ED HIS 190th BIRTHDAY ON TUESDAY
selieved to be the oldest rbsident
of Huron county and certainly the
"Grand old man" of 1-Towick Town-
ship, Thomas Sage celebrated his
100th birthday on Tuesday, January
12th, at the hcmie of Mrs. B. Wade,
with whom he has resided for the
past four years. Despite the fact that
his sight is impaised the general
health of the centenarian has been
good up to aboat a week ago,
At the age of 94 he ploughed be-
t .
ween sixty atm seventy acres of land
for D. D. Sandereon, East of Wrox-
eter and Ise still feels he could plough
as well as many a younger man, if
his eyesight was good.
Fernier, stone mason, stage coach
driver, bushman, this veteran of the
Dpininion is a real pioneer. Receiv-
ing his education in the school of
experience he was of the type that
could turn his hand to anything. He
had his adversities as did overy pion-
eer of this country, but he worked,
and worked hard and provided a
good livelihood for his family.
Thomas Sage was born in Smith
township, Peterborough County, on
January 12th, 1832, and came to
Howick township in Huron County
during the time of the Fenian raids
by 'the one and only railway in these
parts at that time. With his wife
nd family he loadect their scant be-
ongings on the train at Port Hope
nd came by train as fag as Clinton.
From there his wife and family went
by stage to Wingham which at that
time boasted nothing, more than an
old hotel. Mr. Sage followed on a
wagon bringing along the household
effects.
Their arrival in Huron county be-
ing in the Spring of the year, Mr.
Sage took to farming, working a
stretch of land near Illuevale on
shares. Bluevale in those days was
a much larger place than it is today.
He sowed wheat and harvested a
splendid crop as he also did the se-
cond year. The year following he
oved to Proton where he rented a

fact that these men did not get the

Speaking of the great amount of
snow during the winters of his earl
years in this district. Mr. Sage say
he can remember in March when th
snow was 4 feet deep and covered
with a crust that would bear a tean

days lasted about half a day. The
centenarian much prefers a real cold

district has experienced during the
last couple of years.
Briefly Mr. Sage recalled the map-

when the sap was caught in wooden

The possibilities of who will Ve
Warden for Heron County are be-
ing discussed, and if having exper-
ience in County matters is a deciding
factor then Reeve McKibboin -who
has been a member of the Council
for ten years, should be their choice
In the past it has been customary
for a R -eve to be a member of the
Council for at least four years be-
fore receiving the honor, and as this
is the Conservative year there is no
one who has had over three years
excepting Reeve MeKibbon.
Reeve McKibbon had the honor 'in
1926, but has since served 5 years.,
and, although not customary in Hur-
on County, every County in Ontario
on one or more oceaeions has found
it necessary to secure an experienced
man to give the same man the War-
denship for a second time. From in-
formation reteived we believe that
Re.eve Leckie, of Brussels, had two.
terms , as -Warden some years ago,
The Conservative members of the
Council who have two years to their
credit are, J, W. Gamble, of Howick,
31. M, Francis of Exeter, and A. J.
Goldthorpe of Colborne. L. H. Rad-
er of Hay, being the only one to
have three ,years.
The decision will have to be made,
to whether they wish to have a matt
-who coaducted the business of the
Council successfully on a former oc-
casion, and cite whom they know
capable of doing so again, or whet*,
er they wish to give the honor to
practically a new man without the
fortner's wealth of experieece,
Huron is the only County we bc7i,
neve where a second tern,a has
been customary, and we are of the
opilliori that this would be a good
year to ehauge that practiec.
Mr, Rader le the ,only one with
three years, represents the 'Township
of Hay, at%.the Reeve of' that TeSsels
ship was arOen in 1927, one yor
after Reeve M'ci(ibbon had the hott-
er, and for fhis reason we believe
J. W, .should be given a second term,
