Some correspondence from the Department of Agriculture re a 'teenage driving rodeo was read and discussed. This was followed by- suggest- ions for stone for the Centennial Gates.

He was found by his son, Arden, when he returned from Watford School where he is. a member of the teaching staff. At first he thought his father asleep. His book and pipe lay beside him just as if he had put them down. The deceased man was born February 23, 1876. When a small child he was adopted by the late Mr. and Mrs, George Grainger, As a young man he went to make his home in Alvinston where he lived for over 50 years, and made many friends. He was married to Miss Bessie McNeil who predeceased him 40 years- ago. For a time he tried to keep his little family together, but after a year, Ardell, Murray and Marie came to live with their great uncle' and aunt, Thomas and the Misses Brownett. Russel re- mained in Alvinston until he was 16 and then lie joined his brothers here. Marguerite was raised by a relative of her mother's in the west. During the years, George Grain- ger spent considerable time here with relatives but the Grand Cen- tral Hotel, Alvinston, was home to him, Only the Saturday before his demise, he had been over to make arrangements to go back there. He had been ill with pneumonia, early in the winter and then un- derwent surgery in Clinton Public Hospital on March 9. Following this he recuperated at,, the home of his daughter in Exeter. He had gone to be with Arden on April. 15. The late Mr. Grainger was keen- ly interested in sports. He loved horses and during the past few years took charge of a string of race horses for a friend. He was a member of the Canad- ian Order of Forresters. Before moving to Alvinston he wa s a member of Trinity Church. In Al- vinston he attended the Presby- terian Church. - Surviving, are three sons: Neil Ardell, Watford; Murray and Rus- sell, Bayfield; two daughters, Mar- ie (Mrs, Gerald- Hamilton) Exe- ter; and Marguerite .(Mrs. David Johnson) Portland Oregon; four- teen grandchildren and a brother John Barclay, Lucknow. The funeral was held from the Black funeral chapel, Alvinston, on Wednesday afternopn, April 25. It was in charge of the Rev. H. R. Williams, Strathroy, and interment made in Alvinston Cemetery. Pallbearers were: Bill Columbus, Stewart Simpsori„ Robert McEach- elm, Frank Northcott, Hugh Ferg- uson, Daniel McIntyre. Flower- bearers were: Ed McLean, Harry Binder, Ernest Ross, I. Patterson. Attending the funeral from this district were: Mr. and Mrs. Rus- sell Grainger, Elaine, Mary Evelyn a n d Helen Grainger, Murray Grainger, Mrs. T. Snowden, Mrs. J. Keys, Mrs. W.

AS a, temporary measure, a large tarpaulin -was spread over the structure after the last Spark had been. extinguished. The origin of the fire is a mys, tery. It evidently started on the back verandah. Mrs. Francis alsO lost a washing which had' not. dried.
