About the middle of the ;ethe- rs teenth century a modest little white frame school was built on the northwest corner, a mile and 0, quarter east •of the brand new village of Hensall. As was the usual custom of those times, the teachers were mostly ambitious young men who used a • few years teaching as a stepping stone towards their chosen life work of doctor, laaryer, minister, dentistrfinancier, and even inspec- tor. A few included: • Inspector Dewar, Seaforth; Reverends John and Richard Tibh, Toronto; James Irerassick, MD., Neth Dakota; Ben- jamin Smillie, M.D., Iowa; Eldridge • T. Kellam, M.D., Niagara Falls; Tom Case, M.D., Dungannon, and Professor' Robert Murray, of To- ronto Normal Sehool. Probably because of their own zeal, they were able to stimulate a deside for higher education in their pupils. Among the graduates of that first White Sehool are found: Frank Wood •leaCher and educe - elf v 4 4• I• hit •/ tP.). 1 it Co, gra arr. Attempts By Threshers To Save Grain Separa- tor Fail. NgWS OF DUBLIN, • et• During threshing .operations at the farm of Frank Ryaral`ron the 7th 'concession ,of McKillop Town- ship, on Saturday afternoon, fire from an unknown origin broke out in tee barn, and in a brief space of time more than 3,000 bushels of grain, which •ehad just been threshed, all the season's hay -and straw, about 30 hogs, three calves, a cream separator and other equip- ment, were completely destroyed. A voluntary bucket fire brigade had gathered who made a gallant attempt to get the threshing ma- chine out which belonged to Leo Ryan, but'it was unsuccessful.. At the time of the tire the wired was. blowing directly towards the house and the end wall was badly scorched, •but suddenly the wind veered in the ppposite direction and the house was saved. The loss, estimated at about $7,000., was partially covered by insurance. Personals: Joseph Carpenter, Nancy -and Billie, Chatham, with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carpenter, Sr.; Alm M.

While Robert Murray was teach- er the attendance became so large • an assistant was hired. These as- sistants, Matilda MacLaren, and McLellan Family her successor, Elizabeth Ross, ' -•cmcs At Lions Park ' • were the first female teachers. At ri' this time pupils could obtain their teaehieg certificate, enabling them About thirty members of the to attend the Model School there.

She was followed by Mae Mrs. Harold McLellan, Regina, tie Ellis, also of Hensall. Both of these ladies making teaching their life profession and together with their successors have had the sat- isfaction of seeing many of their students win distinction in many professional lines. Again only a few can be listed: John D. Buch- anan, London Life; Mary Bechan- an, R.N., Matron of Orillia Memor- ial Hospital; Nettie Sinclair, R.N., -Matron of Clinton Public Hos- pital, and Rev. Andrew Boa, For- est. In the teaching profession are Jessie Buchanan, Elliott Fairbairn, Nettie Pepper, Grace Pepper and Harold Dilling. In the nursing pro- fession are Grace Forrest, Mildred Forrest and Rhea Rouatt. While the section has reason to be ;proud of those pupils who en- tered the professiorts, an equal measure of admiration and grati- tude should be given to those who, through several generations, have made agriculture their life work. Due to their industry and tireless devotion to duty this prosperous farming community- continues to live up to the description giveij it fifty years ago by that amiable gentleman and distinguished schol- ar, the late Inspector D. Robb. He called it "a veritable Garden of . the Lord." This year, fifty years since the • brick school replaced the white femme building, the peopkof the Mfttion are staging a hugerennion ..pienic, to which graduates of • •eichoOls are invited. 1' This school, which has been modernized in every way to meet the requirements of the times; Is new a part ,of Tuckersmith School Area No. 1, The genial eeeratery- treasurer of the board, Sam IL Whittnore, will act as chairman for the program on Wednesday af- ternoon, August 31.

Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: In the issue of The Expositor of Friday, August 14, 1949, I read with absorbed interest the "Family Record," written by Mr. John Hannah, formerly of the 2nd ooncesr3lon of the Township of Tuckersmith. I was gratified and amazed to learn that he is still liv- ing; and that be will attain his 100th birthday the coming October. John Hannah was a good friend of mine. When I was 10- or 11 years old he gave me employment on his farms -he had three -the home farm the Ramsey farm, and the Dudley farm, near Harpurhee. He paid me exceptionally well for those times -ten dollars a month and my board. I did what is now a man's • work -bare chores, har- rowingt, hayi raking, scuffling, milk- ing, etc. There were no "ieet- slitters" in these days. Any bay near 12 Yeats old worked, and Worked hard, unlike the Many use- less and destructive young "baby bonuSers" of today, who apend the surnieer holidays in mischief and idleness. When, Mr. Hannah started the creamery in Seaforth, 1 was given a creamery route. I was gone all day, cklflng at farms,. measuring the cream it their cans and eche. ming it. My route took me south of the Millet:ad to the Red Scheel- liburreeenear the Sproats, Chesneys • and • Dolga. Then north to near EOM onto .the nuron • (Road, thence 'into Seaforth to the Mara - Garbage On, Road; Pays Fine, Costs itenident was lined $5.0e• and 6ste Id police count here on Wednesday, for depositing refuge oh a peblie reed th.TeakeraMith, • • • • • • • ery. Mr. Hannah's hired man was Charley Wasman, lately deceased, who later married Maggie Camer- on of the Mill Road (now also de- ceased), and bought himself a good farm -near Kippen. Those were happy days on the Hannah farm They were a happy family, and Mr. Hannah was a just And generous man to work for. At the dining table he invariably had a large pit- cher of buttermilk beside him, and he often remarked. jovially, "If Julius Caesar had never drank any- thing but buttermilk he would have been alive yet." I wonder if that is the secret of Mr. Hannah's exceptionally long life? After my boyhood farming ex- perienee, I learned the printing trade, and as a compositor, report- er, journalist and columnist trav- elled widely. The late M. Y. Mc- Lean, of The Huron Expositor, (a grand man if ever there was one), Was a good friend of mine through the years. I had ,begoin to think tha)t 1 am an old man, living in retirement at Wallacetown (21 miles west of St. Thomas, on No, 3 Highway), past my 80th year, almost blind -but here is John Hannah, whom I worked for as a boy of 10, seventy' Years ago, serenely eontemplatittg celebrating his 100th birthday. May he have more birthdays., in health and comfort! He le a good man. • Thanking yon, Mr. rditOr. Sincerely, ROBERT S.

On reviewing the routes the Board found it neces- sary to place another bus in -ser- vice to accommodate the southern part of Grey and Morris Town- ships, which had been added to Seaforth area by the county, coma cil during the latter part of June. The county council was Iforced to z, ise some of the areas because of the proposed discontinuance of Brussels continuation school. The additional bus brings to five the total number to be in service this coming year. The routes as outlined on page 3 of this issue will mean a total of 180 miles to be covered each day. Route ,1 will be 32% miles long and will serve 34 pupils; route 2, 32% miles and serves 33- pupils; route 3 is 35 miles and will trans- port 25 pupils; route 4 is 35 miles, serving 24 pupils, and route 5 is 45 miles, serving 21 pupils. Amount of contract was $18,500. The additional area will mean about 40 more pupils being trans- ported to the school, and the total enrolment will be increased by about 50, bringing the number of pupils enrolled at the school for this year to over 200. This is an increase of fifty over last year. The co-operation of the pupils in being on time for the busses each morning has been excellent during the past year, according to Scott Habkirk. Re hopes that it will con- tinue because this co-operation helps the drivers considerably to maintain their schedules.

The game was between shareholders and employees. The shareholders included a number of Stratfordites., The opening ceremonies were under the direction of J. S. Camp- bell, who called upon Mayor J. E. Keating, Seaforth, to throw the opening pitch. A. Y. McLean, M.P., acted as catcher, while Roy Kerr. employees' team captain, took the first cut at the ball. The game then got underway with the shareholders at bat Mrs. W, T. Teall was safe on a clean bit, while Mrs. M. Stapleton flied out and Mrs. G. Johnston grounded out. Mrs. Teall finally stole home before H. S. Bradshaw was retir- ed. The employees came up with three runs in their half of the first frame. From then on it was the employees all the way, but the Handle Six Tons Of Catalogues Here Seaforth express and postal peo- ple are nursing aching arms this week after handling more than six tons of catalogues of a Toronto mall order firm.
