ANCIENT RAWHIDE WHIP
HAS STORY OF BRUTALITY
Mr. William Murray of Sea -
forth, in ,jtis 90th year, brought to
The News Office this week,• whets
it is on' display, an old time rawhide
whip which dates' back to the time
of the oxen. In those days when
more speed was wanted the driver
did not tramp down with his fort
on an accelerator, but cracked a
whip with an expert hand over the
backs of the slow-moving oxen.
This 10 -foot whip has a wooden
hand grip, all the rest of it being
closely woven rawhide, tapering
from about 1L inches at the butt
to a point, with a twelve -inch lash
on the' end.
There is a story connected s'ith
this whip. While Mr. Murray lived
at Dauphin, Manitoba, he was Child
Welfare Officer for fifteen years.
The original owner of this whip was
arrested by Mr. Murray and was
later sentenced to prison for having
severely out his little daughter's hip
with a blow from the whip. The *an
had been constantly threatening his
family with the whip and also a re-
---' volver, and both weapons were con-
fiscated. On the day the offence was
committed, the child had gone out
to play in the yard, innocently but
disobediently, Without as much
clothing as her father insisted she
should wear. In a rage hetook don
the whip and lashed her -wwhen she
stooped to pick up a toy, laying
open the tender flesh.

SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, ¶mURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 11152
ST, THOMAS', SEAFORTH,
HAS ENGLISH NAMESAKE 1
I
The following ..is a letter sent to
Rev. W. A, Jones, rector of St,
Thomas' Church, Seaforth, from
Tien. Norman Ellis of Brussels;.
"All in Seaforth have been inter-
ested in the Restoration of St.
Thomas' Church. It is only two or
three years ago since the Chureh of
St. Thomas, Seaforth, was restored,
I refer, however, to another St,
Thomas Church and another Sea -
forth. I have come from one Sea -
foie). to another and each one is en-
tirely 'different. The Seaforth. 1
know is on the edge of a great city, 1
Liverpool, England. That .Seaforth
is a pirate of docks and busy streets,
Here is the great Gladstone Dock,
ono of the largest in the world, at
which the great C.P.R. Liners dis-
charge their cargo. Here some of
the most famous ships of the British
Navy put in during the war. Conse-
quently the dock and surrounding •
property were badly bombed, and
the fires of Seaforth could be seen
for many ,riles. Sometimes a family I
of six and of five were all killed to-
gether in 'the air raids.
This Seaforth was once a pretty
village, the home of the great Eng-
lish Premier, William Gladstone,
who built St. Thomas' Church.
•Since then, about 100 years ago, it
has grown up to be a part of Liver
peel, a .place of industry, railways,
workshops rows and rows of houses,
the last place one would go to for
an outing or Sunday School picnic
like its namesake in Ontario.
"I am wondering if there can
be any association of your new Sea -
forth with the old one. Many Eng-
lish, Scottish, Irish, encl. other names
are of course scattered around this
area—Walton, Waterloo, Dublin, to
quote just a few—but the fact that
each Seaforth has a•St. Thomas Ang-
lican Church seems as if it might be
more than coincidental, when , the
'age of both Churches is considered.
Rev. N. Ellis, St. John's Anglican
Church, Brussels, Ont.
FIND CANADIAN MONEY
UNWELCOME IN STATES
Mr. and Mrs, Alex. McDonald of
McKillop, returned home on Tues-
day after spending a week with rel-
atives at Grand Rapids, Mich. They
found that Canadian ,money was
still not welcome in the U.S. de-
spite its premium value in Canada.
Only at banks can exchange be
made, and there only at even money.
Mr. and Mrs. McDonald arrived at
Grand Rapids station after banking
hours, with no one to meet then- and
no American money. They found
themselves stranded with Canadian
money that was refused every-
where. Finally through the kind help
of the state police and a sheriff's
office contact was made with their
relatives. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald
advise anyone going • over to the
States to get American money be-
fore leaving the border. They spent
a very enjoyable week visiting many
cousins in the Grand Rapids area,
whose parents went there originally
from the twp. ;:of Hibbert.

SOD ROOF •
tBy William°Murray)
Pioneer conditions in the West
during the early days in the 80's
and beginning of the 90's led many
of the settlers • on their home-
steads to live 'under primitive sod
roofs. They were warm during the
winter months and cool during the
hot summer months and wet when
a heavy rain storm, came upon
them, I am speaking from my own
knowledge of the Northern and par-
ticularly of the North-West portion
of Manitoba where I lived and
worked during those years.
They were inexpensive to build
and a boon to those adventurous
spirited settlers who sought to tear
up the wild prairie with oxen at-
tached to plow and harrow. These
communities now. have fine high-
ways and farm homes, living in lux-
ury. and have made valuable contri-
butions to the development of their
country. Well do I remember of
visiting at a home where I was in
vited to stay over night when a bed
was made for me under their table
and during the night a heavy rain
storm came on and the first thing
that happened was five children
crawled in with me to escape the
leaking sod roof which had already
drenched them before leaving their
bed and during the morning meal
several dishes were placed on the
table to receive the.water still drip-
ping from the roof. This was an ex-
ceptional sod roof as most of then,
if properly built, would not leak
,except when we bad a two or three
days steady rain or after a long dry
spell when the sods would shrink
and leave crevices, between, Many of
these early settlers came from com-
fortable homes and settled in the
West under these conditions and had
built up hones which had made them
comfortable once more. i cannot
conclude this without . mentioning a
poor family who came from Huron
County and settled on a homestead
which consisted of half prairie and
haft bush land, and after entering
for his homestead only had five dol-
lars left, He had however four cows,
and a team of horses and enough
provision to keep himself and family
for three months. His neighbors
turned out and put up a shanty with
sod roof and a stable likewise. And
as he had no hens they had no eggs.
The neighbors supplied them with
'eggs. Close to their building was a
large but dead poplar tree where
a large hen -hawk built a nest and
when this hawk commenced to
hatch her eggs, a lad of twelve years
climbed this tree and robbed her
nest and placed ten. ben eggs that
had been given to them by a neigh-
bor, in the nest instead and the hen
hawk •hatched out their first brood
of chickens. This mean's name was
Peter McLeod and he bailed from
the Township of Tuckersmith.
• The old sod roof of the West is a
thing long past and gone forever,
but should never be forgotten. It
sheltered those brave men and wo-
men with their families who were
always happy and who set forth to
build up the growing life of a great
West, fine families. Gratefully re-
membered by one who came through
it all as a Western Pioneer.
