The regular volunteers and' musicians from Goderich
were unable to attend Monday's program as a result of
the severe ice storm. The old tyme music and dancing
period was replaced by a sing-a-long.
After,.two months absence the birthday party was once
again on the agenda of events. Those who celebrated
their birthdays in either February or March were hon-
oured at the festivities. A combined group of Clinton and
Blyth Women's Institutes provided the entertainment to
a capacity crowd of both -residents and visitors.
Mrs. W. Colclough was in charge of the program
which had a definite Irish mood. A sing song got things
rolling followed by a few Irish solos by Mrs. C. Wittich,
Blyth who was accompanied by Mrs. E. Brown. A quartet
composed of Mrs. A. Groves, Mrs. C. Nelson, Mrs.
M. Batkin and Mrs. M. Gibbings sang a variety of songs
which kept the audience very attentive. George Wilson
played his Jews Harp, an, uncommon instrument and was
well rewarded for his efforts with applause, Mrs. Col-
clough got 'right into the swing of things by cal,ling a
square dance for four couples decked out in their green
and white St. Patrick's Day clothes. The couples were
Mrs. Trick and Mrs. Tyndall, Mrs.. Grigg and- Mrs.
Fisher, Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Wiltse
and her daughter Mrs. Elliott. Pianist for the square
dance •was Mrs. Radfort. When the clapping subsided
the quartet of ladies returned to entertain.
Mrs. Cunningham stewed down the pace with an en-
joyable piano solo, Mrs. Nevins.was was next to display her
talent namely playing the mouth organ. The next port-,
ion of the program was a little different but very special
for the residents. Eight young girls, . ballet students of
Mrs. Zablocki to entertain and were appreciated im-
mensely. Judi Wise, Rolina Boyce, Sharon Harper, Caro-
lyn Bern and Mary Helen Clynick performed a ballet
"At Last Spring" while Peggy Jones, Mitzi Ray a
Deana Harper did a polish Folk Dance.
The ladies, then presented the 42 residents celebrat-
ing birthdays with a 'present, and needless to say just
added to an already delightful day. Following a cup of
tea, Miss Agnes Lawson, who celebrated her 96th birth-
day expressed her thanks and that of the residents for
a show, well done.
There ' were only two groups of people at the special'
Irish program of Family Night, those that are Irish and
those that wished they were. The program was arranged
and direCted by Mrs. Orville Storey of Seaforth and the"
numbers were introduced by John Henderson.
The Henderson Trio, Donna, Darlene and Debbie sang,
several. Irish songs and the very popular Irish singer
Clarke Johnson of Wingham thrilled the audience -with
their favourites and included some Irish jokes. The dance
numbers included Sharri Storey—Irish jigs, Verne Sawyer--
step dancing, junior square dancers were twin sisters
Donna and 'Doris Lawson, sisters Debbie and Darlene
Taylor, Leslie Lawson, David Townsend, Roy Brown,
Verne Sawyer. Accompanists were Mrs.. Henderson, piano
and Nelson Howe, violin, A vote of appreciation' was ex-
tended to the group on behalf of the residents by Mrs.
Leybourne.

of Mr. Govenlocie,s, 4193. The
UFO candidate received 2039.So
the Liberal candidate won the
seat, but held it only, until the
next election, when Centre Huron
chose Ebon R. VV1gle , Goderich
druggist, as one of Hon. Howard
Ferguson's 75 Gonservatives.
A fete weeks after the 1919
election, Mr. Proudfoot was ap-
,Tointed to the Senate of Canada.
The appointment was made by
Sir Robert Borden, head of the
Union Government.
To a friend in Goderich, Hon.
Mr. Proudfoot wrote: "Little did
my opponents think that they were
putting me in the Senate." .
Senator Proudfoot served only
three years in the Upper House.
Stricken with appendicitis, he was
admitted to Wellesley Hospital in
Toronto and died after one week,
on Sunday, December 3, 1922. He
was in his 64th year.
William Proudfoot was born
Feb.1,1859, in Colborne township.
His father, Robert Proudfoot, was
a native of Perthshire, Scotland,
and his mother, Margaret
Darlington,- came from Wicklow,
Ireland. (Regrettably, diligent
Search of available, records has
failed to determine the location
in Colborne of Robert Proudfoot.
The Journal of Knox Presbyterian
Church, Goderich, . lists Robert
Proudfoot as a member of the
management committee in 1851,
and an early settler on Lot 4;
Concession 7, Colborne, was
George Darlington, but the con-
nection in each instance remains
speculative.)
William Proudfoot, the
Goderich lawyer, was a nephew of
Chief Justice-Proudfoot, of Vice-
' Chancellor William Proudfoot
and The Rev. Dr. Williarn Proud-
foot, missionary and organizer, '
who set up Presbyterian congre-
gations in London, Goderich and
elsewhere in the early years
of settlement.
After pasSirig through public
and high schools of Goderich,
he began to study law under Mr.
Justice Garrow, subsequently en- '
tering Osgoode Hall. He was
called to the Ontario Bar in 1880,
and in that year commenced prac-
tice as a member of the firm of
Garrow and Proudfoot. Upon the
death of his partner, in 1916, he
sought new affiliations and even-
tually became senior partner in
the firm of Proudfoot, Killoran '
and Holmes,,of Goderich. In 1902
MISS' MARGARET. McNAB '
Miss Margaret McNab, a
long-time resident of Brussels,
died in Wingham and District
Hospital on Friday, March 17th.
She was in her 92nd,. year.
The daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Alexander (S dy) Mc-
Nab; she was born i McKillop
Township where .s received her
education. She s well known in
this community where she
clerked in Brussels stores for a
number of yearS.
She was predeceased ,by three
sisters, Mrs. James (Isabel) An-,

Mrs. Robert (Mary) McLachlan.

In the same year he trap ferred
his major activities to T ronto,
establishing the firm late 'known
as Proudfoot, Duncan, Gil ay and
Tisdall, but now Proudfoot, Tis-
dall and Logan.
At the provincial election of et
1908, Mr. Proudfoot received
the Liberal nomination and suc-.
eeeded in breasting the sweep for
the Conservatives which left only
19 Liberals in the Hmise. Hewes
elected in 1911 aed again in 1914.
On January 3, 1918, after N. W.
Rowell's elevation to the Domin- 0
ion cabinet under Sir Robert
Borden, the Centre Huron
member was called to the tem-
porary leadership of the Liberal
party in the Legislature.
"During the 1918 session,"
says the New -Era obituary
article, "his general policy was •
one of co-operation with the then
Conservative goiernrnent for the
facilitation of wartime activities.
He supported the bill to prolong
the (14th) Legislature until the
retur n of the soldier voters, and
spoke in favor of various other
government measures. His pro-
nounced stand in favor of Union
Government aroused some
opposition from within his own
party,. He stuck to his gunS,
however, and in June, 1919, at
the provincial Liberal convention
was not successfUl in obtaining
election as permanent leader.
• "Mr. Proudfoot, contested
Centre Huron In 19.19 as an inde-
Attorney. The Huron Bar Assoc-
iation honored him with its presi-
dency over a period of 25 years,
and for many years he was presi-
dent of West Huron Liberal
Association."
Election campaigns proved
Mr. Proudfoot a competent plat-
form performer, but ',not a great
speaker," as Hugh Hill, former
Colborne reeve, recalls; "not
like Graeme Cameron." He is
remembered as a great upholder,
of his home town - -" the good
old town on Lake Huron, there's
none like her," he said at a
public banquet.
His business connections in-
cluded directorates in Goderich •
