HURON COUNTY
Begins Its 101st Year:
-
Contributed to the News -Record by
(Mrs.) N. N. Mclunes '
Since Huron County began its
101st year on Feb. 8th, 1942, it is in-
teresting to note how this county
time inns its present existence.
'In the year 1788 Lord Dorchester,
'ithen the GoVernor General of tlanada,
'divided. What is now Ontario into, four
Sisiricts; .giving each a Dutch name
as a recognition of the Hanoverian
line of Kings. These were Luxenburg,
.Menclenburg, Nassau and Hesse,
`Hesse cdiustitnted the most westerly
:section with the French-Canadian
.town of Detroit as the capital. The
;land .Which Inter became Huron at
Ithat.time was in the district of Hesse.
,In 1791 (Yamadns was divided into
'Upper and Lower Canada and Sohn
Graves Simone was made the Lieuten-
ant Governor mut the former. After
'making an extensive tour of Upper
(Canada Sir John, °Slmcoe and the Leg-
islative . Assembly- divided it into nine
edistiriets in the, Year 1799. What be-
' ameHuron County was 'seated) in the
,district of 'London .
In 1824 the Oaaiada Company was
-formed in London England, and it
purchased from the Canadian governs
menta block of some million and a
half acres of land' at the .price of 3s,
,6d per acre. This block ;of land was
known as the Huron Tract and at
that time had sear+cely a white set-
'tsar.
This tract of land was divided into
townships, each named after a di-
rector in the company and thus we
find than names: Ooiborne, Hu3lett,
McKllop, Logan, Mice, North East -
hope, South Eastleope, Downie, Ful-
larton, Hibbert ,Tuekersmith, Usbor-
ne, Blanshard Biddulph, Williams,
McGillvray, Stephen, Hay,', Stanley
and Gaderich.

When the first council of the Dis-
trict of Huron met at Goderieh in
1842 nearly all these townships" were
/*presented with the addition of onie
called Ashfield.
13y 1837 settlers,began to move
°northward from. Godeiich and at this:
date we find a William Hawkins laid
-out the town plot of Port Albert and
the fame, Lands surrounding were
surveyed, In 1842 so many settlei1
'had Dome into the section it" was
thought advisable to forms a township
north of Colborne and call it Ashfield
and so we finds that on Jan. 3rd, 1842,
a township meeting `took .place at
Sharpen hotel at Port Albert for the
purpose •of electing a council. John
Hawkins was elected councillor and
thus his name- appears in the first "
Huron Cmanty Council as representa-
tive from Ashfield.
In the early part of the yens. 1842
Dr. William Dollop was made the
'first warden of the District of Huron
nerd by the Ontario Government he
Was commissioned to call a meeting
to form the first County Council.
This took place on Feb. 8th, 1842, in
the town hall at Goderich. Daniel
Lizars was the first noting Clerk and
I the first council was as follows: Mr,
Daly from Downie, Johan Galt for Col-
borne, Mr. Holmes for Goderich, Mr.
Hawkins for Ashfield, J, Hodgins for
Bid'dulph, Mr McIntosh for Williams,
Mr. McConnell for Usborney Mr. Se-
bring for E11iee, 1,fr, HeInter for South
Eaathope, Dr. Chalk for Hullett and
1 Tuckeramith and Mr. Dickson for nib -
Inert, McKillop and Logan.
The first auditors were W. F. Good-
ing and Mr. Hyde- and the first regu-
lar clerk was David Don.
Until 1847 the warden was appoin-
ted, by the Provincial government but
in this year Dr. Chalk was the first
warden to be appointed by the County
council, which position he held until
1854.
During 1849 an act was passed by
parliament by which the District of
Huron was dissolved and three count-
ies, Huron, Perth. and Bruce, consti-
tuted in its stead. Goderich contin-
ued to be the county seat for the three
united 'counties until 1853.
In.1853 the county of Perth, by an
order in council, was made a separate
county. This meant the townships of
Logan, Ellice, North ands South East -
hope, Downie, Fullerton, Hibbert and
Blanshard were included in the county
of Perth, and the town of Stratford
was made the county seat. What was
left of the District of Hexon was now
called the County of H:ua+on and, Bruce
and remaind this way until 1865 when
the townships ef Mc illivreay„ Will
-
anis
ams and Bid'dulph were taken from
Huron ansi Bruen and`addecb to Mid-
dlesex. In 1866 Bruce was set asicu,
55 a separate county and Walkerton
was made the county town and what
remained constituted the County of
Rumen.
Although townships were taken
from the east and added to Perth and
townships taken from the south and
added to Middlesex, new townships
were formed in the county ef Huron
as ,settlers moved northward to t' ke
up land, Ashfield, Hullett arid" McKii-
lop townsliipe at that time had. no
northern boundayy' line but when Bruce
county was definitely formed Ashfield
was divided into three parts, namely;
Ashfield' and East and West` Wawa- ,
nosh. At the same time the northern
part of what was then, known as
Hullebt and McKillop was, divided into j
Morris, Grey, Turnberry and Howlett
and thus today Huron County is as it
was ,constituted in 1866, being com-
posed of 16 townships. 1

Increase Your Bond
Purchase
As the war lengthens, Great Brit-
sin's needs grow and grow, and as'
Canada's armed forces increase stead-
ily month by month in terms of men
and equipment ,the Canadian govern-
ment has had to revise' its estimate of
what money must be ;obtained from
the people of the country in •order to
prevent any slackening of pace. On
February 16, the Second Victory Loan
Organization will commence a cam-
paign to raise at least $600,000,000,
In all likelihood„ much mord than that
will have to be raised later in the
year.
No private citizen is in a position
to shrug his shoulders when told; about
this particular problem at Ottawa.
Because in this instance particularly
the government problem becomes the
problem of each citizen which the
government represents. As the gov-
ernment revises the general estimate
of new money to be found, the private
citizen must revise his estimate of
how much he shall subscribe to the
forthcoming loan and another or oth-
ers.later in 1942.
Only if the majority of citizens ac-
cept the necessity for a revision M'the
amount. of Victory Bonds they had
planned to buy in .1942, will higher
Victory Loan objectives be reached.
The most earnest plea which' the
country of Canada can make to the
individual citizen at the present time
is that, he do everything in his power
to increasehis purchases of Victory
Bonds.,

"Hyde Park Deelaration is more
than an extension of the Ogdensburg
Agreement for hemisphere defence.
It it also a joint agreement . . . for
aid to Britain."—Prime Minister
Mackenzie King.
Canada and the United States are
co-operating in the production of war
materials for the nations actively re-
sisting aggression and for the defence
of this hemisphere. Since going to
war Canada has bought increasingly
large quantities of war supplies from
the United States. In the presentfis
cal year her total imports from the
United tSates will be about twice as
great as in 1938. At • the same time
the United States has increased her
purchases of certain Canadian mater-
ials vital to defenee. Since Hyde Park
Declaration ef April, 1941, this inter-
change of defence supplies has been
increased. Each country is now con-
centrating on the production of the
defence articles it is geared to nro-
duce best anti most quickly. Canada
is not obtaining .supplies under, the
lend-lease plan, She pays cash for
Purchases in the United States on her
own account.
When Canada went to war two
years ago She took immediate steps to
ensure the defence of her territory
and, subsequently of key points in the
westetn hemisphere. Since the Og-
densburg Agreement of August, 1940,
these defensive measures have been
co-ordinated with those undertaken
by the 'United States and the two coun-
tries have now worked, out joint plans
for the defence of their part of the
western hemisphere. Both
Canadian coasts are constantly guar-
ded by large concentrations of troops
and by coastal and anti-aircraft guns
located at strategic points, as welt
as by naval and air patrols operating
along 2,000 miles of coast Line andfar
out to sea. In the west Canada is
building a string of'staging airdromes
so that military planes from both Can-
adian and United States centres can be
moved into northern; British Columbia
and Alaska without delay. In the
east, United States troops have re-
placed Canadian forces in Iceland, and
they have joined Canadian troops in
Newfoundland, where the two coun-
tries ace building extensive defence
facilities. Canada and the United
States are in full agreement concern-
ing .defence measures in Greenland.
