fear Of God and home they loved so well, And held in memory dear. From England and the Isle of Sky, And from the Emerald' Isle, They camethat long and weary way, And all their hopes were high. Their hearts' retained that in- stinctive trust In God's complete design, To build an empire, we must Hew to that sacred line Then first of all the home was built Of logs so straight and true, And every man of that neighbor- hood Was asked to chop or hew. Then after the home, the school was built, Quite near that elm tree; The faithful teacher then began To teach the rule of three. Then to fulfill a greater need, That need of Grace and..Truth, A church was formed in that old school, To teach and train the youth. No low -bred thoughts were e'er expressed By those who led the way, For they had hitched their vi- sion to a star, A star that shines each day. The leaves have fallen from that tree For a hundred years or more, And yet the old tree stands the storms, As the pioneers did of yore. W. C. OKE Insurance - Real Estate Egmondvi I lei Ont. P.O.

On pasture alone, a cow can produce only 30 pounds of milk per day because of her limited capacity to consume a sufficient quantity of grass. Additional energy is re- quired to maintain body weight and to attain maximum milk pro- duction. The new CO-OP Pasture Ration provides this all-important extra -energy that is required to supplement spring and summer pastures. Feed CO.OP Pasture Ration and you will get more from your pasture . . , more from your herd. IMPORTANCE OF FEEDING C0 -OP MINERAL IN SUMMER Mineral consumed by cattle is utilized three times more efficiently In the summer than is that consumed in winter. Much of the mineral required for winter milk production must come from the cow's system. Consequently, mineral build-up in the animal's body must occur while she is on pasture. For a healthy, profit-making herd, feed Co-op Cattle Mineral, free- choipe, throughout the entire year.
