ally landed him in Wingham in search
of a little quietness,
Herb started 'off with Buffalo Bill
as a "candy butcher," that intmal
part of the circus known to the unin-
itiated as a peanut vendor. The pay
was $2 a week "and cakes," and the
hours were a bit on the long side. Lat-
er he went with the Walter L, Mains
circus on their first tour through Can-
ada in 1894-6 as a roustabout, or can-
vas man, In 1903 he went back to
Buffalo Bill's Wild West, this Lime in
charge of advertising, and took a 20,
man crew in an advance tour ahead of
the show, pasting up posters and
distributing advertising. The trip took
him through all the principal cites
of Europe, including Paris, where, ac-
cording to Herb, they really painted
the town—with circus bills,
Eventually the tour took them to
Moscow, across Russia to Vladivo-
stock over to Japan and back to San
Francisco, where they arrived three
years later,
Following his round-the-world hitch
with Buffalo Bill, Herb Nvorked with a
number of shows between 1906 and
1917, including such old timers as
Sells-Floto, Hagenback and • Wallace,
Andrew Downie, the Mighty Haag,
John Robinson, Walter L .Main and
Al. G. Barnes. Mr. Barnes was a native
of Strathroy, Ontario, and graduate of
Western University, who gave up a
medical- career fdt the. circus.
Returning to Toronto in 1917, Herb
joined the Royal Canadian Field Ar-
tillery and served two years in France.
In 1919 he returned to the big top,
working for such troupes as Cole
Brothers, Ringling Bros., Barnum &
Bailey, James M. Cole and (4arclen
Brothers, In 1949, after a Canadian
tour with Dailey Brothers, he left the
circus on doctor's orders, and came to
Wingham for a rest.
Married Twice
Herb was married twice during his
lifetime with the circus and both of
his wives were troupers, His firSt
wife, Olga Bradna, was a member of
the "Flying Nelsons" -troll') of aerial-
ists, She was killed by a fall from the
trapeze in 1919, His second wife, Marie
Morellos, a bareback rider, died in
1936, He has three daughters and three
sons, all at present in circus work,
eight grandchildren and two great-
grandchildren, Four of his brothers
were troupers, the oldest having re-
tired after 63 years with Ringling
Brothers, Barnum and Bailey as an
equestrian.
If you happened to see the movie
"The Greatest Show on Earth," you
will no doubt remember the trapeze
work of Betty Hutton. On the long
shots, of course, the work was done by
a double, whose professional name
was the Great La Norma. To Herb,
however,5 she's Peggy Alexadner, one ,
of his granddaughters.
When asked how he liked retirement
Herb snorted. "I'm not retired," he re-
plied, "I'm just resting. And as soon
as the doctor gives the 0. K, I'll be on
the road again. It's too early to retire
yet, After all I'm only 75."

Coronation Tea
Well Attended
A large and interested group of
ladies attended the Coronation Tea
held in the School Room of Wingham
United Church and sponsored by the
Women's Association. The attractive
and appropriate scheme of decoration
which showed great accuracy of detail
was planned and arranged by Mrs.
George Howson, assisted by Mrs. Chas.
Lloyd, Mrs. Gordon Buchanan and
Mrs. W, B. McCool, The coronation
shades of wine and gold laid the
colour scheme.
Upon Upon entering the room, one noticed
at the front, two large pictures of
Queen Elizabeth, A white embroidered
cloth covered the large centre table,
the sides of which carried the insig-
nia, "E, R." in gold. These letters
were also placed 'at intervals around
the walls. In the centre of the table
was a wine velvet pillow, surmounted
by a large jewelled crown, a replica of
the St. Edward's Crown of England,
the crown which is used in Westmin-
ster Abbey at the moment of actual
Coronation. Here, also were seen dif-
ferent symbols of sovereignty; the
Golden Orb, the Anointing Spoon and
a miniature golden State Coach,
drawn by eight horses, as well as the
blue ribbon and star of the Order of
the Garter.
The pillow was flanked by bright
brass candelabra holding wine candles,
while at either end were brass tea ser-
vices on brass trays, Two large coro-
nation cakes and yellow mints com-
pleted the picturesque table setting,
To accord with the large table, the
fourteen tea tables were each centred
with a small crown set with jewels
and mounted on a gold' pedestal. Wine
coloured glass plates were used for
serving. The same pattern of colour
was followed on the' platform, with
baskets of daffodils and wine snap-
dragon, lighted by softly shaded wine
lamps.
The whole scene was one of beauty
and dignity reminding everyone that
the Coronation of our Queen is really
a religious ceremony.
The table of home baking and the
novelty booths were well patronized,
while the tea tables vere kept con-
stantly filled.
At the door, the guests were greeted
by Mrs, A. W. Irwin and Mrs. Whit-
ney Grose, president and vice-presi-
dent of the Women's Association.
It was interesting to note that the
large crown on the centre table is
over fifty years old, having been made
by the late Mr. A. Morton of Wing-
ham and used by him in a ceremony
celebrating the Coronation of King
Edward VII in 1902.

"SERVING YOU SINCE 1935"
Carnival Worker is "Victim" of Deadly Snake Bite
—Central Press Canadian
A life-saving serum flown to Montreal from Hamilton, Ont.,
was rushed to St. Luke hospital, where doctors appear to be win-
ning a fight to save the life of 23-year-old carnival worker, Armand
Couillard, who was bitten b,' a deadly water-moccasin snake, seen
above. Couillard's left arm was swollen to almost four times its
normal size of the snake's venom, which is being counteracted by
serum found in an angler's kitbag in Hamilton. The deadly moc-
casin, unnoticed by Couillard, curled on bottom, struck at him as
he attempted to put water in the cage containing several other
makes which had been driven to one side of the cage. Working
With some 37 snakes—on exhibit at carnival—since last August,
Couillard, seen at top attended by Dr. L'Heureux, apparently for-
tot to put on gloves worn by snake handlers when feeding them.
voted to the position of chairman of
the social committee, in the place of
Bob, who ha's resigned.
Members decided at the meeting
that the Saturday night bingos would
start again around the middle of May,
and all members will be called on
for help in this project.

Fifty Years with
Frontier. College
Oldtimers in Wingham were inter-
ested in a story in the Globe and Mail
lrist, week on Frontier College, which
featured Edmund W. Bradwin, head-
master of the College and a former
Wingham resident. Mr. Bradwin was
born in Wingham, and was the son
of Joseph Bradwin, who operated the
old electric steam plant here.
According to the story in the Globe
▪ and Mail, •Mr. Bradwin will celebrate
Phis fiftieth year with Frontier Col-
[IF loge in 1953, The College is dedicated
to the project of teaching workers in
the north woods, and employs univer-
B sity students during the summer
▪ months for the work. The students,
▪ who work with the regular work
I crews, and do their teaching at the
iT-4 end of the day, are paid only for their
• work as labourers, and receive noth-
ing from the College. Yet every year
n Mr. Bradwin receives two or three
• times as many applicants for the job
as he can accept,
Mr. Bradwin, who, in the words of

▪ steady eyes, strong handclasp and de-
ll" cisive voice he demands in his teach-
ers" leans heavily on the pre-medical
students as his best material. All

draws are well represented, but pro-
fessional school teachers are scarce.
