Rev. Cook asks, will we be like the
nine who ran off to join their
families or, like the Samaritan who
first returned to thank Jesus? The
leper’s faith made him whole again.
Our thanks to God builds a
relationship with Him that helps us
be examples of living thanksgiving

school year on Monday, Oct. 3.
During the month of September,
the virtue of optimism was given
consideration by the staff and

girls and one boy were
acknowledged as having attitudes of
positive thinking. These pupils are
bright, happy, lively and cheerful as
they go about their days.
October’s virtue under study is
integrity. Integrity means being
honest and sincere with others and

integrity will help them listen to
their conscience and that will help
them do the right thing.

history bookJVew county
promised for next full
By Keith Roulson
Citizen publisher
A new history book, updating The
Settlement of Huron County, will be
in the hands of county councillors
within a year.
That was the promise of Justice J.
M. Donnelly when he addressed the
Oct. 6 meeting of county council.
Justice Donnelly took on the
challenge of adding to Prof. James
Scott’s 1966 landmark book after
his retirement last year. He thanked
the county for it’s support in
providing administrative help. The
Town of Goderich provided an
office in the Goderich branch of the
Huron County Library and
Donnelly thanked branch librarian
Marg Bushell. Pat Hamilton, curator
of the Huron County Museum and
Beth Ross, director of cultural
services for their help.
He praised the work of Barbara
Lovett as his assistant on the
project.
He outlined a couple of the stories
that have caught his eye during the
research including the 1933
embezzlement of funds from the
county by the county treasurer and
the subsequent conviction of the
non-professional auditors for taking
bribes to hide the theft. He also told
of a 1930 bank robbery in Brussels
where the accused young men spent
a year in jail while going through
three trials that all ended in juries
unable to agree either on innocence
or guilt.
Justice Donnelly said the Scott
book was about 153,000 words
while so far his contribution
numbers 130,000 to 140.000 words,
but it will be edited more tightly.
He promised to have the
manuscript in county councillors’
hands by next fall if they want to
publish it in time for Christmas
sales. If they don’t publish the book
he asked permission to publish a
limited number of copies for
himself and others.
Warden Doug Layton thanked
Justice Donnelly for his hard work
on behalf of the county.
