HESTORIC WINDMILL
,(By J, 1lac'arisll fu The Loudon
Free Press,).
!Some years aro tate writer, while
011 his way from. Seaforth ta 13ay-
tieid with some friends, tied -the horses
he was driving, to a fence -post at ;he
roadside in' order that a windmill
nearby might be inspected. It present-
ed an imposing 'picture; looked secure
n its foundation, and was capable of
doing, the worse for which it 10115 eon-
5:1•Uetea, even if is 1vere weather-beat-
en, 1110111g lv ithita»d the onslaught of
many an angry 'blast,
The wiuctmil: was a home-made af-
fair. erected on the fariia of the late
Roper, Charters m• -4'e than half a
century a',. It. was 3n a held where
rattle grazed, only a few rods off the
main highway, leading front Seaforth
to Brucelichl, usually called the Mill
Road, The large pine trough that
m! ht jm'stly he considered part of
the outfit was usually amply supplied'
with water to meet the requirements
of the different animals about the
place.
Time has wrought changes with the
result that the once -famed windmill.
which was in -continual service fi,
more titan thirty -lite years, is a thin
of the past. It was taken Gown abori
15 years ago, with the belief that i
was perhaps not only the oldest win':
mill, hitt likewise the hest hand -mad
windmill that could befound in Hut
on county or even in Western On
aria,
Freaentlr we Hear about the win
111111 still; lit all likelihood because
its day ,,f service it must have attract
ed the attention of thousands of pass
era -by. Fortunately a picture 'ofitwa
taken the ,far of our inspection. It i
still its our possession. Believing tha
a :Hort history of the wfutimill wood,
be of interest to many person., w'c
obtained it, and in this way pass it or.
'Phe idea a,f building the Wind Mil:
was conceived by Robert - Charters
and. John McMurray, both farmers.
The main ,ehaft was obtained from an
old \ axan reaper, This was taken to
Robert •lrulton's blacksmith shop in
I?;,mondville where a piece was weld-
ed to the end to provide the lift -stroke
from the pump, which was 01ade from
wood in the ,hop of F. Welsh, Sea -
forth,
The four upright 'supports were
teamhe,l ,frons a swamp in the Town-
ship of Grey. They were cedar poles
abeeit the size of those in it3e for 605 -
pending telegraph wires. The cross
section: were shaped ie the sawmill of
\Vm. Kyle, E,mandt•ifie, which has
0,,1 been in 2x1,131133 far more than
forty years.
The arms 14.r supporting the fate,
also for the vane- or tail -board, were
composed of soak taken from the
woods 011 the 'farm, .Both the fans and
the weather -vane were fashioned front
pine and were attached to the 4upp0rt
or arms by screws. What is called the
head of the w'jndnlitl Lean cast in
Coleman's foundry on the maid thor-
oughfare - in Seaforth. ` The trough
which went into use the sable time
:hat the windmill began to operate
was Engle from pine, It is stilt in evi-
dence and doing duty on the old
homestead 1(1121e one of the 50114,

There were also two daughters, Mar-

on the homestead, and -(Irs. Mason,

Years of age, Their - belongings were

his life, it might be said-, with the ex-
ception 03 a six -weeks' holid113- trip

His widow, who has just Celebrated

It is said that when the” parents of

enisth there -vas 110 2101 thing as Sea -
'anti to Bayfield and Clinton to Lou-
son open roads, They were simply
dazed trails, The father knew from
tctu111 experience what it meant to
airy wheat from, Itis home to Lon -
Ion, a distance of nearly sixty miles,
o exchange it for flour or household
:ommodities, -
lfany of the younger generation in
3eaforth• and locality do not know
that there ever were such places a:
Fulton'• blacksmith shop, Welsh's
lump works, Kyle's sawmill or Cole-
man's foundry' and yet all these
places were a factor in bringing into
exiaten'ce the windmill that stood for
many years 011 Charters' farm. In fact
they may have long forgotten or per-
haps never knew that such a wind -
mit ever existed.
SOLOMON'S PORCH
.Solomon's porch appears to have
been a covered colonnade, portico, or
cloister, which ran along the eastern
sidle of the temple building at Jeru-
salem; and the Jewish historian Jo-
sephits contends that it actually dated
f1'on1 the - days of Solomon, and so
had survived "the. various destruc-
tion; and rehtdldingc' of the sacred

8CABREID for life! Perhaps blinded!
How memory must haunt some
guilty driver's mind! And the records
show that there were thousands of
guilty drivers in Ontario last year.
This message is not for the habitually
reckless, callous motorist. His license
can be cancelled—and' will be! This
appeal is to the usually thoughtful
driver who takes a chance only now
and then. Death and injury to 8,280
men, women and children on Ontario
highways in one year clearly indicate
that now and then is too often!
This tide of needless bereavement and
suffering must be turned! You, the de-
cent, law-abiding, self-respecting citi-
zen can help.
Will you not do your share? Will you
not drive carefully, safety .. always?*
