Historical Sketches OF THE COUNTY OF HURON H — Political History (cont'd.) This is the fifth of a series of historical articles on the County of Huron and the local municipalities in this area, taken from "Historical Atlas of Hur- on County," published in 1879. Early "Gerrymander" By the census of 1871, Huron was found to contain sufficient population to entitle the county to three members in the Com- mons; and the manner in which it was "gerrymandered" in order to secure the return of Conserv- ative members from the North end South Ridings respectively (it being divided into North, Centre, and South Ridings), provoked much criticism both in the House and the country at large; end Mr. Rymal, the hum- ourous member for Wentworth, in the course of a characteristic speech in the House, displayed the map of the county as it was proposed to divide it, and de- clared that to worship it would not be at all inconsistent with orthodoxy, since it bore no re- semblance to "anything in the heavens above or the earth ben- eath." It was equal to Mark Twain's map of Paris„ es there was "nothing like it in the Vat- ican." The county was divided as pro- posed, however, and at the elect- ion in 1872 Mr. Farrow was again elected for the North Riding; this time over Mr. Somerville. who ran in the Liberal interest. In the Centre, Mr. Horace Hort- on, Reformer, was elected over Mr. Whitehead, who ran as an Independent; while in the South, the election of Mr. M. C. Camer- on over Mr. Greenway, the Con- servative nominee, proved that the disciples of Gerryman had reckoned without their host. In 1874 Mr. Farrow defeated Dr. Sloan of Blyth in the North Riding; Mr. Greenway was elect- ed by acclamation in the South; and Mr. Horton defeated Mr. Chris Crabb in the Centre. In 1878 Mr. Farrow was again elected in the North, defeating Dr. Sloan the second time; in the Centre, Mr. Horton defeated Mr. Samuel Platt, the Conservative candid- ate; and in the South, Mr. Cam- eron was elected in opposition to Mr. Porter, who ran as an ad- vocate of "Protection". Mr. Horton resigned his seat soon after the election, however, and the Liberals selected as their candidate to fill the vacancy the Hon. R. J. Cartwright, who was opposed by Mr. Platt, but elect- ed by a good majority. Ontario Legislature ,The Ontario Legislature was created by the "British North America Act," the same which called the Dominion into exist- ence, and Huron became entitled to two representives in this body also.

E. A. Townsend, Canad- ian Missionary in China for many years, a native of this district, and The NEWSLRECORD'S far- thest ' distant subscriber, has written the following letter from Box 128, Hong Kong, China, under date of August 6; it was received in Clinton August 20. Enclosed find cheque to' cover another year's subscription to The NEWS -RECORD. I am sorry to be a little late in sending it, but I have not been late very often in over thirty years. I have received one copy since the change of address, the issue of June 9th, It was the first one to reach me since the issue of March 10. There is little hope the others will get through now since Changteh and Changsha have fallen. A letter from a friend in the post office at Changteh, written July 21, said a lot of Canadian papers came in that day for others in our mission, but my papers go to Ansiang, which would take six days longer there and back to Changteh, and in the meantime the Reds took over. Hope they enjoy the papers as much as I would have. They'll find a lot of good reading in them The big event of this week. here, was welcoming back the "Amethyst" to her home port, You may have w,ead something about it in the home papers, as it seems to have been given wide publicity. It rained very heav- ily all morning, so we were con- tent to watch operations from our window, which is a short distance from the naval pier• Quite a large fleet of motor boats, tugs, launches end a ferry boat went out to meet her, and it was quite impressive to see her steaming proudly into port, foll- owed by this large "brood". It begins to look very much as tho' we will be returning home soon, but nothing has been decid- ed as yet. Hope a few more papers will get through, but sur- face mail is very slow from Can- ada, as few boats seem to carry Canadian avail as you will real- ise when it is almost two months since the last issue. Air mail takes about a week. Sailing For Home The NEWS -RECORD yesterday received another letter from Rev. E. A. Townsend from 22 Hennessy Road, Hong Kong, under date of August 17; Kindly hold my papers at your office until further notice. I ex- pect to sail for London, England, on September 2nd, so do not know just when I will reach Canada, as passage has not yet been booked from there to Can- ada. I am due to arrive in Lon- don October 3rd. I am glad to be able to tell back u that of The CLINTON NEWS -RECORD a few days ago. Clinton Citizens' Band Proves Popular Group Under the baton of Bandmaster Frank Strathearn, Clinton Citi- zens' Band presented a very fine concert in Library Park on Monday of last week. The band displayed, quite effectively, the wide variety of music which it has in its repertoire. There was a good attendance of citizens to hear this concert, Recent engagements of the band include the bend tattoo at Kirkton, sponsored by the Wood- ham Fife and Drum Band, on Tuesday evening when Clinton Band was the featured band. An- other popular concert will be given in Library Park on Sun- day evening, August 28. Returning From Trip Sees Garden Stripped (By our Hensall correspondent) Frank Mousseau, who resides two miles west of Hensall, High- way 83, end who has a market garden, was very surprised Sun- day upon returning home about 7 p.m., to see a man helping himself to his vegetables. Mr. Mousseau who has had considerabl trouble before with thieves stealing from his garden, decided it was about time to take action. He called provincial Constables Jack Ferguson and E. Zimmerman, who investigated. The man was a London resident and tie charges have been laid as yet. Mr. Mousseau was accompanied by his son Wilfred and daughter Margaret, and were returning from a car trip. --- • Suffers Bad Injuries In Fall From Tractor Bruce Walker, son of M¢. and Mrs. Norman.

Work commenced on the river hill on Monday and finished at Clan Gregor Square on Tues- day. George McLean sent a bull- dozer to fill in the open drain on Tuesday evening. The ditching, together with the preliminary spraying of oily tar put on the road, made a bit of a mess on Main Street but we are looking forward to the time when the asphalt topping is complet- ed.

STANLEY COUPLE MARK GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY A gala day in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Stewart, Stanley Township, was Saturday, August 20, when friends and neighbours gathered to help celebrate the golden wedding of this esteemed couple. The house was decorated with a profusion of gladioli and roses with gold predominating, and re- ceiving with Mr. and Mrs. Stew- art were the former's cousin and the latter's sister, Mr. and Mrs. John McFarlane, Sr. The tea table, which was cov- ered with a lovely hand -wrought linen cloth, was centred with a tiered cake frosted in white and yellow, and flanking it were low bowls of yellow flowers and tall yellow tapers. Pouring tea were Mrs. Ed C. Glen in a grey en- semble, the hat trinuned with three green feathers, and Miss Mary R. Stewart in a navy frock with hat to match. Later, they were replaced by Mrs. G. M. El- liot in all black, her off -the face hat of satin, and Mrs. H. A. Stew- art in printed sheer and a brim- med hat with feathers. Assist- ants were Mrs. John McGregor, Mrs. Robert Cole, Jr., Miss Lil- lian Daymand, Mrs. W. D Spear, Misses Kate and Margaret Mc- Gregor and Mrs. Malcolm Mc- Farlane. The occasion was made hap- pier by the presence of the hon- oured couple's children and grandchildren: Mr. and Mrs. Francis Dayrnond and sons, Stewart, Donald and Douglas, Chatham; Mr. and Mrs. Don Wil- son end children, Tens and Don - Adam, Biloxi, Miss.; Miss Helen (Billie) Stewart and Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Noonan and son, Bob, Windsor, Another daughter, Mrs. F. J. Wallis, Westport, Conn., was unable to be present.

(Continued on Page Eight) County Home Holstein Calf Will Carry Rich Pedigree The first of the two Holsteins purchased recently by the Huron County Home Committee for the Huron County Holstein herd, at the Ruthven Dispersal Sale, held in June, has dropped a heifer calf, This calf, when it is registered, will carry one of the richest pedigrees to be found in the Holstein breed. The sire of the calf is the famous Glenafton En- chanter, which sold at the sale for $17,100. This bull is sired by the famous Montvic Rlagapple Marksman, XXX Extra, who has been six times All -Canadian aged bull, and in 1947.was the All- American choice. Enchanter's darn is, the highest record daugh- ter of an equally famous bull, Montvic Monogram XXX and Extra. She in herself is classifi- ed Very Good. The dam of this calf, which was purchased by . the County Home, is in herself a reel champ- ion. She was Grand Champion. at the Simcoe County Bleck and White Day in 1947, and was a member of the first prize Pro- duce of Dam at the Peterboro Championship Show in 1948, and also received Honourable ment- ion foe All -Canadian Produce of Dam in 1948. Her sister was also purchased by the County Home. Her sire was another son of Montvic Ragapple Marksman, Glenafion 'Champion, and her dam,, Pesch Tensen Pontiac, (V. G.), was one of the best produc- ing cows in the Ruthven herd, having a 5 year old record of 26, 174 lbs. milk, and 894 lbs, fat. That means this calf will have as its sire the highest pric- ed bull in service° in Canada, It's dam and both of its Grand Dams are classified Very Good, and both Grand Dams hold Hon- our list records in R. O. P. work. The pedigree will contain Marks- man blood on both sides of the pedigree, as well as carrying the blood of the renowned Montvic Monogram. The calf itself shows every prospect of being a very fine individual.

Headquarters of the Unit are located in the old Dr. Gunn property at the corner of High and Kirk Streets, Clinton. The property, leased from L. G. Win- ter with an option to purchase, has been modernized and ha - proved, and forms an ideal loca- tion for the Unit. "A Fine Place" Dr. R. G. Struthers, Toronto, acting director of Public Health Administration, Ontario Depart- ment of Health, paid a short visit of inspection to the Unit Monday morning, and was much impressed with the arrange- ments. "You have a fine place there, very suitable for the purpose," Dr. Struthers commented in an interview with The NEWS - RECORD. "The Deparment has had good cooperation from those in charge." $24,000 Federal Grant Confirming that a Federal grant of more than $24,000 had been made toward 'the cost of equipping and operating the Huron County Health Unit, Dr. Struthers explained that this amount would be paid to the Province which, in turn, would pass it along to the local Unit. It represents approximately 50 per cent of the cost of establish- ing the service. The other half is borne by the County of Huron. Dr: Struthers stated that 25 health units are now operating in Ontario, serving 63 per cent of the people of the Province, either in cities or in county units, He said that they are doing really good work, and are working out very well.

Dr. J. A. Addison, Clinton, stated that unless peritonitus or complications set in, the child' would be okeh but would have to be confined to his bed for some time. His mother said that the child could not walk yet and was very badly bruised around the lower part of the body. The accident happened when Bill Clark, who had driven Mr. Couillard home, was backing his car away from the garage and Wayne was on the other side of the oar. His mother told him to wait a minute, but evidently he did not hear her and ran behind the car, the rear wheel going over his body. His mother picked him up between both wheels. The car was a heavy model. Farmers Harvesting Second Hay Crop In many cases, the farmers of Huron County are busy harvest- ing their second cut hay crop, which seems to be of average yield and of excellent quality, according to Fred O. Wilson, Clinton, assistant agricultural representative, for Huron County. After harvest cultivation is gen- eral throughout the County. Mr. tlrilson said that sugar beets, corn and white beans con- tinue to show good growth, and at least normal yields are est - peeled. o A Smile for Today Fora!
