Rev. Michael J. Dalton may have been • the oldest Catholic priest in Canada, the Diocese of London said. In a 2004 interview with The London Free Press, Dalton was asked the secret to his longevity. "God only knows," he replied with a twinkle in his eyes. Born May 5, 1902, near Goderich, Dalton was one of 10 children. He was ordained as a priest on May 21, 1932. In 1939 he became a chaplain with the Essex Scottish Regiment and served with them in England, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. The Essex Scottish was part of the ill-fated Dieppe invasion, suffering ex- treme casualties. Of the 558 soldiers. from the regiment who hit the beach only 44 returned. • Though Dalton wasn't part of the landing, he had the job of writing to soldiers' families, notifying them of their deaths. The Diocese of London archives has a photo of Dalton offering mass on the hood of a jeep two days before the D - Day invasion. on June 6, 1944. Three times during his overseas ser- vice Dalton was hit by shrapnel, twice while travelling in a jeep. Dalton received the Military Cross for his bravery and service and was made a Member of the Order of the British Em- pire by King George VI in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 1943. He was the first, Catholic priest to receive the recognition. Dalton's parish assignments in Ontar- io have included Holy Name of Mary, Windsor, St. Alphonsus, Windsor, Most Precious Blood, Windsor, St. John the Evangelist, Woodslee, and St. John de Brebeuf and Companions, Kingsville. In 1967, Dalton was named Veteran of the Year and Citizen of the Year by the City of Windsor. In 2001, the City of London created Father Dalton Drive in honour of his war service. Dalton retired in 1970, but continued to serve as chaplain to the Sacred Heart Sisters in Courtland, near Tillsonburg. He lived at a retirement home in Court- land until his death. 4 I e, . • 1 1, Goderich Signal -Star, Wednesday, April 15, 2009 - Page A17 Ontario Commission Energy de I'8nergie Board de i'Ontario NOTICE OF APPLICATION UNION GAS LIMITED LICENCE TO DRILL 5 WELLS WITHIN THE TIPPERARY POOLS IN THE TOWNSHIP OF GODERICH, COUNTY OF HURON Union Gas Limited (the "Applicant" or "Union") has filed an application dated March 6, 2009 for well drilling licenses with the Minister of Natural Resources and these have been referred to the Ontario Energy Board, (the "Board"), pursuant to section 40 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O.1998, c.15 (Schedule B).
