CELEBRATES 89TH BIRTHDAY.
(Stratford Beacon -Herald).
There are lew people in Seaforth or
the township of Tdckersmith but who
know Henry MdGavin, but there are
nor many who would believe that he
will be 89years • of age on Monday
next, for his appeatiatucebelies his
years.
!Stooped, yes a little, but who
wouldn't be after heavy 'fano work
during the greater part of his life. An
abundance df white hair crowns his
head and a trim white beard lends dig-
nity ea the face that contains not a
twinkle. !And there is that little
twinldle in his clear keen eyes that
would make it almost impossible for
him to deny the land o!f his nativity—
Erin's. Emerald Isle.
Yes, on Monday nest, June 8, Hen-
ry McGavin• of the township of T'uck-
ersmiith will be 89 years of age, but it
is unlikely, owing to the failing health
of his life pa'rtner, that there will be
any celebration beyondreceivingcon
grandee:ions from relatives and
friends. Hen4y MdGavin doesn't like
fussing and for him it's ust going to
be another day. And Henry McGavin's
day doesn't consist of lolling before
the living roam heater or lyinwg a'be'd
in the mornings. He still plays an im-
portant part, in the every day routine.
of the :household over which he has
presided for more than 68 years, for
it was in February last that Mr. and
MKS. McGavin celebrated their 60th
wedding anniversary. Mr. MdGavin's
day now consists of going dawn to
the road for the mail, and it is quite
some walk too, keeping the cattle out
of • the yard and orchard, encl.- other
very necessary chores.
One day this week we called at
Mr. MtdGavin's 100 acre faran on
lot 112, concession 5, 'Tuckersnnith
township. Here he resided with his
wife, a daughter Mary, a son John
and J'ohn's wife,, IIt was rather
early in the, morning but Mr. Mc.
Gavin was up and about. We caught
sight ofhim coming through the or-
chard, 'having driven the catttle to pas -
titre. He carried a stout stick with
him, but hurriedly explained, lest we
should think he needed a cane, that he
used the snick' to shoo the stock. And
as if to give proof to this statement
Inc placed the stick against the wall
of the house before -going' indoors.
Mr. MdGavin':was barn on June 6,
1943, in County Fermanagh, Ireland,
where he spent the first 17 years of
his life. At that age he left Liverpool
in a sailing vessel. The trip Erode Liv-
erpool to Now York occupied 36 days
and as he remembers it the weather
on the whole was fair, though there
were a few rough days when the
waves washed the decks. After a few
days' visit with twosisters who had
preceded' him to New; York, Mir. Mc-
Gavin left for Ontario andcatne to
Seaforth where he got in touch with
an older brother. For 14 years Inc'
Worked as a 'farm laborer itt the dis-
trict, mostly in 'Stau'ey teem ship. For
15 years he worked a rented farm and
then he came to his present fares in
Tuclaesismith which' he 'has occupied
for more than forty years.
"When I Arse ' came • to Seaforth
there was more business clone in a day
in that town than there is in a week
now," declared Mr. MrGavIn in com-
menting on. the trend of the tines. At
Chat time London, Huron and Bruce
tine of the Canadian National was not
heard of, and teaming was ,clone to
Seaforth from as far north as Brus-
sels. I can recall teams and wagons
in 'large numibers: plodding along the
an •the meant an
m i
road.For1trip
overnight stay and lite hotels there-
fore, did a big business.
'"What do T think of cars ? Well,
391 tell yon. Cars are all 'right in
their pII'ace and if a small can af-
ford oneand knows how 'to Use it,
I like to see him have it, -Many .b'
my neighbors havecars and they use
than when they (have to, but thein
don't go gallivanting . alveiover the
country. Cars,.ltowever, have hit the
farming ,Rustiness and there isn't ' the
demand' for hay and oats that there
was in years gone by. Even • the 'black-
stniths are not getting much to do
because there are so few horses on the
road.'^ t,
And while on fire,topic <olf •hay and
oats, kr. lfcGatdn said he had neve-
seen the price o'£ wheat belo4 60 cents
and he' never knew a time p revious(ly
wham one couldn't borrow money. It
the olden 'days people always, seeem-
°'e"roalir 7lir'frg "t1 lrioneh to pa:
their 'taxes, ' though. of ,course, they
were lower." When Mr, McGavin
took over h[s,'farni the taxes were be-
tween $20 and $25. Last year they
were $10.7, but they have been „ even
inghe'r tha'nrthat.
"It is said the way ,things are
going," said the old gentleman, rath-
er mournfully. "Farmers, who a few
years ago were considered wealthy,
are now being :s'heriffed out." But this
frame of mind did not continue for
long, the 'tittle twinkle came into the
eye, his'face brightened and he said,
"but surely it won't last much longer."
Mr. MciGavin was 'reticent to pass
opinion an the present-day youth and
on the tsate of happiness and content -
stent of the people now as compared
with those of 50 years i ago. Indeed
from eh conversation it was easy to
conclude titalt Mr, 11tdGavin was a
titan who was pretty snudh given to
keepiing his own counsel and not in-
terferi'n'g in -,the affairs of his neigh-
bors,
"I think the people on the whole
are happy in any age," said Mr. Mc-
Gavin, "arid so far as tihe young peo-
ple are concerned 'I think they are as
good as they we ever were. Our
neighbors to=day are as good as any
neighbors we ever had and their boys
have given us valuable help oil many
occasions.
'The children to -day get more
schooling than they •formerly did,
Many farmers send their boys to cal -
lege to be busien'ss farmersandthen
they quit tihe •farm. But then educa-
tion !w!as'never a 'load to carry around
and comes in mighty handy at times."
Mr. !M'dGavin has neither used to-
bacco or indulged in spirituous liquors
for over 50 years, but the has no guar-
ed
uayrel with the man who does. Meddling
in others' taffains only created ill will,
he contendedIn answer to a question
he said he stopped using tobacco be-
cause it gave him heartburn. Liquor,
he said, never appealed to him.
Asked 'his opinio'n of the present
liquor control system .Mr. MdGavin
expressed the belief that there was
much less drunkennessnow. "But in
the old days 25 'cents would treat the
bar," lee added.
:Mr. MdGavin has not particular re-
cipe for longevity except it would be
hard work. He wasalways, considered
the weakling df the family, •abut at 89
he is still going strong. Chopping and
logging occupied a ,great deal of his
time when he was young and he ap-
pears to have suffered no ill effects.
Sixty-eight ,year .sago last Febru-
ary Mr. McGavin wa's united in mar-
riage to Caroline Graham, a native of
Goderich, but Iwduo at the time of their
marriage was !living in Stanley town-
ship. They were married In a good
old log house, the home of the bride's
'father, by Rev. William okunl, of the
Methodist church.
"Where did we go on our honey-
moon?"
Mr. MdGavan smiled. "We just
went back to work in the bush. There
were no trips to Niagara Falls le
those days."
Indeed 'Mr. MtG'avin' was never
very much on travelling. ,In all his
years of farming he :has had but two
holidays, each Of a week's duration.
About 40 years ago he went to visit
relatives !in Marlette, Mich„ and about
two years .ago the visited tnenvbers of
his 'family in Windsor and Detroit,
Mrs, MctGavili who is 95 has not
enjoyed good health for some time
and, comes -down stairs only on es-
pecial occasions. The i1's't one since
the anniversary of February, was •dn
Sunday last when one of the sons was
horse from Windsor. As 'soon as she
had''fiti!ished the evening wtneal she re-
turned 'to her room, "Mother had to:
work' pretty hard and is not so well
now" MIr. MCGavin staid, with a look
of tenderness 'in his eye.
Mr. and blrs.+M,dGavin were blessed
with eight of a 'family,' all living.
Arthur is in Reading, 'Pa., AlfandDir.
Ed. in Windsor, Fresi J. 4n Detroit,
John and Mary at tome Mrs. L.
T'a'sker, Windsor, Mrs. Ralph Eliliobt,
Seaforth.
'Feeling- that a man. nttarrted so
many years should be able - to give
some sound advice 'to one who had
but recently started in the race, we
asked 'him his opiimiou on married'life.
Running his hand through his hair
he sntiliugly rep'l'ied Well, you see,
I'm not bald headed yet, And, you
know, a good 'wife is a joy to a hus-
band:"
Mr, .McGavin in his younger days
was a faithful church goes, and he still
listens 'to .'the ,sermons over the radio.
"But the radio 's'hould be no excuse
for not oging to church," he declared
with emphaeis. "It is poor- encourage-
ment to a minister ,to 'talk to empty
pews." .lir. tvloGavin, too, is fond, df
good basic ,and takes much ettj'oy-„
meant itt listening in an the radio. Me is
an admirer of John McCormick's
pieces, And why not, arn't they boat
Irish?
"Take care Of yourself Wand also 'af
your wife" were our parting words.
,"And you batter bethinking of do-
ing that yourself; was ready and
humorous retort, as diereachedfor his
hat and again stepped into the 'site-
s!hina to resume his daily chores
