• Concert
pleasant
way to spend
an evening
Sitting under the trees, enjoy-
ing a cooling evening breeze
while fine music plays certainly
sounds like a pleasant- way to
spend a Sunday evening. Unfor-
tunately, not enough people in
Seaforth seem to think so.
Although the new, series of
band conceits at Victoria Park in
town are oing well, D. Charles
Toll, who rganizes the concerts
for the amber of Commerce
says the crowds haven't been as
big as they could be. "People go
away to the beach for the
afternoon or,out for a drive and.
forget to come back," Dr. Tolj
said.
He said there are excellent
musicians lined up for the sum-
mer concerts and that the'Cham-
ber would like to ' see larger
audiences out.
The concerts begin every Sun-
day night a 8 p.m. This Sunday,
July 20, the Forest Band will
perform. This 100 year old band
is directed by Ernest Whitton, a
son of the Ernest Whitton who
once directed the Seaforth High-
landers Band. •
"Let's have a big turnout for
the next band concert", Dr. Toll
asks.
The Mitchell Legion Band
under the direction of Clare
French entertained last Sunday.
They were welcomed to` town by
Tom Wilbee, vice president of the
Local Legion.
They played standard marches
and overtures for the first half of
their e program and old time
numbers after intermission.
These included "Beautiful Ohio"
and Cruising down the River"
and some hymns. A socialr halt,
hour with 'refreshment 'se dd'
the ClArnber of corn
cert Committee followed.'

(By Chris Zdeb in the Clinton
News Record)
Huron county people don't
waste words when they talk. In
fact, they get to the point of what
they have to say much faster than
most people living in other parts
of the pro' 1.-ice.
English acher, Terry O'Neil
says it is nu surprise that people
in the area are straight-talkers -
"it falls in with their rural wa) of
life,"
Mr. O'N •il and seven of his
grade 10 students at Central
Huron Sec r.dary School are in
the final stages of compiling this
and other hits of information that
they have collected during the
first historical word geography
study of the Clinton region. The
concentrates its
isntuvedsytigation on the language
used in the 1875-1900 time
period, and was undertaken as a
Centennial project.
"We decided to focus on those
years because the people who
were alive at the turn of the
century are going to be in the
ground soon and the wealth of
information they possess will be
lost," Mr. O'Neil said.
Huronview residents of sound
mind, 90 •year-old and over,
provided the researchers their
study material. Armed with
prepared questionnaires and a
tape recorder, students Trina
Connolly, Mary Anne Cummings,
Elizabeth Davidson, Glenna Ellis,
Barb Lawson, Sandy Marshall,
and Michelle Smith invaded the
County's Senior Citizens' Home,
to finally emerge several
interviews later with 60 hours of
recordings.
"Every hour of tape requires 20
hours of analysis," Mr. O'Neil
said, and in the several hundred
feet of tape that have been played
so far, he has come across quite a
few interesting, facts.
"Did, you know that people
used to be 'married plain' with no
attendants and no cake?" he
asked. "And did' you also. know
that they were married at 5 in the
morning So that they could catch
the 6 a.m.. train out of Stratford
for their honeymoon trip?"
"What about • the term
pathmaster?' Before there was a
Department of Highways, you
had to look after the road in front o
of your farm. If you didn't, the
pathmaster would come along
with a work crew and look after it
for you, but charge you with the
bill for doing it."
.A141,18.t4th iranteads. appreciated it tnu sitties 6
been the highwayman '(a robber
mounted on horseback who
ambushed highway travellers),
who was quite active in pioneer
days throughout the County.
In addition, Mr. O'Neil has
found that . "gravel running",
(drinking while driving through
the countryside) is a word unique
fo this area but its use has spread
because regions of people aren't
isolated from each other like they
used to be.
"Regional dialects (manners of
speech), are beginning to
disappear with people travelling
more and radio ,and television
having become more prevalent in
our society," he said. "But
dialects• still exist and vary for
each region.
Mr. O'Neil claims dialect is
more distinct than fingerprints
and said that boundaries could
even be drawn around areas
within Huron which pronounce
their words differently.
"People think that regional
dialects come from one root, but
that's nonsense. Take the English
language for example. It's made
up of the sum total of dialects."
Geography, the standard of
living and ancestry all influence a
regional dialect, he said.
"In southern parts of
Newfoundland, you can find
people whose speech is similar to
Elizabethan dialects."
Each region has three levels of
dialect; "prestige," "standard,"
and "folk" which reflect the
amount of formal education a
person has had.
Word studies, like the one that
was conducted by Mr. O'Neil and
his students have been going on
for 75 years in Canada, "and
unintentionally for much longer,"
he, said.
"In -the 1700's, a group of
amateur linguists (people study
words), went to Australia to
study the dialect of the
ThePygmies. They went about
pointing at different things and
asking the nat Ives ,.to tell them
what they were called. One day,
they saw this big creature with a
poubh hopping around, and
pointing to it asked a Pygmie
what the beast was called. The
little fellow replied, "kangaroo,"
and that's how we got the name
for a kangaroo," Mr. O'Neil said.
"Another study of the Pygmy
language done somewhat later by
a group of professional linguists
discovered that the Pygmy word
"kanga roe," translated as "I'm
sorry, but I don't understand
what you're asking me," which is
,:xactly what that little guy was
trying to tell the amateurs."
Even so, he added that the
Maritimes had been studied and
that several other surveys, were
still progressing throughout the
country.
We hope eventually to compile
all of the data intp a linguistic
atlas of Canada.' .
ThehOoklet,1 ''"SaY. It - Like " It
Was," marks the end of a stage in
the Clinton group's research, but
the available information is far
from being exhausted, Mr. O'Neil
Remember! It takes but a
moment to place a Huron

said. There is a possibility that
the survey may continue next
year if enough students show an
interest in learning about the
history of their language.
"In studying variations of past
dialects we can determine how
word and letter sounds haye
changed and how they will
continue to change in the future,''
he said.
"People get upset. when they
see the language change, but the
only way to stop it from changing,
is to stop speaking..'
It's highly' im probable that
people would ever do that, but it
could happen in Huron where
even now people are quite stingy
with their words.
