also among the guests,.
Mr, Nord also gave credit to
Mr, McConnell for the program,
which, he said, was an honor for
the Lions .Club to take part in,.
Mr, MacNaughton said the
storm played a significant part in.
the history Of the province,
particularly of the Huron tract.
He said it was unlikely a similar-
tragedy would .happen again due
to technical advances.
He said. it was a pleasure to be
able to bring greetings from the
province,
Mr. Gaunt was introduced by
the chairman who said it was
through the Huron-Bruce MPP
that the Lions Club had first got
together with the provincial
department concerning the
plaque.
Mr. Gaunt said he was very
pleased the province had seen fit
to erect the plaque which
commemorated a —very real
part of the history of this area."
He too said it was unlikely -a
similar tragedy could happen
again,
"We have made tremendous
advances in communications and
the prediction of weather is
much more accurate now," he
said.
He noted that shipping had
been improved too, which would
also contribute to safety on the
lakes.
Professor Goulding told the
gathering of the events that take
place when a site for an historic
plaque is suggested, of how
research teams investigate the
events surrounding the history
and how iecommendations are
made to the board involved
before anything goes ahead.
Professor Scott was the main
speaker of the afternoon and
gave an extended account of the
history of, the Great Lakes and
Lake Huron in particular, noting
the benefits the lake had given
to early settlers and the
important role the lake played in
present day life.
"We must not forget the
other moods of the lake," said
• Professor Scott. "This is an old
girl not to. be tampered with.
Over the past 200 years she has
been put to good use. Before
that the Indians used it and
there is good reason to believe
that even the early Jesuits made
it around the *nee iPeninsula
and might have come as fax
down as this."

He spoke of the prosperity
the lake had brought to • the
.area , stating trade and
commerce _could well be
expected to increase as the St,
Lawrence Seaway expands.
He concluded by likening the
lake to the peOple of the county,
"They are nice, pleasant, gentle
people...until really aroused,
then watch out!" he said.
"This plaque is tangible

when the lake, or the people of
the county, is aroused,"
The unveiling ceremony-was.

LITTER CONVICTS
Last year, 353 persons were
convicted of littering the
highways in Ontario. In
addition, many were stopped by
the police and warned about the
fine for littering. But it costs'
you money either way, for
Ontario taxpayers pay the
$970,000 tab it costs to keep
the highways clean. Keep a litter
bag in your car and help keep
Ontario clean,
