Interesting Subject Wednesday evening last was Lad- ies' Night at the Howick Lions Club meeting in Wroxeter, which was • held in the United Church basenient— The 'local. Red Cross group catered for the dinner, the most aatractive decorations carrying out the color Scheme of the club. President Cloyne Michel presided. r and opened with the singing of the National Anthem, the invocation being given by Rev. 'G, K. Nohes, Tailtwister Ken Edgar, was the busiest man present, extracting many fines. He declared anyone not having something green ,, in celebration of Christmas must pay. Lion Walter Sawiell was made to. wear his hat all evening because he had bought it a bargain counter, Lions coming with- out their ladies were also fined, Be- cause Lion Harry Gowdy had a seat at the head table at the recent Feder- ation of Agriculture dinner, he was escorted to the head table and fined, Even the ladies didn't escape Lion Kens watchful eye, A guessing con- test was won by Mrs. V, Shera and Lion Roy Gadehe; Three new Lions were welcomed into the club, Lion Victor Shera, Lion Glenn Johnston, Lion Roy Caddie. Assisting in the program were Mr. and Mrs. Cad Douglas of Delmore, who sang two vocal duets, accompanied by Miss Mary Gibson. Mrs. D. S. MacNaugh- ton gave two readings, "The Little Grey Cottage" and' "A Parcel From Home". 4. Lion Mac McKenney introduced the speaker, Mr. A, H. Creighton, Super- intendent. of Colonization for the C.P.R. Lion Mac said there were three things he needed to make the introduction, first his notes, 2nd his glasses and 3rd a fine which we would surely need, Mr. Creighton, he said, was 'born near Sussex, New Bruns- wick, was a descendant of United Em- pire Loyalists, educated at public and high schools in N.B., finishing his edu- cation at Toronto. Everyone was amused when he said it had taken the speaker two days to come from To- ronto, but added he really had enjoyed it. Mr. \Creighton expressed his pleas- ure at being present to address the Lions and said he was :pleased to know they were interested in post-war plans. Though his address was for the most part on Huron County and Howick Township, he traced the imigration and colonization of this country 'from the coming of the first white man 500 years before Columbus discovered America. Then came 'Champlain with his exploration and the discovery of. Lake Huron in 1615. Then the com- ing of Missionaries the following year. Then the forming of Canada Company in 1824 under the• leadership of John Galt, an Englishman. Then came many from the Old Land and in 1851 North Huron was settled. The first settler in. Howick Township was John Carter, who settled lot 11, Con. 8. He came in by way of Molesworth stopping at the house of Andrew Mitchell. At Wallace-Grey Twp, line all semblance of a road ended and Mr. Carter made his way thrOugh the bush 10 miles. For over .2 years Mr. Mitchell's home was the neatest human habitation, For .supplies Mr. Carter went to Walkerton carrying them in a bag on his back, The second settler was Jacob- Cook, who came to lot 15, con. 3, and because of no road, Mr. Cook and family carried their effects PA their back, Other names familiar to many present were John Smith, lot 5, con. 4; John Donnelley-, Allen Ire- land, Greer Bros., who settled on the• sight now the village of Gorrie; John Sothern, Joel Rogers, W. G. Walker, Arthur Mitchell.- Henry Hollingshead built the first sawmill; first frame house was built by Mr. Joel Rogers, Mr. Mitchell was the first post master in the first P.O. established in 1855 -with mail once a week picked up at a point 18 miles distant About this time the first religious service was held in a home by a Weslyn ;Metho- dist Minister named 'Clark. Mrs; Greer organized a Sunday School at Gorrie. In 1854 the township became independent with the following offic- ers, Reeve, Henry Sinith;. councillors, Messrs Mitchell, Gaugh, Bolton, Hol- lingshead, John Wood, assessor. Wm. Wade first tax collector... Mr. Creighton stated that in 1941 95% of the persons in Huron were Canadian" born, 1694 from British Isles, 456 from U,S.A., 200 from othef countries. In 1941 the population was only half of that in 1881. Ashfield in 1941 had 1875, in 1881 had 4766. Mc- Killop in 1941 had 1686, in 1881 had 4046. Total population Huron in 1881 was 67,523, in 1942 was 43,742, This was partly due` to colonization of North West. Since 1931 the popula- tion of Huron has decreased 672. Average age of 15% of those engaged in Agriculture s 65. The speaker asked when these men are no longer able to carry on, who will take over? This decrease in population was a loss to businessmen, church and social life. He said it was a township problt n which wishful thinking would not solve, and advised letting others know what opportunities are here that those coming in may help make a strong rural population. The ,20th century belongs, to us'.. We live more than half of it to go. This IS our challenge, This is our day of oppoettinity. Lion Gordon Gibson expressed the Thanks of all to Mr, Creighton for his most interesting and informative ad- dress'. Lion Ebner Fattish expressed appreciation for those assisting in the program' and Lion Walter Sawtell thanked the ladies of the Bea Cross for providing a - good (linnet, Al ioirted in 0 Canada, and the meeting closed with the Lions Roar, United Cfn trek,XtnaS Party I Ptiday night, December 22fid, is the date for the Christmas patty and social Wingham Advance-Times Published at WINGHAIVI - ONTARIO Subscription Rate — One Year $2.00 Six months, $1.00 in advance To U.

They, with the exception of a few- who are home on Christmas leave, are fighting under conditions of weather that makes their task most difficult. We at at home are enjoying all the comforts of a country far removed from the battle front. We have reason under these circumstances to feel happy about things, but we should not forget that they, in the front line are counting on us for the tools of war, the finances to carry on the struggle—in other words they want us to keep up our investment in Victory. * * PEACE ON EARTH GOOD-WILL TO MEN I heard the bells 'on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
