WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT Mr. Editor;— With deepest regret the thought­ ful people of Stephen Township read of the resignation of Henry Eilber, our senior municipal officei' in point of service and years. Dur­ ing a long and busy, public career, Henry Eilber has always remained a resident of his native village, Cred­ iton. 'Beginning at the bottom of the ladder of life he has,by patience, courage, strict integrity and great natural ability filled every public position within the gift of the people of Stephen Township and Huron County. This municipality has had the continual benefit of hie legal mind for over half a century, which service cannot be computed in mon­ etary terms. Mr. Eilber has long been an outstanding authority on municipal law, and his advice has always been available, his council always given in his pleasant gra­ tuitous manner. During his twenty- one years a.s a member of Parlia­ ment for South Huron (Mr. Eilber was always the pleasant, alert, cap­ able, public servant being available always to all people, whether Con­ servative or Liberal. Hie ability as' member was con­ stantly recognized and appreciated at Queen’s Park. As chairman of the Private Bills’ Committee, Agricul­ tural and Educational Committee on many occasions besides special work on municipal law, he was recognized continually for his outstanding abil­ ity. He was a personal friend of .Sir James Whitney, that premiei’ who was bold enough to be honest and honest enough to be bold, ber’s flood iates Ratz, Hicks, Samuel Sweitzer, Hy Willert and others, real friends, noted for their ability, courage and kindness. They are the “Boys of the Old Bri­ gade” and the only one Eilber. The people of cipality, of this county, many places far across ion sincerely extend to their best wishes that he may re­ main active for years to come and that the blessing of good health may be his in abundant measure during life’s twilight.
