'For Being Up To Date
Getting credit froni overseas
%visitors for our modern way of
life is neither new nor surprising
to Canadians. But when our own
hard -beaded bankers, give us
credit for it, that's news!
This is exactly what they are
doing, according to the C dian
Institute of Plumbing and Heat-
ing. Through Home Improvement
Loans, banks are giving owners
of older houses the kind of credit
that enables them to bring their
homes up to date in the most,
practical way, Amounting in
some instances to as much as
$87500, with interest at only Sir.°i',
the loans may be paid back .on
easy installments over periods

Devon Corner Settlement
First Stephen Post Village
The first settlers coming to
this community had a choice of
two routes. One was by the Hu-
ron Road, now No. 8 Highway,
first traversed in the spring of
1827 from the township of Wil-
mot on the easterly boundary of
the Huron District to Lake Hu-
ron by Tiger Dunlop and his
axemen. By December of the
next year a. sleigh track had been
opened and taverns were being
erected along this road. The
other route was by London and
north on the Proof Line Road,
now No. 4 Highway.
In 1829 a survey was started
to connect the Huron Road with
the Proof Line Road. The re-,
sult was a road running south
from the present site of Clinton
and by December 1823 there was
a sleigh track open from Lon-
don to Clinton.
London Road
Rev. William Proudfoot in his
diary, written in February 124
years ago, describes his jour-
ney over this road. Leaving Lon-
don in the morning'with a sleigh
and two horses, he and a com-
panion and a driver had their
noon meal at William McCon-
nell's Tavern near Elginfield and
between seven and eight o'clock'
that evening they reached Mc-

son' of William McConnell) where
they had supper and spent the

built by the Canada Company to
accomodate travellers and was
located on the Usborne side near
where the London Road crosses
the Ausable River (Exeter
North). Rev. Proudfoot says of
the inn: "It is the most wretched
place I have ever put a night
in. ' The logs are not wellbuilt,
the interstices are very careless-
ly • filled in and the wind finds
the
way between the logs and te
door did not fit by at least three
or four inches."
Describing . the country, he
says: "There is a' general indi-
cation of excellent soil., trees
being chiefly maple, elm, oak,
ironwood, and black ash. From

the black settlement (between
Lucan and the Little Ausable)
there is no dwelling with the ex-
ception of one about a mile dis-
tant from McConnell's." This no
doubt was the shanty erected
by James Willis who is reputed
"to have arrived in 1832 and taken
up land on the Usborne side.
He also states that the Can-
ada Company had driven' in mile
posts which were a great com-
fort for travellers in this dreary
legion. The road is cut straight
as a line for many miles. In des-
cribing the dwellings near Lon-
don and Goderich, he says:
"They aresimple shanties in
which may live those who are
tired with hard labour, but
houses having fewer convenien-
ces I have never seen."
First Settlers
The first comers, took up land
along the, London Road in 1833
where the original surveys were
laid out with ranges of 100 acres
on either side. In 1939 a main
road was constructed along the
boundary between Hay and Ste-
phen including a bridge over the
Ausable River costing 505 pounds.
In the 1840's the present Blue
Water Highway was opened up
and London Road was partly
planked, Thus the township was
gradually being opened up for
settlers.
In the 1840's the, Canada Com-
pany begana system of leases
whereby the immigrants could
lease the land for 10 years with
the option of buying, and by 1854
much of the land, with the ex-
eeption of the swamp areas, had
'been taken up.,

Canadian home owners have
taken such full advantage of
these loans since their author-
ization by tre federal govern.
Anent_ last year that new regale.
tions have recently been affect-
ed broadening the scope of the
scheme and making much more
liberal. terms available,
This means possible modern-
ization in its broadest sense.)
Much of the old-fashioned "gin-
gerbread" .can be stripped from
the house revealing, probably
for the first time,' its true archi-
tectural. simplicity. The instal.
lation of a new heating system
not only brings the healthful
comfort of a well -regulated and
often air, -conditioned warmth., in
winter -time, but does. it without
the back -breaking work the old
"furnace" demanded,
What's more, it opens up other
possibilities. The new heating
plant is so compact, so easily
serviced and so attractive in ap-
pearance that its presence in the
basement makes it possible to
convert this formerly wasted
space into a play -room, party
den, -'hobby centre, . "rock'n'roll
rendezvous" or what you will.
Upstairs, the living room wall
may be knocked out to make
room for a picture window with-
out fear that winter's frost will
prove too much for the poor old
radiator.
Kitchens and bathrooms are
also primary projects in renova-
tion, for what housewife doesn't
yearn for modern work -saving
kitchen, and for • the kind of
bathroom she can be proud to
own. Here, fortune favours the
renovator. In most cases, the
basic piping system of the house,
in spite of years of service, is
stili in perfectly sound condition.
,The m,ost•modern kitchen sinks
equipped with such refinements
as mixer -type faucets, 'swivel
nozzles , and retractable hose
sprays, can be: connected• up
without fear of future troubles.
And there is.'no'need'to replace
piping to install that `"Holly-
wood" bathroom one drools over
in the "home beautiful" maga-
zines.
So "take credit"'for'having. an
up-to-date. home, as thousands
of Canadians are already doing.
The beauty of it is that this
money spent on the home still
represents savings, because a
modernized home is a much
more valuable piece of property
than 'an old-fashioned one.
