Tour To Detroit
Last Thursday; July 18th, 440
Huron County 4-H members and
friends enjoyed their annual 4 I3
train tour. This year's tour was
the longest ever to be taken by
the Huron County 4-H members
as the train travelled from God -
elicit to Detroit, Michigan and
'rack malting a total of 320 miles,
rhe highlights of the tour were
tlis visit to the Greenfield Vil-
1a.,e and the Henry Ford .Muse-
um. Everyone on the trip was
amazed by the size of the Muse -
u , • nd the number of historic
buildings situated in Green-
field Village. From Greenfield
Village the group went to Briggs
Stadium to see the .New York
Yankees defeat the Detroit Tig-
er, by a score of 3 to 2. As the
score would indicate this was a
very interesting game. Follow -
;fir the game the group went
.',rain by bus to the :Barium Ho-
tel for dinner and then walked
the short distance from the Bar-
ium Hotel to the Brush Street
Station where the special train
.w . waiting to return to Huron
nnty.
At Clinton it was noticed that
there were a number of articles
of r:othing etc. left on the
tin. Those who lost sweaters or

them by contacting A. S. Bolton,
assistant Agr. Rep., for Huron
County, and describing the lost

cuy- was encountered in keep-
in .ash a large group together

ployed as a stone mason and lat-
er purchased the .Bluevale and
Brussels chopping mills, which
he operated for many years.
At the age of 77 Mr. Garniss
moved to Seaforth after dispos-
ing of his' businesses and he and
Mrs. Gernis's lived there for ten
years. He has been staying at
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
time and the train reached the
county almost 15 minutes ahead
of schedule, The members on the
way home seemed to agree that
it was a very worthwhile one day
tour.
This tour was arranged and
conducted by 'Mr. Dave McLean,
Travelling Passenger Agent for
the C.I.R. and Mr. Bolton and
Mr. D. H. Miles.
Memorial Unveiled
To Huron. War Dead
Huron County's war dead
were officially enshrined in
memory at Goderich on Sunday
at a drumhead service and ded-
ication of the Canadian Legion
Memorial Chapel in the county
courthouse.
In a stirring, hour-long cere-
mony the hope of legion mem-
bers throughout the county was
realized with the recognition of
the central memorial chapel hon-
oring the county's heroes collec-
tively.
Some years ago the legion ex.
pressed the"desire to have a cen-
tral shrine where memorial ser-
vices could be h,eld and, with
construction of the new court-
house last year, provision was
made for the chapel.
Eleven Legion branches in the
county worked together to fur-
nish the chapel and prepare an
official book containing names
of those who died in four wars.
Proceedings began with a
parade of more than 100 legion
members and bandsmen from
the Goderich arena to the court-
house. The parade was led by
the Goderich pipe band. The

to face the privileges, opportun-
ities and duties in the same
spirit as those whose memory
we call to mind today did in

their beliefs," he challenged.
"Are you like them?”

HULLETT CEMETERY
100 YEARS IN USE
Ball's cemetery on the Base
Line, Hullett 'Township, 'narked
its centennial recently,
'George Raithlby, superintend-
ent of the Trustee Board has re-
corded some historical facts
about Ball's cemetery. It Was
reported that the first :burial
site in Hullett Township'was sit-
uated in Harold Sprung's field,
near the junction of the Ii/Li�ll
Road and the Base Line, Hullett
Twp. but no one has any offieial
record of it. The first land de-
signated as Ball's cemetery was,
purchased from the late William
Ball, consisting of a half acre
of lot 41, con. 11, Hullett Twp.
The contracting parties were
grantor, William. Ball; grantees,
David Reed, Joseph Fisher, Ro-
bert Shannon, Richard Sprung
and John Heapy. The price paid
was 5 slhillings. Witnesses to the
deed were :Rev. Amos Bradshaw
and John Ball on June 26, 1857.
The first interment was Mrs.
James Rapson on Sept. '16, 1857.
The complete number of ,burials
to date is 774. The cemetery,
was later enlarged by the pur-
chase of 14 acres more from
William Ball. The trustees of
the churclh (Methodist Fapisco-
pal) were Richard Sprung,' Wil
liar Ball (elder) Elijah Ben-
nett, William .Symington and
William V. Bennett. A meeting
of the plot holders was held in
the cemetery June 20, 1924, at
which time seven trustees were
appointed consisting of 'Robert
McGee, 0. Ellsworth Errott,
William Patterson,. G. 11. Ball,
Jacob Wagner, !Herbert Mag -
ridge and George Raibhby.
On June 24, 1924, a meeting
of the Methodist Church board
was held, presided over by :Rev.
P. '13. Banes, with Samuel Cox
as se'cretary, when it was decid-
ed to have the deed transferred
to the cemetery plot holders
which deed was registered Aug-
ust 15, 1924. Additional land
was purchased from Frank Lan-
sing an the south and east sides
about three-quarters of an acre
for $40.
In 1927, all interested 'people
in the community 'helped in
work bees to put the grounds in
order and discard old railings
and level the earth. A. campaign
to raise funds of $2,000 or over
was organized and the interest
of this amount would keep the
grounds in order. On June 19,
1929, this amount nvas realiz-
ed
ealizeed and repairs were made to the
church, along with the grounds.
At a ;board meeting on Dec. 15,
1953 it was decided to use all
funds derived from 'memorial
services to keep 'the .church in.
good repair. The first of these
services was held July 31, 1927.
Two legacies have 'been re-
ceived by the 'b'oard during the
passing years::Miss Jean Rat-
cliffe, $200 'and Mr. (Harold
Turner. orf New Jersey, 450.
Several changes have been
made in the personnel of the
board since the 7 Trustees were
appointed in June, 1924. On ob-
taining legal advice it was found
only three trustees were need-
ed to carry on the 'business, so
at a meeting on Jan. 23, 1928 a
new board, consisting of G. L.
Sturdy, Dr. C. A. ,Howson V.S.,
and George Raith`by were elect-
ed. They continued in office un-
til May 12, 1930, when Dr
Howson resigned because of ,ill
health. On June 11; 1930 C. E.
Asquith was appointed to 1611
the vacancy. On June 23, 1934,
R. J. 'Phillips was appointed to
vacancy caused by the death of
G. L. Sturdy. On 'Feb. 1, 1957
Mr. George lRaithby resigned
and Robert Arthur: was appoint-
ed A,psil 27, 1957,
The ,cennetery 'boards have
been fortunate in obtaining ser-
vices of efficient sec. -treasurers.

tr:oduced a .system in which the
minutest items are recorded

SHOULD GRASS BE PLANTED among trees on account of
steep surface grade a grass co-
ver may be necessary. Under
such circumstances the import-
ance of tree growth becomes se-
condary.
'AMONG WINDBREAK TREES
Native trees in the prairie re»
gion of Western Canada usually
grow in "tight" clumps where
undergrowth is sparse and con-
tains little or no grass. Experi-
ence 'has also shown that if
grass becomes established among
windbreak trees; . their growth is
usually and quickly adversely
affected. Every effort should.
therefore be'made to prevent
grass gaining a foothold among
these trees, states John Walker,
Canada Department of Agricul-
ture, Forest Nursery Station,
!Indian Head, Saskatchewan.
Planters are also advised
against sowing grass near or
among their windbreak trees,
otherwise valuable, and often
scarce, moisture, required for
'best growth of trees, will be in-
tercepted and utilized by the
grass roots 'before it reaches the
tree roots. This also means that
trees are deprived of nutrients
which must first be dissolved in
water before being absorbed by
their roots.
Many planters, no doubt, con-
siderlantin >grass a means
'p 6 a s
of preventing undesirable grow-
th of weeds, of eliminating cul-
tivation, or, perhaps, of obtain-
ing a uniform soil cover.
The ideal pattern of mainten-
ance and care of windbreak
trees is to establish a natural
'forest floor among the trees.
completely shaded by overhang-
ing )branches, and to 'provide
needed moisture and plant food
by keeping cultivated strips be-
yond and 'alongside the area cov-
ered by overhanging branches.
A windbreak containing a few
closetyh.planted trees and rows
is visualized here,
'Where the windbreak consists
of widely -spaced, more or less
individual rows of trees, the.
trees can be kept in vigorous
.growth, only by maintaining cul-
tivated strips on each side of
every row. Where low-cost faoil-
ities for irrigating the trees are
availalble, the effect of grass
will be less severe.

Why is the telephone still working, Mummy?
It's most unusual when a storm affects your
telephone. It's reassuring to know that it •
has a habit of staying on the job.
The reason is that your telephone operates
from banks of giant batteries in the telephone
exchange. Should power go off for any rea-
son, these are charged by a Diesel motor
standing by for just such an emergency.
So the uninterrupted service you enjoy is
no accident. It takes forethought, equip-
ment—and money. Allure necessary if you
are to have the best possible telephone
service 24 hours a day.
