A Lover of Education Civic Finances in One Family Over 70 Years Fullarton Township Retained Three Generations of the Coles in Office By S. Garrett in London Free Press To the Cole family of Russeldale, Perth County, goes the honour of establishing a record that is believ­ ed to be unique in Western Ontario. For 7 6 years they have been treas­ urers of Fullarton Township, and have icarried out the many duties in connection with the position in a most creditable way. Most townships change their exe­ cutives every few years, and some­ times every year, giving proof to the fact that the Cole family must have a fine reputation for trustworhiness in order to continue in office for over three-quarters of a century. It is largely due to the efforts of offi­ cials such as these that Fullarton has won the enviable reputation among the Townships of Perth. It was hack in 1842 that John Cole, Sr., left his old home in Nor­ folk, England, and came to Canada locating at Tliorold and obtaining work cn the second Welland Canal, which was being constructed at that time, In 1845 he decided to try his hand at farming, and made plans to settle in the Huron Tract, which was supposed to hold many oppor­ tunities. Accompanied by John Gartrell, William Roy, Edward Gill and Geo. Roy, he set out -with a team and wagon, and after a week of hard travel, arrived at the site of the present town of Mitchell. While staying at the Hick’s House they were introduced to a surveyor who had been engaged in laying out the concessions in ■what was to become the Township of Fullarton. Acting on his advice, they decided to settle in the vicinity where the Hibbert- Fullarton bcundaiw crosses the Thames Road. Cuts were drawn between the men to decide which bush lots they should take up, and Mr. Cole drew one not far from the farm which he afterwards cleared. Later he agreed to exchange with one of the men, who was dissatisfied, and, as a result obtained lot 34, North Thames Rd. This property has ever since been in possession of the Cole family, and part of the Village of Russeldale stands on land purchased from it. In 1860, John Cole, Sr., was ap­ pointed treasurer of Fullarton, and held the position until his death in 1896, at the age of 90. All the township officials attended the fun­ eral, and when it was over they held a meeting and elected his son, the present John Cole, to fill t'he same position. The latter carried on for 39 years, and recently was compell­ ed to resign owing to advanced age and failing eyesight. The township officials immediately appointed his youngest son, Earl Cole, to succeed him, and he is now continuing in this capacity. John Cole, although now nearing 90 yeais of age is still a robust man and in possession of all his faculties with the exception of partial blind­ ness. H'is memory goes back to the early days of Fullarton and he tells numerous interesting stories of its development. He was born in the original loghouse which continued to be the family home until the mas­ sive stone residence was built in 1863. As a boy he attended the old log school at Mount Pleasant, where the late Hug'h Chisholm was the first teacher and carried on for 12 years. When about 18 years of age, Mr. Cole joined |he ranks of the 28th Perth Regiment, which was being formed to combat the Fenians. Be­ ing a skilled musician, he was after­ wards transferred to the regimental band, which had been organized by Benjamin Riggs, Fullarton village wagon-maker. It was at this time that he composed a special march tune, incorporating an officers’ sal­ ute, which was used in the Perth Regiment for many years. , Russeldale w&s named after its founder, James Russell, who was an­ other pioneer of the district, and the first post office was opened by John Wilson in 1847. Other old-timers in business included Robert Roy, John Sutton and H. iC. Facey. Among the early settlers in the community besides those already mentioned, were William Harness, James Jame­ son, Alexander Melville, Douglas Stewart, John ■ Morgan, William Jameson, John Morgan, William Jameson, Hugh Neal, Thomas Allan, Alexander Clarke, George Balfour, John McCurdy and James Balfour. There were also the Hawks and Harris families. COMMUNICATION 4 (-KA Dear Mr. Editor: I was pleased to read the Rev. Harry Jennings’ letters telling of his journey to and his work at Fort Norman in the far North. I have made clippings of them and shall treasure them along with those of I)r. Margaret StrangiSavage, The work of these two missionaries in our homeland as well as foreign missionary work, done in China by the Revs. Mr, Mortimer and John Walker, bring honor to our town and vicinity.. All honor to the young men and Women who today and in all ages chose to work in a field where the remuneration is so much smaller than is other profes­ sional walks in life. A few sentences now about the first-mentioned. My first acquain­ tance with him dates back a good many years. One morning as I walked down the street on my way to work a smiling, bright-eyed chap of 11 or 12 years caught up to me and at once as though he had known me all his life he began to talk. After a few common remarks he asked: "Were you at the Garden Party last night?” No. Where was it?” "At the English Church. It was a good one.” "Is that where you go to chur,ch?” I asked. "Yes.” "Do you go to school?” I enquir­ ed. "Yes, but I deliver goods mornings and evenings and Saturday for------ naming one of the merchants. "What is your name?” • "Harry Jennings,” was the reply. This acquaintance, 'begun so hap­ pily, ripened into a warm friendship during succeeding years.

Yet it is charged with much reason that today to many the "home is only a plaice to eat, sleep, grunt and growl.” Is the following’ typical of pres­ ent conditions? A young wife was approached by a real estate agent who tried to in­ terest her and her husband in 'buy­ ing a home. "A home” she said, "why, what in the world do we want with a home? I never had one.

However, where water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, gasoline is composed of carbon and hydrogen.These two can be combined in many different patterns, called ’'hydrocarbons”. Quick starting depends upon the presence, in a motor fuel, of a group of very light '’hydro­ carbons”. These,5 as they are found in un­ finished gasolines, are seldom in their proper proportions and usually contain gaseous and too volatile fractions whichi cause power loss and vapor lock. However, in making BLUE SUNOCO the engineers retain only the desirable, easily ignited ’’hydrocarbons” in exactly the right proportions to give instant starting all winter long, followed by other hydrogen and car­ bon combinations which provide lightning- like acceleration, high knockless power and long mileage.
