Some of the factories that used the whistles to call their workers include the Doherty Piano and Organ Co., the Clin- ton Thresher Co., the Clinton Knitting Co., and later the Par-Knit Hoisery Co. The factories all blew their whistles at 7 a.m., 12 noon, 1 p.m, and 6 p.m. These whistles were always right on time, except for the 7 a.m. one which always seemed to blow too early. The only one of these factories left is the piano company, which now operates on low pressure steam and therefore cannot blow the whistle. Business and Professional Directory OPTOMETRY J.E.

Each, time he decides to retire from this hobby he declares he receives two or three especially in- teresting old clocks that he can- not resist restoring. Also Mr. Allen still enjoys driving his 1970 Valiant, win- ter and summer, after suc- cessfully passing his driving test each year since his 80th birthday. The secret of their happy married retired life says Mrs. Allen is "to stay up late if there is something you would like to enjoy, then sleep in in the mor- ning so you don't hate yourself before night." Anyone who has met them knows that for them at least, it works. CHURCH SERVICES ONTARIO STREET UNITED C1111101 "THE FRIENDLY CHURCH" MINISTER; LAWRENCE S. LEWIS, S.A., Th.
