Huron East against premiers'
graves being preserved
At its regular meeting ' Nov. 21, Huron East council
voted against giving support towards a resolution to
preserve the gravesites of former Ontario premiers.
The request, brought forward by Stormont-Dundas-
Charlottenburgh MPP Jim Brownell, was to support the
Private Member's Bill 25.
In a letter submitted to council, Brownell said he
believed that the final resting places of the 18 deceased
Premiers are among the most historically significant
sites in the province and deserve recongnition.
"Bill 25 will ensure that the gravesties are maintained
and marked with a historical plaque and that the flag of
Ontario will fly at each site," he said.
Deputy -Mayor Bernie MacLellan said he would not
support the resolution since it was unlikely the province
would ever hand over any money to the municipalities
for upkeep on their gravesites.
However, Brussels Coun. David Blaney, said, "I think
there might be a difference between former MPPs and
us. I don't think it's too much to ask for those who have
contributed to the province, even if we don't agree with
how they contributed."
Mayor Joe Seili seconded the Deputy -Mayor's feelings,
adding that former premiers' gravesites shouldn't
receive any more special treatment than those of the
general public.

KEMENY JONES' 1936 FORD PHAETON
By Bill Sherk. "The Old Car Detective"
The 1936 Ford phaeton was a four -door open car with
folding roof and side curtains.
As a teenager, Kemeny Jones of Ottawa attended a board-
ing school in New Hampshire from 1959 to 1961 and heard
about a 1936 Ford Phaeton sitting in a garage since 1954. He
bought it for $5o.
Kem worked on the car in the school garage. The car
became mobile just before the end of the fall term, and Kem
felt confident enough to drive the 36o miles to Ottawa. After
two days of driving with snow blowing around inside the car
(side . curtains were never weather-proof), Kem arrived
home in the dead of winter behind the wheel of his 25 -year-
old car.
It still needed a lot of work. He rented a garage down the
street from an elderly widow in exchange for shovelling her
snow. He couldn't afford a guard dog so he installed a seven -
foot -high luminous skeleton on the garage door to scare away
any would-be car thieves.
Kem's first restoration was strictly an amateur one based
on what he knew at the time. He welded the weak body,
frame, and running boards all together, creating perhaps
the world's first uni-body 1936 Ford. Thin copper tubing
was welded to the fenders to simulate fender welting.
At first, Kem painted the car battleship gray (see photo),
then repainted it black in time for driving it to California on
his honeymoon in the summer of 1966.
In the late 196os, Kem acquired a 1939 Mercury convert-
ible, and this car had the luxury of roll -up windows. He sold
his 1936 Ford
Phaeton in the
197os and lost
track of it.
