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.
