In the provincial capital of rro-
ronto it was also a week of eon-.
ventions, with the Ontario Good
Roads' Association (With some 2,600
registered delegates), the Ontario
Plowmen's Association and the
Association of Ontario Agricultur-
al Societies, bringing thousands of
municipal and other public officials
and public spirited citizens to-
gether for deliberktions and plan-
ning for another year's activities.
Your member was privileged to
attend many sessions of these can-
ventions and Was much Impressed
by the careful consideration being
given to minty of our pressing pro-
vincial and local problems.
144 week also saw the official
opening of the new wing Of the
Royal York ;diesel, with 04 Itottir-
ions arid tremendous conVentiOn
facilities, which make Toronto the
convention centre of Canada.
In the Legislature the past week
the big items of business were the
vote on the throne speech debate;
and the :1959 budget, Premier
Frost closed the throne speech de-
bate, and with the support of the
Liberal opposition, disposed o.f
C.C.F. amendment, The official
;Liberal opposition amendment also
defeated by a recorded vote, with
the C,C.F. 'block voting with the
Liberal opposition,
Provincial Treasurer Allan, form-
er minister of highways, brought
down his first budget, which was
also a record one, even for a Pro-
vince now used to record achieve-
ments. Total spending during the
coming fiscal year was estimated
at almost $900,000,000.00, with a
third, or over $300,000,000 being
allocated to the Department of
Highways,
While long ,before thitt is pub-
lished everyone will have seen
partieulars of the budget, a few
items deserve mention again, Fore-
most among these are the increase
in construction grants 'for class-
rooms for new schools; arid in.
crease in the succession duty ostate
tax exemptions for widoWs and
dependent children; increased ex-
penditures for the Province-wide
hospital plan; a large increase in
grants to niunieipalities, arid more
prOVISion for financial aid to the
needy and deserving students.
It could be truly characterized
as another Conservative Budget
predicted on, a belief in the eon-
Untied growth and expansion of
Ontario's bOoyant echntany—and
could Well be also it pro-election
budget.

In •-my previous article I dealt
mainly with the area around Mar-
noch, but I feel that is pardonable
because there is no dearer place on
earth to me than Marnoch, with its
beautiful -Surroundings. However,
in succeeding chapters I propose to
include more of the romance and
beauty of this 'good old County of
Huron, which we love so well.
The early settlers of Huron were
like Abrahann,of old, when he left
his native land of Ur of the Chal-
deans at the command of God, and
came into the land of Canaan. His
first task was to erect an altar and .
call on the name of the Lord, and
there God renewed His covenant
with Abraham. and promised to
make him a great nation. Our early
settlers fUlly believed' in 'that pro-
mise, and that it applied to them
just as surely as it did to the Pil-
grim Fathers, so just as soon as
they were settled in their log cab-
in homes their first concern was
for a place to worship. While they
were folk of different faiths, such
as Anglican, Catholic, Methodist or.
Presbyterian, they had one desire
in common—to serve and worship
the One true God, so little churches
began to spring up 'throughout the
district. As their children grew up
the next thought was for education
and the townships were divided in-
to school Sections, and little sbhool-
houses began to appear. They were
all of primitiVe design, built most-
ly of logs. The first school I remem-
ber was No. 7, an old frame build-
ing with rattling windows and wide
cracks in the floor. A long story
could be written' about that old
school.
' The first child born in Wawa-
nosh, I understand, was to Mr. and
Mrs. Jackman who lived on the
southwest corner of West Wawa-
nosh, at Nile, He was named after
the township, Wawanosh "Waw"
Jackinan. His son, Ernie, is still
living in Colborne Township. One
of the first settlers, if not the first,
in north Huron—that is, the area
north of the Huron Tract— was a
Mr, Snell. He took up land on the
7th 'concession of Hullett, a, farm
now occupied by his great-grandson
Jim, Snell, Mr, Snell at that time
may hot havp been possessed of
much of this world's goods, but he
surely had a •great -deal Of courage
and "what it takes", for it is noted
that just 50 Years after the first
tree Was cut on the farm, stock
from the Snell farm captured
many first prizes 'at the World's
Fair in Chicago.
Aceording to the best information
I can gather, the first settler in
Colborne' Township Was a Henry
Morels, who settled on the 10th
tOneeSSioh about the year 1835. At
that time there were only three
houses in Goderich, Shortly after-
