Plaque Honors Memory Of Early Expositor Editor A former editor and publish- er of The Huron Expositor will be honored on Sunday, June 28, when ceremonies in connection with the unveiling of a plaque to commemorate Sir George W. Ross, the fifth prime minister of Ontario, will take place at the East Williams Public School, Nairn. . George W. Ross, to- gether with W: F. Luxton, for a short time published The Ex- positor until 1869, when it was sold to M. Y. McLean and his brother, Alan McLean, ' The ceremony is being held in conjunction with the East Williams Annual Memorial Service, which will commence at 2:30 p.m. The plaque is one of a series being erected throughout the province by the Department of Tourism and In- formation, acting on the dvice of the Archmological ad His- toric Sites Board of 0ntrio. Sunday's ceremony is being arranged and sponsored by the East Williams Township Coun- cil, and Robert McCubbin, for- mer parliamentary assistant to the minister of agriculture, will act as program chairman. Among those who are expect- ed to take part are: the Hon- ,ourable William A. Stewart, On- tario's Minister of Agriculture; Dr. J. M. S. Careless, Chairman of the Department of History, University of Toronto and Co - Chairman of• -the Archwological and Historic Sites Board, and J. F. Harris, Reeve of East Wil- liams Township. The plaque will be unveiled by Mrs. Grant Newton, a granddaughter of Sir George W. Ross, and dedi- cated by the Rev. K. Hick, min- ister of Ailsa Craig United church. " George W. Ross was born ifr East Williams Township, Mid- dlesex County, on September 18,1841, the son of -James Ross and Ellen McKinnon. 'He re- ceived his early education in a log schoolhouse about two miles from his home, and later at- tended Toronto Normal School,' By 1857 he had embarked on a teaching career in Middlesex Couhty. On June 14, 1867, Ross pur- chased the Strathroy Age, a paper founded about a year pre- viously by W. F. Luxton, after- wards founder of the Winnipeg Free Press. It was a small four page weekly with a circulation of about three hundred ' and fifty. He put in two strenuous years of work on the Age, ,but as he stated, "in spite of every effort to economize by solicit- ing advertisements, writing edi- torials, reporting political meet- ings, gathering social notes—in fact, doing in short the work of several men, rather than the work of one, I could not make the paper a financial success, so sold out and took a partner- ship in the Seaforth Exposi- tor." However, he left The Ex: posit after a short time, and hi 71 became Inspector of Pu lic Schools for the Eastern Di ision of the County of Lamb Di*.:sion of the county of La ,.ton. Ea ly in 1872 the first Par- liam t of Canada completed its fu erm- of five years, and .?•*' s began immediately • a • , „ • • , r K,•• • ,,••• • • • both pa to marshal their forces for the upcoming election. In West Middlesex, t h e Conservative party nominated A. p. MeDon- ald, ,the sitting member, while the Liberals nominated George W. Ross. The latter was elect- ed and remained as Liberal member for West Middlesex until 1883. Minister of Education In November, 1883, Ross was appointed Minister of Educa- tion , for this province under Oliver Mowat, Ontario's third Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. . — Rudeness is a weak Inan'e imitation of strength. A Mild -6 diamond has 58 facets. prime minister, and was elected to the legislature for West Middlesex on December 15, 1883. He held the education portfolio until October, 1889. During this term of office much important work was accom- plished by that department. Kindergartens were established as part of the Public and Sep- arate School system. The de- partment prepared and author- ized a new series of text books in every subject on the Public School course. The Separate Schools Act was emended, and consolidated. Ross secured leg- islation for the federation of' all universities in Ontario and, made provision for the estab- lishment of a Medical Faculty in the University of Torontp and the federation of all exist- ing Medical Colleges. In .1896 Sir Oliver Mowat re- tired from the Premiership and entered the Liberal government at Ottawa under Sir Wilfred Laurier. He was succeeded by the Honourable A. S. Hardy. However, in October, 1899, Hardy retired,on account of ill - health and the Honourable George W. Ross was sworn in as .Premier and Provincial Treasurer on' October 21, 1899. • Explore North In the first year of his ad- miniStration Ross directed the Commissioner of Crown Lands to fit out a party of sufficient strength to thoroughly explore the lands lying between the boundary of Quebec on...the east and Lake Nipigon on the west, with instructions to report up- on the soil, timber, geological formations, . waterways and so on. To 'carry out this scheme, ten parties were organized, each • consisting of a surveyor, a geologist, an expert on soil and all necessary help for port- aging and canoeing. The party, after several months explora- tion, reported, among other things, that they found a`'clay belt" extending from near New Liskeard to Lake Nipigon, com- prising an area of sixteen mil- lion acres of good arable land, and also that the district con- tained an •almost unlimited quantity of spruce for the manufacture of pulp and paper. With such a storehouse of wealth available, enabling leg- islation was passed in 1902 for the construction of a provincial railway from North Bay north - Wards, to facilitate the settle- ment .of the Clay Belt and ad- joining lands, and, to furnish an outlet for the timber and other forest products which they contained. Work on the railroad, known as the Temis- kaming and Northern Ontario Railway, was begun at once and nearly 100 miles had been completed before 1905. The next important undertak- ing of the Ross government was -to endeavour . to open ' a market for the electric power which was being generated -at Niagara Falls, In 1903, legisa- tion was passed authorizing the municipalities interested in se- curing electricity for industrial purposes, to form a Corrunis- sion of representatives of their Own choice to take such steps as they might deem expedient, for the transmission of elee- tricity from the Falls to any point where it was required. (A subsequent result of this initiative was an Act, passed in 1906, authorizing the govern- ment to substitute a Commis- sion of its own, known as the Hydro -Electric Power Commis- sion.) Establish Good Roads Ross was aware of the urg- ent - need to improve public highways, particularly' those leading to county market towns. To stimulate as well as' to' as- • sist counties in such improve- ments, he appointed a Good Roads' Commission and set apart.; a fund of $1,000,000 to be 'paid! out to County Councils in. pro- portion to the amount, ;rgibled by assessment for din- 'better,' ment of leading hightintyt de. cording to a standard fixed by the government. • - 'In 1904 with 'the uncertainty of pending by-elections and "the uncomfortable - feeling that the Government did not represent a majority, of the' electorate", the. House wis dissolved. The election, on January 25, 1905, resulted in the overthrow of the Liberal administration which had been in power for thirty-two years. The Honour- able James Pliny Whitney, who had been leader of the Con- servative Party , in Ontario since 1896, was called upon to form a cabinet. George W. Ross continued to sit in the legislature ,as leader of the opposition until 1907 when he was appointed to the Senate. He was chosen as Lib- eral leader in .'the Senate in 1911 and held this position un- til his death in , Toronto on March, 7, 1914. Knighted in 1911 for his pub- lic service, Ross was the author of "The School System of On- tario (1896)",•.:'"The Senate of Canada (1914"; "Getting Into Parliament and r ,After" (1913); and with William Buckingham. collaboy.ated in "The Life and Times/of the Honourable Alex - and rei• Mackenzie" (1892). The death of Sir George Ross was keenly felt by friends and political adversaries alike. At both the federal and provincial levels he had served through- out mu -of his. life as a de- voted public servant.
