In countless Canadian homes dry air
causes problems. To'solve such prob-
lems, all you need is -"comfort"! As
your gas company knows, comfort in-
volves more than just heat. It involves
humidity too. Here's how it works. Hu-
midity is the amount of moisture per
cubic foot -of air. When air is heated
it expands, along with the moisture it
contains. The result is less moisture per
cubic foot of air -therefore a lower
'relative humidity? The air becomes
thirsty and draws moisture from the
surroundings including your body.
When,moistu're evaporates from your
body, it takes heat away and you
feel cool.
You've probably heard how you
always feel cooler in a dry climate
than in a damp one. It's the same in
your home. When the humidity is re=
When you wake up -

duced, you feel cool. 'The family
complains and you turn up ',the ther-
mostat and pay a bi jg(iir heat bill.
Comfort is when °humidity and heat,.
are properly balanced. You feel �`'
neither too hot nor too cold. Modern
gas heating systems can give you the,
correct. comfort level automatically,
because gas heating controls humidity
as well as heat.
We'II help you achieve the proper
indoor climate in your home ... and
save you money doing it.

FILM DEVELOPING
Dr. James Scott of Seaforth
has written an account of the
"Settlement of Huron County"
and though sponsored by, , he
County Council, it has appea'r&i.
on the contemporary scene with.
little or no fanfare. The reason
is hard to find, for its content
and style are as different from
the several books written of
late an the Tract as sugar from
salt or acid from alkali.
Those who have'engaged with
the "Days of the Canada Com-
pany" and ended in •a state of
confusion, wi'l find Scott's ac-
count a smooth running stream,
akin 'to the Maitland or Bayfield
rivers. However, do not let us
be misunderstood. The "Days"
Es a most valuable document
and the succession of writers
who have paraphrased and quot-
ed it, to give, body to their
ow n limpid narratives and dila-
tory research, bears tribute to
its interesting and intimate de-
tails. Something for which we
of Huron, should. be most graate.-
ful. Nevertheless it is not well
arranged and those with ideas
on Centennial projects, which
begin and end with processions
and all the fleeting fun of the
fair, might well consider com-
ms$sioning a professional writer,
with a clear head, to edit it, and
above all, to provide' it with a'
200d reference index, followed
by a reprinting.

It is common knowledge that
from ' 1820 to 1840 the British
Isles were still enveloped in the
depression resultant on the
Napoleonic Wars. And whilst
these unemployment fraught
conditions undoubtedly moti-
vated the artizan, they vould
hardly have influenced the pub-
lisher . of the "New North
Briton."
Land -Owning Prestige
Those of us who lived through
the 'days of Lloyd George know
that by his mutilation of the
estates of the large land -owners,
he ushered in the welfare state,
his weapon being punitive taxa-
tion. In consequence we, per-
haps, have never appreciated
the prestige, the statusealue of
land-owning which pertained in
the 19th century. ,
To own land was envisaged as
a staunch and permanent an-
chor, which would "ensure the
continuity of the family. Jim
Scott makes it very clear that
the fascination of owning 50
acres as a minimum hypnotized
the upper middle classes to emi-
grate to where they might ac-
quire such possessions.
And so they began to arrive.
by New Yoi•k and Detroit and
by Montreal and Quebec. Few

knowledge of farming, still less
of the discipline :needed, until
an acreage was cleared and a
subsistence crop planted and
harvested. You have only to
.rea.dtheir _letters .`11om.e.5..to-.real•-
ize the privations of a first year
out here. Many were called but
few survived, Here is an extract
dated Feb. 8; -1833, from Gode-
rich
"Although it is a log house
of the worst description, as it .is
made of patches to suit the first
possessor and his family, if I
was to touch any part of the
outside walls, the whole would
ome'down about my ears. In the
course of ano't'her year we may
be able to pitch another tent
and convert the present .into a
byre or stable. rf we put our
foot on one end of the floor,
it is so positioned as to rise
and make a bow to you at the
ether: We have lived on pork,
at other times on Indian cern
and for a while there was
neither tea, coffee' or flour, so
we had potatoes to breakfast
and the same for every other
meal." Perhaps it is time to
count our blessings!
Pioneers! Oh Pioneers! !
As a small boy I was privi-
leged to be invited out from
England one . summer's school
holidays to an uncle, settled on
a slough bf the Fraser River.
The Allan liner sailed from
Liverpool for Quebec; where a
"Tourist" coach of the C.P.R.
was waiting, complete with wood
burning stove on the entrance
Gliding along then with Jim
Scott's easy style, you cannot
but feel what an advantage it
was that a son of Huron under-
took this work. For he uncon-
sciously endows it with an at-
mosphere of sympathy and
understanding--- .ane---of--great-
background knowledge, of an
agricultural county. Here you
feel is an author who- really
has roots in the soil of the
County and writes from the
heart.
Why Did They Come?
Another „reason for the at-
traction of this book lies in the
answer it provides to a question
which has eluded all previous
writers on Huron. Why did'suc:
cessful businessmen, well estab-
lished in Scotland and else-
where, suddenly decide to sell
up and emigrate to the Huron
1Fract?
Was it the golden tongue of
the "Tiger" which swayed
them? Were his persuasive pow -

Platform of the ear. 'Large wo•
men of Fred Earno's music hall
company would regularly staai
the water 1 had so laboriously
boiled before I could utilize it.,
It was amongst the male
performers of this :company that
a man named Charlie Chaplin
travelled.
I will pass over the stark
beauty of the Rockies; the music
of the locomotive ,whistle eclio-
ing on the snow -clad peaks; the
German immigrant ,singing "Oh
Tannenbaum," until we pulled
up at a whistle stop: De Roche,
P.O. The land was being cleared,
a home was building and pigs
were being reared. No mechani
cal aids for tree -stumping; no
water laid on to the piggery.
Now they were, comparatively,
in clover. Prior to, that: weeks
in a tent; a team drowned in
the slough; rain; mud. 'It was
not hard to decide thatpioneer-
ing was not for me, but then
that was seven halcyon years
before Thiepval and the Ypres
Salient, which once again satis-
fied my yearnings for the simple
life.
Before me, as t ,vrite, is
the "Day Book" of one of the
early Scots settlers here. In it
are inscribed the letters written
between 1827 and 1832, when
the owner was liquidating his
prosperous Edinburgh .business
and trying to obtain satisfaction
from his numerous debtors, To-
day we have hire-purchase. then
they had credit,; credit which
never seemed to be liquidated.
For anyone who has chanced.
on Huron, " just as for those
whose ancestors developed the
county, there is 'interest, nay
thrill, to read again tTie early
names. Just a ' few from the
Index to the book: Attrill, Bay-
field, Bedard, Bisset, Brewster,
Cantin, Carling, Colborne, C1in=
ton, De Tuyle, Dunlop, Fisher,
Galt, Gooding, Harhilton; Hayes,
Holmes, Horton, Hyndman,
Jones, Kippen, Lizars, Long-
worth, Macdonald, MacEwen,
Miller (Ben), Morris, Pryor. Rat-
tenbury, Rumball. Shannon,
Smith. Sparling, St r a c ha n,
Strickland, Talbot, ` Tu c k e r
'Smith, Van Egmond, Vanstone,
Wilkinson. Many more of course.
Some came and went; some only
left their names; some_ remain.
to this day.
The sum and substance of all
this really is that Jim Scott has
placed 'all those interested in
their county,' very much in his
debt. We should not forgot the
county councillors; not so Much
h
those of today, because this book
wascomrriissioned several years
ago. Rather to the councillors
who had the acumen, to chobse .
an ideal historian- and the px-e-
science to.finance the vast
amount of research and subse-
quent rationalization, this ac-
count entailed. -
To them our sincere thanks.
As for the book itself, here is a
fitting centennial gift you may
give yourself, those of you who
stay, dor as Jim Scott says: '
"Huron County is still basically
a place where people come to
stay,"
WHAT DO
WOMEN LIKE ?
By H. L. ,Baird
No one asks the question
more than the' auto makers -
and more so all the time.
By 1975 they will outnumber
male drivers in the United
States, according to a car mar-
keting survey made recently.
There will be 32.5 million wo-
men in the work force, 61) per.
cent of them married.
Women bought 34 . per cent
of a popular sports model car
in the pasta year and their pre-
ference made the compact fash-
ionable. More women drive to-
day than knit or sew.
What are women's tastes in
cars? As their driving experi-
ence piles up they are demand-
ing safety, reliability and good
service first and color and
styling to a lesser degree. Which
should help ., rmrakegme G. -ode -
rich husbands feel better about
their judgement in handling
the family car budget.
Human nature being what it
is, °women will always he
feminine and a little hazy an
technical points. But they get
"A for effort."
A woman's magazine recently
gave these technical definitidns
to its female readers; "Car-
buretor -A blender. Instead of
mixing flour and liquid into a'
batter before baking, the car-
buretor mixes air and gas so
it will burn properly; Oil Filter
-Acts like a vegetable strainer
but catches grit and sludge in-
stead; Exhaust System - A
vacuum cleaner for engine
' gases, but with a difference:
lit's quiet."
