Bob Hetherington: Walks In A lawyer; Emerges A Judge
October '15 was a big day in
the life of Robert S. Hethering-
ton, Colborne Township native,
and graduate. of Goderich
schools.
He walked into Huron County
Court House here a lawyer.
He emerged' .a jndge.
The new Huron County judge.
was born in Co-iborne Township
in 1908, a son of Isaac 'and Jane
McIntosh Hetherington.
His mother, a native of Ash.
'icld Township, was 'the first
teacher in the Union School sec-
tion at Nile 'cornier -a school
still in use. Judge Hethering-
ton attended that school in his
grade school years,
In 1926, he was graduated
from Goderich -Collegiate, then
located in the building which
now houses Victor Lauriston
school.
Ile then matriculated in Tor-
onto's Osgoode Hall Law School,
and was' graduated from law
school in 1931. He was called
to the bar the same year. ,
He established a private law
practice in Wingham—a prac-
tice which was to last for 33
years in the same community.
He first entered public life
as a Wingham, town councillor,
a post to `which he was elected
in 1936. He. was Reeve of the
town of Wingham in T939-40-41.
In 1941, he entered the ,,service,
and was named commander of
the 99th batte , Royal Canad-
ian Artillery. was with ,the
first wave of Canadians to land
on St.' Aubin-Sur-Mere beach
-on D -Day and was in .the thick
of the fight for France and, fin-
ally, ,Germany. He was in ac-
tive combat from the date of
the June 6 landings until the
war ended May 4, 1945. For
his war -time exploits, he was
made a me,mber of the Order
of the British Empire and was
awarded the. Efficiency Decor.
ation.
Back To Wingham-
In January of 1946 he estab-
lished' a law partnership with
Wingham Lawyer Harley Craw-
ford. In the fall of 1961 he re-
turned to public service as the
elected mayor of Wingham. In
early October, after being narn-
ed to' the bench, he resigned as
Wingham mayor.
Legal Philosophy
Judge Hetherington believes
that courts"not only should dis-
pense justice and enforce law
but also protect individual
rights.
He summed up:
"Laws in any county are
made by the people themselves
in order that they can regulate
conduct within the community
without. resort ,to violence. It
is the serious duty of the judge
not only to enforce 'the law but
to protect the rights of individ-
ual citizens. Of course, the
court must also act to.' protect
society against offenses that im-
peril it." . -
Judge Hetherington ' and his
wife, the former Louise Thomp-
son of Wingham, are the par-
•
ents of four: Ian, 26,,„,a flight
lieutenant in the Royal Can-
adian Air 'Force, now sattioned
in France; Roy, 24, a civil en-
gineer working wi,t'hl IBM; fine,
21, , now in her final year at
Western Ontario University, and
Barbara, 13, a Wingham student.
Judge' Hetherington is a
member of the United 'C'hurch
of Canada. He is a 'past master
of the Wingham Masonic Lodge,
a past president of the Wing-
hantLions•Club, and a member
of the Royal Canadian ,Legion.
