For at 7 acid 12 "a in.., 1 and 6 p.m„ after the clock has chimed the hour, Mr. Cornish rings the bell "about 15 times" to mark the significance of the hour, Mr. Cornish isn't sure why it should be rung 15 times and he concedes that he sometimes rings it "more or less" de- pending on whether his count- ing hasbeen accurate. He re - eel's once the late Joseph Se- nior, when he was clerk, sug- gested it be increased to 18 but no action was taken on the request. Nor is Mr. Cornish sure that 7 a.m. is the proper time to ring the bell in the morning. "That used to be the time everybody was supposed to report to work but I don't think too many peo- ple in town are on the job that early anymore," he state s. However, he hasn't received in- structions oth e r w is e, conse- quently he, at least, is always on the job at 7. The couple's family includes two sons, Chester and Gerald, both of town; one daughter, Mrs. H. A. (Donna) Woods, Trenton, and two grandchil- dren.
