A MERRY CHRISTMAS It would be very remiss on our part this week if we did not take this op- Dortunity to extend Christmas Greet-, ings to our many readers. Last year ;we said in this column that it was a 'more hopeful' Christmas. This year -we can repeat it is a more hopeful Christmas. Our armies are locked in combat with the enemy but they have shade great advances driving the Hun back into his own home territory. The struggle is, a. grim one for our-boys but we at home can count on them 40110111111010MMOV.11.101•1•1•••=1110••••11.111.1•1•10. beating the enemy. '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!' A'nd in dispair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said. "For hate is strong And -mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep "God is not dead; nor doth He sleep! The Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men." --Longfellow WROXETER History Of Huron Interesting Subject Wednesday evening last was Lad- ies' Night at the Howick Lions Club meeting in Wroxeter, which was held in the United Church basement. 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 and opened with the singing of the National Anthem, the invocation being given by Rev. G. K. Nobes. 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 Sawtell was made to wear his hat all 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 nearest 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 on 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 Smith; councillors, Messrs Mitchell, Gough, Bolton, Hol- lingshead, John Wood, assessor, 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 other countries. In 1041 the population was only half of that in 1881. Ashfield in 1941 had 1875, in 1881 hdd 4'166. Mc- Killop in 1941 had 1688, 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 1081 the popula- tion of Huron has decreased 672, Average age of 15% of those engaged in Agriculture As 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, Ile said it was a township ;problem which wishful thinking would not solve, and advised letting others know what opportunities arc here that those coming in may help make a strong rural poPulation. "The nth century belongs to us. We have more than half of it to go. This is our challenge, This is our clay of opportithity. Lion Gordon Gibson expressed the thanks of all to Mr, Creighton for his most interesting and informative ad- dress, Lion Inner Fattish expressed appreciation for those assisting in the program- and Lion Walter Saw-telt thanked the ladies of the Red Cross for providing a good dinner,. All joined in 0 Canada, and the meeting closed with the Lions Roar. tt United Church XMAS Patty Priday night, Deeetahet 2nd, is the ,date for the Christmas patty and soda Ontario's TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR CO-OPERATIVE .

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.
