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
