This plaque is one of a series being erected throughout the province by the Historical and Museums Branch, Ministry of Colleges and Universities, acting on the advice of the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario, Sunday's ceremony is being arranged and sponsored by the Zurich village council and Reeve J. M. Turkheim will act as programme chairman. Others expected to take part include: Mr. J. Hoffman, Reeve of Hay Township; Mr. A. McKinley, Reeve of Stanley Township; Mr. J. K. Riddell, M.P.P. (Huron); Mr. R. E. McKinley, M.P. (Huron); and Leslie Gray of London who will represent the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario. The plaque will be unveiled by Mr. James McAllister, a lifelong resident of Hay Township, and will be dedicated by Reverend A. C. BlaCkwell, Lutheran Pastor of Zurich, and Father A. Durand of 7.ttrieh The son of a Htit-on County farmer, Willison was born near Hills Green Huron County on November 9, 1856. In 1881 he joined the staff of the "London Advertiser", and two years later he joined the "Toronto Globe". In 1890 he was appointed chief editor of this newspaper, regarded by most at the turn of the century as the most influential organ of Liberalism in Canada. In 1902, however, he resigned from the "Globe", claiming ,"In fact, party journalism meant for me simply a succession of quarrels and at last I withdrew." A year earlier (January 29, 1901), he had written to his friend Clifford Sifton, Minister of the Interior, resenting "the assumption of every Liberal politician that I am his hired man . . .". He admitted that , . . "I am a Liberal and the Globe is a Liberal paper but it seems to me that under the circumstances a USED CARS 1967 CHEV IMPALA 4- door hardtop, automatic, radio, power steering and power brakes, 1969 FORD FAIRLANE Convertible, V-8 automatic, radio, red with white top and interior.

From 1902 to 1917 he edited the independent "Toronto Daily News" and served as well as the Canadian correspondent for the London "Times". It may be that he treasured this connection with a newspaper he seems to have viewed as the model of indep- endent journalism. In an early message to the readers of the "News" he insisted: "The party press has its own field of service and we cannot think that a legitimate alliance with a political organization is by any means a contemptible connection. Some of the best journals in the world maintain such a connection with self- respect, dignity and to the distinct advantage of the people. Such journals as the New York "Post" , . , and the "London By MRS. HEBER DAVIS Mrs. Hugh Davis gave her home Tuesday for a special A.C.W. meeting to make plans for upcoming events including a booth at the Lucan trade fair, an early September wedding and a chicken barbecue September 21.

Despite this striving for in- dependence, Willison moved more and more into open support of the Conservatives. His op- position to the building of a new transcontinental railway, his objection of the provision for separate schools in the Autonomy Bills for the creation of the new provinces of Alberta and Saskatechewan, and his intense disapproval of Laurier's coolness to the idea of Imperial Federation alienated him from his erstwhile allies. His uneasiness at what he regarded as the unethical practices of some Ontario Liberal politicians further underscored this dissatisfaction. The result was that in the election of 1911 he openly supported the Con- servatives. Willison was knighted in 1913. As he saw it the title was con- ferred on him because ". . it was desired to honour journalism in the Dominion and I was selected as the medium through which the desire of the Crown should take effect". His con- tributions included The Railway Question in Canada (1897); The New Canada (1912); Lessons From the Old World. His major work, however, was a sympathetic biography of Sir Wilfred Laurier entitled Sir Wilfred Laurier and the Liberal Party: A Political History, first published in 1903. In 1925 he founded "Willison's Monthly", a national magazine devoted to the discussion of public affairs af- fecting Canada and the Empire. It was edited by his son until it ceased publication in 1929, He died on May 27, 1927, in Toronto. A biographer wrote, with a great deal of justification: "There isiscarcely a parallel in the political annals of Canada to the silent authority he wielded in politics, in social legislation and in constitutional discussions." The day after his death, the "Times" wrote: "A distinguished figure in Canadian journalism, he was not only intimately versed in the changing problems of his native Dominion, but his adept sense of the community of British in- terests throughout the Empire enabled him to write of Canadian affairs with a detachment and By MISS ELLA IVIORLOCK CREDITON Mr. & Mrs. Nelson Lamport have returned from a six-week tour of the Maritimes in their camper truck.
