Central Huron Secondary School Prin- cipal J.L. Wooden was the guest speaker and traced the history of the first settlers from Quebec to the Huron District in 1846. Three men with surnames of Gelinas, Bedard and Durand came to this area in 1830 and convinced a number of families to move to the wilderness of Huron County. They came by boat from Montreal to Hamilton and from there walked to Strat- ford, a trip that took two weeks.. Mostcame because of poverty in Quebec. In 1846, the Huron district population was only 8,000: Now it stands` at about 55,000. Mr. Wooden said French eanadians are not as identifiable as they once were. He ad ded, "I don't know of very many under the age .qf 50 years who speak their original language." He continued, "Now the most identifiable ethnic group is the Dutch. But, these iden- tifications have a tendency to break down." Narcisse Cantin was known as the characters in the establishment of the com- munity of St. Joseph. He came to the Lake Huron settlement in 1890 and dreamed up a variety of schemes which never became a reality. These included building a canal from Port Burwell to St. Joseph to take advantage of an underground waterway which be believ- ed existed. Mr. Cantin had laid out pians for a large St. Joseph community. He built a spacious hotel, but, Wooden said it never actually opened. The only part of the hotel completed was an 80 foot long bar to which he brought prospective investors in his projects. Mr. Wooden's summation of Narcisse Cantin was, "He was a real promoter, but, none of his dreams ever became reality.

Napoleon Cantin, a son of Narcisse, spends his summers at St. Joseph and is pleased to show his museum to visitors. When speaking of Huron's present popula- tion Mr. Wooden said, "Close to 20 percent of. our town and village residents are over the age of 65. The provincial average is nine percent." According to. Mr. Wooden, English Canada has retained a close relationship with its source, but French Canadians cast their's aside early. That makes them quite different. They are really more North American than most Huron's ethnic ties are reflected in place and family names. Wooden said most of the ethnic patterns have been all but obliterated by mass culture. He referred to the Devon and Cornwall speech patterns in the Exeter area and German speaking in and around Dashwood which have virtually disappeared.
