"Let's make if this Sunda ACASUAL phone call, and "this Sunday" suddenly becomes an extra special Sunday! Whether the call comes from miles away or just around the corner, the invitation seems so much more personal, more inviting, when you hear it over the telephone. Old and young alike turn to the phone when they're in a hurry. A round -up of the gang, a family reunion, a holiday dinner, a big date — it's faster, more exciting to telephone!

JOSEPH RECALLED BY ANNOUNCEMENT 'An announcement of the abandonment of a wharf at St. Joseph, west of Zurich, on Lake Huron, stirred memor- ies of a near -forgotten episode in Canada's history for Victor Lauriston, 77 -year-old Chat- ham newspaper man. Mr. Lauriston, also known as a novelist and biographer, tells the story in the Clfatham News. (By Victor Lauriston, in The Chatham News) Narcisse Cantin died many years ago. The other day came a formal announcement that "the governor-general in coun- cil had been pleased to declare that the Crown has ceased to be in control or occupation of the wharf at St. Joseph, Huron County." ` So . the Dominion government formally got rid of any respon- sibility for a wharf that, built many years ago on an open shore, had been long since swept away. There was no natural harbor; but Cantin visioned a man-made harbor as the north- ern terminal of a canal which, linking Lake Huron and Lake Erie, would bypass the dangers of the roundabout route through the Detroit River. It was about the time Laurier came into power in 1896 that Narcisse Cantin launched his project of creating a harbor city on the Huron shore. A French- Canadian. Cantin visioned a greater future for his race. Near Dashwood, close to the lake, a number of French-Cana- dians from Quebec had settled in the late 50's or early 60's. With Laurier's victory, a move- ment for repatriation to Canada of Quebecois who had gone to the' eastern United States, got under way. Cantin planned to bring French-Canadians from the Chi- cago area to settle at St. Jos- eph, with, as attractions, a lake port, a summer resort, indus- tries, and the canal. He estimated that with an ex- penditure of $5.000 by the Dom- inion public works department, St. Joseph could be provided with a harbor with 10 feet of water, as an outlet for his in- dustrial community. He started with two basic in- dustries, a brickyard and a saw mill, planning to market their output by water to Chicago. and other U.S. cities on the Upper Lakes. Cantin, accompanied by the St. Joseph parish priest, went to Ottawa to explain the immigra- tion scheme. The vote of $5,000 for prelim- inary work on the St. Joseph harbor roused a storm in Par- liament. In particular, John Sherritt, Tory member f o r North Middlesex, denounced it as purely visionary. The Brusels Post caustically commented that "St. Joseph needs a harbor as badly as a goose need side pockets." But J. Israel Tarte, minister of pub- lic works, resolutely champion- ed his compatriot's enterprise. "We are paying large sums for people from Russia and Pol- and,' the minister declared, "and I thought it would be a good thing to bring a few French - Canadians to invade Ontario." The $5,000 was voted, and in no great time ^a pier was ex- tended far into the lake. There, it seems, the harbor project be- gan and ended. The city was planned — on paper. Indeed foundations were laid for public buildings, and a sort of civic centre designed. The brickyard actually operat- ed; the savamill never material- ized; the harbor was left unfin- ished. Cantin's hopes died hard. But in 1920, with a keendemand for scarce building materials, the promoters of the town's ho- tel, which never opened, sold it to a wrecking concern which scrapped the structure and dis- posed of the material. For nearly a quarter century the huge structure. tenanted by birds and bats, had been a con- spicuous landmark of the Hur- on shore. and for the occasional wayfarer a glamorous reminder of Lost dreams. Hibbert Council Names Officials For New Year The Hibbert Township Coun- cil held their inaugural meet- ing at Staffa Township Hall.

An absent-minded professor was awakened by the telephone at 2 a.m. The caller inquired: "'Is that one, one, one, one a's" The professor answered: "No, it is eleven, eleven." "Oh, I'm sorry," said the call- er, "wrong number. Sorry I dis- turbed you." "That's all right," the profes- sor rejoined. "1 had to get up to answer the telephone, any- how." 1 Logan Names Reeve Chaffe TVA Representative Logan Council held its regu- lar meeting with all members present, the reeve presiding.

The road superintendent reported that $72,133.15 had been spent on township roads during 1954, and a petition is to be submitted to the Depart- ment of Highways for a grant on this amount. The tax collector, reporting taxes still to be collected, was authorized to continue the levy with the same powers as pro- vided for by law . for the gen- eral levy. Reeve William H. Chaffee was reappointed Log- an's representative on the Thames Valley Authority and Mitchell Fair Board for 1955. Salaries :and wages were set, being left the same as 1954.

"Oh, yes,' she pro- claimed, "my voice was insured for R.2,000." "Realy?" yawned one listen- er. "And what did you do with the money."
