Goderich is- "unmindful of its
founder" said D. G. N. MacFar-
lane, in .The: Telegram on. Satur
day, The statement appeared• in his
review ;of the. book, William
"Tiger" 'Dunlop.
About one-quarter df his, column
long review seemed rather unusual
in that -it•'was devotedto deplor=
ing the fact, that Dunlop's, cairn
being ignored by Goderich.: The
usual: 'proceduce is to review the
book's contents, 4
However, we must admit there is
some truth .in:' Dr. 14'aerarlane's..
statements even though he.has;fail-
ed to. place alae blame where it
properly belongs
•
'Said. Dr...! MacFarlane; "Ori a
steep ridge overlooking the Mait
land River ,and the town of Gode-
rich .is a cairn. of sorts to the
of brothers :William•'"and
RobertnDunlop and - the latterrs
wife, Louisa. Aecess to This: toriib'

the 'noble :house like -the Dunlops;
has been allowed to "slip gradually
`Far rbelow'in modern splendor`

unmindful, , its , founder•. and

lop, Perhaps 'the' folk down there
-
are secretly :'.unhappy, `With their_
"wheel"_and choose deliberately to,
ignore :the architect. •(Rumor -.hag•
it .that: Galt was` to have had "the
wheel that 'Goderich somehow
got •it,• by mistake),"
that as. it may, ;;TigerDun..
sop• -with vision; -and determination
gave this town to'Canada dand sadT
it is •that:, such' a'. ene,is-nof-without
honor save in: his own country and
amongst his own people
"Be. it,"forever known that'1 il-
lam .Dunlop was. a great -hero.
Possese'd of an immense vigor of
mind,and body,=he was -:a veritable -
'behemoth of a -man; towering -over-
-the -early .Canadian is ne like' a'
colossus •He was a . magnification
of the essential qualities ' of `'the
early' settler.- Rugged and' honest,'
he was: endowed as well with the

The= Signal -Star, . Only ;. a. , few
weeks ago, expressed the hope in
-these-columns -that Huron• Count
Council would eventually take steps
to glamorize the area about Dun-
lop's—tomb-=when she; • re-routed
highway' is - built in 1960: The re-
sponsibilityto` do this; .lies...with
Huron • County Council: --, and:.:not
with Goderich, as has (been' sug'
gested by Dr: MkcFarlane, IA.ppar-
ently he, is ..unaware of the. fact
that, the' land• on whichthe Dunlop
cairn is'located was purchased by
Huron County some 18 years ago,

Preasumablrbuilt sogn after -Dun-
lop's" t eatliain. 18A8, -4 -the cairn:.na-
,turally. would deteriorate since that
time: However, as 'late as about
five years ago .Herb Neill, • Huron
County; Museum•• curator•, 'did re-
novation work aroundit on the
request of the- county' Council.'
Sunken. stones were raised, the let
termg on the cairn made more
:legible and an approach made up
a. steep•:hiii t� the cairn. Other
work has :been' done on, it in by>,
gone=years.
