KiNLOSS TOWNSHIP The surface of Kinloss town- ship is rough in places, a ridge of hill's known locally as the Kinloss mountains running through the Central portion, and throwing out spurs in various directions. That part of the township through-which the Durham road runs was first located. The post village of Kinloss' was settled as early as 1.850 - 51. This little village by the year 1880 was thriv ing and was known as "Black \ Horse", Kinloss being the name of the post office. The central and southern por- tions of the township were settled in 1853.. Some early arrivals were , .William David and James Henderson, William Bryce, the Falconer brothers, the McManus brothers and Peter Reid. In 1855 Boyer Paul was first Reeve , later Rebell Purvis served as Reeve of Kinloss township for many years ind became a Bruce County Warden. The first white child born in the •township was*a little girl who later becatne Mrs. Thomas Stanley. WHITECHURCH - HOLYROOD LANGSIDE' were all early post vil- lages in Kinloss township. LUCKNOW - Lucknow's first set- tler was Eli Stauffer who obtained 200. acres of land from the Govern- Ment on condition that he build a mill.' 'He was unable to do so and the land came into the possession `of James Somerville , who in 1862 surveyed it into village lots and sold it. M.r. Somerville named the village Lycknow. at this time after the besieged city in / India and the streets were named . for the British Generals who serv- ed during that war. In 1862 the Lake road was opened running through Lucknow from the Count-, ies of Huron and Bruce,to Listowel and in 1865 the Bruce gravel road was completed from Qoderich .through Lucknow to Walkerton and Kincardine. A severe fire struck the village TOWNSHIP OF HURON The township of Huron is situat- ed' in the south-west corner Of the County. It is described in the atlas of 1880 as a comparatively level tableland , at an altitude of 1000 feet , above the ocean. The 'township is watered by numerous small streams running westerly into Lake Huron. The 2 largest of these is Pine River. The first settlement was made in September 1849 by three highland scottish men, Finlay McLennan, Alex McRae and Malcolm McRae'. They occupied some ,eight.or ten lots on the north Side of the County line. The first approach to a village was at the mouth of Pine River by which name the village was also Called, because of .a scattering of pine trees that grew along the shore by the river's mouth. The first post office in the township, was establiShed here. Mr.. Keyes , who was later drowned in the up- Setting of a boat was' the first to loCate here. He and a number of other settlers were what was known as squatters, the survey haVing not yet been made. John Hunter was the first Reeve of the township and , was connected 'with the business affairs of his township for many years. Captain Gamble was also an early corner and he built. a Mill, while his brother J. W. Garnble had a store. David Wal-- den kept a tavern. Other, early 'arrivals were Blair , Donnely, , Wannamakerand Henry. With. Mr. Hunter as Reeve in 1854,, the councillors were Wm. Wilson, Samuel Wright , Robett Huston , Wm. Blair and J. W. Gamble as clerk. RIPLEY Paul D. McInnis , then post master and Malcolm McLennan, ex-reeve purchased property near _the centre of the township and were instrumental in having the W. G. B. railway station located' there , thus a 'village was formed. The post office in 1876 was known as Dingwell and was established in 1871. Some of the business places in . Ripley were 'Archibald McDonald- general store, S. Lammont - • grocer; John McKay, John McKen• zie and James Truax - merchants; Wm. McMurchy - distiller; David Smith and W. D.' Truax hotel keepers.

Too bid, because his natural expression is appealing. He is a handsome lad with dark hair and dancing: brown eyes. He is Anglo-Saxon in descent, sturdily built and in good health, with a clear, rosy complexion. ROSS is a happy, active, outgoing boy, doing average work in Grade Three. He tends to be easily frustrated so he needs parents who can be understanding and patient. Outdoor activities and sports appeal to Ross. He loves camp- ing, hockey, baseball, soccer and football, and when he chooses a television program it is probably 'a sports show. Ross is especially interested in horses and is taking riding lessons. 'He belongs to Cubs. The ideal parents for Ross will be in the 30 to 40 age range — energetic and interested in the kind of outdoor activities that he likes. The father especially should be much involved in"sharing experiences with him. If there are children in the family they , shoult not be closer than three to four yeirs to. Ross's age, to avoid him having a close rival for the parents' affection. To inquire about adopting Ross, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station' K, Toronto IMP 2112.
