ODDFELLOWS'
GRAND MASTER
URGES SERVICE
(By Staff Reporter)
"Fear not to touch the best,"
the motto for the IOOF lodges
throughout Ontario for thisterm,
was the subject of a very inter-
esting address delivered by Bro.
Reg. Thrush, Chapleau, Grand
Master of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows for the jurisdic-
tion of Ontario, et a banquet for
Huron District No, 8- held in
Brucefield United Church on
Monday evening, 'November 14.
Mr. Thrush is a lumberman of
the north, and is keenly inter-
ested in young people. He is
very anxious to see lodges spon-
sor youth activities and cited
several instances—Orillia sponsors
a band, ‚Peterborough a juvenile
hockey lague and Brantford gave
the younger generation a very
Iively Hallowe'en party,
Mr. Thrush said that he did
not feel' that the IOOF was re-
ceiving enough publicity and
blamed this on the members who
seemed reticent of telling what
they were accomplishing, He
urged that the best and worthiest
citizens be approached for mem-
bership and that a dieser co-
operation with the Rebekah
Lodge be effected if possible.
Mr. Thrush spoke at some
BRO.REG. THRUSH
length regarding the CPT fund,
which has been in operation now
for the past two or three years.
He stated that this was the big-
gest project in the history of the
order and its far-reaching effects
could never be completely re-
corded. The fund originally was
started to assist with the three
dread diseases—cancer, tubercul-
osis and polio—but also was be-
ing used in many instances for
any case of disaster which strikes
o community.
Mr. Thrush mentioned two in-
stances, one where the committee
for the whole jurisdiction had
spent $5,000 for a rehabilitation
unit at the Gravenhurst Sana-
torium, and the other 'where the
Kingston unit had built a clinic
at the back of a home so that
the wife, who had been able to
get her husband on
his feet after polio, now was look-
ing after other eimi1,ar cases
throughout the city. Mr. Thrush
said he was firmly convinced that
this committee was more in need
of a chaplain than any other
officer, because it was certainly
the work of God that he had seen
n Kingston and many other
points,
The speaker said that' he was
firmly convinced that anything a
service club can do, could now
be done better by the IOOF if
the members would adhere to
the basic principles of the order.
The speaker closed his remarks
by giving the challenge that the
members need a deeper concep-

nel of RCAF Station, Clinton, and

speakers at the "stag night" held

Historical Sketches
OF THE COUNTY OF HURON
VII—Township of Stanley
This is the 17th of a series
of historical articles on the
municipalities in this area, taken
from "Historical Atlas of Hur-
on County,"' published' in 1879.
The Township of Stanley which
lies just to the south of Goderich
Township, from which it is sep-
arated by the Bayfield River, was
pained after one of the most
prominent stockholders in the
Canada Company as originally
constituted.
It has an area of 53,844 acres,
and with the exception of some
rough farms along the Bayfield,
and a streak of low, swampy
land which runs in a southerly
direction • from the northern
boundary near the centre of the
township, the . roil of Stanley
partakes. largely of those features
of excellence characteristic'of
Huron County land. The other
boundaries than the one mention-
ed of Stanley, are formed by the
Townships of Tuckersmith and
Hay. on the east and south re-
spectively, and Lake Huron on.
the west.
The history of the earliest
settlements in the township, espec
tally the north-western portion,
is identical with.,. that of the
founding of the present village
of Eayfield (1879), which was
$3, included in the . Township; 'of
25 " 41 35 Stanley until ret apart,.'by a
Rein: .95 ins. special Act of the Ontario.Legis-
lature in 1876.
First Minister .
The first settlements in the
eastern part of the township oc-
curred about 1833, when Rev. Mr.
Cooper, an ex -minister of the
Episcopal persuasion, settled on
Lot 33, on the London Road, Al-
though Mr. Cooper followed farm-
ing thence forward, he did not
wholly abandon the sacred oc-
cupation of preaching, and he was
the pioneer preacher of Stanley,
Tuekersmith, and several settle-
ments in other townships.
