But I entreat thee, wait with patience, and I will endeavox’ to unfold to thy imagina­ tion many sources of their miseries theii* follies and their multiplied vices.” The settlers of Huron County, on the other hand, must have held the Jledman in high esteem, as they en­ graved Wawanosh Township, East jaxid West (1840) with the writer’s name. The aborigines pronounced the name Waywaynosh, and its meaning “he who ambles the water’ or “pleasant sailing.” Wawanosh is the township title in the the name Huron itself background. .It was Lake Huron, which in its name from the Wyandotte’In­ dians, who were called Huron by the French, due to the manner in which they dressed Huron Tract existed lier date, but the dated 1841,/ , Direct influence Land, Company i amongst other Huron County town­ ship titles, Usborne, set up in 183 0 chose to honor one of the first dir­ ectors of the company, a Henry Us­ borne, who is mentioned in various early letters with reference to the 'Canadian timber trade, A London, Eng., bankgr, Martin TuckerSmith, was also one of the original direc­ tors, and gave his surname to Tuck­ ersmith Township.

Following is the address; Deax* Friend: We are here today to share with you some of those inarticulate feel­ ings of our hearts we cannot ex­ press in words.

Mrs. very made West 85 th Hullett Township. Both of gentlemen were directors of Land Company. Mr. Hullett, according to records, was also engaged in growing of hops in Quebec about 1810. It seems he purchased the beach between the mountain and the waterside, as fax’ as Wolfe’s Cove. Part of this he rented out to the • merchants for culling and stowing their timber and staves. We ai’e told that his hop plantation succeeded to his best expectations. Exclusive of the quantity supplied by Mr. Hullett, hops were also im­ ported into Canada from England and the United States, and sold for 18 pence per pound. Stephen Township (1835), re­ produced the names of James Stephen, Jr., the under-secretary of state for the colonies, about the time of Lord 'Goderich and Lord Glenelg. How the name was chosen' is a little confusing, because the same Mr. Stepheq was,1 to say the least, / fax’ from popular. Said The Montreal Gazette in 183 8: “Nor can it be . doubted that to his. evil influence must be ascribed all the mis-government which these prov­ inces have suffered foi’ so long a period. It is time that the baneful domination of Mr. Under-Secretary Stephen should be got rid of, and an entirely new system of things •should be adopted. Hay Township paid tribute to R. W. Hay, joint secretary fox’ the col­ onies with Pat Swift, Mackenzie, edition of Another secretary to the colonies was Edward Geoffrey Smith Stan­ ley, 14th Earl of Derby, born 1799, died 1869. Residents of Stanley Township stamped his name on their district. One of Mr. Stanley’s jobs as secretary was the abolition of slavery in the West Indies. In 1852 he formed a government which quickly collapsed. He again became British premier, in 1858. His son .Edward Henry, made an extended tour of 1848;, upon his ceeded by his Lord Stanley, of then Governor-General of Canada. The name Stanley dates from the time of King John, when William de Audleigh acquired the manor of ■Stanleigh, taking his surname from it after the rough and stony soil. Stanley in -Staffordshire, according to the old bAllad, was the scene of the battle between Robin Hood, and Pindar th© rebellion* and as governor gen­ eral be used stern administration, executing 12 at Montreal- He was also the foundei' of Upper Canada College in Toronto. Grey Township was named after Charles, 2nd Earl of 'Grey, bom in 1764, died 1845. just, three years before the township was dedicated. His family was of Saxon origin, and his father participated in th© con­ quest of Canada and the American Revolution. Following the lead of Grey Township, Howick Township, (18500, chose the > title of the 3rd Earl of Grey’—Viscount Howick, who came from the hamlet of How­ ick, seat of the Grey family estate in Northumberland, England. Morris Township chose to per­ petuate the memory of a Scotch­ man, Hon. William Morris, Perth, Ont? He was boxrn in Paisley, Scot­ land, in 1786, coming to Montreal with his fathex’ in 1801. He took an active part in the Wax’ of 1812. In 1816 he opened a store at Perth, and four years tlxence was elected to Parliament for Lanark. Until the time of his death he continued to hold various key political posts, and a son, Alexander, along with a brother, William, continued his re­ cord of office until 1877. •Scotland is again represented in Turnberry Township, called 'after Turnberry Castle in Carrick, It is. believed that Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, spent many years of his youth there. In 1307 he landed on the Carrick coast and captured his own castle from ’’"the English. The top of the rock on which Turn­ berry 'Castle is built is 18 feet above the watex’ at high tide, and it presents a majestic * appearance from the sea. The name of Ashfield Township holds a unique position amongst Huron townships, it being the one and only township to be called aftex* an English village—Ashfied- Village in Suffolk, which lays claim to fame as the birthplace of Lord 'Chancellor Thurlow and his brother, Thomas, Bishop of Dur­ ham.

SOMEWHERE in the back of your mind, there’s that urge to go places* Right now it must be filed under “Future” but it’s part of us as Canadians to want to discover for ourselves what the rest of the World is like—to plan for that “some day,” when tve’ll take a trip! That’s why it must be part of out planning now, to make sure such pleasant things as trips are possible in the post-war world. And they’ll be possible only if we fight against inflation—fight now to keep Canada’s dollar worth a full dollar! Why is NOir so important? Be* cause NOW* civilian goods are scarce, money is plentiful. NO IF" is the time we must guard against paying more than things are worth—against black markets—against buying more than we need, or goods we don’t need! NOP7 is the time we must support rationing and price controls! Up to the present, we’ve kept our dollar sound. And we can continue to do so if we keep up a strong, steady fight against inflation! If we fail in this fight, prices will rise. Wages will never quite catch up. Soon you’ll pay, perhaps a dollar for a quarter’s worth of goods! And that means your dollar is worth only a quarter! That’s inflation. And after inflation, comes de­ pression. Depression means neither you nor anyone else in Canada will have trips* You’ll be lucky if you have a job! So» for our own sakes, for the sake of returned men, for our children-, let*s never relax our struggle to keep Canada’s dollar worth a full dollar! Make this Pledge Today! I pledge myself to do my part in fighting inflation: By observing rationing and avoiding black markets in any shape or form. By respecting price controls and other anti-inflation measures, and re­ fraining from careless and unneces­ sary buying. I will not buy two where one will do, nor Will I buy a "new” where an "old” will do. By buying Victory Bonds and War Savings Stamps, supporting*tax- atlpn sad abiding by all such measures ” which will lower the cost erf living and help keep prices at a normal level.
