Family histories sought
VARNA - The Stanley Township History
Committee met at the Complex on May 15 to
consider including family histories in the
planner hook. 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.

People
Congratulations to Blaine and Leisa
Stephenson who have another little girl, a
-sister for Michael and Cara. At
may
be in for a disappointment. At church on
Sunday, he stated that "It's going to grow up
to be a boy." •
Bill Reid has been confined to hospital in
'Clinton. Hopefully, he'll be home by mid-
week.
The value of having soil covered during
the winter was evident when.I was Washing
windows this spring. Most years the soil
blows in ,around the storms, but with the
field to the west of us seeded to clover and
more snow cover last winter, the windows
weren't nearly as dirty. A year ago there
was a crust of soil on the lawn and layers of
dirt in the snow, n1gre evidence of soil blow-
ing away.

Sports matches honor Queen's birthday
100 ..ars ago - May 20,1:':5
Friend', countrymen and lovers of British
instit-.>a,nons and Britain's Queen will be glad
to learn that Clinton is to the front this year
again in getting up legitimate sports in
honor of our Sovereign's natal day. 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. Jackson
Sr. being the other two.
50 years ago - May 23, 1935
The silver jubilee of the Blyth branch of
the Women's .Institute was held on Monday
afternoon at the Memorial Hall.
In the afternoon a banquet was served in
the dining room adjoining the Memorial
Hall at which a large number -of guests were
present. Peter Gardiner of London was
toastmaster and Mrs. Gardiner, represen-
ting the first president cut the huge birthday
cake. The speakers included Mrs. Bissett,
Mrs. Gardiner, Mrs. Oster, Mr. Tierney and
Rev. Brooks.
Mrs. Wightman, a former president, gave
a concise and historical talk on "The Story
of 25 Active Years," Dr. Milne gave a talk
on children's diseases and short addresses
were given by Reeve George McNall, Rev. "
1. Mills and Rev. L.V. Pocock. The main
speaker of the evening was Mr. David Gibbs
of Scotland who spoke on that country.
An impressive part of the deremony was
the memorial service for the members who
had passed away in the past 25 years. As
each name was called by Mrs. Carr, a
flower was placed by Mrs. Richmond, presi-
bouquet.
25 years ago - May 19, 1960
Preparations are well organized for
marking 100 years of primary school educa-
tion in SS No. 3 Stanley Township.
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. Roberts, QC, Minister of Education;
Charles S. McNaughton, MLA and G.J.
Goman, PSI, Exeter; Harvey Coleman,
reeve of Stanley. The Rev. T.J. Pitt will be
in charge of the memorial service. The 1',i I It
Brothers and Shirley and local talent will
provide entertainment for the evening.
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. The overall increase from a year ago
is 29.9 per cent. Starting high school
teachers will earn from $10,400 to $12,400.
Teachers with 10 years experience will earn
from $17,000 to $21,900.
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.
