Much has been written concerning him, and valuable pictures of his exist in var­ ious places, while articles, formerly belonging to him, are prized posses­ sions. “I feel that it would be a .fitting tribute to all the pioneers of tnis county to improve the ground around the grave of this great personage who played such a big part in the early development of our county. “if it is decided to take any ac­ tion, I suggest that a committee be appointed to direct the work, and I would furthei* suggest that Charles Asquith, of Auburn, who has an ex­ tended knowledge of Dr. Dunlop’s history, and who has taken a big in­ terest in the matter, be placed on the committee.” George Laithwaite invited to speak said he was not so much interested in Dr. Dunlop’s tomb as in a mem­ orial to the thousands of pioneers of the county. He urged that a pioneer* log house be found and moved to a suitable site which Mr. Laithwaite was willing to donate and would be pleased to care foi* any relics stored there. The thanks of the council were extended to Mr. Patterson and to Mr. Laithwaite by the Warden and heartily endorsed by the members. H. E. Edwards, superintendent of the Children’s Aid Society, gave a resume of the year ending in March. He said it was only in rare cases that children are made wards of the county where homes are unsatisfac­ tory. All efforts are bent to making homes suitable and in making the father and mother realize the sacred responsibility which is theirs. There were 193 visits made in homes throughout the county dur­ ing the year; had 20'9 office inter­ views and 13 court attendances. Forty-one new complaints * were handled during the year. On March 31 there were 67 chil­ dren undei’ the care of the Society j Mayor H. J. A. MacEwen, the members of the council turn to Goderich for the celebration of Old Home Week beginning 1st of August. He asked that a little extra decorating of the court house be done. “It won’t cost much and we will appreciate it very much as a town.” A motion was later passed and a committee appointed to carry out the request of His Worship. Dr. W. F. Gallow in addressing the council on the same subject said “Ten years we celebrated the cen­ tennial of the opening of the Huron Tract. With the surplus derived a cairn in Harbor Park and pillars were erected in memory of the early pioneers; the County Home and the Children’s Shelter were given a treat A pageant, “Britannia” portraying the history of Britain from the time of the Druids to the present time will feature the program besides horse races, baseball, softball, Cale­ donia games and the Huron Old Boys will be here in force with the 41st Highlanders Band.” The Wednesday afternoon session was given over to the presentation and discussion of committee reports. The Finance Committee asked that an explanation be given by <the Pro­ perty Committee on whose outhority a perforator costing $45 was pur­ chased for the Registry Office. The machine had been ordered by Col. Denison, Inspector of Legal Office.s “Col. Denison is taking things too high-handed and it should be brought to the notice o'f Queen’s Park. He should have consulted the Property Committee before making the purchase,” said Reeve McNall of Blyth No action was taken in providing offices for the magistrate, the sup­ erintendent o'f the Children’s Aid and for witness, which would ne­ cessitate moving the lavatories to the basement. The changes were or­ dered by Colonel Denison who threatened to cut off the county’s share of fines if this was not done. The Warden’s Committee consid­ ered as the court house, being 70 years old, with walls three feet thick that the architecture should be con­ sidered in making changes.
