The Seaforth News, 1938-07-07, Page 2PAGE TWO Former Huronites Hold First Picnic at Dauphin, Man. , BIG PROGRAM OF SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT—ELECT ,OFFICERS At Dauphin Manitebae there has been organized a Huron County As- sociation, which takes in a radies of about '30 miles, taking the Town of Dauphin as the center, and on June 22nd they had the first real get- together, which was in the form of a real old time basket picnic, hetd in the Agricultural Society's grounds, which is an ideal spot for seat a picnic,.beautifully dotted as it is with lovely oak, ash, elm and maple trees, Natural groves of these trees provide ample shade for the most weary trav- eller. The day was ideal throughout. At one o'clock the gates swung open and the Huronites commenced to enter with their families of boys and girls. Soon th-e grand -stand was filled and the eports •committee celled out the games which were held in front of the grand stand. First of all there was a tug-of-war by chosen teams with Robert Bruce, formerly of Clinton, and Levi Stelck, formerly of Zurich, as captains. Af- ter a long steady pull Mr. Bruce was declared victorious and Mr. Stelck's side had to treat to ice-cream. Then came ithe various games and races of the youngsters which was very much enjoyed by all, young men's and old inen's races, women's races, etc. It was now 'SOO o'clock and the lunch committee announced: "Tea now ready under the shade of the old, apple tree," and all made haste to the place selected amongst those 'beautiful groves to enjoy one of the best basket .picnics of the sea- son. Talk about eats, there was en- ough left over to feed a good sized army. Afterwards several bali games by picked teams were played by both male and female teams, but the best and most enjoyed game was a picked team of ladies and one of men who had not played in any other game during the 'day. This created lots of fun for the onlookers as many of them had not played .ball for many years. Even the President, who is in his 76th year and had not played ball for 35 years was inoluded in this and succeeded in making two complete runs. The men's team won by a small margin, It was now 8 o'clock and all made haste to the grand stand to hear the fight over the radio which had been placed there by The T. Eaton Co, free of charge. But the fight turned out to be a, fizzle, with a knock -out the first round. This however was the only fizzle of the day. A general meeting of the Associa- tion was called to °vier by the Presi- dent who was seated on the speaker's platform. After a few remarks by him and a welcome address, the pro- ceedings of the ,preliminary organiza- tion meeting and work of the various committees was read and endorsed, Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Wm. Murray, President; Levi Stelck, 'First, Vice -President; Mrs. Fred Nicholson, second vice-presid- ent: A. B. Crawford. secretary; Mrs. Robert Bruce, treasurer: fames Campbell, Rebe Fisher, Wm. Hughes, W. D. Strand, Ivan Boles, Robert Bruce, Arthur Fisher, Elgin Mayn- ard, Thomas Nicholson, Mrs. Elgin Maynard, Mrs. Charles Finnen, Mrs. Rube Fisher and Mrs. Robert Farrell, ,executive committee. Some discussion arose respecting :annexing Bruce County members to -our Association, and on motion it was carried, •provided the Bruce members are agreeable. Therefore the next time you hear from us it may be the "Huron and Bruce County As- sociation." Some thought by taking in Bruce County that the Scotch would predominate. The President then asked the question, "When did swimming first some into vogue?" Some one replied, "When the first toll bridge was built in Scotland." This brought the day to a close and all cried "Adieu," and departed for their various homes well satisfied with the day. KIPPEN Mr. and Mrs. Robert Doig and Mr. Andrew and Miss N.

We are conscious of the !limitations Cif the English langu- age when attempting .to indioate to you, not only that we have recognized the great work you have been doing in the interests of the 'Kingdom, .but also that we desire to pay a slight tribute to the many excellent qualities of heart andmind which have mani- fested themselves not only in your rounds of pastoral duties, but also in your social intencourse with us. Be- ing endowed with a pleasing 'personal- ity, your relations with those to whom you have been ministering has al- ways .been of a cordial and harmoni- ous nature and the ,perfect accord that has always 'prevailed in the congrega- tions must have made an inestimable impression for good in the minds of the young people, amongst whom you have been doing a great work. You have ministered to these congrega- tions with great acceptance for these years anl at the same time have al- ways taken an active interest in the community life of the people, while Mrs. Sinclair bas always taken live interest in the women's activities and the work of -the Sunday schodl. Spir- itually, we believe the present confer- ence year now -drawing to a °close has been one of the most progressive in the history of our churches, a fact evi- denced not only by the increased at- tendance at both churches and Son - day schools, but also by the large ad- dition to the membership. This is due in large measure no` doubt to the ever increasing inspiration of messages from the pulpit and the'fine spirit of co-operation that exists between you, and the heads of the various organiza- tions. Indeed we believe OUT churches never presented a more promising fe- ture since the consummation of union than they do at the present time. And now you are about to transfer your activities to a new field of labor, after an outstanding record of faithful ser- vices to our churches. We rejoice to know that you will continue to be a valued member of the Huron Presby- tery where we trust your services will always be available as guest speaker on special occasions in Hensall and Chiselhurst United Chunches, As a slight recognition of the many excel- lent qualities you and your estimable wife and family all possess, and as a more tangible expression of our a,p- preciation, we ask you to accept these gifts.

T 1 Tells of Pioneer Journey from to Manitoba The follovving mery interesting let- tSr hes been received by the Huron County Association of Dartaphih, Man- itoba, from Mrs. Clarisa M. Harrop, who was born at Gorrie and is now living in Dauphin. Dauphin, Manitoba, Mr. Wm, Murray. Dear Sir: Seeing your add, in the Dauphin paper, thought I would let you know I came from the County of. Huron Township of Howick, town of Leech, afterwards called .Gorrie. In bhe spring of '118169 my father -put his wife, five boys aod myself in a canvas covered wagon, with all 1, our belongings and started out for the Red 12.iver. We took the boat across Lake Huron and landed in the United States. We were three days on the boat. We were all sea -sick but poor father kept on his feet to attend to mother and his children. We remained over at a place called Stock Center where father -bought two milking cows, a light wagon, a small cook stove and some other nec- essaries. IHe cut down • a tree and brought a piece of the log to our camp, together with two (pieces of green sticks. He put the sticks in boiling water and bent them for bows and fitted them on the cows' necks, made a yoke and hitched the cows to the wagon an -d soon had them broken in, Somewhere father fell in with an- other immigrant by the name of Joe Little. He had a large family of girls and a 'brother-in-law by the name of Jimmie ?Jock, On reaching the Hud- son Bay -post at Winnipeg these peo- ple left us - Some years later we met them on their homesteads at the sec- ond crossing of the White Mud River, now called Gladstone. On leaving Win-nipeg we shoved on west through Pontege and on to Rat River where father took out six claims, one each for his Ifive boys aod one for himself. Rat Creelc was the boundary on the West of all these claims and they ran two miles east. We were comfortably housed before the winter set in, with seven acres of land ibroken up 'for spring crop. We lived through atm ;first Reil Re- bellion and father went with Bolton and his little squad to be ,closed up for a term in Winnipeg, and such joy to us children to see him return. In -due time father had some of his Ontario neighbors come out, and when the .Government surveyed the land there were lots of vacant lands Vo be homesteaded. One of these men by the name of Rutkdge, with his aged mother and a sister, all got homesteads. In 1680 I married a sort -of this Rutledge and raised seven sons and three daughters Vo manhood and womanhood. I lost two sons in 11.191118, The rest are still I hare ,one sister in Houston, Texas, and -one at Pincher Station, in Alberta. My first husband died in 19014. I was 'born at Leech Village in Ili881V I feel I am 'living OA God's lent time now and trust to ,be prepared for His sunnnons when the call comes. After the death of my first husban.d I moved to Roblin and Ob- tained a widow's homestead and in 1901, moved to Dauphin. • farmers sincerely, CLARISA M. HARROP.

It should he of interest to the far- mers in the Seaforth -district to learn that the Sewforth Farmers' Club sold over one hu-ncired and thirty tons of fertilizer during the spring Seas -on. There are several reasons why the farmers who purchased fertilizer from the club acted in their own best in- terests. In the first place they were able to make a saving of approximate- ly five dollars per ton on mixed fertil- izers such as 2.42*, 21-42-10 and 0-418- 6; considering the tonnage sold the total savings would be at least 000. ,Another decided advantage in pur- chasing foam the club is the fact that it gives a farmer controlled organiza- tion a boast during its initial stages of growth. It also was a convenience to have fertilizer on han-d in town to -supply all who came. Then, too, the farmers who patronize the clt.tb are contributing to the success of our own Wholesale, namely the United Farmers' -Co-operative Co. in Toronto. In order to be of further service to the farmers the club has decided to handle binder twine. A whole -carload came in recently and this is the logi- cal source for every fanner in this district to -procure their twine re- quirements. The policy that is being adopted to dispose of this twine is to place it in the hands of several fat: - mer -agents and also have it available at all times at Regier's Garage in Seaforth. Would the readers 'kindly wateh for a future announcement that will state definitely the farmers that are selling this twine. The club is ..endeanroring to handle this twine with a minimum of expense and at the same time -give the farm- ers .excellent service. The interest and oo-operation of all farmers- will be greatly appreciated by your board of directors. KEN JACKSON, President. .bles add hot water slowly.
