Flower bearers 1 were: Philbert Denomme, Victor Brisson, Philip Bedard, Edward Laporte, Nelson Bedard, Paul Beam, John Paul Cantin, Andri Cantin and George Ducharme. Interment was in the Parish cemetery. Mr, Cantin, a descendant of one of Canada's oldest French families, died in Westminster Hospital, London, June 18 and rested at the T. Harry Hoffman funeral home until Monday. Mr. Cantin accompanied by his wife, returned only a week ago to the village which in the eyes of his father was to have been a thriving Western Ontario city. Since 1948 when Mr. Cantin retired from the position as pub lic relations officer for the Dominion Textiles at .Montreal, he and his wife spent summers here and winters in the Quebec metropolis. ’ Veteran Of Two Wars A veteran of both world con flicts, Mr. Cantin served over seas during the first with the Sixty-Fourth Field Battery CFA, and was instructor at the Royal School in London, reaching the rank of captain. During World War II he was a staff officer at No. 3 RCAF Training Command, Montreal, with the rank of Squadron Leader. He was educated at elmentary schools in Montreal and graduat ed from the Royal Military College, Kingston. During his life, Mr. Cantin saw the dream of his father, Narcisse Cantin, dissolve. Shorty before the turn of the century the senior Cantin was successful in interesting Govern ment and financial authorities in the wind-wept Lake Huron loca tion as a potential industrial city. Hotel Built The scheme progressed to the state where a large hotel was constructed and a pier built but lack j?f roads and harbor depth contributed to the dream evapor ating. Closing chapter in the story took place some 30 years ago when the hotel was sold and materials carried away by a wrecking company. Members of a far-sighted fam ily, both Cantin generations were early in proposing a Great Lakes-St. Lawrence seaway. The younger Cantin was an engineer by profession, Following their arrival on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in the 1GO‘0’S, the Cantin family name was synonymous with Que bec. The family built ships at Montreal and later drydocks which for generations bore the name “Cantin.” Born In Buffalo Born in Buffalo, Mr. Cantin spent much of life away from the village. Surviving are his widow, three sisters, Mrs. John Woodcock, Montreal; Mrs. Albert Bourque, Detroit, and Mrs. Edward La porte, St. Clair, Mich,; and two brothers, Joseph, of this commun ity, and Louis, of Montreal, A brother, Napoleon, died in April. His father died in 1940 and his mother in 1948.

The Mohawks now enjoy a 4-2 won-lost record. Joe Mitro returned to the mound for this game after a two- week absence with an injured fin ger. He had little trouble keep ing the radio boys under control and, except for three errors from his supporting cast, would have hurled a shutout. The Mohawks, although they scored only five earned runs, were hitting the ball well and clouted 14 clean bingles including two triples. Two old-timers showed some of the new recruits how to pow der the pill. Manager Jim Fair bairn teed off with a triple in the fifth and pinch-hitter Gerry Smith clouted a sharp single in his first appearance at the plate. The Mohawks sewed up the tilt in the second inning when they shpved five runs around the cir cle. Singles by Fred Darling, Jim Fairbairn and Lome Haugh pow ered the rally while a brace of Clinton errors sustained it. Exeter added two in the fourth after Fairbairn slammed his tri ple. Bob Meharg4 singled to bring “Casey’ home and Haugh’s single brought Meharg around. Joe Mitro clouted a timely sin gle in the fifth to score Fred. Darling after the latter had pounded a double. Harry Holtzman’s long triple drove Darling home in the seventh and Harry scored on Joe Mitro’s hard grounder. Joe tallied the locals’ eleventh run in the ninth after being hit on the el bow by Clinton pitcher, Lefurgey. Singles by Smith and Meharg sent him around. Two Mohawk errors and two singles gave Clinton two runs in the eighth inning while two mis- cues in the ninth gave them an- other tally. Joe Mitro set 1 2 of the radiomen down on strikes.
