Hay Township
Nominations
(Continued From Page One)
School Area
Chairman of the Hay Township
School Area Board, Ray Fisher,
who was again elected to that
position, reviewed the annual
statement of the area. He stress-
ed the fact that the area is end-
ing the year with a surplus of
$22,672.40, which makes it pos-
sible for the board to carry on
their program without having to
borrow money and pay high in-
terest rates.
Other members of the board,
Clifford Pepper, Leonard Erb,
Lloyd Hendrick and Earl Rowe
each spoke briefly. Mr. Rowe sug-
gested the day is fast approach-
ing when the smaller rural schools
will all be closed and the children
brought to a central school in Zu-
rich.
Oscar Greb, township represen-
tative to the South Huron. High
School Area board outlined the
program being carried on in the
high school this year. He also
explained the details of the new
addition which is to be built in
the near future.
Others who spoke briefly at the
nomination meeting were: Wil-
liam Haugh, representative on the
Auxsable River Conversation Au-
thority and George Armstrong,
the assessor of Hay Township.
Hay Township clerk H. W.
Brokenshire acted as chairman
for the meeting.

CHARETTE TRAGEDY
(Continued fro last week)
After the corpse was taken in
the funeral home, I was question-
ed as to his identity and where
he had come from before his
death.
After they had heard my decla-
ration they immediately said that
I would have to go through an
inquest before being able to re-
move his remains to Canada, as
I had told them was my inten-
tions and desires. I was told at
the inquest that I would be giv-
en the necessary paper and burial
certificates. They then sent a
message to Alpena, a town 38
miles from Millersburg and I
could expect the necessary offic-
ers to arrive on the 7 p.m. train
that evening. At the indicated
time I walked across the street
to greet the three officers that
had just arrived.
The doctor and officers gave
the body a close examination and
after they were through I was
called in to give a full account
of the death accident. I was quiz-
zed for two hours, for my testi-
mony had to confirm what they
had found on the body. The doc-
tor and officer had a long talk
with me after the inquest, in
which they offered me words of
encouragement and consolation,
and they also expressed the sym-
pathy to the bereaved family and
friends. The undertaker was then
ordered to make out the de-
crees for Canadian removal. I

YOUR SUPPORT WILL BE APPRECIATED
thLEST
of HA
[ have had the privilege of serving
you as your reeve for the past four
years, during which time f have endeav-
oured to serve all parts of the muni-
cipality without fear or favour, and have
worked unceasingly in the interests of
the entire township.
Due to the fact the e have been a number of projects
started in the Township his year, which will be needing com-
pletion in the next term, I humbly solicit your support ,to re -
confess they were crucial mom-
ents for me.
The late Frank Denomme, of
this Parish, and I, walked to the
telegraph office and dispatched
the news to Henry Bedard, who
was a brother-in-law of the de-
ceased, and he in turn broke the
news to the family.
News of the tragedy spread to
the six lumbering camps of the
E. L. Lewis Lumbering Company,
which surround the village of Mil-
lersburg. Lewis ordered all the
camps closed and about 300
lumberjacks on Saturday morning
were walking the Main street and
only street in the Burg, awaiting
orders to enter the home to pay
some tribute to the deceased, and
to help in any way they could.
Perhaps the saddest part of the
day was that the aged father of
the victim arrived on the 10 o'-
clock train to pass the winter in
the camp with us. The deceased
had sent enough money to pay
his father's fare some time be-
fore. Frank Denomme had the
task to break the news of the
tragedy, which in itself was hard
and heart breaking. At the time
I had been asked to go to one of
the hotels which was under the
management of a French family,
but I regret I cannot remember
the name. He, his wife, and dau-
ghter Josephine, had words of
sympathy for me and they told
me that they had a lunch basket
well filled for us on our way
home. I then walked back to
camp where the grief stricken
father was sitting quietly by him-
self. He told me he had no mon-
ey to return home with us, It
was some time before I could put
myself to answer him, but finally
I said, "don't unload your turkey,
God will provide the necessary for
your return." In lumberjack lan-
guage turkey means luggage.
The hour was set for leaving at
12.30 p.m. for Alpena. We put all
in readiness during the forenoon,
such as our luggage, settling our
wages and paying up all expenses
entailed. We had an early dinner,
given to us by the boarding house
management. Frank Denomme,
the aged father, and myself walk-
ed across the street in readiness
for the march to the station, in
which about 300 of the boys took
part as -well as many residents of
the Burg. The distance to the
station was about 80 rods but on
the march I was surrounded by
the bays with the expectation th-
at I would choose some particular
ones for pall bearers, but all had
been kind to me and I did not
want to show any particular fav-
ours, so I said, "six of you boys
surround the bier to act as pall
bearers, and the others in line to
help." I had only uttered the
words when many more had vol-
unteered their services.
The funeral procession to the
station started on the narrow
plank walk and even children and
their mothers took part and all
showed their respects and even
the shanty boys, clad in their
working apparel of Mackinac clo-

ST, JOSEPH—
DR.YSDDALE
(By Al. Fred Ducharme)
Mr. and Mrs. Avila Ducharme,
of the Bluewater Highway south,
were recent visitors with. Mr, and
Mrs. Lloyd Fanner, of the Part
Blake district. Their visit renew-
ed memories of their western trip,
whioh they took this fall, and en-
joyed greatly, even though they
waded through snow banks to get
around.
Two sons of Mr. and Mrs. Jo-
seph Cantin, St. Joseph, Nelson,
Lansing, Michigan, and Jules,
Flint, Michigan, paid their par-
ents a flying visit last Monday,
remaining only a few' hours due
to the pressure and responsibility
of their charge.
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Brisson,
Detroit, spent Thanksgiving day
with the latter's mother at St.
Joseph.
56th Anniversary
On Saturday last, those of the
children who were able to come,
were present to greet their par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Duch-
arme, on the occasion of the 56th
anniversary of their marriage.
They were present from Detroit,
Windsor, Zurich and surrounding
district. The day was spent quiet-
ly, chatting and renewing past in-
cidents. Those from a distance re-
turned to their homes on Sunday.
thing and rubber foot wear. We
finally arrived at the station, a
couple of minutes. after leaving
time of the train. I wanted to
wait 'till all got near enough to
see 'the embarkment of the de-
ceased and I also wanted to thank
them all for their kindness, so I
asked the conductor for a split
minute of time, and he said, "son,
the time is all yours." I took ad-
vantage of his generosity, thank-
ing him first, then the few hun-
dred others who had paraded with
the remains and offering me all
in kind words consolation to abate
my grief.
Slowly the train pulled out,
leaving behind my emotional feel-
ings in Millersburg. The train was
enroute for Alpena, a distance of
38 miles, going through a rail-
road which had been hewed
through second growth trees and
only here and there along the
way, passing through small burgs,
perhaps some were only flag sta-
tions.
We were travelling under thick
overhead clouds and only at in-
tervals did the sun make a Nov-
ember appearance.
