Wright Cabinet Work; - Refinishing SEAFORTH ems ' Truly,in fact, is 'the Univity of Western Ontario your "University_ Of all of the graduates of the University last spring, in all courses, 85 per cent. were from Western Ontario. There were last year 148 students 3Y['attend•-- mance from Huron County. It is there- fore reasonable and right that the University has Always been interest- ed,in and concerned 'with the activi ties within Huron County. One of the most. inspo'rtanit parts of any Y University, the most important actually after the students and stiff, ie' the library and it is With great pride that eve have one of the finest working libraries in Canada with more than 174;000 volumes, under the cap- able direction of Professor >Lan- don, who wrote, among other ks, the fascinating story of `"Lake Huron." Professor Tatman, who has long been associated with our library, likewise has made the history of Western On- tario his chief interest and has com- piled from many old records exciting facts About pioneer life in this part of Canada.. Dr. bbl, our President, has for many years shown a specific intert"t' in Huron County; his book. 'Taint Running No More," a story of the river at 'Grand Bend, is pleasant and delightful reading. .. The work of Mr. Jury, the curator of, our Museum, is almost specifically directed toward the Indian and Prov- tier history of Western Ontario. Mr. Jury's interests and activities in the excavation of Indian camp sites is a stimulatingresearch, and through his efforts much is being learned about the community life of the Indians who made Western Ontario their home in centuries past; The Huron Indians, the' Neutral Indians, and the Tobacco Indians living its different parts of', Western Ontario, each had their own'. civilization and the area about Sea - forth might well be rich in historic' and archaeological treasures concern- ing 'the' intermingling of customs of'I these three great Indian groups.

Sure- ly for the protection of our own na- tive history It is not unreasonable to suggest. that our provin4}al or- muni- cipal geverriments which• are vitally concerned with our lands, forests and traditions, should likewise take a posi= tire stand in • preventing the wanton. destruction of such sites.,as are known to be or believed to be of Indian ori- gin_ Only approved parties" should be permitted to participate in. such sig- nificant exploration work.' Such action would preserve these Indian sites for authorized and planned exploration so that stories to be told would be of real value in piecing together the history of those who once raised their fam- ilies in these historic counties. `ot only is Western Ontario rich in Indian history, but it has, had 'a color- ful and exciting frontier history as well, and once again we pay tribute to Mr. Jury of our Museum; and to his father—who have over. a period of, many,•.1„ears--•- culiected implements, utensils, and all of those other pio- neer articles which the early white settlers used both in creating homes for themselves and their families, and in their every -day activities.

Large amounts of historical material •have been acquired throughthe years, are now being catalogued and made available for those who are interested. Old' newspapers, old letters includ- ing love letters, ledger books, account books, diaries, tax rolls, voters'' lists, sales lists, election programs, etc., are invaluable in providing information about the price of goods, the old fam- ilies, what the people did, and thought, and which when pieced together, give the economists, the hirstorianst• the sociologists factual knowledge of our', past community ,life, Pictures of old hoi.ses, bridges, mills -and churches are •things which should also be pre - Served' and added to the files for the benefit of the future. - Although something, is known about the "origin of Seaforth and the 'sur- rounding municipalities, a great deal yet ,remains to be learned. Laid out, approximately in 1850, by three men, Patton, LeFroy and Bernard, Seaforth was named. after Seaforth, in Scotland. Potton, a law partner of the famous John A MacDonald in «Kingston, Le' Froy and Bernard, lawyers in Barrie, apparently came to Seaforth; there must be a story there! The adjoin- itg village'•ef 'Edthondville and Sea - forth combined: to complete a station on the Buffalo and Lake Huron Rail- road which was completed in 1858, al- most ninety years ago. .Eglnondville is call after Anthony Van Egmond, an interesting character. Born, in Hol-, land, he served with Napoleon, is said to have liken on the famous retreat from 'Moscow, and there joined the al- lies and served with Blucher at Wa- terloo. Coming to America and then to Waterloo County, he got a job building roads for the Canada Com- pany ompany and thus settled at Egmondville. With the Rebellion of 1837, this man e as the leader of the rebels, fought at Montgomery's Tavern on Yonge Street, Toronto, an ddied ' in jail, in 1338. Surely theresome- where , are records Within a few miles of here which would tell us more about this. man and the community in which he, lived. Stories like these can be told of in- numerable localities in Western On- tario; interesting, exciting and of real• significance, but lacking in sufficient detail to enable the Historians of the H: rf f r.
