BRUCEFiEI.t 'S CIVIC HOLIDAY
HAD BEGINNING 50 YEARS. AGO
240 Park St.,
Lapeer, Mich.
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
It is at this season of the year
when my mind goes far back to
the old days when on the occa-
sion of July 1st and our Sun-
day School picnic. We all set
out for Jowett's Grove at Bay-
field—and what a day of it we
had! There were occasions
when, I, for one anyway, look-
ed far ahead, counting the days,
yes weeks, when would come
July lst, and then the Sunday
School picnic. And once, about
1909, Percy Clark, Wilson Berry
and I convinced William Scott
that he should take it upon him-
self, an "Eler Citizen" of Bruce -
field and proclaim a Brucefield
"civic holiday" and we all go
to Bayfield ' again. He did.
William Scott was known as
one of the shrewdest business-
men in. Huron County. He ran
a real general store; he bought
wool; he sold oil (coal oil); he
ran a huge grain elevator; I
believe he sort of represented
the Bank of Hamilton as "a
viser" on farm loans at one
time, and he loaned out sums
of money privately to deserving
people to tide them over a
spell. On the other hand, he
was a great salesman and he
believed the best way to "keep
people coming" was always to
be nice to their youngsters. I
can see` him yet, walking fast
to the candy department for
candy "for the young fry."
So, when Percy Clark, Wilson
Berry and I waited on him as a
self-appointed committee to an-
nounce for the first time a
Brucefield Civic Holiday (we
were about 18 then): "Yes, yes,
indeed I'll do that," he said,
and he added, "Jimmy, you get
it in this week's Expositor." I
Every week more people dis-
cover what mighty jobs are ac-
complished by low cost Exposi-

did. It was a great success. All
places of business closed and
most everybody, Including Bill
Scott, took off for Bayfield.
Some of the folks hired the
pavilion, and there was danc-
ing too. Man, yes!
yesterday, while out for a
ride, I noticed a large sign—
"Sirloin steak dinner at Tom's,
one mile east, only $2.99." My
;Hind went back to Bruce Bos-
senberry at the Dixon. House,
Harry Shaffer at Kippen, Reu-
ben Graham at Clinton, and oth-
ers, when they served the same
dinner for 25 cents. I think
Alex McLennan, at the Commer-
cial in Seaforth, in later years
charged 50 cents.
There's been quite a change
in the last half century. There's
been quite a change since the
days when Cecil Simpson used
to pick up the farmers' eggs
(horse and wagon), and since
the Munro Brothers operated
the butcher shop next to Jim
Swan's implement store. Quite
a change since Sandy Mustard
"chopped" the farmers' grain
at a nickel a bag, and Jack Kais-
er shod a horse for a dime. In-
deed, since—and I can remem-
ber when The Expositors came
in a bundle, Mr. Marks, the
postmaster, would cut the twine
and everybody picked out their
own. I wasn't around yet when
some of Brucefield's old time
merchants had a barrel of "spir-
its" about the place for a little
"toddy" for the faithful; nor
when they used to pass a pail
and tin cup at, well, some of
the auction sales, but when I
told the pressman on the
Lapeer paper about it, he want-
ed to know if they still had such
auctions in Canada. He said his
"vacation period" was coming
up soon and he could go to
Canada.
