Charlie wants a better Huron Riding and he means it. He's a digger not a scratcher. He'll discover those area problernS' and he'll meet the people concerned face to face to discuss them. 'And he's not afraid, of getting his boots dirty if its going to promote Huron and.Middlesex. 4-le's a member of the 'Tax Review Committee of County Council, and a member of the Social Services Committee, „He belongs to many Federal .and.Procincial animal breeding associations. He's served on the Regional Development Council for eight years '— latterly as vice-president and he's served on the Huron Planning . Board — last year as chairman. Charlie is a farmer and understands farming problems. He's convinced that the sugar beet industry could be revived in -Huron and Middlesex. He feels there are better ways of marketing corn in peak periods and he'd like to encourage more Canadian farmers to become involved in livestock breeding. And Charlie will fight for other benefits, too. For instance, he'd like more area development, he beliekres in Goderich Harbor as a potential Great Lakes port, he feels that Sky Harbor airport should be maintained and would fight for a subsidy, if necessary. Stimulation of local industry is another key issue Charlie believes in. He wants to give incentives to light industry to boost local economy: And he wants to make sure the 'brains' of Huron and Middlesex stay in, Huron Riding instead of heading south or to the cities. A better Huron Riding is worth fighting for, Charlie Thomas is a fighter.

Sir: In a time when there is too much said about the busy time we live in, and many statements made to the effect that people today do not care about their fellow man, I would like to present an argument. My husband and I had occasion to be in Huron County for a week in September, and we found the people there to be warm hearted, and would like to take this method (if possible) to publicly thank them. I have been doing a family history of the„..Melvilles of Bandon, In Hullett Twp., and would like to submit the 'Forward ' from my History- to you. Perhaps this in itself may explain to what lengths the 'people ,of Huron -County will go in order to help others in a task which meant very much to me, but to them was actually not of the same interest.' I cannot think of a better- way-to thank them all, for there were many who helped in passing, by inviting us to their homes, also many , small kindnesses, and it is extremely hard for me to be able to fully express my ,thanks. , They came as a group of 14 to walk over the old territory where my grand- father grew up, and his father had a mill. Home sites, and barn foundations were looked at, and We, spent a very pleasant afternoon by the Maitland River. Of course there were numerous stories told, and I'm sure their. efforts-were not 'v. I ,would like the' Otherpeaple In Huron . County to know of our appreciation and to realize that outsiders think they are a fine group of very hospitable people. They are as nice as the countryside round about them . We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, and will 'remember ,it warmly in our thoughts' for years to come, and fully intend visit- ing the area again. . Margaret Melville Humphries (Mrs. David L.Humphries) Forward Dedicated - to our Children, Bruce, Margaret and Edward ... Some time ago- you asked why we live here, where we came from and who our ancestors were. These same quest- ions have beet. in my mind for years hoW, and at last I decided to find the answers. Everyone needs roots, those who haven't some kind of roots or background lack a stability, a sense of permanence. Those who have grown up, and remained near the land their forefathers settled,., are very,fortunate. They have something which only the continued contact with the past can give, something which we, who , have moved around, are lacking. Because I have often felt a sense of loss in not knowing the answers, I decided to attempt to find my roots, and thereby put my mind at rest.. How I envied those who know where their giandparents came from, lived, what they did for a living and can see even now the fruits of their labours; whether it be an old hottse, a farm the older ones cleared, or a business the family built up through the years.

I cannot say,; I only know that in searching for the knowledge of my family's past, I have found something which gives me great pleasure, and more of a sense of belonging. To start required some thought. Whom would I (contact, and would people be willing to "help? A letter asking for help was sent to the Free Press Weekly (Winni- peg) in April ,of this year - and the letters have been many in reply. It was these replies to my letter which resulted in much correspondence, and the trip to Seaforth, and Londesborough, as well as a side trip to the Records Office at Goderich. In my search I have met many wonder- ful people , those who were helpful in answering questions, those who searched through old papers and photos to find the odd one of my great uncles; and those who also opened their homes to us in the search, leaving the latch of the door out, and Offering a bed, as well as their'hand in friendship. These people are the new- found friends whom we shall never forget, for though to them it may not have been more than a kindly gesture, to us it was a heartfelt thing to do, and not to be ever forgotten. To them we owe a sincere thank-you, and will wish them the Very best i,n the years to come. s Some of these new friends are the des. •C'endents Of the same people:My Great Grandfather and greatGrandmother. *Orked' 'with; ' and these people also haVe their own roots in the area of old Bandon, in Hullett Twp. , as I have. They have recounted stories about the family, and searched their minds for things to fell me, as' well as bringing out books, and documents to show us. This was really the finest thing they could have done, and I am sure my various great ' uncles would have been pleased to know they cared enough to want to help me in my search. To all these people we would like to say thank you, - , - To Mr. & Mrs.4 A.A.Livermore of Toronto, formerly of Hullett Twp. - Mr. & Mrs. George Addison of Sea- forth, - Mrs. David Bean of the hamlet of Carlow, - Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Pipe of Lon- desborough, - Mr. George Carter of Londesborough, - Mr. James Neilans of Londesborough, - Mr. & Mrs. Jack ArMstrong of ,Londesborough, - Mr. Wm. Govier of Londesborough, and his sister also of Londesbor- • .ough, Mrs. Lily Webster, and - Mrs. Archie Montgomery of Blyth. There have been manywho also helped When we stopped to ask questions, aed the ladies at the Record' Office at Goderich were very kind; also those from all over Canada who wrote to send information, or just to wish me well in my search. At laSt I have foiled my roots, and though there still remain a number of unanswered .questicins, the great number already answered, plus the pictures, and stories have at. last given me a sense of belonging.
