Howe, Minister of Reconstruction states officially in the House of Commons fha,t the •housing. situation thh Canada will face "a critical period" in the late fall of 1946, you Can take if for granted • that that is the situation exactly: According to his 20,000 - word statement of Monday, a deficit of 150,000 houseing units this autumn will swell to a deficit a 180,000 by the spring of 1947. • VV'hich brings up again --with even greater emphasis • --the need for the billed cooperation of the municipalities ' themselves in this ,grealt task of securing adequate housing : for a house -Shy populace. In this column on April 18, The NEWS -RECORD , . called upon the Tovirn Council to appoint a special 'lousing - Cdininittee' to attempt to stilVe %the problem as it exists in this district. As far as we have knowledge, nothing has ' belt donel3y Mayor McMurray and hi cohorts, nor a word said in dinned session concerning it. • Therefore, we re- peat What we said on, taut occasion: "If people Want to male •Clton there 110:Me, :they shotdd be given every encouragement, •and there shonid be some official recognition of •_ .. , , . !the oght in which they find themselves at the pre** tine."

It should be pOSISible by direct action.• • (iBy Nerissa Archer MeInnes)' A map. of Huron County dated 1862 was recently found in the attiq of the rectory of St.' Paul's 'Anglican Church, Clinton, and • kindly loaned to the •writer by the' rector, Rev. R. M. P. Bulteel. This ma pl shows 17 townships: Ashfield, Wawanosh, and Turnherry Howick, Maris, .Grey, Colborne, Hullett, • ,i 'Tuck- ersniith, Stanley, Hay, Uaborne, Stephen, McGillivray and Biddulph. When it is realized that less than 35 years previous to the .date 1862; •this vast reglow was a complete wild., erness (col. Dunlop having blazed the first trail through in 1828) one marinate at • how well all thee town- ships are settled. With the except- ion of Hay and Stephen 'there are very few blocks of land markedwith the narne ,C'anacla !Company, the or- iginal owners of this.. area. Approxi- mately one-half of Hay and Stephen was unsettled at this time and one section of and in the western Part of Hay • and McGillivray, near where Grand Bend is today, is marked in- accessible and unsurveyed. • The name "Erewster's Old Mille just outside Huron County, is the only indication that an attempt was once made at settlement where Grand Bend eventually developed - Most of the towns and villages WG know today were in existence then but a, great many have different names, •such as: Auburn (Manchester) Cowie (Leachville or Howiek), ' Nile (Rhymes), Forwich (Likriale P. 0.) and Brussels • (Ainlaysville or, Dingle P. 0i), 'Milburn (Constance), Dublin (Carronsbrook), St. Joseph's (Lakeview), Clandeboye (Ireland) and Dashwood (Sarepta). On the other hand there are quite a number of almost,forgottert hamlets and even post offices. For instance: Cransford near Dungannini,, Zetland near Wirigham, Mcirrisbank north" and CranbrbokOr Grey P. 0. east of Brus- sels, Bodmin south • of Wingham, West fieldnorth of 'Auburn, Millburn and Maitlandville north of Goderich, Smith's Hill (Carlow P.O.) between &ahem and Goderich, 'Roxburgh a:nd Ilarpnrhey near Sectforth, Mansfield: and New Town, both on road running from Kippen to Lake Huron. On the London road south of Clinton are the following:- Granton (Rodgersville P. 0.), Prances town P.O. (north of Ex- eter) Depon. ,P.0. two roads south of Exeter and Adair P.O. farther south. It is rather interesting to note that a greater town p1ot was laid out for the town of Hayfield than for the town of Goderich on this map. Almost the first industry to grow in a new country is the grist mill • for making the wheat into flour and the sawmill for making the logs into lumber. Nearly every creek has one or either or both, and every river has them every few miles. Some of the named ones' are: Bisset satVinill; north of Goderich; Somerville's' and Armstrong's' grist niill and sawmill on the Nine Mile River near LuelmcWi Fisher's sawniill at Wingliam; Haw - kin's mills at ,Port Albert; Seines and T. H. Somerville' have sawmills near St. Helens; Cook's and McGowan's saviniills and White's grist mil! near Blyth;'Fisbleigh's and Barr's at Ain- laysville. North of Hayfield was Hall's woolen, mills. Stonehouse's grist mill and saw mill on tlie Ba field River not far groin Hayfield. Turner's was farther east along the Hayfield River. Charlesworth saw and grit Mills were located where: Trick's is today, on the Bayfield River a conple of milee'soiith of Clinton. Near Eippen, on the Bayfield River, were Pott's sawmill and Bell's saw and grist mine, As fer as COM be counted, there were Over 1.00 schools in 'Heron Coun- ty at this *no', and almost as Many Wesleyan Metho.dist churches. Near- ly all these churches have disappear- ed, the • few, remaining- being United churches today. There were a few English, Pfresbyterian and Chtholic churches. Some of the English churches have disappeared, strati as the ones near Holmesville and SUM. merhill.
