THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1954 Here Comes 1955 Best Wishes For A Happy New Year Review Despite some serious crop setbacks this fall and a decline in farm and business re venue, this area continued to produce pros perity in 1954. General improvements were carried out throughout the farm and urban areas. Muni cipalities financed many important projects and assessments continued to rise with the improvement of existing buildings and the construction of new ones. Construction of new schools and repairs and additions to old ones added to the al ready high cost of education but showed that the district was willing to pay to provide top educational facilities for its children, Churches made many improvements dur ing 1954. One church was forced-to build an addition and another, a town landmark, was being restored. Traffic accidents continued to decline. Agriculture Fickle weather hit crops this year, A wet spring delayed seeding and then a dry summer prevented growth. Weather turned wet again in the fall and ruined the bean crop and prevented harvest of root crops. Canadian Canners Ltd. and the local union signed a two-year agreement and the factory canned corn and peas this year after being shut down over a labor dispute in 1953. Area farmers captured major prizes for livestock and grains at the Canadian Nation al Exhibition, Royal Winter Fair and other fairs. Prominent winners were Preston Dear ing and Son, Robert Flern and M. E. Hooper. The 4-H program, largest in Huron county’s history, was climaxed by an out standing record in the Queen's Guineas com petition at the Royal Winter Fair. Close to 400 4-H members completed projects this year. The Hensail Feeder Calf Club enjoyed another successful Achievement Day this spring and in the fall formed a record membership of over 100 boys and girls in the area. Exeter’s Centennial Fail' was the best in the Agriculture Society’s history but it was also the most expensive. A deficit of $1,000 was practically wiped out by a community benefit variety show. Education A new school at Lucan and a four-room addition in Exeter were completed this year. It appears that a. new four-room addi tion to the district high school will be needed in 1955. Township areas continued to make extensive improvements to rural schools. A salary dispute at the public school re sulted in the resignation of over half of the staff before the new term started. A new salary schedule adopted by the board in De cember is expected to prevent a similar oc- .curcnce next year, Religion Churches seemed to enjoy improvement during 1954. James Street United, in Ex eter, began construction of a $50,000 Sunday School addition; an excellent start on the restoration of Trivitt Memorial Church has been made, under the leadership of Rev. N. D. Knox; a new kitchen was installed at Main Street United; Hensall churches fin anced genera] improvements; new organs were installed at Kippen and Lucan church es, Entertainment Again the Huronia Male Chorus pro duced a successful operetta; its music festi val was called “one of the best in the pro vince." The high school commencement at tracted a record crowd. Kirkton had another oustanding Garden Party and Exeter Kins men kept the Dominion Day Celebration a major summer attraction. The Exeter Legion was able to pay off its mortgage through the proceeds of several large bingocs. Or- The Times-Advocate extends its best wishes to you for a bountiful 1955. We hope the new year will bring you good fun, good fortune and prosperity. We hope that at the end of 1955 you can say "It’s been a good year." Each year at this time we make a num ber of special New Year’s wishes for the community. This year's include a number of the ones in 1954 which didn’t come about. We hope they will in 1955. Here’s our list: For Exeter: development of a park be tween the dam and the bridge; greater in dustrial promotion; a town plan to include paved streets and sewage system. For farmers; more world markets; bet ter prices; better weather; cheaper imple ments ; stronger organizations. For S.H.D.H.S.: continuation of high academic standards; hockey teams. For the area: quick establishment of the public park in the Pinery. For the Ausable Valley Conservation Authority: federal assistance toward .flood control projects. For the Liberals at Ottawa: more Con servatives. For the Conservatives at Toronto: more Liberals. For councillors, school trustes, public officials, church and community leaders: co operation. Thanks As old man 1954 departs from the scene, The Times-Advocate would like to express its appreciation to the many people who make it possible for us to publish this newspaper. We thank our faithful correspondents who record life in the surrounding area; our contributors, co-operative news sources, critics and supporters; our ever-increasing number of readers; the advertisers who have found this medium a profitable way to pro mote business. Without this help, we could not render a public service to this district. ganization of a Senior Citizens’ group in town proved to be one of the most popular moves of the year; the group is already one of the best of its kind in Ontario. Elections A number of outstanding municipal leaders retired at the end of 1954. These in cluded Mayor W. G. Cochrane of Exeter; Middlesex Warden and Biddulph Reeve Fred Dobbs; Perth Warden and Blansliard Reeve John Stephen; Hensall Reeve and former Huron Warden Alvin Kerslake. Exeter The town purchased a police cruiser to make its police force more effectivve. Start was made on a number of projects including a town crest, road signs and the river park. Considerable drain repair was effected. A school safety patrol and safety council were organized. General Hensall installed a $30,000 artificial ice plant which gave birth to a new sport in this area—curling. Hensall received its first service club when Kinsmen were formed there this spring. Dashwood purchased a $10,000 fire engine and constructed a new hall to house it. In the realm of conservation, the Ausable Authority encouraged the construc tion of nearly 300 farm ponds and a con siderable amount of tree planting was done. Over 100,000 trees were planted in Hay swamp to turn this sub-marginal area into a moisture-holding forest. The provincial government announced it would attempt to purchase the Pinery for a public park. The urban municipalities of the county started an industrial promotion campaign. These, and other developments, were highlights of 1954 in this district.

Several poles are down between Lucan and London. The printers and bankers stag ed a hockey game at the arena. The printers were reinforced and proved too much for the bankers. Families in the Thames Road district journeyed to church in sleigh-loads on Sunday when snow blocked the roads. The commun ity was without phone service or mail for a couple of days. A reduction in the price of auto licenses in Ontario for 1930, rang ing from .$4 to $11 on every set of markers, will mean a big sav ing to motorists in this district. The Santa Claus fund which reached nearly $100 was used to bring Christmas cheer to nume rous homes in the district. Jottings By J.M.S. 15 YEARS AGO Harvey Bros, grist mill has been sold to G. A.

Mr. Clarke stated that he had been treasurer of the township for 25 years and he mentioned the names of the reeves and coun cillors who have held office since that time. I thought this would make some interesting reading for my column as I have been a little lax in gathering other in formation over the holiday. Perfect Records One thing more remarkable than the 25 years that Mr. Clarke has held the office, is the fact that in that* 25 years the auditor has never had to change a figure in his work. I mentioned this to Mr. Clarke 'because I had heard it from one of the councillors. “I just had ail entrance edu cation’’, said Mr. Clarke, “but I did have some training at the Chatham Business College and then after taking on the treasur er’s job I received stfme excellent advice from the late H. K. Eilber and others” he said. “One of the best pieces of advice that I re ceived was to balance the books every month, and this I have fol lowed,” he stated. James Ballantyne When Mr. Clarke took office James Ballantyne was reeve and the councillors were George West cott, Benson Williams and Daniel Dew. Mr. Ballantyne, the only one of that council now living, resides in London. He was warden of Huron County and later was a member of the Ontario legisla ture. Following Mr. Ballantyne 'Geo. Westcott became reeve and he was followed by Percy Passmore, who in due time was made warden of the county. Next in order was Hugh Berry and he, too, became warden. For twenty years there were only four reeves. In 19 50 and 1951 Wellington Brock held the office and on his retirement Mr. Pin combe was elected ,by ac clamation and his name is now being mentioned as soon to be in line for the wardehship. Members of Council Members of the couh those years were: Peter Jack Hodgert, Clark Fisher, Tuckey, John Ballantyne, Gilbert Duncan, James Simpson, William Elleringtoh, Bruco Cooper, old Jeffery, Harold Hern. Mitchell and Clayton Smith. Mr. Mitchell is retiring and Hugh Love will take his place tor 1955. 1’ownsliip Officials There have been three town ship clerks in the last quarter of a century and tiro following of fl- given to mo by Mr. Clerks, Henry Strang, Morgan and II.
