Besides her husband one son sur­ vives. . 4 old Men of Devon, whose exploits as warriors on sea and land have been the subjects of song and toast for centuries, met with a new sort of warfare when they came out to make homes in Usborne Township. The tools for attack were different, and their uses, for the most part, were new to them, but the task they faced called for the Devon spirit that had carried their forbears through tight corners. These tasks they met with good cheer. They were as unskilled in the use of the axe as any pioneer from the older countries, and the common weapon forest. It was said ..these Devon men around a tree, as a g-o about felling one, but in time, and with much labor, they Jearned how to get the most -out of their work. Their cheeriness was exemplified in the morning salutations:: “ ’Ow be ye?” and the reply, “I be bravish ’Ofr be ye?” to which the first re­ sponded “I be bravish taa.” It was witih constant brave hearts these men and women hewed out their homes in Huron, the result ot which today may be seen in splen­ did homesteads. the axe was against the that some of chopped all beaver might Thomas Hera these them and fruit into groups and stock as it were, and by we had a fair idea of the of each and were ’better Council Minutes Hensall, November 15, 19'37 A statutory meeting of the village council was held this evening at 8 all members being present.

Two little girls had been buried at sea. For generations, pos­ sibly centuries, members of the Hern family'had lived in Devonshire Money was scarce, and Mr. Hern, with some other neighbors, went to London to wonk on the railroad that was being built. Later, having ,pur» chased a 50-acre farm of bushland near Winchelsea, he settled down in earnest to make a permanent h-ome. His 50 acres were soon found to be too small for his growing family, and he added at intervals enough to increase the acreage to- 250. Thus this family was certain of three things, food, clothing and work and they appeared to enjoy to the full all three. The eldest son, William, moved to Manitoba, while five sons, Henry, Philip, James, Thomas and John took up farming in Usborne, where at the present time they or their’this line of work and descendants own 1,400 acres of land. Another son, George, is a successful farmer in Blanshard, and Fred lives in .Saskatchewan, Of all these sons, only Henry, John and Fred are liv­ ing. About 75 neighbors and relatives gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Klein, Fullarton town­ ship, a recent bride and bridegroom, and presented them with a miscell­ aneous shower. Kingsley Robinson read the address and the gifts were presented in a pink and white dec­ orated basket by the Misses Ila and Ina Lemmons. Although taken by surprise the bride and bridegroom very suitably replied.

Thrifty and Honest Naturally, the query arises: “How did this family succeed so well?” Tihe grandchildren are pleased to answer that, in addition to their thrift, industry, honesty and pusn, their prosperity must be largely at­ tributed to religious influence that came into their lives.- In Usborne, Thomas Hern helped to build Zion Church, south of V$n- chelsea, and was always a devoted member there, as many of his des­ cendants are today. The old Bible Christian spirit and practice are still evident in nthe community. Muck .of this is due to the active and help­ ful work of tihe Hern family and others in the neighborhood. Mrs. Charles Johns, a granddaugh­ ter of Thomas Hern is vice-president of the Huron Presbyterial Of the W. M. S. in tihe United Church, while another granddaughter,. Mrs. Her­ man Kyle, is president of the W. M. S. in James Street United Church at Exeter. In the educational world, the fam­ ily is represented by two great- grandsons of Thomas Hern. These are Walter Johns, teaching in Wa­ terloo College and Grant Hern, science teacher at the University of Toronto. Two grandsons made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. McGillivray township ONLY TJHREE PUPILS, IN ENTRANCE CLASS HAS ALL in Mc-There is a public school Gillivray Township, north of Ailsa Craig, with but three pupils, each of whom is in the entrance class. This is according to reports of rural power officials, who recently can­ vassed the district for ihydro. It is probable that the school in question will be wired and made into a com­ munity centre. Authorities concede this one of the smallest school Ontario. A strange thing about it, ficials state, is that in a section the classes are so well filled that it has been necessary to bor­ row seats and desks from the three- pupil schoolhouse. ■The question now dents of the section what to do about the of the trio pass their year. to be rolls in too, of- near-by i before resi- seems to be school if all entrance this Mrs. And That Was Enough “Did you spend your time puzzles?” “No; only with the one I Ned.” “The Other Man ff Perhaps he sometimes slipped a bit- Well, so have you.
