CLINTON AIRMAN DROWNED
AT GRAND BEND-FIRST
FATALITY THIS YEAR
Grand Bend had its first drawn-
ing accident of ths season Wednes
day afternpon .of last week when
Leading Aircraftsman Harry Beaty/
aged 29, of Kirkland Lake, was
drowned midway between the Caginq
and the pier, Beaty was born at
Guelph. He had been a miner at
^Kirkland Lake. In May of this
year he enlisted with the RXJ.A.F,
and was attached to the Clinton
Radio Technician School, No. 31,
now nearing completion. He was
a former Queen’s University football
star. He weighed about 1.80 lbs.,
and was considered a strong swim
mer. He, with several companions,
was spending the day at the lake,
The lake was rather rough but
there were a great many in bath
ing and more persons were along
the beach as the day was warm.
Beaty was in the water with some
companions and was missed, but
little was thought of it until some
twenty \minutes later when a girl
bather came upon the body in about
four feet of water. It was the first
intimation that there had been a
drowning as no one had actually
seen the young airman drown. The
■body was remoyed to the beach,
covered with blankets and hot wa
ter bottles and a heroic effort was
made to restore life. A ypung la'dy
first took charge and attempted
artificial respiration, A call was sent
out for Harold “Red” Whyte, of
the Exeter Rural Hydro, who is
stationed at Grand. Bend for the
summer. For over two hours Har
old worked over the body until' re
lieved by members of tlie London
Fire Department after arriving with
'a pulmotor. “There’s a man you
want to give a lot of credit,” said
Constable Dory, of Lambton County,
speaking of the untiring efforts of
Whyte, “He has done a great job.”
Large blisters had been raised on
Whyte’s hands and the blisters had
broken, leaving the hands raw, but
he never let up fofr an instant.
Dr. Dunlop, coroner, and County
Constable John Ferguson, of town,
were called to thp scene. Flight-

charge .of Harry Hoffman, of Dash
wood, and was taken to .the Hoff
man Funeral Parlor. The following
day it was removed to the home of
his grandfather, Harry Glindenning,
of Manilla, Ont., and the funeral on
Saturday took place to the Sunder
