The vice-president then tread the fol

walking -cane:
"Mr, \Ven. Murray:- As the peop]
who had come from the British Isles
and some from Northern Europe, t
constitute the early eettlement o
Canada, were becoming blended t
form the great Canadian nation, th
overflow from that portion, ono
known as Upper Canada, began t
settle the so called bush county
later to be known as the Counties o
Huron and Bruce, and it was th
pioneers from these counties wh
still later contributed largely to th
settlement of the West, hence it i
only fitting that the traditions o
these pioneers should be kept aliv
through social organizations. As ONE
of these pioneers who has given o
your time and effort to bring this
organization together, we are indebt
ed to you, and now Sir, we the mem
hers of the Dauphin Huron ant

extending our congratulations to you
on this your seventy-eighth birthday
anniversary. We all join in extend
ing to you our very best wishes tom

little gift as a token of the esteem
in which you are held among ns.
Signed on behalf of the Association,
A. M. Simpson, President; Rube
Fidler, Vice -President; rIvan Boles,
Secretary,"
The crowd again cheered and- elan -
ped. Mr. Murray was taken com-
pletely by surprise and thanked them
most heartily for the honor done
him, and said:
"I will hang the cane on the wall
in my home where I may see it
every day and keep in memory this
wonderful reception as well as
every member of the Association,
and when I am an old man 1'11 tak'
it doon and use it in the way it was
intended. It bas, indeed, given me a
great deal of pleasure to organize
such an Association, which has now
over one thousand members, I am,
too, proud of you for the part you
have taken in assisting to bring
about the success achieved. I am
proud of the Association. I am proud
of the two great Counties which we
represent, being the very best in
the good Old Province of Ontario of
which you are all descendants. I
have been well repaid for my en-
deavors, and it will be a pleasure to
me to continue to do everything in.
my power to keep the Association
filled with the right kind of pep.
Please accept my thanks."
The balance of the night was oc-
cupied in dancing, and hiding one of
the finest lunches ever provided by a
gathering in Dauphin, truly fit for a
king. Our next rally will be a picnic
in June or July.
