Banish all doubt and hate and pessiâ€" THE ABUSES OF Durham is no exception to any town in Ontario, in regard to the reâ€" lief problem on their hands. Gradâ€" ually national relief has grown from a tiny inifant to that of a colossal giant mism from your life. Let your souls be ever open to the strong promptâ€" ings of faith and the gentle influâ€" ence of brotherly love. Be adamant against the haughty; be gentle and kind to the weak,. Let your aim and your purpose, in good report or in ill, in victory or dqfeat, be so to live, so to strive, so to serve, as to do your part to raise the standards of life to higher and better spheres." This vital deliverance was made so shortly before the great Canadian sercnely passed on from amongst us, alrteen years ago, that it stands out as his inspiring valedictory to his native land. There is a seerâ€"like finality to the following momentous words of, Sir Wilfrid Laurier to the Young Liber als of Western Ontario at London: (By Alex MacGregor, K.C., Toronto, on the 16th anniversary of Laurier‘s funeral, Feb. 23rd, in Toronto Globe) In Toronto recently, Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral Roebuck was presented with a handsome gold watch by Toronto IAiberal Association. In acknowledgâ€" ing same, he not only paid tribute to the excellence of his new time piéce, but enlarged in a touching way upon the qualities of his old timeâ€"piece, which had served him for forty years. A watch that as the years grow o‘er it, becomes more than a timeâ€"piece,â€"it becomes a good friend. Hon. Mr. Roebuck came by his first watch by his father givâ€" ing him a lamb and from this aniâ€" mal sold enough wool to purchase his watch. |_ The Senior editor of the "Raview" \ was privileged in marking another iblrthday recently. As we journey aâ€" ‘Jong the highway of our lives, it | sometimes happens that in looking | back over our shoulders, we see a shaft of sunlight guiding a far mileâ€" | stone that we have passed earlier iin our journey. But we are not to _imagine that if we could travel back to that milestone, we should be able to lay hands on that illusory gold. Childhood is not all happiness. (Peoâ€" ple who say they would like to be children again, mean they would like to be children again with their prosent knowledge of life to guide them in life.) As we approach midâ€" dle life, we begin readily to undexti stand that all along our journey the secret of happiness shines in the sunlisht on the milestones ahcad of us. We wish to thank those, who verbally, or by mail, remembered our birthday. ! The light he laaves behind him lies Along the paths of men." HON. MR. ROEBUCK HONORED bhas done, it remains quite a coâ€"inâ€" cidence. _ Not only is Mr. Firth the last surviving member of his father‘s family of ten children, but the last of his level of many cousins. Originâ€" ally there were six brothers, (who were uncles to Mr. Firth), and each raised large families. All these famâ€" ilies have passed on and Mr. Firth is the sole survivor of the Firth dynasty. Ebe Rurtum Acvicw Mr. Joseph Firth, Upper Town, has the grim satisfaction of being able tewsay that he is the last of his genâ€" eration.

Minutes were read and adopted,. Further plans for our spring tea to be held this Thursday, were discussed. Prayâ€" this date. Legislation, so far, has been light. The Opposition has been criticising every bill that has come before the House, particularly the Police Dirâ€" ector bill. And even in the case of the Dionne Quintuplets Guardianship Bill, the legislators staged a heated debate with the Conservatives voicâ€" ing strenuous protests against cerâ€" tain clauses of the bill. The tactics of the Opposition have been siccessful in one regard, if in no other. They have succeeded in delaying the progress of businces to such an extent that the House is now approximately a week behind in its work as compared with last year. It is fortunate that â€" Easter comes late this year, April 2ist, as it seems likely that the Legislature Never before has a single issue dominated the political scene to such an extent as has this selfsame Hyâ€" dro situation with its much debated and much maligned Quebec power contracts. It has overshadowed evâ€" erything but the personality of Premâ€" ier Hepburn, who continues to add to his reputation by his sterling leadership. No issue has ever gained wideâ€" spread attention as has the Hydro controversy. In looking back over the events of the past month, the charges and countercharges made on the floor of the House over Hydro administration stand out as the most sensational and exciting period in years. It is believed the government, by its comprehensive attack upon the Hydro Commissions of the Conâ€" servative regime, has silenced many of the "big guns" on the Opposition side of the House. The Liberals have given knock for knock, blow for blow, and often their blows have been the heaviest. Preâ€" mier Hepburn may lack experience in the Ontario, Legislature, but eight years in the Dominion Parliament stand him in good stead toâ€"day. The premier revels when the going is heavy and he has instilled confidenâ€" ce in the minds of his supporters by his confident leadership. It is generally conceded that, to date, the Hepburn forces have a deâ€" cided edge over the little band of Conservatives lod by former Premier Henry. Those "experts" who predicâ€" ted that the Liberal "greenhorns" would find themselves all at sea in the face df the strategy of seasoned political campaigners such as Mesâ€" srs. Henry, Price, Macaulay, et al have had to revise their opinions. BY THE WATCHMAN ‘Toronto. One month of the most interesting _ Logislature session in years has slipped into history and a review of what has transpired durâ€" ing that crowded perlod brings some interesting facts to the fore. Hydro Situation Predominant in Local House THE DURHAM REVIEYV _ It would seem also that too many of the citizens on relief, look upon the municipal hand that feeds and clothes them as a means to an end. Not only should they get what they ask for, they want to have all the powers of purchasing where they will. The town Clerk, because he acts as relief officer of the town, should not be the target for abuse at the hands of these citizens that he is. Recently this official was the recipient of a letter from a town reâ€" lief recipient, and which speaks for itself. The letter reads in part as follows: living. The average man in need toâ€" day, depends on the Provincial and municipal governments for their susâ€" We have been getting our butâ€" ter from â€"â€"â€" ever since my husâ€" band started to work last August. I wondered if we could not contâ€" inue to do so. We got so tired of the butter we got in the store as half the time we could not eat it, as there was always some taste or too salty or something wrong, with the dairy. And as for the creamery, we did not like it as you had to swallow it without thinking how many cats and soâ€" forth had been drowned in the cream before it was made into butter. So you see we are hard to please on builter. We have been getting six pounds every week, and if we eat all we wanted, we could eat eight."

Repairs been kept up by the different ers. It is within the memory ¢ In July, 1932, Dugaid Clark sold the mill to Levi Pallister who disâ€" posed of it the following year to James A. McCrae. In 1934 Mr. Lind of St Marys came into possession of the property. * No one cz mill and no date 1857 f to Canada he settled near Guelph. He came with his family to Grey County, settling at the Rocky Sauâ€" geen in 1874, and was therefore very widely known in the 44 years the Fergusons spent at the Rocky Mills. When the church was built in the locality in 1878, _ Alexander Ferguson was overseer. Several people remember a Mr. J. McCauley, who was miller before Mr. Ferguson came. Just what parcel of land he may have owned we do not know. 8 acres was evidently inherited by John Hamilton, who disposed of it in 1877, John Devan becoming the owner. John Devan, a year later had it transferred to Mary Hamilton and ber husband sold it to Alexander Ferguson in 1880. His son Jno. came into posscesion in 1916. This includâ€" ed other lands as well as the mill property. John Ferguson disposed of the property in 1918 and Dugald Clark became the owner. Alexander ©Ferguson was born in Scotland in 1819 and when he came t one of its beams. _ But there is no ° one toâ€"day to tell us whether that is â€" the year that the mill was built or " whether the date was placed there $ by some one passing the moments in carving; or the piece of timber might have been from some other â€" building. â€" _ Possibly the only clue as to the . first great mill in use at the Rocky â€" Saugeen is that furnished by the ( family of the late John Clark, Benâ€" $ tinck,. They ha‘ve a recorded story , Oof the experiences of their parents, : who came from Vaughan township, , York County, to Bentinck in 1850, : bringing with them a yoke of oxen _ and three cows. ? The patent from the Crown for 50 acres on the west side of the river was laken out on Nov. 8th, 1872, in joint ownership by James Hamilton and John Mcliroy. But previous to this there is a record of a law suit in March, 1865, James Hamilton beâ€" ing the plaintiff and Samuel R. Mcâ€" Ilroy the defondant. In 1874 the fifty acres, less 8 acres, reserved, became the property oÂ¥ Ellen Arrowsmith, who sold it to Wm. Bell in 1875. The No one has been able to tell us whelher Mr. Dunsmoor erected anâ€" other mill, but knowing the need of the settlers for flour, there is every likelihood that their need for a mill was met. It will be difficult for us to imâ€" Agine the keen disappointment that was his the following day when he returned for his four, to find that the mill had been burned in the night and his wheat, the result of his hard labor, had all gone up in flames. There was no flour to take home to his wife. We can imagine how proudly he would start off with his first load of wheat to the grist mill at Rocky Saugeen which was owned by Naâ€" than Dunsmoor and stood where the Durhom Furniture Co. power plant is built on the east side of No. 6 Highway. Business was so pressing at the mill that the young man was obliged to leavo his grist until the next day. It is quite possible that he cleared sufficient land in 184849 to cut with the sickle his first harvest of wheat in the summer of 1850. Mr. Clark had travelled _ from Vaughan township up into the forâ€" est three years prior to this and in 1848 had returned to Elora where the Crown Land offices were situated and secured the deed for 200 acres of land in Bentinck. County it was with the purpose of finding land for agriculture. . With the agriculturist came the miller and he sought a site with water power.
