SEAFORTH MAN HELPED DEVELOP URANIUM MINE The sensational news this week of the new atom bomb which will revo- lutionize warfare abet be a powerful peace -enforcing weapon, has a very special interest to a prominent Sea - forth business man, Reeve John F. Daly. Mr. Daly was one of the first directors of the Eldorado Mines from which comes the uranium ore used in the manufacture of the devastating new bomb, and he continued as direc- tor for thirteen years until the com- pany was taken over by the govern- ment a couple of years ago. The directors of the ilrnt, of course, were not told the reason why the govern - Mont was assuming control. - Gilbert Labine who dropped from a plane at Great Bear Lake in the summer of 1.930 and discovered the world's richest deposit of radium ore, has been a guest at Mr. Daly's home at Seaforth on several' occasion, and also his brother, Charles Labine. Jack Daly, son of Reeve Daly, work- ed with the Eldorado company for a long time et Great Bear Lake. The new atom bomb is estimated to have the destructive force of 20,000 tons of TNT. Four and one-tenth square miles of Hiroshima in Japan were wiped out by the terrific blast of the single bomb dropped on Monday. It is estimated that more than t toric than 100,000 Japanese were lolled in the city which contained war industries and large military establishments. Canadian science and Canadian uranium played a large part in the, achievement, which promises to revo- lutionize every phase of peace time life requiring heat and power. Part of Canada's contribution to the atomic bomb was unwittingly be- queathed to the world when the two prospectors staked out a claim in the Great Bear Lake district of the North- west Territories. The prospectors La - Bine staked what became known as the Eldorado Mine and here they dis- Covered pitohblend, source of radium and uranium. From uranium came the atomic. bomb. Within two years of their discovery, 13 large alining com- panies had done exploration work in. the Eldorado country. Today Canada is one of the world's largest producers of uranium.

Ford, The London Free Press), Someone some day should write a novel with Bayfield as background. There could be a trilogy of novels, One would deal with founding of Bayfield and the colorful figures of the pioneers days of the Canada Land Co., and the Huron Tract, The, second- would picture the booming days of Bayfield in the middle of the leth century when it was a prosper- ous lake port and was the shipping centdistrirct.e for most of the grain of the Then with the coming of the rail- road and the by-passing of Bayfield it became a forgotten fishing village with all the characters of such a. place. Finally someone discovered its advantage as a summer place and today it is a peacofpl and quiet spot for people who hate the noise of modern resorts. Its summer popula- tion is a combination of Canadians and Americans, who believe a sum - leer holiday should consist of a com- plete and unadulterated rest, fisher- men and villagers. Modern Bayfield would make the third of the series. Sometimes we think of undertak- ing this novel, or series of novels on Bayfield, but most newspapermen only dream of such things. There are few active journalists who have not ambitions of writing some day a 1 great Canadian novel, but not many • of them ever have the time or the i Baron de Tuyle and his son and 1 leisure to attempt it. heir might make the heroes of the I first of the three novels. Baron de Tuyle was a Dutchman, who after the Napoleonic Wars found refuge , with other European aristocrats in London. In the English capital he i met some ofy,the promoters of the Canada Loan Co., who were open- 1 ing up the Huron Tract. They told him of the glories and advantages of the new country they were open- ing up in what was then Western Canada. The Baron became inter- ested, but he was a canny old Dutch- man. He wanted to know first what he was buying. Whether de Tuyle himself made thearrangementsor not, or whether it was the Canada Land Co. is not clear, but in any case a noted naval surveyor who had fought with Nel- son. Capt. Bayfield, later Admiral Bayfield, was sent out to make a survey of the coast of Lake Huron. He charted the whole coastline from Sarnia to Georgian Bay and recom- mended that de Tuyle should pur- chase land at Bayfield, which he felt would make an ideal lake port. He also had in mind the erection of a fort on the hills overlooking the river. Bayfield was named after the admiral. On this recommendation de Tuyle bought 3000 acres at Bayfied, 1,500 acres on each side of the river. Bayfield also suggested that de Tuyle purchase the ridge at God- erich on the north side of the Mait- land river. The Baron accepted this advice. He came out in the thirties and built a .commodious log house on the Goderich site. Whether de Tayle ever visited Bayfield is not certain, but he did start lumbering operations on his Bayfield proper- ty. In 1836 de Tuyle returned to the Old Lance and died that year in Lon- don. • 1 His son and heir, VincentGuilder- minister de Tuyle, was apparently a n• young blood of the gay days of that ' period of London society, He had been outlawed for debt. He is de- necessary oath. Chas. MacKay was appointed chairman.
