Another small hamlet of' Morris
Township that has .disappeared
is .Sunshine on. concession :5, five
miles *PSG. of the Rruspels-Wrox,
eter road And_ two and a half Miles
east of the Clinton-Winilhani. road.
It is supposed that Sunshine was
founded about 1$55-6Q, In its flour-
ishing days .there was a 'Methodist.
Church, a table. and chair faetOry„
blacksmith shop, sawmill, shingle
.mill, post office, general- :stets and
a few houses.
The sawmill was .deirroliAlgcl`,.0y
fire in the '70's. It is reported" that
the chair factory, built by Paddy
Brown and later sold to. Isaac
Rogerson, was moved to the
farm of Robert Young now Elmer
Young's) on the $uri4iine sideroad
about 1900, and is a shed attaohea
to the barn, There was also an
Orange Lodge building, which is
said to have been .moved to :Oran
Russell's farm.
Miltie Watson was the 'postings
ter for several years and the pos
office was in his home. Mails were;
received Wednesdays and Satur-
days The post :office' was dis-
continued in 1923 when rural mai
delivery was inaugurated.
The Methodist Church became
the United Church of Canada in
1925 and Mr. Scobie was the first
minister' after union. The.•.Congre-
gation decided to join with the Bel-
grave United Church 'and the' Sun-
shine church was sold in 1927.

Steam Fire, Engines
Made in Brussels
An interesting account of one of
the largeSt industries in tile dis-
trict in 1879 is given iii' The Huron
County Atlas. It concerns 'the Brus-
sels Steam Fire Engine and. Agri-
cultural Works, owned by .J.; D.
Ronald, who came from Chatham,
We quote:
"The village having decided to
give a bonus of $20,000 to mr..Ron-
ald, in consideration of, his -estab-
lishing the works here, he accepted
the offer and removed into the
newly erected premises in January
of the present year., He had been
largely engaged in the manufacture
of fire steamers and the ,heavier
class of agricultural implements
for many years. • ,
"In company with anoth'er' gen-
tleman named Hyslop, he Was the
first to commence the, manufacture
of steam fire engines in Canada,'
or, at any rate, do so. with success.
It will be reineinbered 'that the
"Centennial" engine from the Chat-
ham works was the wonder and ad,
miration of hundreds' of thous-
ands who assembled during 1876,` to
inspect the treasure offerings of a
universe at the City Of Brotherly
Love. This engine was afterwards
purchased by the Town of Paris,
Ont.
"Another old-tiipe specialty of
Messrs, Hyslop arid Ronald was
their. separators. They were the

CANADA, it has' been 'said, is a country which
' k ' has policies favourable to 'inif5orters. First,,
I beca use Our customs tariff is Ow, with many
items on the free list., Secondly, . the rapid
• growths of the country is expanding" our home
market 'at a pace Canada never has known
before,
The steel industry here in Canada has expanded
somewhat faster than has the home market, so
that today Canadians 'need to import less of , most kinds Of steel than in earlier days.
On occasion, steel from other countries is sold
here at prices belp'iv. Canadian costs. This
occurs when there 'are prolonged or temporary,
surpluses elsewhere. But 'a pickup in , demand
in the exporting country 'reduces or extinguishes. -
these external sources of supply. (
That is why, year in and,year out, the Canadian
producer is" the most reliable:source of supply,
