HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1976-11-04, Page 9SEAFORTH AS IT WAS —1 a ken more than 50 years ago these
airial photos of Seaforth recall buildings and activities, that no
longer exist. The work of two famous Canadian war aces Col.
W.A.Bishop V.C. and Col. W. G. Barker, V.C., the pictures were
made available to the Expositor by Ed. Daly. In discussing the-
picutures Mr. Daly recalled that the book ,"Canada'S Flying
Heritage" by Frank H. Ellis points out tharafter the War, litany
veteran flyers, began to figure ways and means of making a
hiring out of flying. Among these were Bishop and Barker, who
between them had destroyed 122 enemy aircraft in World War I.
The Bishop-Barker Flying Co. was formed with the object of
operating a passenger service between Toronto and the Muskoka
resort area, but the public was not ready for so radical an
innovation and the Company c .ollapsed. In the meantime other
activities such as the airial photos of Seaforth. were undertaken.
In the upper, picture taken looking north, along Main Street can
be seen (lower left) the activity at the CNR station including
cattle pens freight sheds and station building. South of the
tracks are mill buildings moats of which have disappeared-with
the development., of Railway Street. Directly above the CNR
station in the'former skating rink which burned several years ago
and was replaced with the present Ball Mac auley plant. The
• Legion building is missing on Main Street but the barn in which
Mac McKellar kept the horse he used for Express deliveries .
o,ccupied the site. There were no houses on Huron Street and
SeafOrth people took g'hort cuts as they angleil krOss the'blotk. It
was nearly ten years after this picture was taken that' the bowling
green on Main Street was built. In the upper left can be seen the
factory buildings torn down in recent years to make way for the
Senior Citizens apartments.
In the lower picture taken looking west along No. 8 Highway
can be seen the former barn long since gone where the Leonhart
house now is located. In- the right of this is the former Walsh
house which was moved to H arpurhey a number of years ago to
make room for the Shell station on Goderich Street East.' The
skating rink appears at the upper left and west of the Queens
" Hotel, is the, former three storey Wilson egg storage building
which disappeared in 1928 when Supertest built the first gas
station in Seaforth. Just below St. James' Church in the middle
of the picture is the original St. James' School. Note the
walkways between the Church and the Convent. Frank Sills has
the original post cards of the airial scenes.

In McKillop, things will
probably be inuckthe same
after December. Most members
of council have indicated that they
are running agam, and none had
heard of any other McKillop
residents planning to Contest an
election.
McKillop reeve, Allan
Campbell, who has been on
council for 16 years said he will
stand again. "Nobody else seems
to want to. If somebody wanted
the job, I'd be willing 'to quit."
Deputy reeve, Ralph McNichol,
who has also been on council
since 1960, says he will likely run
again, although he couldn't be
definite yet.
Councillor Harvey Craig said
he is planning to run. 'He's been
on council for about seven years.
Bill Leeming, another McKillop-
councillor, says he will run for
office again.He's been on council,
for about 10 years and says he
hasn't heard any word on whether
or not there will be an election.
The entire McKillop council
was acclaimed to office two years
ago. ,
Art Anderson, a McKillop
councillor for eight years, says
he's still undecided about
running again. There has been
quite a bit of pressure on him to
run for reeve but "I don't .have
time for that," Mr Anderson said.
He commented that although
he's enjoyed his years on council,
it's difficult to get to night
meetings when he has cows to
milk first.
There'll be at least one change
on Grey Township council, this
year.
Barbara Dunbar, who's been a
councillor for two terms, has
announced that she's not running
again. "It's time somebody else
had a stab at it. I've been on for
four years, and that is enough."
Grey reeve, Roy Williamson is
definitely running again. Mr.
Williamson is finishing his first
term as reeve but he has been a
member of council for six years,
incinding two years as deputy
reeve and two as a cohncillor. Mr.
Williamson said he isn't sure yet
whether or not Grey will have a
ratepayer's meeting.
