• • A Bigger Spring Show in 1950
should dedound to the great' advantage of
Clinton Spring Show 1950, if the suggestions
are implemented --and we think they will be.
One of' these suggestions was that the
public—which ultimately makes the show and
pays the bills—does not get enough informa-
tion when the various classes of livestock are
being judged, and that more attention be paid
to the patrons of the Show in this regard.
Now occupying the position of being the
best livestock exhibition in Huron County,
Clinton Spring Show -- if properly handled
should be one of the premier shows of the
Province and a real class "B" fair.
OFFICERS OF HURON CENTRAL Agri-
ultural Society, introduced a new and very

The proceedings of the Com-
issioners all through this year
e taken up with a fight against
r. VanEgmond to compel him
do statute labour, which he
fused. Finally we see the fol -
wing, under date of July 24th:
eceived from Thomas Carter,
e sum of 41 9s. 3d. cy., being
account of sale of goods and
ttels of A. VanEgmond, by
der of the Commissioners, for
on -performance of statute la-
ur;" and we see by the "Fin-
ale' Statement" that the above
s the only money received by
e Corporation that year; that
e clerk (J. Colquhoun) paid it
out by ls. 9d. for the statute
hour it was ,supposed to rep -
sent; and that having purchesed
"Record Book" for 5s., And
aper, pens, and, ink" for other
5s., he brought in a bill against
the township for the balance of
8s. 3d„ which the township was
unable to find funds to pay. As
a contrast between the then and.
the now, we may see that the'
":record Book" was such as can
be purchased at any modern book
store. for 25 or 30 cents.
But interesting as is much of
the matter of referring to the
municipal government of the
township, we are obliged to cur-
tail it. Briefly speaking, the
Town Clerk "ran" the Township
here as elsewhere in those days;
and the position was held by J.
Colquhoun up to 1839, when C. L.
VanEgmond wes chosen, and held
the position to 1342 inclusive,
being succeeded by William
Muir. The District Councillors
sent by Tuckersmith up to 1850,
and the Reeves up to 1853, may
be seen elsewhere. The first set
of muniicpal officers on the
operation of the Municipal Act
were: Reeve, Dr. Chalk; Council-
lors, C. L. VanEgmond, John Mc-
Intosh, James Murray, Francis
Fowler. -
After the withdrawal of Perth
from the united counties, the
Reeves of Tuckersmith were as
below: 1854, William Chalk;
1855-60, James Dickson; 1861-64,
Henry Chesney; 1865-69, Coerce
Sproat; 1870-77, G. Edwin Cres-
well; 1878, David Walker; and

The only villages within the

both of which have been at some
length referred to in connection
with the sketch of Seaforth; and
there is nothing more to add ex-
cept that the latter was founded
and named by Dr. Chalk, the first
Dta.rict Councillor and the first
Reeve of Tuckersmith; and the
latter was founded and named
by Constant VanEgmond, eldest
son of the Colonel, and is still

And now, although we have
not done half justice to the hist-

have already extended the space

cipalities which go to make up
the great County of Huron,
Tuckersmith, if not actually fore-
most—as is largely claimed—is at
all events entitled to the legend

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
Last week thousands of women
gathered in Massey Hall, Toron-
to, to protest against the iniqu-
ities that are rampant under the
Ontario Liquor Act. It is a sign
that the tide is rising—the tide
of resentment against a traffic
that is demoralizing this province.
It is a sign too that Premier
Frost must take drastic action to
redeem his position. The Huron
Temperance Federation demands
e policy that is in the interests
of Temperance. 46-b

Vacation days may seem quite
a way off just now. But is.Lt
too early to begin saving for
them?
How often have you reluctantly
curtailed your vacation plans be-
cause of a shortage of cash? Holi-
days aren't nearly as much fun
when funds are low.
Quite a lot of people set aside
each payday, in a special savings
account, enough money to take
care of one day's expense for the
holiday they plan. When sum-
mer comes, they can relax at the
beach, sail, swim, ride or golf
without worrying about money,
Why not begin saving now for
your vacation by opening a sav-
ings account at the Bank of
Montreal. You will find saving
for the summer sun a lot of fun
and it will add a pleasure bonus
to your holidays, too.
Mr. A: B. Corless, accountant
of the local B of M office, will
be glad to open an account for
you. 46-b
