OLD TIMERS COME HOME TO
• ST. HELENS
Teachers and Pupils of By -Gone Days
As a school re -union the gathering
St. Helens School (S. S. No. 4, Wes
Wawanosh) on Thursday of last week
was quite up to the high hopes and
expectations of the •hard-working
committees who for weeks had the ar
rangements in hand,
The "old boys" and the "old girls'
came home alright—not all of them
• of course, but quite a large number
—and they had a good time,e
for th
right re-unttion spirit was there and a
• nice, agreeable crowd. There was
endless hand -shaking and friendly
gr eet,in as friends who, had been
tcr
elated. by many milesformany
years met again on th.e "eeltO91.hoeSe
playing ground" They foetid titifigS
much changed to be sure, for a new
and ep-to-dete brick school house has
taken the place of the wooden struc-
tures which they knew. ••
The day was fine too, neither too
hot not too cool for, comfort until
M the evening, when rain came on
and interfered soinewha.t with the
• prograire 13 ut the best•part was over,
• which was the meeting of the old-
• timers and 'their welcome back by
those who had •remained upon the
• old ground and the younger genera-
tion which had grown up and plan-
• ned the re -union.
The program was carried out ac-
cording to •schedule until them rain
came, There were. the speeches; the
music, the field Spoets and the pic-
nic lunch with its social time. Rain
• prewented the baseball match and
nta-nmeeencert in the open air arid the
• out -door daece. The concert, however
was given in the Public Hall, the
s• place being packed to the doors, in
spite of the deludge of rain which
kept coining down all evening.
There were twelve hundred or
more on the grounds, the main crowd
being a.ssembled at.the western end
of the school yard where a platform
was erected tinder a great shade tree,
and where the setitheen,ts of the
• casion found fitting expression in
speech and song,
Mr, McQuillin. who was se-
cretary of the re -union committee,
waS chairman an t iade an ppr °pirate
speech of welcome to the home -com-
ers and the visitors. , •
'The opening number of this plat-
prOgealn was a .chortis by a
• number of the present day. school
girls. This was followed by a speech
• by John joyet lel, P. P., who thoegli.
net an ex -pupil of the • St Helena
School, had epent his early days le

in life, He took for his subject "Be-

such an occasiot. as this, and he
effectively quoted from a number of
lessons in the old school books—les-
sons which he had learned as a boy
and which he thought had much to
do with giving stamina to the boys
of that day and helped to make them
/ • Mr. R. D. Cameron who spoke Af-
ter Mr, Joynt is a real old boy of the
• school having attended in the origin-
al building, of which he gave a vivid
- and somewhat lunnorous picture
• The boys sat on nide benches with
' no support for the babel: and no desk
, in front. However, there was a desk
la sort of ,double sided affair at which
the pupils took turns while practic-
ing writing. Mr. Cameron told of the
dicipline of those 'days, • which was
rude and severe. One day when the
teacher .was hit on the back' of the
head with a snow ball, he immed-
iately sailed je ene sehool end esen-k-
irience•an investigation. Some of
the boys didn't know who hit the
teacher and couldn't tell, while 'oth-
ers who did know wouldn't tell be-
cause they feared their comrades
might be too severely flogged.
"Well," said the teacher, "I'm going
to • whip theboy that threw that
snow ball if I have to 'whip every
boy in the school to get him." And
so beginning at one end of the row
he thrashed every boy to the last
one, but he never found out who
'• had hit him. The teacher was a
pretty tired -looking man. when he got
through, for there were between 5o
and 6o boys, Mr. Cameron was one
of the boys who didn't know and he
doesn't know to this day who threw
the snow ball. Speeches were neces-
sat-ily reminissant, and Mr. Cameron
gave a brief sketch of the develop-
nent of the school and the locality,
enlivened by a eumber of antedo4es
of tlte early days.
Mrs. McGillivray, of Wingham, who
as Miss Ferguson taught in the school
for severaleyeare in the seventies oc-
cupied a place on the platform and
44,
gave a short address.
Mr. Dan Cameron, a pupil of the
early days, and who had come all the
way from St. Paul's, Minn., also spoke
for a few minutes.
Mr. • Herb Bert:lay, of Leamiegton,
was another pupil of the early days
who gave a short address. He said
he svasnt much of a talker, as per-
haps some of his school mates woeld
testify. He remembers being espec-
ially dull when it came to sayirig his
geammar lessons. Mr. Bariaby left
the St. Helens district 45 years ago
and had visited his native township
but oncelit that time.
Betvtreett the speechee. were given

Mrs, Welsh, of neer Kincardine
who, as Miss Murray, was a teacher
in the school, and Mrs. James Ingles,
formerly IVIiss Minnie Gordon an
-
other teacher also eccupied seats on
the platform.
Many of the old timers expressed
regret that Mr, j, W. Morgan who
was billed for an address was unable
to be present, Mr, Morgan as a
teacher of the early days was irnmen-
sly popular in this section and ap-
pears to have been a really good
fellow. He was greatly interested
in the growing boys and did all that
he could to encourage them: in manly
virtues. He hashis reward in the af-
fection of all' who took instruction
under his direction. Mr. Morgan had
been looking forward with pleasur,
able anticipation to attending the re-
union bet was prevented by ill health
from making the trip.
At the same time that the speech-
making was going on at the platform
field sports were conducted to the
west of the school grounds for the
.entertairiment of those who enjoy
feats of strength and skill. A list,
of the prize winners appears in an-
other column.
Sorne who came and some who sent
regrets:., •
Thirteen came over by auto from
Flint, Mich. ancl vicinity, amongthem
being Mr. John Rutherford, the oldest:
"old boy" to coree back. He was ac-
eompanied By a son, a grandson and a
great-grandson and other relations.
The names will be found in the list of

The first school house in Section
NO. 4, West Wawanoshnwas built and
opened in 1855. It stood on the east
side of the road just • north of the
little cemetery opposite the present
sehool. It ,was a small log structure
with very . little equipment of any
kind, the scholars having to sit on
benches witheut backs and without
desks. On the opening day just three
boys attended; and One of these three
Mr. John Rutherford, still of the St.
Helens district, was • at the re -union
The other two were, Hugh Ruther-
ford, a brother of John, and A. D.
Cameroil who for over 20 years be-
fore his deatli was deputy sheriff of
Huron County. His widow attended
the re -union. Mr. Hugh Rutherford
also passed away someyears ago.
Cameron was the first boy to enter
the school. The story. is told that a
race was arranged between •the boys
A. D. Cameron and John Rutherford.
Cameron starting from a point north
of the school and Rutherford from a
point to the south. Cameron won the
sace and -the distinction of being the
first boy to enter the school. The
two boys grew to matihood in the
vicinity and both were in after years
respected trustees of the section.
The first teacher in this s. school
was a Mr. Peter' Clark who later
bought a ,farrn in the eth concession
of Culross near Teeswater where as
prospeeoes farmer he lived for
,Yreitree I ge I tes 1 mimo
.Originai school soen proved toZt
small and a frame school house was
built on the west side of the road in
1867. There were big and fast-grow-
ing families in those days and the ca-
pacity of this second school was soon
outrun. A small building apart front
the larger one was then erected and
this for a time relieved the,congestion.
It was not long however until the two
houses were over -crowded and an
addition -enas made to the larger build-
ing, making a three room . school.
Miss Murray. now Mrs. Welsh of near
Kincardiee, was the fleet teacher in
the third room. Some idea • of the
task before these teachers is suggest-
ed 'by the fact that in the year 1872
the !lumber of pupils 'on the roll was
214, making an average of 71 for each
of the three teachers, These build-
ings ,servecl the purposes of the sec-
tion until 1916 when the present well-
equipped and modern school was er-
ected.
Two women,. Mrs. Teirrance, of
Kinloss, and Mrs. Dorothy Douglas
of Lucknow who as girls attended the
original school soon after it was open-
ed were at the/re-union, feeling well
enough to enjoy the day.
An interesting story is told of the
big willow tree which shaded the
speaker's platform at the rear of the
play ground. It appears that W. C.
Gaynor, a brother of Messrs Art and
Mat Gaynor, now of Ashtabults Ohio
as a boy was fond of fishing. One
day he carried his fish home on a
willow switch, and on the day follow-
ing took the switch to schreol with
Having iee further use"Yor it he
pushed the end of the switch into
the ground and by chance it waaleft

this variety of willow if stuck in the
ground will take root and develope
into a tree. And so I, hie fish gad.

WESTERN FAIR ADVANCING
The announcement of the Western
Fair dates, September 6th to 1.3th,
brings to the mind of everyone the
value to Western Ontario of this great
Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition
For fifty-seven years the Western Fair
has been an outstanding factor in pro-
moting and encouraging the develop-
ment of Agriculture and Industry gen-
erally throughout Ontario. The re-
cords of the past and the growth of
the Exhibition indicate that it has ac-
complished its purpose to a verymark-
ed degree. The completion of a new
Manufacturers' Building last year has
provided accomodation which was
greatly needed for the display of
products produced by Canadiae manu-
facturers. This new building will be
filled to capacity at the Exhibition in
September with a great variety of
exhibits featuring Canada's industrial
achievements. • .
Many of the buildings are being
remodelled so as to provide increased
and improved accomodation for the
exhibits in the various departments
and exhibitors and visitors at the 1924
Exhibition are assured of every con-
venience and comfort regardless of the
crowds which will undoubtedly throng
the grounds and buildings each day,
The Secretary, W. D. Jackson,. will
gladly supply interested parties with

Oil Refinery in Bruce
The Mulberry Creek Oil Company,
which has been drilling for oil on the
Bruce peninsula since last fall, has de-
cided to erect a 3,000 -barrel refining
plant in Southampton, at a cost of a-
pproximately $300,000. The refinery
will be built close to the C. N. R. and
harbour. • It is expected that the com-
pany will employ a hundred men. The
company has received assurance from
the Dominion Govermnent that their
pipe line may be laid along the shore
from Spry, where the oil wells are
located, to Southampton, a distance of
35 miles. • '
The cost of the pipe line -will be only
a fraction of the cost of purchasing
right-of-wae, which would be necess-
ary in order to reach, an inland point.
• The. well of the Bruce peninsula is
located on, the Fowlie farm, one and
a half mile north of Spry and about
six miles north of Lion's Head. They
have sunk a well to a depth of 1,600
feet and when they have reached an-
other 502 feet in about a month they
xtaect to have a production estimated
at 5oo barrels of crude oil per day.
They will glee Proceed to bore An -

geologists on the continent have de-
clared that oil is themre in large quan-
tities. The maps prepared by the Ont-
ario geological departent maintain
similar information. ,
• The company also bolds leases on
12,000 acres in reord County, Kansas,
where twd wells are being drilled, The
company expects to. bring oil from
Kansas to Cleveland by a pipe line,
and from there to their Southampton
refiecry in oil tankers.

Speaking of -Re-unions
Last week Port Elgin held its 0Id.
Home Week, and many happy reun-
ions of old boys and girls were enjoy-
ed, recalling former days. According
to reports from many who attended
the crowds were not as large as had
been expected, but the weather -was
favorable and in spite of the busy
season in the rural community many
found time to .spend a few hours each
day entertairting their friends and be-
ing entertained. Speaking of reeeions
we often wonder whether or not they
are a profitable pastime to be engaged
in. It is invigorating to take part in
wholesome and hearty mirth and jolli-
ncation but as is usual the proceed-
ings are generally marred by old
King Booze. There is an element that
ertgage's in disgusting revellings and
drunken carousals which 'will eaves
profit any community, The custom of
heeding over the freedom of a tovvri
generally results itt the flooding of
the place with booze, It wa.S tbe
same in Kincardine last year. Port
Elgin was even svorse. Midnight ex-
cursions of debauchery were carried
on, no law was known, 013. the high-
way it was scarcely safe to travel.
Liqeor crazed drivers drove blindly oh
regardless of others. Accidents hap -
paned Whith alemst proved fatal,
TilnY' Were haVing but they celled a
good time. Can the good that is got
out of suck celebrations ,atone for the
evil rt:sults which invariably follow.
'-i'bis is no calamity howl, These are
facts and we cannot shut our eyes to
the truth. Better far to discontinue
these events than be a party to such
degrading and demoralizing occur-
rences.—Kincardine Reporter.
