This matter has been discuss- ed at the past several meetings, but the committee had been unable to arrive at an acceptable format. It was -decided to ask all •present or past township families to register if they would be interested in submitting a brief history of their farnily in the township. Albert Postma was appointed to register the •name, address, phone number and ap- proximately the length of time the family have been in the township. All interested persons are asked to contact Albert Postma of Varna at 262-5235 before July 1, 1985 if they wish to be included. The committee would ask related families with the same surname to get together and submit one registration. Space will be allot ted at the next meeting on July 17, depen- ding on the number of registrations.- by Ivan McClymont.

Horse racing, athletic sports and games and band masses etc. will be the order of the day on the Clinton Driving Park on Monday, May 25. Let it be understood that this is no gambl- ing affair, but is gotten up by our best citizens for the best of purposes. Although it is a busy time with farmers, a day devoted to recreation and amusement on the Queen's birthday might be permissible. The old Adam is quickened in some men these troubled times. A Londesboro Grit merchant is credited with saying that he would rather have Louis Riel at the head of the Dominion Government than Sir John A. MacDonald. 75 years ago - May 19, 1910 Our roads leading to Bayfield are the most extensively travelled during the summer months and therefore during that period should be kept as smooth as possible. Would it not be well if the pathmasters would postpone their gravelling until the fall, and thus allow those who may drive to get as much enjoyment out of it as possible. Sup- pose the pathmasters along the lines leading to Huron's most popular summer resort try the experiment for one season. Though he has an auto Mr. C.H. Pugh of Clinton has not lost his old love for -a horse and bought a driver and outfit the past week. Yesterday Mr. W.S. Harland reached three score years and 10, being born in Hamilton on May 18, 1840. Coming to Clinton in 1854, he is one of our three oldest citizens, Mr. Fred Rumball and Mr. Thos.

A century's worth of teachers and pupils has attended classes at the little rural schoolhouse. The section is staging a Centennial celebration on the first Saturday in July, with parade, picnic and entertain- ment. Speakers in the afternoon will be Hon. John P.

At a special service on Sunday, May 22 the Ontario Street•United Church will recognize the end of its indebtedness for its New Chris- tian Education wing, which was opened on November 27, 1955. Through the efforts of many faithful peo- ple in the congregation ( who would not cease work until the debt was paid) this celebration was made possible. Little it was thought in 1952 that the congregation which dared make such a great move of faith, would complete it, and make improvements to the church and parsonage, the whole cost over $70,000 ul such a short time. 10 years ago - May 22, 1974 The 1975 salary agreement between the Huron County Board of Education and secondary teachers was ratified on Tuesday night.

Tuckersmith Council will send out a ques- tionnaire to 973 property - owners in the township to determine the feeling on the pro- posed increase in the mill rate for the pur- pose of contributing to recreation programs, in other towns used by the residents. The levy would be placed on the rate only if over 66 per cent of the forms returned were in favor of the increase. The issue arose when ratepayers from Egmondville and Harpurhey protested to council that they had to pay a surcharge to use Seaforth's recreation facilities because Tuckersmith refused to give Seaforth fun- ding for recreation. Tuckersmith refused a grant to Seaforth saying it would likewise have to make recreation funds available to facilities in Clinton and Hensall. dent for 12 years, to form a huge memorial .
