RESERVE AND RESERVE FUNDS STATEMENT OF CONTINUITY AND ANALYSIS OF YEAR END POSITION for Nis year ended December 31, 1978 ANALYSIS OF YEAR-END POSITION as at December 31. 1978 He and several other trustees also expressed concern over the supervision of students on trips such as this, questioning whether three teachers would be able to effectively keep track of 42 students. Board Chairman John Elliott said he can see the time coming when overnight trips or ex- cursions , covering great distances are going to have to stop. He said there are several reasons the board will have to start turning down the requests, one of which is money. However he added that to cancel the Seaforth trip now would be un- fair. 1 The Wingham Advanr*, •1 uu«s, May M, MM per 1. !.b , STAFF OF HANNA'S, -Gertle Tiffin, Jim Campbell and Jack Gault togettler, with Althea, and Emery Stuckey and Charlie Webster (absent) operate Hanna's Men's and Boys' Wear. The store has been a part of Wingham for many years, Hanna nc�r::s part of Wingham For almost as long as Wingham has been a town the Hanna name has been associated with business here. And, although a Hanna is no longer associated with the business, the tradition is carried on through Hanna's Men's and Boys' Wear. The Hanna family first arrived in this area from Ireland in.the late 1870s, settling in East Wawanosh Township. In 1880 the family moved to Wingham and shortly after the turn of the century, in 1905 or '06, George Hanna, the eldest son, started in business. His first store was destroyed by fire and he rebuilt in 1907. After George Hanna died of typhoid his mother, Mrs. John Hanna took over the business and reestablished the firm of Hanna and Co. The present building was erected in 1921 and Mrs. Hanna died later the same year. Following her death a second son, also named John, became head of Hanna and Co. In addition to running the business he took an active interest in municipal and community affairs and served as a councillor and then as mayor before being elected to the provincial parliament in 1943, where he served as MPP for Huron until his death in 1962. In that year Clarence R. Cantelon, a long - time employee of Hanna and Co., purchsyed the store. Following his death in 1970 his wife, Althea, took over the business. She has since remarried and continues to operate the store with her husband, Emery Stuckey. Hanna's Men's and Boys' Wear proudly advertises that it tries to buy all Canadian - made goods, and Mrs. Stuckey said this is a policy of the store although it isn't always possible. The store stocks a large line of men's and boys' wear and Mrs. Stuckey said she thinks it has one of the largest stocks of suits in western Ontario. She said the store has always carried a large stock and people have come to expect it. Regular customers come from a wide area including Kincardine, Goderich, Walkerton and Port Elgin. In addition to the clothing sales the store is an agent for formal wear rental, which is quite a popular sideline. Mrs. Stuckey also has quite a collection of antiques including spinning wheels, yarn winders and docks which she has gathered over the years. They aren't for sale but area sometimes used as props in window displays. Six people work at Hanna's Men's and Boys' Wear.
