SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, OCTOBER 31, 1968
tr•
100 Years is a Long Time
One hundred years is a long time and
is a span of history in which' there
have been many good years and some
tad years as anyone reading a history
of Sea -forth can discover.
The Huron Expositor knows how it
feels to be a huodred and fully shares
the pride and happiness xvhich Seaforth
people have on their birthday.
It was. some -months before Seaforth
was born —the preceding November in
fact' — thht the Expositor, as it was
called then. made its first appearance;
• And while it was the beginning of the,
Expositord its predecessor the Express
had been around since 1860:.
'It has been a good 101 years -- -yea rs
in \vhich the Expositor has had the
good fortune and opportunity not only
to record the Nveek by week happenings
100...to contribute in -Npositive way to
the development of the community.
The Expositor through -these years
has endeavored to give wholehearted
and, vigorous support for those enter,.
prises' and proposals that on ' balance
would appear to advance. the :nterests
of the community. The success ;df many
such projects:: and the acceptance of
them by the commenity, has been a sat-
isfactionand an indicatim that our
support has in fact been a helpful con-
tribution.
After all, the measures pt' .a century
must be what has been accoCplished
by way of contributing to a better corn-
munitSr..
It was just twenty years ago in Sep-
tember — just a few days before he
died — that the then editor of the Ex-
positor, Keith M. McLean, expressed it
this way in the last editorial he wrote:
'Men have frequently told us hose
they envied OM' position, because we
enly had to work one day a week —
publication day.. It frequently :happens
that. the editor of a country weekly only
gets paid for one day in the ‘veek, and
no country editor ever got rich at the
buSiness, but there is a fascination
about the work, particularly so when
one is born \vith printer's ink in his
blood.
"1 n'fact it's a good life, aLthough we
have' wondered many times i -f it was
all worth \011ie. What, possibly does
make it so. is because so often it offers
o chalice for service to the town. the
district and the country at la rgJ.'
"We live in a good town and for well
ever 70 years The Expositor office has
been a landmark on its •main street.
Through it flows sooner or later all -that
happens in, town luid ColIntry. We
wouldn't lie i‘n business long if we pub-
lished it 011, and some of what we do
pohlish every week is often criticized,
but we like to think that a good paper
helps materially in making a good town.
and we try to )(.' just that 0 good
paper-.".
During the next 100 years we will
continue to think that a good paper
contributes to a .good townand we vill
continue to strive to bejust that 1-- a
good paper.
Seaforth Looks to Second Century
It is doubtful if those first councillors
when they sat down to the first meet-
ing of the council of the Village of Sea -
forth on a January night in 1868, a
hundred years ago, gave much thought
to what the Seaforth of today would
be like.
, And who could blame them. As heads
of a new and vigorous municipality
they had problems enough of their own,
without gazing' into the distance. Even•
had they cast their thoughts into the
future it is doubtful if, in their wildest
imaginations, they would have corn-
templated the marvels of science; un-
known then, but commonplace to us to.
day. Nor perhaps would they have
thought it possible that the well being
of the individual would have advanced
to such a degree as actually has occur-
red or'that the skirts would be as short
or that 'children and parents could at-
tempt to order each other around on
equal terms.
'While ,there were problems then, in
the light of today's demands, -they
were relatively, simple. They were of
the kind that, could besolved with a
• little more work than the 60 or 70
hours which the average employee al-
ready. contributed each week or in the
barent-child conflict, by a trip to the
woodshed.
While the council of 1868 may not
have contemplated the Seaforth of to-
day it was nevertheless alive to its res -
1 said s few weeks ago that
men are given to gossip just as
much as women—tile only dif-
ference being that men have a
nasty habit of adding a few
• smutty insinuations to make the
story spicer.
A very good example of how
'vicious and insulting men and
women can really be t was
brought to the forefront recent-
ly when Mrs. Jacqueline Bovier
Kennedy °hassle was wed.
I have always been trentend-
ouely impressed with the eharm
arid grace of the former first
lady. Litre everyone else who

common good. In this sense there hasn't
been so,much change after all for among
its early acts was the enactment of it
by-law "to define the width of side-
walks and the planting of trees., posts
and Pillars", which is but a forerunner
to the planning and zoning .which the
council of today is encouraging.
Of course there are differences be-
tween the councils of 100 years and to-
day but underlying the differences is
o common denominator and that is the
,willingness .to serve; to contribute to
the community.'
The members of the 1868 council met

forth.
As we enter our second century we
must acknowledge a debt to, those hun-
dreds of unsung Citizens who through
the years have made,their,contribution.
At th"e same time we must recognize
that the same type of contribution is
being -made by those Who in these years
are serving us.

which we all can be proud. The next

Egmond was probably one of the

he should make a protest again-

In order to do this he pfoposed
to stand for electien to the leg-

form party. An article entit-
led; "The Curse of the Canada
Company", ini'hich was written
by Van Egmond, appeared on
October 4, 1836, in Macken-

indictment of that orgeetizat-
