The Huron Expositor, 1960-05-05, Page 11Evans in later years was super- intendent of Methodist missions in Western Canada and travelled about Widely. A large collection of his letters and papers, is preserv- ed in the library of the University of Western Ontario. Evans was probably ill Sarnia during all the time that his mission building was in ,use as a military barracks but he left in the summ or 1838 for the Lake Superior region where he carried on missionary effort for the next year. His trip to the up- per lake was made in a canoe and was not without adventure. The -letter written to the Toron- to newspaper by the Sarnia cor- respondent says there. was divine services every Sunday in the mis- sion at which the men attended. He also says that while quartered in the mission building it had been kept in good order and clean. Ev- ans has recorded that after the re- bellion was quelled conipensatfon was made by the authorities for the use of the building. He makes no mention of any damage beyond ordinary wear and tear. After the detachment from Hur- arn---hod•--been-at-P-0pt-Sarnia.€ • some weeks with frequent alarms of intended attacks, which also reached their families left behind, they were, on February 12, order- ed to Chenal Ecarte, near present day Wallaceburg. There theye re- mained under arms until Marcli 4 when they returned to the St. Clair and on the 8th -were permitted to return to their homes. Captain Gooding's company --left that day, the second company on the 9th, and the third company under Captain Lizars on the 10th. This third company reached Plympton in the evening and were about to settle down for the night when an express arrived to say that rebels (more likely patriots) had assembled behind Fort Gratiot and were coming over during the night. The• Huron were ordered to march back the 14, miles which they had just travelled a few hours before. But when they arrived again at the St. Clair mission build- ing they found that it was all a false alarm. A day or so later intelligence was received that a company of infan- try (Queen's Light Infantry, the correspondent says) was near at hand, having come from London via Chatham and Sandwich in- stead of the nearer rdute through Adelaide, Buchanan's Mill, War- wick and Plympton. With the ar- rival on the border of these bet- ter 'trained and ,disciplined troops .the men from Goderich and neigh- boring townships were permitted to return to their homes. One may imagine that they received a warm welcome after their ben weeks of service and had mem- ories of the troubles of 1837-38 that out a change of shirt or seeks, to march 120 miles and remain. :on-• actual duty for ten weeks. And they will ever War testimony to the kindness, civility, sobriety, contentment and good discipline of these loyal men, than whom no body of officers and men ever left a place more respected and be- loved." While they were on duty on the St. Clair River the Huron men were quartered in the Methodist mission house which stood on the site where the Belton ii,umber Company later had its business. This mission was then under the direction of Rev. James Evans, well remembered today as the man who devised the Cree sylla- bics which gave to the Indians of Western Canada their first writ- ten language. would remain with thein for the -rest of their days. The Lizars .sisters have left amusing and picturesque accounts of the adventures of the Huron men who were called by various names such as the Invincibles, the True Blues, the Huron Braves and even the Bloody Useless. They go on to say that amid the hardships the cheery spirit of Dunlop, who doubled the rations, was even bet- ter medicine e ' m cin e ar the liberal allowance of grog which he dis- pensed. When tlre men moped he would order them out for a march, leading them in,- his homespun, checkered dress and tam-o-shan- ter. His frame seemed capable of any exertion and he was tireless on the march. He disdained any comfort that his men could not share. The death of old Colonel Van Egmond shocked -the Huron com- munity which knew him so well. They recognized that he would have had a difficult time to clear himself if placed on trial after the uprising. Had he been tried and sent to the scaffold there is no doubt that there would have been bitter feelings among his friends in the Goderich area, such feeling as were aroused elsewhere in the cas- es of Lount and Matthews, TIMELY TIPS Don't plant 'soybean seed this year unless it has been treated for the anti -germinating disease, Dia- porthe. Germination tests on this year's seed supplies range from 90% down to 20%. Treat the seed with Thiram, ferbam or Spergon to up the germination to a safe 80% to 90%. Crop specialists with the Ontario Department of Agri- culture suggest you get your seed treated while it's being cleaned, The chemicals are hard to apply unless- you have the "right equip- ment.

FIRESIDE FELLOWSI(IP GROUP Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Buetten- miller were host and hostess to the Fireside Fellowship Group of First Church on Tuesday, evening when there was a good attendance, Mrs. F. R. Cosford was in the chair and welcomed the guest speaker, Rev. D. J. Lane, and visitors, Mrs. Lane and Mr. and Mrs. Livermore, of Clinton. Miss Bessie Grive read the scrip- ture lesson from 2nd Timothy. The newt meeting will be a pot -luck supper held at ICting's cottage at Bayfield On June 8. Mrs. E. A. McMaster gave a humorous read- ing. Mrs. J. A. Cardno introduced Rev. Lane in well-chosen words. He told of"The Fragrant Garden for the Blind" in Toronto, which was most interesting. Following this, Mr. Livermore showed slides of scenes in this county and most- ly of Clinton. He also showed slides of the 'Canadian West. Mrs. F. Kling expressed the ap- preciation of the group to Rev. Lane, Mr. Livermore and Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Buettenmiller, Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can prevent serious di ability and deformity in about four out of every five cases of rheuma- toid arthritfa, seed while there is still danger of hard frost. The seed will simply lie dormant or rot in cold wet 'soil. Not until the sun really warms up and the soil too, is there any growth. Far better to err on the late side than the early. In many parts of. Canada, June is a safer and better planting month than May, and we don't need to worry if we haven't got a spade in the ground in April. Planting seed too close together is another common and serious mistake. Even the tiniest things like alyssum, ageratum, lettuce and radishes all benefit from plen- ty of room. If possible, seed of these should be spaced at least a couple of inches apart, or later the tiny plants thinned to that dis- tance. And larger things that grow say a foot or so high need at least half their mature height in be: tween. This means for medium- sized petunias, asters and zinnias, at least a food, and for carrots, beans and beets, six to eight inch- es. As for depth • of planting, the general rule is . three times the diameter of the seed. This means merely a light patting for small seeds as of lettuce, carrots and radish among the vegetablds-and alyssum and poppies in the flower line. A good -plan is -to- triim--the very smallest seeds with a `^,little sand and sow the two ,together. Then sprinkle with a litle more sand and merely press lightly. With larger seeds such as peas, beans and corn, half to an inch is about the proper depth to plant. If we sow too deeply the seed will either rot, or the^ new sprout will smoother and die before it reaches the surface.

The roll call was responded to by members giving items of inter- est from the current issue of the Glad Tidings magazine. Mrs. McGregor gave the treas- urer's report and placed an "In Memoriam" for the late Mrs. H. R. Scott, while a beautiful poem was read by the president. A pleas- ing feature was the presentation of life e members ' hl certificate membership rtlficate to Mrs. William J. Thompson, of Mc- Killop, the, address being read by Mrs. D. L. Elder. This was a gift from Mrs, ThompSon's husband, and in her address Mrs. Elder paid tribute to the many hours of de- voted service Mrs. Thompson had rendered through the years, and expressed the wish for continued leadership. Mrs. J. F. Scott read a most interesting letter from Mrs. Knox, of the Bhil field, .India, since re- turning from their recent furlough in Canada. After the offering and report of calls made, Mrs. Thomp- son gave a very full report of the Synodical held recently in Knox Church, Woodstock.

Twelve years after the war, 16 million were still living in these cesspools of human misery. - At this time four angry young men -from---Estigland...-toured -the-ca•laps.• of Europe to see these despairing people. On their return to England they insisted that something be done and they were successful, in rousing thegovernment of the United Kingdom to protest to the United Nations and demand more action. In this way World Refugee Year was born. This was to be an in- tensified effort on the part of coun- tries governments, organizations and individuals to do more to solve this problem. Seventy countries pledged themselves to take part - Australia 'has taken 6,000, Norway 1,400 handicapped; overcrowded Belgium 3,000, Sweden 2,000 TB cases. Canada has taken 100 TB cases -in all about 400 people. In- Canada the Canadian Com- mittee for World Refugee Year was formed. Forty-three organiza- tions sponsored this committee: the Anglican Church, Canadian Red Cross, CARE of Canada, Catholic Women's League of Can- ada, Jewish Congress, etc., etc. So, in Huron County a commit- tee was formed to do its share in this humanitarian effort. It is called Huron County World Refugee Week -a Blitz for money -May 16- 21; objective $10,000, a minimum of h dollar per family. The money goes to the United Nations rehab- ilitation program to .' clear the camps of Europe and help in many ways those still in camps in China, Hong Kong, Tunisia and the Middle East. The Blitz in Huron is a further ' effort -over and above what is being done in several of the churches -to encourage addi- tional financial coptributions-sure- ly. . a challenge to the Christianity of Huron County and to all people of this prosperous land.

In- deed there was sufficient agitation within the townships to bring about the organization in 1835 of the "Huron Union Society" to seek re- dress, indicative of the widespread unrest which had brought about revolt elsewhere. The president of the Huron Un- ion Society was a man' whose name is still remembered, Colonel An- thony Van 'Egmond, a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars. He was ,in command of Mackenzie's force when it took its stand on Yonge• Street on .• that tragic December afternodn. " Van Egmond was cap- tured and lodged in jail. He died a few days later from an illness probably caught in the cold and filthy cell. In all he was fortun- ate for had he lived he would un- doubtedly have been hanged by. the vengeful Tories as were Lount and Matthews. Ittook, time in 1837 for news to spread, even news bf ithportance. Word of the uprising at Toronto did not reach Goderich until De- cember 10. The very next day the first company of militia assemb- led under Captain Gooding and utf nanrs_Ga t and Fraser— December 12 a portion of another company reached the village un- der Lieutenant Biscoby. On the 14th this was placedunder com- mand of Captain Lizars and both companies went into quarters. News of the assembling of rebels and patriots on the frontier reach- ed Goderich just after New Year's Day and on January 6 a force of 75 rank and file set off through the woods for Port Sarnia as the place was then called. The force was made up of Captain Gooding's company under Colonel Dunlop, With him were Captain Hyndman and Lieutenants Galt and Fraser, This first company reached the St. 'Clair River on the llth, a second company under Lieut, -Col. Taylor on the 14th, a third company un- der Major, Prior on the 15th, a fourth' under Colonel Lizars on the 16th, a fifth under Lieutenant Wil- son on the 17th andf°the baggage and provisions under Lieuts. Kidd and Wilson about the -22nd. These men had had to dig, swim and wade their way through largely unsettled areas to reach Port Sar- nia; this in cold, winter weather. ' A resident of Sarnia writing lat- er,to a Toronto newspaper paid this tribute to the Huron men: "The settlers of this place fully know what the Huron militia en- dured to evince their loyalty to their Queen and Constitution and to protect the land of their adop- tion from foreign intrusion and presumptuous invasion.
