Ottawa SEAFORTH, Friday, July 27, 1956 Deserves Generous Support Action of a meeting held here Monday in establishing a fund to provide money to assist citizens of McKillop, Tuckersmith and Hibbert, who lost buildings in" recent storms, will be approved by the public gen- erally. This approval should be re- flected in generous donations. There is something terrifying about a wind storm that in a matter of moments can wipe out the work of a lifetime. Unlike fire, which can be equally disastrous in its effect, windstorms frequently cause the de- struction of buildings spread over a wide area. Such storms are capri- cious, striking one property, missing several, then striking again. It is this aspect of a windstorm that, seems to make the damage it causes more a matter of chance. It is somethingthat can't be foreseen, that can't be prevented. The public as a result is generally most sympathetic when some in their midst suffer damage.. Certainly there is no doubt as to the extent of the damage that has been done to the property of district citizens. It fol- lows that they deserve the most sym- pathetic consideration at the hands of those in the district,, who were fortunate in not having been victims of the storm. Congratulations, General Coach In this issue are included several pages devoted to the operations of General Coach of Canada Limited at Hensall. A relative newcomer to the indus- trial life of Huron, General Coach already has. Made a 1h--.... - ne for itself in the community in which it operates, but across Canada by virtue of the quality product which it manufactures. Canadians are rapidly accepting the high standards of living which a present-day mobile home makes possible. This fact is reflected in the demand for General Mobile Homes which has made necessary the ex- tensive construction program which is underway at the Hensall plant. Mobile homes today are a way of life to an increasing number of Can- adians who are employed in tasks that make necessary a certain de- gree of mobility. The construction worker in one town for a year; the service man on strength at a unit for a certain time, are but some of those who are taking advantage of mobile homes. The factors, which have contribut- ed to the growth of General Coach will continue to operate. With con- gratulations on the enlarged plant which are extended to the company, its officers and employees generally, are coupled best wishes for continued expansion and success. Lightning Strikes In view of the almost daily storms to which this part of the country has been subjected during recent weeks, some information about light - /ling which has come to hand, seems most appropriate. Nature's host dangerus killer, lightning 'strikes somewhere on the IkTorth Ai neriean continent approxi- mately once every second. We are 1tld the death toll is almost six times � he averagefortido ds and four times t for hurricanes. stir bing: as these figures nay mud' rel fez tber,, however, ale i lee 366;000 ilii`-r"ligltnin:€ -,, by lightning can reach staggering proportions. Beside igniting destruc- tive fires in forest, city and country, lightning can completely disrupt modern electrical living. And with today's universal dependance on that form of living, disruption can mean much more than mere inconvenience. When electrical appliances and oth- 'er devices were rare, these storms did not cause the degree of concern experienced today. But now most of the comforts of home depend in some way upon electricity and industry and hospitals depend entirely upon it. "Even with its enormously de- structive powers, lightning a Is o brings some compensating benefit," our informant says. "The 16 million thunderstorms that sweep North America free about 100 million tons of nitrogen compounds from the air and spread them over the earth. This gift to plant life comes down with raindrops." On the basis of the rain, thunder and lightning we have had, there is .little doubt but that Huron already has benefitted to the extent of a good many tons of nitrogen compounds this summer. What Other Papers Say : The Biggest, the Smallest (Acton Free Press) The biggest business in the Unit- ed States is small business, says the Cincinnati Inquirer. Ninety-eight per cent of all retail firms in the U.S. employ less than 20 persons each. Ninety-three per cent of all whole- sale firms in the nation employ less than 20 persons each. Ninety-seven per cent of all service businesses em- ploy Less than 20 persons each. In- deed, the vast majority of the busi- nesses in all three categories employ less than four persons. There are some imorals to be drawn from_" the statistics. The first one, we think, is that the health and welfare of the small business is of , foremost con- cern to the entire nation's economy suggests the Inquirer. Hope Held Out For Canadian Farmers (London iee Press) Canadian farmers, sl;'ruggling with difficulties in the present ritty look forward to a bright futUre, accord- ing to Robert McCubbin, parliamen- tary assistant to the federal minister of agriculture and M.P. for West Middlesex. Mr. McCubbin surveyed the whole field of farm production during an address to Huron Holstein producers and noted that surpluses are tending to disappear. He advised producers to watch their markets and avoid panic marketing which tends to de- press prices. Basically the great hope for Cana- dian farmers is the growth of the Canadian population. We are con- suming an increasing proportion of our own farm production. It is like- ly that wheat will soon be the only farm commodity in which the main reliance will be the export market. There is another , factor which should help Canadian farmers in the long run. Canadians are eating bet- ter than ever. The Canadian mar- ket demands the premium products once sought by Britain. A recent letter by the Canadian Bank of Com- merce points out that Canadians are - now more worried about eating too much rather than not having enough to eat. Canadian farmers might well 'stu- dy new trends in eating habits and try to benefit by them. Could we substitute Canadian products such as vitaminized apple juice for the huge amount of citrus fruit now import- ed? Or could we fill thiswant• with tomato juice? There is no doubt that Canadian agriculture is passing through a' try. ing period. Mr. l eCubbii<i, poitits to a brighter future. Ever ttbing pos.

However, rain drenched the hay °while in this position, damaged about 400 bales, causing considerable loss to Mr. Rogerson.—Clinton News -Re- cord. Rock Salt Mine To Be Built After five years of exploration and testing at many locations, a $6,000,000 project to mine rock salt at Goderich is being planned, ac- cording to an official news release of Dominion Tar and Chemical Company, Montreal. The plant will be operated by Sifto Salt Limited; since 1939 a subsidiary of Domin- ion Tar and Chemical Company Limited.—Goderich Signal -Star. Saves Woman From Harbor Diving fully clothed into Gode- rich harbor, Sunday, 21 -year-old Donald Bert MacAdam rescued Mrs. Ruth Shwina, 19, of Kitchen- er, who had sank beneath the sur- face after an attack of cramps. It was the second time this year that a person had been rescued after getting into trouble in the 200 -foot channel between the piers. It was also the second rescue for MacAdam, who saved a 15 -year-old girl two years ago.—Goderich Sig- nal -Star. Deep Fat Fryer Takes Fire Fire which started by a short circuit in the deep fryer threaten- ed Ferndale Grill last Friday eve- ning. The blaze broke out around 11 p.m. and Clinton fire department were quickly on the scene. The blaze was extinguished with no damage to the restaurant. A large crowd of non -directed "fire fans" created +a minor traffic tie- up on- the main street and hinder- ed some of the firemen who were attemptin.g....t.o...reach 'the scene.— Clinton News -Record. New Tank Truck Guenther Tuekey Transports Ltd. this week received delivery on a 31 -foot bulkmobile conveyor tank truck for salt, the second of its kind in Ontario. The vehicle, part of which was manufactured in Jer- seyvflie, Illinois,' will carry up to 20 tans of salt, which the local transport hauls for firms in Gode- rich and Sarnia. The tank truck becomes the forty-fifth unit in the local fleet and marks a 50 per cent expansion for the firm since it was amalgamated in 1952. The transport has increased its units from 29 to 45 in less than four years. The new truck contains a 16 -foot conveyor 'at the back which enables salt to be delivered with- out being touched by hand. It has five compartments enabling the transport to deliver in smaller quantities than truck load lots. The From The Huron Expositor July 31, 1931 • Kidnapping a provincial police officer, robbing him of his hand- cuffs and gun, threatening him with his own weapon, forcing film to drive silently through town streets thick with his own friends, then conscripting him as their chauffeur in a stolen car, two bandits on Saturday night •shot a Mitchell garage attendant through the hip in perpetrating one of the most spectacular holdups in the history of the province. The gar- age attendant was Malcolm Gra- ham, aged 23, son of Mr. and Mrs, George Graham. of Mitchell. Mr. James Shea, north of Dublin, has 100 acres of wheat and all of uniform height. The grain stands 3 feet 9 inches in height and is a pretty good sample. One hundred acre fields of wheat are some- thing new for Huron County. Messrs._ Harry and Manuel Beuermann, of McKillop, have pur- chased a new threshing outfit. Mr. John G. Neilans was elec- trocuted lecttrocuted while working on the hydro line in Seaforth. In com- pany with some other men, he had been putting in a new pole on which there was a transformer, in front of the residence of Mr. I. A. Weedmark, on Goderich St, East, when he came in contact with a live wire. Mr. John Bolton, of the Boun- dary, a few miles east of Hensall, had the misfortune a few days ago to have his horses get frightened just as he was about to engage in doing some plowing, and with the lines around his waist he was caught and dragged for some dis- tance, receiving Ilainful injuries. From The Huron Expositor August 3, 1906 The clatter of horses feet on Main Street pavement makes one feel as if he were in the city. The next thing is the clang of the elec- tric street car. Morris Shea's bus is a very good imitation, but it is not the real thing. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McIntosh and daughter, of London, went through town one day last week in their automobile. Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh are spending their boll - days with Mr. McIntosh's parents in McKillop. Mr. Thomas Quigley has moved his shoe shop into the store ad- joining the new telephone office. Mr. Thomas Pinkney, Seaforth, has sold his fast trotting mare, "Gertie P," to Mr. Skinner, of Mit-: (heli receiving for her $500.

Bull Winds Up in Brazil A high class shipment of Cana- dian Holsteins, consisting of a bull and eight 'heifers, has been sent to the Recife region of Brazil. This is the first time that Canadian Hol- steins have been shipped to that district of Brazil. Among them is a bull, "Banella Starfire," who was first prize junior bull calf at West- ern Fair, London, last fall and jun- ior and grand champion at Huron County Black and White Day held in connection with Blyth Fall Fair.

Return From Camp Members of the 99th Battery, Wingham, returned from summer training camp at Petawawa. last weekend, The Battery was head- ed by Capt. J. A. Jackson. The officer commanding the regiment during their week of training was Major M., R. Oliver, of Listowel. The headquarters staff were: pay- master, Lt. J. A. Stephens; Adjut- ant, Lt. J. J. Lewis, and W.O., Jas. Cameron. The tottal strength this year was 92, comprising approxi- mately thirty from each of the three batteries. The two other bat- teries were the 97th, Walkerton, under Capt. E. McCannel, and the 100th Listowel, under Capt. E. W. Newton, of Brussels. A strenuous week's training was completed and on the final day the regiment en- tered the field competition for gunnery. - Wingham Advance - Times. - Speed and Car Noise Speed and noise of cars racing around town continue to be major complaints aired at council meet- ings. Councillors wrestled with the problem for an hour Monday night but didn't get anywhere. Two main protests this week came from South Huron Hospital author- ities and from picnickers at River- view Park. Cars roaring around the hospital block late at night dis- turb patients there and council has received numerous requests to take action to stop the practice. Apparently it isn't as easy as it looks. In June council erected hospital signs at the four corners of the block to give police author- ity 'to prosecute against noisemak- ers. Hospital officials felt, how- ever, that these signs aren't suf- ficient and asked council, in a let- ter, to change them to read: "Hos- pital Zone, Quiet." Council agreed. —Exeter Times -Advocate. • YEARS AGONE Interesting items gleaned from The Huron Expositor of 25, 50 and 75 years ago. dian Foresters at Cavan Church, Winthrop. From The Linton Expositor July 29, 1881 Mr. Brown got a finger and thumb cut off in Mr. A. Goven- lock's sawmill at Winthrop last Monday. Seaforth can boast of the best cricket and lacrosse clubs in. the Counties of Huron, Perth and Bruce. Mr, Robert Willis, Seaforth, has leased the 'corner store in Cady's new block and intends moving in- to it as soon as it is finished, Modeland Bros., the well known threshers of Tuckersniith, have just go home a splendid new sep- arator threshing machine to run with their engine. It was built by McDonald & McPherson, Stratford, especially for the Messrs. Mode - land. It 'is considerably larger than the ordinary machine. Mr. William Scott, of the 11th concession of McKillop, has pur- 1 chased from Mr. John Watson, of Ayr, one of his grain binders. It has been thoroughly tested and works well. It is drawn by one horse and follows round after the reaper and picks up the sheaves and binds them as fast as a ma- chine can reap. This is the first machine of the kind in the'vicinity. 1 District.AOblituaries MRS.

Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: Inasmuch as I do not expect to be in a position to play my respects individually to all my good friends in Seaforth and the surrounding community, I wonder if you would permit me"the oppor- tunity to say a final farewell through the columns of The Hur- on Expositor. Not only do I wish to express my personal thanks, but also the appreciation of my wife and fam- ily for the many kindnes s re- ceived from so many pule in Seaforth and the surrounding ar- ea. It has been a most pleasant relationship at all times and we can lookback on various pleasant incidents which have oecurred in the past three years with fond memories. We have formed a deep attachment for Huron County and we hope to return in the future to renew ur association. Both my wife and I will be very pleased at any time to receive a note or a personal visit from any of our friends from Seaforth should they ever find themselves in Ot- tawa. Again expressing my heartfelt aappreciation and best wishes to Your ai cerely, H. C. ASHDOWN, Group Captain, Commanding Officer, RCAF Station, Clinton. A PARSON'S SKETCH BOOK (By J. R. HOLDEN) "Be still and- know that I am God." Thus God speaks today even as He did hundreds of years ago, to a restless, striving, anxious clamoring people. But it is hard for people to be still today. 11 they are at home, the radio is blar- ing some rancous music, or the television set is intruding its -var- ied programs upon the home. If they sit down in an easy chair to relax, ten chances to one they pick up some daily paper, and large headlines inform them of the frenzied doings of the nations. But home entertainment soon fails and they must rush off to join a crowd somewhere. There is lit- tle meditation, and the art of con- versation is suffering. God in His wisdom thought that it was wise for His children to have a weekly day of rest and worship. No ordinary nor unnec- essary work was to be done, and assuredly the day was not to be dedicated to pleasure and to sports But the children think themselves wiser than the Father, They re- fuse to be hushed by the Divine provision of the Sabbath. They' most keep going on in the same way, or more so, on Sunday as on all other days. They must switch royal birthdays, and other his- toric calendar holidays to Monday for the sake of long weekend "whoopee." It is "on with the dance, let joy be unconfined," while the atom bombs are being piled up preparatory to a rain of death, People are not still, and so they do not know that God is He who called into being our universe. Their attention is riveted on the spectacular deeds of man, and they forget the wonderful works of God. They have no quiet in their own hearts. and they can not pro- vide peace anal quiet for the world. During many recent Sundays there have been violent storms. Bathers at crowded beaches, tru- ants from their churches. have had to rush in unseemly haste to 'the shelter• of their cars. Tobacco crops in areas where Sunday em- ployment in the tobacco fields is commonplace, have been seriously damaged. But any suggestion that there may he some connection be- tween a desecrated Sabbath and these visitations is likely to be re- garded as foolishness. Be that as it may, where do modern Christians get the idfa that God is never angry? Cer- tainly the idea of an indulgent God who never lifts a finger to correct His erring children does not come from the Bible. The wrath of God can flash forth like terrible light- ning. We need to be quiet so that God can speak to us in quiet ways without the necessity of recourse to unusual and severe methods, Let us not act in such a way that our Heavenly Father has to raise His voice in order to gain our at- tention.

RECALLS WELL-KNOWN FIGURE$ OF EARLY DAYS (By,Maude Redden.) There were giants on the eart in the not -so -long ago in Huron County. We had a family here years back in Huron County by the name of Bell. The old man was always called Grandaddy Bell. He carne from Scotland and ran a grist mill on the creek near the village of Kippen. Ile raised family and ljived there to the day of`tris death. He could walk from London — 40 miles odd -- and be up to his home in time for dinner. His son Paul had a farm and a saw mill just west of Hensall. One time when they raised Bill Grand's barn; Paul was at the raising. The barn was 82 feet .long—one of the first raised in this part of the country. There was the usual procedure. They hauled the wall plate and the purloin plate end on to the building before they' started the raising. When the bents were up, Paul grabbed hold of the wall plate —it was of rock elm ten inches square and 82 feet long—climbed up to the corner of the wall and laid the .end on the (top beam sin- gle-handed. Meets Gas Buggy Paul never drove a buggy, but hada light wagon and brown horse. One day/coming home, he met a gas buggy and the little horse thought the limper thing to do was stand up on his hind legs. The horse cut quite a caper and looked like running away, but Paul reached forward, caught the back - band of the harness, lifted4 the -animal back on his knee and held it there until the last smell of the gas buggy had disappeared. Then he set him down on the road and drove on into Hensall. That was the first record of an automobile driving along the Zur. ich road. Paul Bell lived to be 98 and was never sick two days in• his life. In -the old days when you drove up the London road north and crossed the Mill road at the vil- lage of Brucefield, you could see at the northwest a wooden build- ing painted white with a sign over the door saying, "Surgery—James Stewart, M.D." "Awful Painful" Marks and once ran a fellow, out h of town with a fork handle. One day a stout man by the name of McEwan, crippled into the office. "Doctor," he said, "what's wrong with me?" "McEwan," said the doctor, "you `have a 'contraction of the sciatic nerve. If I. can get hold of it and can stretch it half an inch 1 can cure you. But it will be awful painful." Dr. Stewart sent out for the five strongest men in Brucefield to hold McEwan. He called across to the butcher: "Sharpen up your knives and come over." Then he went across to Kaiser, the black- smith, who had his shop in\back of Rattenbury's hotel, and said, "Kaiser, fix me up a pair of tongs drawn out long and fine at the point." When the doctor got the tongs he cleaned and sterilized them. As the five men held McEwan with his face on the table, the doctor took one of the knives and split his hip open. Then he got hold of the sciatic nerve with the point of the tongs and pulled and stretched it half an inch. The roars of McEwan could be heard for half a mile. It took all the five men's strength to hold him down. But it must have cur- ed him, for he never came back, Went To McGiII Dr. Stewart afterwards went to McGill as professor of materia medica. When Sir John A. Mac- donald took ill, they sent for Dr, Stewart, then considered the greatest authority on nervous dis- eases- in America. His operation, first performed in the village of Brucefield, went down in medical history as the 'Stewart operation'. Bob Marks, a big Irishman, who was one of the men who held Mc - Ewan down, was so strong that he couldn't work. If he forgot himself and squeezed a crowbar, for instance, it would just fall in pieces like a woman making curjy cakes. Bob Marks was the postmaster. He was always called Big Bob Malde Bailiff There was a chap by the name of Phillip Sipple, of the same coun- ty, who was a blacksmith by trade. To show the respect' he was held in, the sheriff made him bailiff. Shortly after this the Hensall Observer went into liquidation. The bailiff, not being too scholar- ly, thought "to seize" was to car- ry away. He drove from Zurich to Hensall, backed his dray up to the building and picked up the press. ' It wasn't quite wide enough for both to go through the door at once. They stuck in the ,jamb and the casting broke, making the press a wreck. A junk dealer had to come and gather it up. He took it home and weighed it. He had little less than five tons. Strong Men Meet • There was a man named Pete Geiger Who had the reputation o£ being a strong man. Tom Sher- ritt was another strong man. He'cl heard of Geiger and wanted to try conclusions. Sherritt was driving along the road one winter day when he met a big man crossing the swamp with a wagon. He turned out to,, be Geiger. Sherritt greeted him with, "I've often heard tell how strong you are. Let's see who's the strong- est." "All right," Pete said. "Let's see who's strongest on the lazy stick." That meant they were to sit down opposite, ,brace the soles of i .eir feet against one another and null on a stick. Pete w - '.ed into the swamp,, where the ground was frozen very' hard and grabbed a little greens rock elm. He twisted it like a match and snapped it intwo over his knee. He brought the piece over to Tom, who by this time was. up and away over the top of the hill! But later, curiosity made hint steal back (when Geiger had. gone) and measure the rock elms. which Geiger had twisted as if it. were a match over his knee. It_ was three and one-half inches, through. Barrel Lifter There was a man by theame of John Gillingham, who fire the salt block for Dr. Coleman at Sea - forth. He would take one barrel and set it on end. Then he would. take a second and lift it on top.. The third he'd lift on that again.. The gross weight of each barrel: was 300 pounds, 'He would do that as easy as one might set a waste basket on top of the cuspidor. There was a time he bet he could throw 42 cubic feet of white oak a distance of 20 feet. A piece of lumber that size would weight, something, over 2,500 pounds:. That's what he threw thirty feet„_ Of course, he didn't say how' he would do it. Actually. he set. it up horizontally about the - height of his shoulder, then he took a snap and shot it a heave side- ways. He was afterward killed by the explosion of a boiler. His ordinary day's work was tot bring in the wood to keep steam in the boiler. When they got the boiler repaired they had to get a horse and cart and two men to do, his everyday work. Hay 'Bargain " In the early days in the County of Middlesex, near Strathroy,, there was a man by the name of: Joe Berryfield. He framed. barns. One year. hay. being very scarce, he took his horse and two -wheel -- ed cart and 'went to one of the • farmers in search of bay. The farmer told him: `You cars have as much hay as you want too carry away on your back for half a dollar. So Joe got two poles, laid them crosswise. and loaded them up with hay. Then he crawl- ed underneath, making a hole in the hay through which he stuck his head. He straightened up and walked out of the barn. He looked at the hay when he got home. "By gee," he said, "I've got quite a bun- dle," He totalled it up and found he had just 1,800 pounds. "By gee," he remarked, I could have carried the other 200 pounds."
