Mulock The memory of another illustrious native son of Bond Head, the late Sir William Mulock, was commemorated with the unveiling of an historical plaque in Bond Head Memorial Park on Sunday afternoon last, when approximately 200 persons attended the ceremonies.

Known as a humanitarian, he was "a great Canadian, a man of imagination and vision, a pioneer and a leader," said Prof. T.F. McIlwraith, representing the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board, which erected the plaque. "He never seemed to grow old mentally, even though he lived past a century," said Hon. Earl Rowe, M.P. for Dufferin-Simcoe. Other guest who addressed the gathering included the chairman, Mr. Percy Selby, reeve of West Gwillimbury; Mr. Geo. Lisk, reeve of Tecumseth; Mr. Herbert Hughes, representing the Council of West Gwillimbury; Mr. Arthur Evans, reeve of Bradford and warden of Simcoe County; Mr. C.T.S. Evans, Q.C., Bradford, representing the Bar Association; Mr. Murray Mills, chairman of the Tourist and Industrial Association of Simcoe County; Mr. Thos. H. Mulock, great-grandson of Sir William.

Mrs. Alvin Smith assisted at the piano for "O Canada" and "The Queen." At the conclusion of the ceremonies a cup of tea and refreshments were served to the guests.
