Home Town
Not very many miles from here
On the banks of the Maitland
stream
Stands the village where 1 was
born
The place of my boyhood
dream.
Many of the older folks are
dead,
They were pioneers, all,
Though gone, their memory
still lives,
But a few I here recall.
Jim Timmins ran a cheap cash
store,
Bill Sanderson, he made shoes,
Bill Messer had a general store,
And then there were thePughs.
Duff and Stewart owned the
saw mill
That stood down by the stream.
Bob McHardy stoked the fires
Walt Paterson drove the team.
Charles Herbert was a good
mill-wright
He lived up on the hill.
Bill Bruce was just a cobbler
And Leeches owned the mill.
Jimmie Mitchell worked his
looms,
And played the Bagpipes well,
Bob Sible had a candy shop,
"Jock" Paterson kept Hotel.
Miss Black taught we younger
kids
Our primary education,
While Mr. McEwan peeked
through the doors
And caused some consternation,
Dan Lewis was the section boss,
Bill Sellers lined the rails,
John Collie met the trains each
day,
John Gardner trucked the mails.
Ira Etcher worked his farm,
Bob Mosgrove was his neighbor,

KEN PATTERSON, of near Whitechurch,
loaned us this picture of the hotel in Blue -
vale which was operated by his maternal
grandfather, William Ross. Mr. Patterson's
parents were married here, The building,
which stood on the north end of main
street burned down when Mr. Patterson
was a small boy and the picture was prob-
ably taken over 80 years ago. His pater-
nal grandfather, Jock Patterson, was also a
hotel proprietor in Bluevale,
Ontario Farmers Union Representative
Addresses Council, Answers Questions
GODERICH-It was "March
on Ottawa" afternoon in county
council, touched off by Mrs. T.
Govenlock, RR 5, Seaforth, re-
presenting the Ontario Farmers'
Union. On a date as yet unset-
tled, a mass delegation of
farmers is to go to Ottawa, de-
manding that the government
stabilize farm prices as "basic
level" and give farmers oppor-
tunity to get back to basic in-
come from their operations.
John Farrow was the village
wag,
Old Mart was too old to labor.
John Burgess was the township
clerk,
John Dimond lived retired,
Bill Sherden was a fine old
man,
That everyone admired.
Bill Stewart always had some
cows,
Bob McPherson the telephone,
Bill Ross, a carpenter by trade,
Charles Wamsley lived alone.
Bob Duncan made a kind of
salve,
Mrs. Bailey did some sewing,
Rev. Hartley and Mr. Pring
Kept the churches growing,
John Billingsly, he had a clock
That hung in the sun.
Tom Coultes lived way up the
hill,
Also a man named Munn.
Frank Scott, the village black-
smith,
Out lived them nearly all.
Except perhaps, one Thomas
Stewart,
And honest Johnnie Hall.
I might mention many more
But space will not allow,
May fond memories be yours,
Adieu, I leave you now.
And if perhaps you'd like to
know
The author of this lay,
Well, he was once a Barefoot
boy,
A son of Tailor Gray.
Grand Censor
Conducts Election
Members of Huron County
Royal Black Knights attended
the annual meeting of Grey -
Bruce chapter in Owen Sound
on Thursday evening. Those
attending were Sir Kts. George
Davis and Lloyd Hern of Exeter;
Sir Kt. George Bailie of Blyth;
Rt. Wor. Sir Kt. OliverJoques
of Hensall; deputy grand mas-
ter of Ontario West and Rt.
Wor. Sir Kt. Walter Scott,
grand censor of Ontario West,
Belgrave.
The election of officers was
conducted by R. W. Sir Kt. Scott
and the installation by R. W.
Sir Kt, Joques.
Ladies of the Owen Sound
L. O. B. A. provided lunch.
Mrs. Govenlock requested signa-
tures to a petition setting forth
"the economic plight of Cana-
dian farmers, brought about by
rising cost of production and
lower prices for the products
farmers sell. "
" They didn't all sign," she
reported later.
At the microphone, Mrs.
Govenlock invited questions,
and got plenty.
Reeve Tom Leiper of Hullett
teed off with a comment that
"a large delegation may not
accomplish anything and hurt
farm security."
Mrs, Govenlock: "The Na-
tional Farmers' Union in the
West conducted a march to Ot-
tawa because wheat was not
being sold. They circulated a
petition and in five days ob-
tained 300, 009 signatures in
three provinces and collected
a quarter -million in funds.They
did sell the wheat; it is no longer
on the farms."
Mr. Leiper: "It is still up to
the department to sell the
wheat, and it may have been a
coincidence. I think it would
have been sold anyway."
Mrs. Govenlock: "The terms
of sale were revised."
Mr. Leiper: "I am all for
helping the Canadian farmer
across the Dominion, but as
far as the march goes, I wonder
if it is a good thing."
Mrs. Govenlock: "We call it
a mass delegation. Mr. Pearson
said there would be no farm
policy voted on at the present
session, but we think the farm-
ers' problems are acute."
Reeve Cliff Dunbar, Grey,
pointed out that Canada is a
signatory to the General Agree-
ment on Trade and Tariffs.
Mrs. Govenlock: "Canada is
the only country that does not
support the industry through
subsidies, and without it we
cannot compete with countries
that are dumping wheat on
world markets. We are not ask-
ing for anything that would
affect GATT."
Reeve Stewart Procter, Mor-
ris: "Is there any assurance that
there will be anybody there to
meet the delegation? Would it
not lie better to put pressure on
the local members? I was mem-
ber of a delegation that went
down in the 'hungry 30's. There
wasn't one member of the Can-
adian government would come
to the arena to speak to that
delegation. There should be
some assurance you can meet
these people."
Mrs. Govenlock:" We ought
to recognize we are in an or-
ganized body, whether we like
it or not, and governments do
fear an organization which can
put pressure on. We are only
asking justice, and I think the
government of the county ap-
preciates that."
Reeve John H. Corbett, Hay:
"Unless we can send a delega-
tion some place soon, we are
going to be shut out. They are
pushing the old farmers out,
whether egg producers, cattle
or anything else. Unless we can
get somethingback, we are
going to be driven out and this
country will be run by syndi-
cates."
Mrs. Govenlock: "The agri-
cultural committee at Ottawa
supports us 100/0."
Reeve Clarence Boyle, Exe-
ter: "I was wondering whether
in focusing attention on the
plight of the farmer --there are
so many people who are not
farmers, and the wage-earners
object to subsidies to this and
that, and yet union wages are
not going up fast enough to
suit them. Is it going to be
farmers fighting labor, and the
capitalist sitting in the centre,
taking profits from both?"
Mrs, Govenlock: "The Ont-
ario Federation of Labor and
Canadian Congress of Labor are
backing the march."
Reverting to wheat exports,
she said National Farmers'
Union delegates went to Red
r
China, Japan, the Philippines
and Hawaii, and they think
China trade will continue,
Reeve Kenneth Stewart, Mc.
Killop, enquired if parity or
floor prices were sought.
Mrs. Govenlock; "Parity on
a basic or limited amount of
production,"
