By Melvin J. Blanchard
I would like to give a short sketch
oaf threshing days in 'McKillop when
I was a boy, about sixty years • ago,
in the ./hope that it might 1* of in-
terest to the readers of The Exposi-
tor.
The first nsachine,1 remember was
Owned by William Grieve, John
Grieve, Tom Snsithers and Jim Holmes
and it was a 10 H.P. machine made
•in Clinton by 'McPherson, Hovey, &
Co. 1t tobk a long time, to do thethreshing in those days, in fact al-
most to New. Years. Thresher then
were noted for their good horses,
which would thresh all fait; -then draw
cordwood through the pitch holes till -
spring . which meant a lot of hard
work.
Then. there -wee- William Trewar-
the, Robert Grievre, Richard Cluff and
Mr. French. 'I remember when they
came to our place to !thresh an oat
stack for father: After getting the
'machine all sett, Mr. French says:
"Weld, bons, I guess we are ready to
ortart," and getting the old. whip,
Started to talk to the hareem. • Spot,
one of the lrorst+ee, was a .big Arabian.
and - was considered one .e46- the; hard«

ed by Robert Grtt.ve, who sold ltim

This mean nearly killed the horse, hut
Mr. Grieve took pity on himrand
bough t h i m. back.
Archie Menzies, Jack Holden, and
Joe Morrison had a macrtni.ne and
threshed for a number of years. I
remember Archie staniErig on the
driving board whistlling hornpipes
•arwi .step dancing to keep his feet
warm and snnappingsthe whip to keep
up the Speed. Jac Holden had a
big black horse wthiish wag blind, but
he would nevertheless .goaround and
step over the tumbling" rod every
every tine. I used to like the hum
and if I happened to ,be. dawn In the
field I would " stop and listen to the
noise which war like music to my
ears.
J.im Hunter, • TEilt 4Hunter and Bill
Trewartha had another machine,•
which was a 12 H. P. and considered
an up-rto:date Machine with . equalis-
ers on the end of the arnw eo that
each team had to da its share of the
work.

Power machine but didn't 'tits• ft very

I mustn't forget Pharo Burns and
the Story boys who owned an old
machine which was always going
wrong. One day it broke down and
they spent hours fixing it, "when at
last 'Pharo got out of patience with
it and getting the whip, went on to
the 'driving board and said it's has
either got to go or break. It went,
fortuanately, and Pharo warmed up
the Inorsee and men before he got
thtoug+h. -
These are but a few of •the thoughts
that come to .me about events .of long
age. There are only three men, lie=

DOMINION LOSES IN
SHIP ISLAND CASE
c3
Supreme Court Confirms
William L. Forrest's
Interest.
The Supreme Court of Canada has
dismissed the appeal of the King v.
the Attorney -General for Ontario,
William L. Forrest and the Canadian
National Railways. The appeal Was
'tismissed with costs.
The substance of the case was the•
question whether Ship Island; at God-
erich, was, before its expropriation
by the Dominion, •,the property of the
Province of Ontario or of the King
in the right of the Dominion.
The case was heard in October,
1932. at Toronto, by the president of
the Exchequer Court of Canada. He
decided that Ship Island !belonged to
the 'Province of -Ontario, subject to a
lease dated August 16, 1929, in favor
of William L Forrest.
From this judgmlent appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court of Can-
ada, which confirmed the decision of
the Exchequer Court.
The appeal -was the outcome of a
disagreement between the Dominion
and Forrest res./lilting from dredging
operations authorized by the Domin-
ion which was effecting the removal
of the island, in which Forrest claim-
ed an interest. Forrest secured an
interim injunction to prevent further
dredging. This injunction was ells -
solved when the Dominion agreed to
expropriate the property if Forrest
were found to have an interest in it,
and the judgment finds that he had
such an interest.

The'anmual school rneetine was well
attended last week when 'Mr. George
Bennewies,• who has served on the
board for the past. 18 years ,retired
and Mr. Henry Clevor was elected in
his place: The financial statement
showed the section to be in good
standing. r
• Last Monday municipal elections
went off quietly as the roads were
treacherous for driving' and "many
did not get out to record their vote,
but those who did showed that the
expense of an `election was not netc-
essary after the housecleaning in
Goderich ,which was brought, on by
the present reeve and the co-opera-
tion of a majority of the county coun-
ci 1. tIt is to • be hoped that 1 he 'Ies-
eon learned will make those who are
entrusted with the affairs of the coun-
ty honest. The electors else- showed
their appreciation of the work done
by the old • councillors by returning
them.
