DES CLINTON’S RELIEF BILL ABOUT $300 IN 1937 ■One of the most fortunate towns in the province in that respect, the ac­ tual cost of relief in Clinton last year was only slighly more than $300 according to 'Town Clerk R. E. Man­ ning. Employment continued steady throughout the year at the knitting plants and the piano factory and this fact was chiefly responsible for the low relief costs in the twelve months Several families were tided over for periods of varying length, but at no time during tlhe year were more than five oi’ six families on full relief at any one time.

Most of these swords are forged in London, England, by a firm which began in 1772 and which even today does most of the work by hand. Long . ago the Toledo blade was the thing. Qwords cannot be turned out by mass productipn; they have to be made. To change a bar of steel into finely tempered blade needs a subtle skill. Machinery has shortened some of the processes but an eighteenth-cen­ tury swordsmith would resognize a resemblance of method. The swords ai’e made by craftmen who have for generations been en­ gaged in swordmaking. One man be­ gins the task of changing a short, rusty bar of fine cast-steel into a long bright, sharp, flexible blade. Another workng. with an emery ■wheel, the largest grindstone used in industry, grinds the raw blade and passes it on to be polished. Many of the blades are decorat­ ed by a craftsman who works with pencil and paper, with paint brush­ es, acids and microscopes transferr­ ing regimental crests to cold steel. ■From London have come many famous swords. For example, Queen Victoria’s Jubilee sword, Kitchener’s one for the new King of Egypt and an executioneer’s sword for China. The most expensive one was a $50,- 000 State sword ordered by an In­ dian ruler as a present for Edward VII.

MILBURN CO., LTD., PRODUCT Last surviving member of No. 2 Company, 3 3rd Battalion Huron Rifles, mustered in 1865 for Fenian Raid service,. George Montgomery of Goderich on February 2nd observed his 89th birthday. Remarkably healthy and alert, with faculties little impaired, he left by motor just before the supper hour for an an­ niversary party in his honor, held at the hemei of a nephew, Harold Mont­ gomery, of Goderich Township, where ihe farmed for more than half a cen­ tury. Before he left, he related, just as though it happened yesterday, the Fenian Raid scare of 186 5-6 6. ‘When a party of men landed from a boat on the beach, six miles soutihi Godeirch, John Thompson rode horseback from farm to farm at speed, shouting ‘‘The Fenians coming.” |There ment for a few <lays, but the Fenians turned out to ’be some of our own fishermen,” he said. ‘‘We gathered rocks and them high on the banks of Huron, ready to roll down on the enemy.

George on ground at Park, now dotted with big trees, when it was treeless. In 186 6, he went to Sarnia with his regiment to fight the Fenians, but never saw ac­ tion. "I contracted smallpox, however, the onlyi sickness I ever had in life. We were billeted in the Sarnia courthouse,” laughed Montgomery. A non-smoker and teetotaler, veteran had no advice for people. “Let them read tlieir Bible. They know whait’s wrong and what’s right What’s the use of harping about it.” Mr. Montgomery’s grandfather was in the British army 42 years and Berved under Wellington. His father also was a “regular.” The only regret of the near non­ agenarian’s life is that he never had children. ‘He was married 53 years. His wife formerly jane Henderson, died in 1923. He himself is the last of a family of eight. “Anybody who doesn’t like chil­ dren and music is not human,” he commented crisply. “I have never missed a morning in my life that I have not eaten oatmeal porridge, but that’s about the only thing Scotch about me.” —London Free Fress Montgomery drilled present Courthouse Quite a number of visitors were in to see the ice jam at the mouth of the river.
