The diecuseion was attend- ed ,by Andrew' Y. McLean, M.P., 'who arranged the meeting at the suggestion of Reeve Elmer Web- ster, of "Stitnley Township, and rEayiield Trustees Jack Fraser, &Grant 'turner and Ben Rathwell. While it was pointed out that ender the British North American Act, erosion and high water are not responsibilities of the Federal 'Government, unless federal instal- lations•are being endangered, there was general appreciation of the die tflcuities 'that existed. The trustees were particularly concerned as to, the encroachment of the river onto the road leading to the south pier, and suggested steel piling to pre- vent further"inroads. When it was pointed out that this proposal would cost , approximately $150.00 per running foot, and that to be effective at least 500 feet would be required, it was agreed that some Seaforth lawn bowlers made .a clean sweep •of the top four prize positions in their District Doubles Tournament 'Friday evening, Aug. 22.

Walter Eckel, father of the six and a half year-old twins, cut the tree down immediately after the al- most -fatal accident at their farm home, near Varna. Touched Power Line, Varna Twins Escape Fatal Injury • Six and a half -year-old Audrey Eckel, half stumbled, half crawled Strays From Pasture, to her home to get help for her Horse Hit By Train twin brother, Norman, after they were both burned by a ,high-voltage power line Sunday. The twins suflered deep burns to their arms and legs when they touched a live wire while climbing to the top of an apple tree in the orchard of their parents' Varna dis- trict farm. Norman fell more than 20 feet to the ground after contact with the hydro line. His sister managed to climb down the tree and tell her parents of the accident. Mr, and Mrs. Walter. Eckel found their son unconscious at the base of the tree. The -youngsters were taken to Clinton` Hospital for treatment. Audrey received burns to both arms ,both legs and a foot. Her brother suffered burns to his hands and one leg. He was bruised but otherwise unhurt as a result of his fall. Shortly after the near -fatal acci- dent to his son and daughter, Mr. Eckel sawed the tree down, a sure precaution that a similar brush with death wouldn't happen again. The, children were used to playing around the tree some time before the Sunday accident. Patsy Munroe, 16, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eric Munroe, won't be taking her customary rides on her pet three-year-old horse, Honey. Thehorse was killed by a train Friday evening when, it strayed from a pasture on the farm of Har- old Jackson. Patsy had been training the horse for races at the Seaforth fall fair, • Social Evening For Former Bell Manager Miss Madelon Fortune was hos- tess to a group of girls recently when she entertained for Miss Mur- iel Bowden, bride -elect of this week. Games and contests were enjoyed during the social hour, al- so community singing with Miss Evelyn Cardno at the piano, Later, Miss Fortune presented the bride- to-bls with an electric tea kettle and spoke a few words of appreciation ,for her service as manager of the Bell Telephone Company office here for the past year. Delicious refreshments were served at the close of the evening. nN•iidz!( 0 ree District Famers Hurt n Mishaps, Two Hospitalized 1Viogn! Mirage May( 'Fan Fancied Fire A vivid orange moon, sidling the .,evening horizon in late summer, has for ages been the Gail., of lovers, poets, dreamers and romanticists. Its warm haze in the still dark of the night sky ,pas beckoned the vow's of youth, the muse of the intellectual and the inspiration of the artist. Sunday night Deputy Fire Chief Sohn Crich figured that same moon was responsible for an excited lady on the Mill Road, calling Seaforth and beckoning the town fire depart- ment to an iniaginedbarn lire. Anyway, when the trucks reached the area there was no Are . . . only a vivid orange moon. • Three district farmers, two in Tuckersmith township and one in Goderich township, were involved in farm accidents' over the week :end, all suffering painful injuries as a result and two &till in Scott Memorial Hospital by Wednesday. At least two of the mishaps could have been fatal • Huron Girls' Garden Clubs Achievement Day Held Tuesday More than 130 people attended the North Huron County Girls' Home Garden Club Achievement Day held in the Community Centre, at Cranbrook, Tuesday. • Fifty-five girls from .six clubs completed their garden project, with three receiving county honor certificates' for completing six pro- jects and 14 for completion of two. The sessions were in charge of Miss Jean Steckle, newly -appointed home economist for Huron and Bruce, assisted by Miss Agnes, Turnbull, economist for Middlesex and Elgin Counties, and Mrs. Mar- ion Montgomery, 'Toronto. Jerry Montgomery, agricultural representative for Huron County, gave the placing and maims be- hind judging of vegetables, The program included exhibits by the vari us garden clubs, demon- stration and skits and presenta- tion of ' rtr'ite ltes.

This trophy was won last year by Gordon Johnson, of Eberts in Ken County, John McLachlan, Tuckersmith, was drawing ;a. baler with his son's. tractor from the farm of Arthur Varley • to the farm of Arthur Fin; layson, both in Tuekeramlth town- ship, about 3 p.m. Saturday. As he proceeded up a grade near the Broadfoot bridge the pulling weight of the baler behind the tractor proved too much, buckled the con- nection and up -ended the tractor in- to the creek. Falling into three feet of water, Mr. McLachlan retained conscious- ness and was able to make his way to the bank. There, he was noticed by someone from the nearby oad- foot farm who came, to his aid. At Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, he was found to have head and neck injuries. Although his condi- tion was reported' as improved by Wednesday, he was being detained until x-ray plate readings were com- pleted. Dog Saved Master Later that afternoon, around 51 p.m., Adelbert Gardiner, well-known Goderich township farmer, was bringing cattle into his barnyard. One of the cows in the herd sud- denly turned on him, knocked him to the ground and started to tram -1 ple him. At this point his dog sav- ed him from more serious, or even fatal, injuries. Barking and nip- ping, the dog scared the beast away from his helpless master long enough for Gardiner to get to his feet and some protection. Taken to hospital at Goderich, Mr. Gardiner was released later the same day after treatment for bruis- es and abrasions. X-rays taken re- vealed no broken bones. The following Monday morning Alexander Pepper, Tuekersmith farmer on the Mill Road, was se- curing pipes from a cutting box about 20 feet 'high from the barn floor. Losing his footing on the. beam where he was working, he fell to the.floer. At Scott Memor- ial. Hospital here, where he was taken by., am.hulance after being found on the floor, his injuries were reported as a badly bruised shoulder and a cracked rib. Hos- pital authorities said Wednesday he was resting comfortably. • McKillop Fire Due to Bean Cooker Wiring Seaforth, StaffaTake Butter Firsts at CNE Seaforth Creamery placed in the second prize group at the ,Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, with a total score' of 96.5 in the June class for butter, 14 pounds solid.

Holmes was appointed • general manager for the term to the end of the year, 'Commission Chairman D'Orleon Sills announced, At the same meeting Ruth Pullman was appointed secretary -treasurer. "Jake" Holmes, who has been an employee of the local commission for many years, replaces Joseph Mason. Since March of this year Mr. Holmes has 'been acting man- ager. Seaforth firemen and the rural area file truck answered a call shortly before 2 p.m. Saturday to the farm of Jack Davidson, McKil-, 1 lop, tw'o miles west of town', "on the north side of Highway No. 8. On going to the ,barn after din- ner, the owner smelled smoke and immediately called firemen and neighbors. The latter had the fire under control in short order by using ex- tinguishers and -buckets of water, but the firemen investigated and stood by to make sure all was safe- ly extinguished before leaving. The fire apparently started from overheated or overloaded wiring attached to a 'bean cooker, which had been used earlier in the day. Wooden stalls, partitions and ev- en the barn floor directly above were badly charred and the stable was filled with smoke when discov- ered.

Most readers, glancing, casually down the classifieds with a detach- ed interest, would call momentarily to the mind's eye a picture of an old building --frame, perhaps—in The last stages of usefulness, worn by time, ready to accede to a -changing landscape. ° And that fleeting mental impres- sion would be right. But behind that dimension of the imagination, out of the ken of those readers yet still in the memory of a few, is a story of people, a settlement, pro- gress, retrogress and the moving marks of time. * * * It was late in the 1860's. The battle sounds of the American Civ- il War had given place to -the rum- ble of carts and motion of hoof $eats but of the blistered, broken lands and homesteads of the beat- en South. In the victory -flushed North a military -forged administra- tion and the growing giant of in- dustrialism was heaving the popu- lation restlessly in another man- ner. Some stayed put; 'uncomfort- a uncomfort- able for awhile, then got rich, poor or indifferent. Others had been Ire Comfortable already and didn't stay .put. 'One of these was a proverbially Canny Scot by the name of Alexan- der Murchie. Alert Murchie and his Mania family had heard their last "".Lang Syne" in the land of heath- Ott and touched Amnerioa;u nod Jed 1S about the time Lincoln and Doug- las were splitting words and issues over the Democratic nomination of a century ago. Before this adopted soil of Murchie's began to simmer with the battle and blood of its own countrymen, .the Scot figured the time was apt to find a quieter clime. Winked and Went Before he left, however, the can- ny Character accredited to his race had its fling. Under the set-up of the American militia regulations any draftee was allowed the exemp- tion of "substitution." If he could ,find a man to take his place in the ranks, and, pay him a healthy cash token to do so, he was free to for- get about service obligation. One such citizen with no inclina- tion for military experience ap- proached, with purse in pocket, Alert Murchie. The latter agreed to hist path in the substitution, pocket- ed the purse Mir:mein and then, as the word goes, cannily winked . , . at the service obligation. and. let o'ut of the country. ,Eighteen -fifty-eight then, found. Murchie, his wife and two small daughters in Canada and construct- ing a dwelling place for themselves on the gradually 'settling lands a few miles north of Seaforth. There, at a corner on the North 'Gravel Road, called, Ballabay or Bailey Bay, he fenced his• laird, roofed his' house and called it home. It Was not un- til several years later, when the Muroohie's had stocked an arra/ of general niershandise to trade with e THE WEE STORE: PICTURED IN THE WINTERTIME an increasing number of pioneer farmers and had opened' the post office, that the corner took on its present identification—Wiinthrop. Times Were Good In the years that followed Mur - dale's .building of the "wee store," Winthrop grew in length and breadth. As settlers •progressively toiled northward, clearing the bush areas, raising their sliarns and fam- ilies as they went, the railroad had been working weaterard. When Alex Murchie passed "tae the Ither side" in 1887 the iron horse, had a generation before made its trail through Seaforth, county gavern- aneet was fufl4tioning and :times+ were "good." Work to drain ireeleee hog Meat that lay aroiliid Whither* had :b®• iii gun, and settlement was still reach- ing. Where business 'establish- ments at the corner could have once been included in six short Words—the "wee store" and a mIU —there was now another general store, two blacksmith shops, a saw mill, grist mill, two tavern's, a brick yard, and later a cheese factory and hog pen Second Of Three Owners In the midst of this 'ahaage in its surroundings, the "wee store" continued to flourish in the Murchie family; Katie, the elder of Alex's two daughters, kept the businesai in the family, while her sister mar- ried and moved to Walton, a feat growing community 'six miles fai'- ther up the north road. After her Mother died in 1905, 'however, Katie •elected to sell the building and business her father had created 50 years earlier and retire to Sea - forth. On a brisk safternoon in the aut- umn of 1912 the "wee store" fell by auction to the ownership of a well - liked district farmer, John Mont- gomery. ont- gomery. The second of only three owners in the store's 94 -year history, John Montgomery moved into hie new ,home and .business with five chil- dren. And for this family, "wee" though the store may have been, there was no fear of its endurance as a home: over half a century be- fore the canny old Scot, Alex Mur- chie, had made sure of that, as, he hewed its 'rafters and slatting from sturdy hemlock and temple. The Greener Fields But as John 1Vlontgomery and his brood came to the "wee store," so came ire Winthrop the restless ef- fect of 'a progressing age. The land was cleared and fully settled now; county areas had .been divisioned, school section's proportioned and road construction fulfilled. Young men were hearing, and answering, the lures of the town and cities 'as tbe issue of 'business and industry matched and shortly replaced agri- cuiture as the richest •erovincial product. The community, robbed of its own by greater, relentless progress, economically weakened' and was left to retrogress. The 'bustling mills and smf�hys Were quiet. Step and, daughtord moved to greeter fields' and Winthrop, marking a des- tiny, realized its new identity as just a corner with a store, one last mill, a church, school and a few houses, Time, and its dress signature Of years, moved on, End Of An Era Nineteen fifty-one: John Montgom- ery was, dead. Hia family, grown and with families of their own, de- cided to sell the "wee store," leave the unfinished chart of its history to another, and follow personal pur- suits. Austin Dolmage, district farmer and father of three sans on their own forms, became the third and last owner of the old land- mark. Mr. Dolmage, moved by the forc- es of necessity and ambition, realiz- ed the historic "wee store" was just that: too wee, too aged, inadequate. As a home and place of business, he left in its hemlock timbers, and. in the recollection of a few, that nostalgic history of events and peo- ple .belonging to a bygone era. Austin Dolmage, leas than a year later, erected a new building, di- rectly behind the "wee store." * * * And there's the story: a 94 -year - history, enfolding a people, their place and their progress, and evolv- ing around one "wee store" --the store the classified advertisement meant when it read: For Sale. — Old Winthrop store, size 18'x27'.
