The wea- therman promised noimmediate relief after thermometers sin cer tain pants _ of ,the countr - r.d -ElfffibE""eelafi a Ili es. As hot humid weather continued increasing numbers of people sought refuge at the Lions pool' or by -driving to lake beaches. 'But even a dip in the lake provided but short relief, since on the re- turn drive one became hotter than ever. The hot weather and lack of rain have resulted in water short- ages on many district farms, when wells have dried up. A number of farmers have found It necessary to haul water from the nearest creek to provide relief for cattle. E. J. Box, Seaforth, who has 54 head, of catle on his farm at the Cairn, west of town, is hauling wa- ter from town, a distance of more than a mile. • RED CROSS NOTES The Red Cross workrooms will reopen after the summer vacation for those wishing to obtain or re- turn work, on Friday, Sept. 3.

It was voted on and passed by a large majority that yearly reit*. ions be continued,. The date get far • 1949 is the last Saturday lir, June, at the Seaforth Lion's Park, The Stephenson families held their twentieth annual reunion at the Lions Park, Seaforth. on Sat- urday afternoon with 86 present: including members from Pilot Mound, Man., Marlette and Detroit, I3't li ; `gingham, .Wroxeter., Cltn- S. Stai ey: The e'eat eii r was ideal and a very pleasant social time was spent.. A bountiful mea. was served, after which the president, Ralph Stephenson, called on a.num- ber of those present to give short talks. An interesting article was read from an old Huron Exposito.° dat- ed June 14, 1878, giving an account of the passing of Ralph Stephen- son, Sr.. who with his wife and family came to Goshen Line, Stan- ley, tanley, 100 years ago. They were na- tives, of Yorkshire, England, but had spent some years at Port Hope before coming to Stanley. T"ey had a family of seven sons and three daughters; David, John, George, Ralph, William, Thomas anrl Rob- ert; Jane (Mrs. Isaac Medcalf), Alice (Mrs, Win. Elliott),. and Sus- anna (Mrs. Robt. Drysd'ale). All the members of this family, with the exception of George, w!io went to B,C., remained' in this commun- ity for a number of years and raised families, some of whom to- day are the older members of the Stephenson clan. The Expositor story of 70 years ago said: "Mr. Robert Stephenson, of the Goshen Line, Stanley, died at his residence on Monday of last week, after a few days illness, at the ripe age of 75 years. Mr. Steph-j enson was one of the oldest resi- dents of the township, having liv- ; ed here for about 30 years. He was a man of rare social and good in- te!lectt:al qualities and few men enjoyed more fully the respect and) esteem of their fellows than he. He was.a native of Yorkshire, Eng- land, and wee a hale, hearty man, who was scarcely ever known to complain of illness. He served for many years in the municipal coun- cil and was generally foremost in every good and laudable work, He leaves a widow and a numerous family. His family are all grown up and are prosperous in life. His funeral was attended by upwards of 200 vehicles. He will long be held in affectionate remembrance by all who knew him." In recalling this pioneer family, it can easily be im' early days. Those at the reunion agined the part played by them in the clearing of the forest. Being big men physically, they did their full share in chopping and logging and In cradling the grain in those early days." Those at the reunion recalled that those who followed have reaped the result of their pioneer labors and acknowledged their debt of gratitude to them. In reconciling the present with the past, it was pointed out that the president, Ralph Stephenson, is the connecting link. In his 87th year, he is the oldest member of the Stephensons and his memory goes back to the passing of his grandfather, Ralph Stephenson, in 1878. All these years Mr. Steph- enson has resided) in Stanley, tak Ing a deep interest in the advance- ment of every • good and worthy Cause, Besides his fat;ey. he has 13 grandchildren and 16' great- garandehildren, 'lie snakes his home With his son, Wan, R.
