For Murray Gaunt Laughter and love BY MARGARETARBUCKLE It was a•night for laughter and reminiscing last Thursday when nearly 1,300 people turned out to pay tribute to Murray Gaunt for his many years as MPP for Huron -Bruce. •Huron -Bruce Liberal Association President John McKenzie of Tiverton,who acted as chairman for the appreciation night ceremonies in Teeswater, said Ale,, attendance showed Mr, Gaunt what the people of Huron -Bruce really think of him. Mr. Gaunt told the gather- ing of ather-ing.of friends, former col- leagues ::and staff he was overwhelmed by the large crowd He had not been in fever of the event, he said, because "T owe the people`of' H .I Bruce Much more thel'ON'"=�thidT' still feel that way. He said the evening brought back memories • from bus ,political careers: the night hi 1962 when he won a keenly Contested Liberal nomination; his first elec- toral' win in the 1962 by- election and 10 months later when he won his second elec- tion by only 28 votes after the official.recount. He thanked the people of Huron Bruce for the .oppor- tunityto serve and represent them Eor 19 years and said that 'helping people made it He`said his political career withe e the highlight of his Mr; Gaunt. expressed sincere. appreciation for the 'gifts he and his family were given that night on behalf of the people of Huron -Bruce: the gold chains for his son and daughter, Stephen and . Stephanie; the family ring for his wife, Pat; and the man's diamond ring which was presented to him. The family also received a gold mantel clock with musical chimes. Many of Mr. Gaunt's friends and former col- leagues from Queen's Park attended to pay tribute. Most had amusing anecdotes to tell about, "the max with the heartiest laugh in the House", but all honored his dedication and selflessness. ' Eddie Sargent, member for Grey -Bruce, said he had "never met a man who didn't like Murray Gaunt" and, "You can't hope to change the whole world, but you can change that small corner upon which you live." He said Mr. Gaunt had done that. Bob McKessock, provin- cial member for Grey, told the crowd that with Mr. Gaunt there were no excuses and there is not a selfish bone in his body". He added that the constituents of Huron -Bruce "couldn't have done a better job of replac- ing Murray", saying that, Murray Elston is proving to be equally friendly and helpful at Queen's Park. .Jack Riddell, Huron- MiddIesex MPP, said Mr. Gaunt "has a pair of shoes anyone would like to follow (in)". l Provincial Treasurer Frank Miller said "a govern- ment is only as good as the people you elect," and the people of Huron -Bruce were lucky to have a man of Mr. Gaunt's calibre to represent them. Liberal Leader Stuart • Smith said Mr. Gaunt was always respected in the House for his "advice, views, humanity and sense of what was right for peo- ple". Dr. Smith said Mr. Gaunt is genuinely a product of his fellow citizens and com- munity and is missed greatly in the caucus and in the Legislature. Murray Elson, MPP for Huron -Bruce, introduced several other dignitaries on hand to show their apprecia- tion. Among them were former Liberal Leader Bob Nixon; David Peterson, MPP for London -Centre; Hugh Edighoffer, MPP for Perth; Murray Cardiff, MP for. Huron -Bruce; and former MP, Bob McKinley.. Many letters and telegrams of congratulations to Mr. Gaunt were received. Among them was a letter from the Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau and a fram- ed scroll from federal agriculture minister, Eugene Whelan. Auburn native heads county board Auburn native F.S. (Stewart) Toll for the past four years the assistant director of education for the Middlesex County Board of Education, was selected recently as its new director. He is to replace John Gununow, retiring in June after 12 years in the position. Howard McLean, /trustee from Ekfrid Township and chairman of the board, said he is happy to have Mr. Toll as its new director.' "We received some excellent applications", he said, "and by advertising outside for the position, we know we have the top person in Ontario for the job. The board received a total of 12 applications which they pared to a short list of four. Prior to the position of assistant director, during which time Mr. Toll also served as president of the Ontario Association of Education Administration Officials (1979.80), he was president of the London Council for Exceptional Children (1976-77). He was supervisor of development and special education in 1970, and was appointed area superintendent of the board in 1969. Before coming to London Mr. Toll was a member of the Canadian in-service team at the Kenya Institute in East Africa from 1966-68. Previous to his overseas post, he was a master at Windsor Teachers' College and an educator at both the elementary and secondary school level, in his native Huron County. Mr. Toll received. his Masters of Education degree from the University of Toronto, and undergraduate degrees from both McMaster University and Toronto Teachers' College. The director -elect, 47, will assume his $57,000 a year position with a five-year, renewable contract. Mr. Toll said he is looking forward to the job and is excited and pleased at the prospect. However "It will be most difficult following in John Gummow's footsteps," he said. Concerning the likellhood of an amalgamation between the boards pf Middlesex County and London, Mr. Toll said his contacts with the Minister of Education and senior ministry officials would not indicate any such possibility.
