Goderich Fortunate
Professor Careless stated that
Huron County in general and
Goderich in particular was- for-
tunate to have ,associated with
its early development such an
historical figure as "Tiger" Dun-
lop. In commending. the re-
membratice, .he said, "People.
who do not consider their past -
will care little for their future.
That is why it is well Doi e-
mem'ber today !Huron's pd t in
a world that is 'becoming rather
ruthless; an individual .who
ignores his past is likely to be -
carne _ruthless ...in..the . future,"
He pointed out also that the

in a tangible. ,way," said Pro-
fessor James Scott at the open-
ing of his address. Pointing to
the cairn, he said; 'Whether
there was a' stone or a, plaque
here or not, 'Dunlop's contribu-
tions will live on for he was
a man with 'a combination of
head and heart which was truly
great." •
Professor Scott spoke of Dune
lop as an .adventurer, "because
he was not afraid to -go out into
the great unknown"; a man with
great appreciation for "the good
earth from which our susten-
ance comes and who said on
seeing Huron County for the
first time, "This is where I want
to live and die"; a man of kind-
liness ,Waith. -a great capacity to
help the less fortunate.1

Harbor Hill, the column read
that the.G.H.S. decided to spend

The qualities that fitted Dr.
Dunlop to be a picneer when
the Huron tract was opened did
riot belong to him exclusively,
Professor Scott said. "He is
merely the prototype of the
kind of pioneer who came into.

.honor William Dunlop and Cap-
tain Robert Dunlop, rwe are not
just honoring these brothers,
but all _ the pioneers ofour

and carve a good 'life out of
