irAciV,EIPOT CIANTON NEWS-RECORD
THVIRSDAY, OCTOBER 10, mg
Mrs. .Robson, .News-
Record On Radio
'Mrs. Alice Mangle Reh.sen,
ton's oldest resident and theCli
ton News-Record were, featured
OA the Cities' .Service Oil Compan-
ies Limited radio program, Sept-
,tember 8th. This program entiti,
;04 "Ontario Patriarchs and Pap.
ers," is broadcast oyes
Toronto at 6:15 p,rn. five nights
;00CA week. The sponsors select;
fog each program, an Ontario
weekly newspaper and the oldest
resident of the chosen town, The
history of the newspaper and the
oldest resident prebuilt into an in.
teresting script which makes de-
lightful entertainment for all.
The following is the scri pt- used
for the "Clinton Program and is
published, for those who were un-
able to hear the broadcast.
Now it's "paper and patriarch"
time on our' Cities. Service pro-.
gramme, and this evening we sal-
ute the contrnintity of Clinton,.
OntariO—which has had Its own
weekly newspaper for almost ,88
years.
Since 1864, eh? Clinton could.
n't have been more than a tiny
vi loge ti en
'Yet, oddly enough, the village
had two neWspapers at the time—
the Courier and the True Briton.
But, as you might meet, neither
paper could get enough support
to operate profitably and both
gave up after a few months. Then,
in the summer of 1865, Edmund
Holmes bought the True Briton's
plant, combined 'it With George
Laycock's Courier plant, formed
the • partnership of Holmes and
Laycock, and started .a weekly
called the New Era.
Wishful thinking eh? Did they
really start a new era of success-
ful publishing?
They did -- principally because
Mr. Holmes and his daughter and
and son all worked Without pay!
Six months later, Mr. Holmes
bought out the Laycock interest
—but shortly after that there was
much talk,. of the Conservatives
starting a new paper, and rather
than get involved in a competitive
struggle, Mr. Holmes disposed Of
the New Era to Edwin Grigg, a
Conservative spokesman.
For which he can't be blamed.
I'd have done the same.
As it happens, it turned out very
well for Mr. Holmes. Grigg started
by changing the. paper's name to
The Monitor and gave' it a strong
Conservative slant, but support
wasn't up to expectations and he
sold the paper after six months.
The new owner had a poor time
of it, too and before long the
paper was back in the control of
the Holmes family—first as • E.
Holmes and Son, and later as the
Property of Robert Holmes, who
eventually sold the property to W.
H. Kerr and Son in 1910.
Then, actually the Holmes fam-
ily was connected with the Clinton
weekly for most of 45- years.
That's‘ight. But it wasn't all
smooth sailing. You see, the Con-
servatives did start a competitive
paper—the Huron Record, they
called it—in 1881. It was origins,
ally founded by Edward Floody,
but changed hands many times in
the next few years .. . and, around
the turn of the century, was
bought by Whiteley and Todd of
the Goderich News. They moved
part of their plant to Clinton and
changed the paper's name to the
Clinton News-Record.
You mean, then, that Clinton
was actually supporting two news-
papers from 1881 on?
S uprising but true! However,
the rivalry came to an end in
1924, when the News-Record
bought out the New Era and amal-
gamated the two weeklies into one
under the ownership of G. E. Hall.
Incidentally, the editor was a lady
—Miss Mabel Clark, the aunt of
Gregory Clark, the now-famous
newspaperman.
Well, that's interesting! So,
since 1924, Clinton has been a one-
paper town, eh?
Almost, but not quite. , Just
about a year ago, brothers Frank
Rev. Dr. Taylor
New 'Anglican Minister
At Gioderich 'Church
One time professor. and Dean
of Huron College, London, Rev.
Dr. ',Kenneth 'TWO, has been
appeiqtea to succeed I)r, B., Farr in ..the - pariah Of St. .,George'S Anglican . Church, Goderich..
Pr, Taylor's birthplace was
Fredericton, New Brunswick. He is a graduate of Oxford Univer,-
,s,ity and General. Theological Col-
lege, New 'York.
During World War 11 he gory,-
ed as a chaplain with the rank
of Colonel and in 1943 was
awarded the Efficiency Decora-
tion. In 14145 Colonel Taylor was
made an Officer of the British
gmpire (PBB).
In 1949 be was appointed, pro-
fessor and dean of residence at
Huron College, from which posi-
tion he resigned in August 1947,
to become_ principal of the Ang-
lican Theological College, Van-
couver, B.C.
Dr. Taylor's duties in St, Geo-
rge's Church, begin October 1.
and Harry McEwan started anoth-
er weekly—the Clinton Citizen's
News—but they discontinued this
venture a couple of months ago,
when they bought an interest in
the News-Record . , . in partner-
ship with A. L. Colquhoun, Act-
ually, Clinton's newspaper history
has been so eventful that I've only
managed to touch on the high-
lights , . . but I hope you under-
stand that the. News-Record of
today is the result of 87 years of
continuous publication and exper-
ience . . . a newspaper which ren-
ders a very genuine service to its
readers and advertisers . a mod-
ern, well-equipped, progressive
publication which has earned its
place among Ontario's most res-
pected weeklies!
Obviously, our salute to the
Clinton paper is well-merited . . .
and so is our tribute to the town's
oldest resident, Mrs. Alice Maude
Robson, who arrived at the vener-
able age of 101 years on July 23rd!
A native Canadian she was born
at Straffordville, near Ingersoll,
the daughter of Joseph Dutton and
Mary Jane Crocker. When she
was 20 her family moved to Roch-
ester,".N.Y., and there she became
interested in church. work and
taught Sunday School. Later she
and the family moved to Milwauk-
ee.
H'mm . . at this point it would
seem she was pretty well settled
in the United States. Did she re-
turn to Canada to get married?
No, she was married in the
U.S. in 1901, to John William
Robson, a Civil War veteran.
They lived in Stoughton, a little
town just outside Milwaukee, un-
til Mr. Robson's death in 1916 . . .
after which Mrs, Robson returned
to Canada and lived with a sister
in Clinton for 14 years. Following
that, she lived for a while with a
step-daughter in Stoughton and a
niece in Ottawa . . . but apparently
Clinton was more to her liking
and for the past 18 years Mrs.
Robson has made her home there,
with a close friend, Mrs. T. J.,
Watt. Incidentally, it's believed
that she is the first Clinton resi-
dent to pass the century mark.
A nice way to bring distinction
to the town of her choice. How's
her health?
Considering her adVanced age,
splendid — and her memory ex-
cellent. She has a wonderful sen-
se of humour and a bright, friendly
disposition. Still interested in the
work of the Christian church, she
is to this day a member of Wesley-
Willis United Church. Cities Ser-
vice congratulates Mrs. And,.
Maud Robson .on her recent 101st
birthday . . , and offers best wish-
es for the future to Clinton's
grand old lady!
In addition to our salute and
good wishes, Mrs. Robson will al-
so receive a life-size charcoal por-
trait of herself by the well-known
Canadian artist, Egbert C. Reed.
It is hoped to present this portrait
to Mrs. Robson in the very near
future . . and the Clinton News-
Record will tarry a full account
of the presentation when it is
made.
