Hensall council committees
selected at initial meeting
Reeve Oliver Jaques and his
ensall council convened for the
first meeting of the new year on
anuary 6 when clerk -treasurer
Earl Campbell administered the
ath of office..
Rev, Harold Currie based his
remarks on the parable of the
talents and urged citizens to
utilize their time and abilities for
the betterment of the
community. He noted that
public apathy will certainly
hasten the advent of regional
government in Ontario.
Committees for the year were
named • including the property
committee of Hein Rooseboom
and Harold Knight; streets, John
Baker and Leonard• Erb;
industrial, Knight and Baker.
Ausable River Conservation
Authority representative is
Lorne Hay.
Rooseboom and Erb are
council's appointments to the
recreation, parks and
community centre board. Other
committee members are for
1969, Paul Neilands and Jack
Henderson; 1969-70, Harry
'Page, Eric Mansfield and
Anthony Charrette.
The Library board consists of
Mrs., Eileen Rannie and Mrs.
Patricia Cook for 1969 and Mrs.
Sarah Cook, Robert Raeburn
and Mrs. Olive Kyle for 1969-70
At the regular meeting in the
evening, the condition of the
roads in Hensall was discussed at
some length. Council reviewed
the problem of short streets in
the village which are not plowed
open for residents. •
E. R. Davis said, "These
people have as much right, as
anyone . else to get out."
However, he did admit it was
difficult to obtain service since
the plow which operates in
Hensall does so on a strictly
part-time basis after county
work is finished.
Baker; chairman of the streets
committee, agreed to try to
reach some agreement with the
snowplow operator regarding
Hensall streets. Baker did
indicate, however, he held little
hope forcomplete satisfaction
'for all rtedple in d'Hensall and
noted the situation is not too
bad when there is not too much
snow.
"I guess Hensall streets aren't
in much worse shape than streets
in other towns," observed
Knight who blamed the
unusually heavy snowfall of the
last week or so for the problem.
Council did agree to hire a
owblower to ease the situation
n some Hensall sidewalks.
A special meeting is expected
hortly to discuss a request by E.
R. Davis for a raise of $500
nnually from $4,200 to $4,700
plus $300 car allowance.
As road foreman for the
illage, Davis explained that his
salary was considerably below
alaries paid to men in similar
ositions in other villages in this
part of Ontario.
Council will probably review
'the entire wage picture of all
jvillage employees at the meeting
for which no definite date was
pet.
SNOWMOBILES
Hein Rooseboom wondered
out loud what could be done to
curtail the activities of
snowmobile fans who enjoy the
Obitu.ail
MRS. MANLEY JINKS
Residents of Hensall and
mmunity were saddened to
earn of the sudden passing of
rs, Manley Jinks, a highly
steemed resident of the Village
or many years, who died
uddenly last Saturday in South
uron Hospital, Exeter, where
he had been admitted the day
efore.

"noisy" sport during the early
hours of the morning when most
folks are asleep.
He asked. if a bylaw could be
passed to prohibit snowmobiles
in the village after a reasonable
hour each night. -
"Who's going to enforce
that?" asked Reeve Jsques.
It was. noted that
householders who are annoyed
by snowmobiles should get the
licence numbers of the offenders
and relay the information to the
police.
"That may be quite a job in
your bare feet on a frosty
night," chided Rooseboom.
Council learned that the
$31.84 received from the
province as the village's share of
fines collected in 1968 is to be
returned to the office of the
provincial treasurer,
Members instructed clerk
Campbell to inform the Ontario
government of the costs involved
to purchase, license and service
the radar equipment .owned
jointly by the village of Hensall
and Zurich,
It was noted that when
provincial police come into the
village to check for speeders,
, they use the village's radar
equipment.
Councillor Baker suggested
that if the province hopes to
collect any profits made from
speeding fines, it might . also
want to pick up the tab for
expenses to the village radar
equipment — or provide
provincially owned .devices, for
police.
Huronview resident
starts 103rd year
Duncan Stewart of
Huronview, formerly of Hensall,
celebrated his 102nd birthday
on Tuesday.
He was born in 1867 on Lot
14, Concession 3, Usborne
Township, about four miles
southeast of Hensall, a son of
Robert. and Jane (Ross) Stewart,
pioneers in the area.
Mr. Stewart attended
Usborne , Township SS 1, a
country school later known as
the Hurondale School, and
worked for several years with his
family.
He spent the summer of 1886
near Le Mars, Iowa, with settlers
from his home area and in 1889
in Manitoba and Minnesota. He
farmed in Manitoba from 1899
to 1909. From 1909 to 1945 he
farmed 1.25 miles north of
Hensall.
He entered Huronview in
November of 1965 and enjoys
Odd healtIvandi,.a,clear;accurate
memory. •
• He recalls boyhood trips to
the country store at Rodgerville
for groceries and mail.
Rodgerville was then a thriving
community about 1.5 miles
south of Hensall and was the
halfway point between London
and Goderich.
The store was operated by
James Bonthron, great
grandfather of Harold Bonthron
who now lives in Hensall. At
that time, Rodgerville boasted of
three blacksmith shops and two
cobbler shops.
Other recollections include
taking milk to •a cheese factory
about a mile and a half east of
the Hensall Union Cemetery,
and of sowing grain by hand and
thrashing it with a flail.
Later, he says, reapers came
into use for cutting grain, but it
still was bound into, sheaves by
hand.
Mr. Stewart witnessed the
construction of the London,
Huron and Bruce railroad in
1875 and recalls a collision
south of Hensall in the early
eighties. Both locomotives were
thrown off the track, he said,
the late fall mishap and
remained there until spring.

The 100 -year-old ' Hensall
native joined Carmel
Presbyterian Church in the
spring of 1890. His wife, the
former Annie Bell, died 22 years
ago. He has one son, W.
Murdoch Stewart, a consulting
actuary in Lake Forest, Ill., and
one grandson, Donald Duncan.
