the splendid co-operation he had re-

al society this year is the sending of
food parcels to Canadian, British and
Empire prisoners of war in Europe
and Far East, It is necessary, too, to
provide medical, hospital supplies as
well in all theatres of war. These
alone required over five and one half
million during 1948. As the work of
the Canadian ,Red Cross reaches into
ari ever-widening field, it means that
we at home must increase our efforts
in every way to see that the needs
of the -national body are met.

it was settled and particularly the
community roundabout here, In te-
lating the early pioneers, the first be-
ing John Carter in the year 1851. In
1847 a line had been surveyed through
the township on what is now highway
86. However it was in 1854 that the
greatest influx of settlers came into
Howick, when the Greer brothers
came along with the Leech, Strong,
Danes, Maguires and many other
families, whose families have remain-
ed in the communuity. Leechville was
the name Gorrie was given in those
days and in 1879 the list of business
establishments were, 3 general stores,
1 hardware, 2 tin and stove, one bodle
and stationery, 1 druug, 1 jewellry
store, 1 grocery, 1 shoestore, 2 sad-
dlery shops, 2 tailors, 2 barber shops,
2 blacksmith, carriage and carpenter
shops, 2 photographers, express office,
2 telegraph offices, livery stable, 3
hotels, school with 2 teachers, 3
churches, — Baptist, Episcopal and
Methodist, one weekly newspaper, I.O.

mill which could boast of 60 ox teams
being lined up at one time, flour mill,
2 saw mills, a 'custom foundry, steam

kilns, one pork packing business and
a tannery.
Today we only have a fraction of
the business and the township's popu-
lation has diminished from 5000' to
about 3000 today. Fordwich, then
known as Lzadel and was surveyed
for a city, Wroxeter, both have smaller
populations. At the close of her ad-

facts into our minds.

gram in itself, when all present re-
plied with a verse from memory,

out the motto in deeds and not words
only the results would be happiness

clude Harold Durst. Let's get out to
these gaineS and support our boys, who
really play a heads-up game of hockey.
