The leaders are Mrs. Carol Ryan and Years agone history can be fun BY PATRICIA RIMMER Several weeks ago, someone - at the Expositor office suggested to me that I try writing another column along with this one. This sounded fine to me although in the back of -my mind and everyone else's mind too. I thought that this would make my life awfully busy and it is but, this week for the first time I'm trying to write Years Agone. . It is an old column that has been written for years anc? years. It reveals much of Huron County's history and most of Seaforth's past. The column, has been written by Pearl McFarlane for several years and since she had to give up the column because of illness and then a move to Huronview, a few of the employees at the Expositor have been taking turns writ- ing the column each week. During the search for a new permanent author, someone suggested me and I said I'd like to give it a try. t Actually, it's kind of fun to do. There's a lot of research behind it as you have to flip through old newspapers dated from a hundred years ago and pick out interesting subjects. At first 1 thought that would be almost imposs- ible, but actually once you gtart looking over the differ- ent newspapers, it becomes quite interesting. I found several of my friends' mother's and father's names in these old (and not very old) newspapers and thought of seeing these little boys and girls when they were so little. Then you could find wedding pictures of these people a few years later and then finally your friend's birth announcements. It really does become interest- ing. But, then again, that's not what 1 write about when I write In The Years Agone. You're probably wonder- ing how we could keep all of these newspapers without losing and ripping the major- ity of them. Well, each week, someone at the Expositqr, even now, puts the weekly newspaper into a neat book with the rest of the news- papers for that...year. Then when Debember 30th rounds the corner, they are' sent away to be bound and then put into a cupboard with the numerous other books.

Sept. 23nd. years, so I could find inform- ation to write about in,The Years Agone 100 years back, 75 years ago, 50 years ago and 25 years ago. Each week for many. years the writer of the Years Agone has written from dates in those years. While reading some of the old new,spapers I noticed a lot of changes in Seaforth. I read many articles about the fall fair and the sort of competition that they had then. It was much the same, yet the rides and midway was much different. There were dairy competi: dons and you could enter your prize petunias if you wanted to but in the other respects, it was different. For one thing, they had Fall Fair Queens, but it was a real pageant. Now, the girls are chosen as contestants per- haps six months ahead but they are not introduced as being a contestant for months. In the books with all the old newspapers, there is a kit of history. Some good news. Some bad news. Some tif the good news were events Ecuch as the opening of the new arena. pool. high school, public school.. .What? Well, 1 guess s that's good news, for them at least. The bad news included many car accidents. the Stephen Trustoott case and the 1877 Seaforth fire. As you can see, In The Years Agone, has got an awful lot of history and information behind it. Of course, then again when you think of it. today's news- paper and events will likely make the column 25 years from now. Can 'you imagine it. someday. we will be history.
