History Is Published In Huron Brochure
BY W. E. ELLIOTT
GODERICH-When Huron
County was incorporated in
1841, courts were held in the
jail, first government building
in the Huron District, compris-
ing then the present counties of
Huron, Bruce and Perth. For
12 years the courtroom and
judge's chamber were on the
third floor, reached by a circu-
lar stair, but in 1853 the judges

of the Queen's Bench refused to
sit there and threatened to re-
move the courts elsewhere.
County council accepted an of-
fer by the Town of Goderich of
a site in "Market Square", and
a courthouse was erected in
1854-5 at a cost of $4, 000,
The original courtroom is now
the jail laundry.
The foregoing bit of county
history is one of many, equally
'interesting in a brochure, "Hu-
ron County Administration",
prepared by County Clerk John
G. Berry with co-operation of
departmental officials. Primar-
ily, it presents the story of Hu-
ron courthouse and the functions
of the offices contained therein,
as well as county organizations
elsewhere, such as the registry
office, Huronview, the mu-
seum, jail and Emergency Mea-
sures office. One reason for
production of the 25 -page
booklet is to inform students,
particularly of grades seven and
eight, who are often required
to submit essays on one feature
or another of county adminis-
tration,
There ismuch, however, of
interest to adult citizens. Here
is related the ancient British
tradition back of the office, du-
ties and garb of sheriff. Juris-
diction of the various courts is
outlined, and an adequate des-
cription is given of the Health
Unit's work and the activities
of the Children's Aid Society
and Library Co-operative. Rou-
tine of the clerk and his deputy
MRS. CHOPIN RETURNS
FROM MANITOBA TRIP
Mrs, M. Chopin reports that
while visiting her uncle's fami-
ly in Swan River, Manitoba,
she saw apples which had ripen-
ed in that town, She didn'tex-
petit to find any home-grown
fruit because the town is ap-
proximately 300 miles north of
Winnipeg.
Riding through the French
settlements near Dauphin, they
could see in the distance the
Riding Mountains and the Duck
Mountains. Incidentally, one
of the French explorers named
this city after the Dauphin of
France.
Mrs. Chopin says that al-
though it is interesting to see
all the birches, poplars, and
other trees growing in the North,
she prefers to settle for the
hard maples of this part of On-
tario, especially after hearing
an English lady say that she
hoped it hadn't rained too
much or they would have to go
the long way home to their
farm (even in August).

years of age.
Included in the Canadian
group was Jon Wallar, son of
Mr. and Mrs, Howard Wallar
of Waterloo and grandson of
Mrs. Mabel Hare, a former res-
ident of Wingham.
The Canadian youngsters are
all from Waterloo County where
the idea of the summer village
was born and where it has re-
ceived strong backing.
Waterloo County's tests for
selecting delegates are stiff.
School principals provide a list
of about 250 candidates, who
then write letters stating their
reasons for wanting to attend the
summer village. The letters
are studied and about 60 are
chosen. These are interviewed
by a three-man team and re-
duced to 20. The 20 appearin-
dividually before a group of
judges and give a speech on
their desire to attend, show
their ability at organizing oth-
ers in play and answer questions
on various subjects, chiefly in-
