TIRES REMOVED FROM
STOLEN TRANSPORT
On Saturday afternoon last oua
of the Tuckey Transport trucks Wai?
stolen in London and the, thieves,
after removing six automobile tires
from the cargo, abandoned the
truck. Harold McDonald and Eric
Heywood were In London collecting
a load tp bring to Exeter, Eric had
left the truck standing on Talbot
street while he went into one of
the stores for a pick-up parcel, He
had left Harold McDonald a short
distance away on a similar mission.
When he came out of the store the
truck was gone and
Harold had taken it
him to return. When
to show up he went
him and found him waiting. It was
then they realized the truck had.
been stolen, They immediately con
tacted the police and called Mr.
Tuckey in Exeter,
mediately left for London by auto
and picked up a couple of airmen
on the way. Instead of going right
into London Mr. Tuckey decided to
take the back road west of the Un
iversity into the city. Luckily they
discovered the truck abandoned on
a sideroad and Mr, Tuckey drove it
back into the city while one of the
aiimen drove his car. On an exam
ination of the load it was discover
ed that six tires destined for Mr.
H. Laing, of the Supertest Service
Station, were missing but the re
mainder of the load was intact.
Exeter mourns the loss of one
of its most prominent and active
citizens ixi the person pf My,
Kenneth George Clarice, caretaker
of the Exeter cemetery, who passed
away at his home on Friday, July
6 th. in his 51st year, Mr. Clarice
was taken ill two weeks previous
to his death and from the first- his
condition was critical. His early
life yas spent in London. He was
united in marriage with Miss Fran
ces Bowey, of town, and they re
sided in London for some time.
For a number of years they lived
in Windsor before coming to Exe
ter about ten years ago. Since that
time he has been the manager at
the Exetei’ .cemetery and under his
supervision the cemetery has grown
to be one of the most attractive of
its kind to be found anywhere. Mr.
Clarke was a veteran of the last
war and for -the past five years 'he
has been secretary of the Exeter-
Hensall Branch of the -Canadian
Legion (B.E.S.L.) and hag been
most active and energetic in pro
moting the welfare of the Legion
and through the Legion has been
instrumental in the raising of funds
for Red Cross and patriotic pur
poses. Besides his bereaved widow j
he is survived by one daughter,
•Mrs, Roy Lamport of Crediton and
an only sister, Mrs. Harry Lewis,
of London.
A public funeral service was held
from the Trivitt Memorial Church
Monday afternoon. Members of the
Legion from Hensail, Kippen and
Exeter, including some recently re
turned men were present in a large
body. Zone commander N. W. Mil
ler, county clerk, was among them.
Group -Captain E. G. Fullerton and
a flight from the Centralia |Ajir
School, were also in attendance as
were the reeve and members of
municipal council and of
Cemetery Board.
The service was conducted by
Rector, Rev. M. A. Hunt, assisted
by Rev. Wm, Mair, chaplain of the1
Legion, who read a scripture les
son. Hymns “'Unto the hills around
do I life up my longing eyes” and
“Abide With" Me” Were sung, In
closing the ~>jdhhrai sermon Mr.
Hunt paid glowing tribute to the
memory of the departed. They had
been warm friends, he said. Mr
Clarke had taken a great delight in
assisting with the arrangements of
the various public services that
been held in the church. He
kindness personified. It was
greatest delight when he was
dering service to someone else. He
will be greatly missed in the com
munity. The beauty of the Exetei’
cemetery was largely- due to him
who had its oversight. He loved the
beautiful—the flowers and shrubs.
The casket was draped with the
Union Jack and with a steel hel
met. The floral tributes were mag
nificent. Standing at attention, as
the casket was opened to view the
remains, were Comrades John Wil
lis and Rufus Kestle, color bearers
The bearers were Comrades Dr.
E. 'S. Steiner, Andrew Easton,
Reginald Knight, Peter McNaugh
ton, Sidney McArthur and William
Stone. Members of the Legion acted
as flower bearers. The legion as-
sited with the service at the cem
etery, dropping a poppy upon the
■casket. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lewis,
and son Gordon, of London attend
ed the funeral.

past sixteen years has been a prac
tising physician in Exeter, has dis
posed ’of his practice to Dr. R. H.

comes to'Exeter highly recommend
ed, will take over the practice on
August 1st and will move his wife
and daughter Patricia into the
residence -now occupied by Dr. Dun

has been for the past twelve years.
A native of Toronto he is a veteran

years -overseas with the field ar

Dr. Dunlop, who ’has enjoyed an
extensive practice, and a wide pop
ularity, has made the decision to
sell his practice and his home only
after careful consideration. The
heavy burden that has been placed
upon the medical profession during
the war years and the rigor of
travel during the winter months,
have been contributing factors to
the doctor’s decision. At the pres
ent time he has no plans for the
future.
