• LOOKING BACK
THROUGH THE SENTINEL
75 YEARS AGO
On Thursday last Thomas Douglas,
engineer of the waterworks plant in this
village, had his shoulder bone broken,
in a fall from a bicycle he was learning
•to ride.
Dr. Gunn of Clinton assisted by
Doctors A. G. Elliott and A. M. Spence
of this village, performed an operation
upon Fred Webster of Ashfield on
Wednesday afternoon. The young man
has been very low for the past week with
appendicitis. It was a very serious case
and he is still very low.
SNAPS IN MILLINERY
Every hat in my store must be sold
between now and September to make
room for fall stock. In order to 'do this I
-havemarked my entire stock away down
below cost. This is no advertising
scheme, but a bona fide sale. Some rare
bargains will be offered as I will hot
carry over a single hat. Those who came
earliest will have the largest assortment
to choose from. You save dollars by
buying now.
• Mrs. E. J. Smith
There are 11 pigs in the village
pound.
The following is taken from a
Minniapolis paper and refers to the son
of John Little and grandson of Joseph
Little of Lucknow. Clayton Little, 16,.
stepped out of the batn in the rear of
1519 Seventh Street, South, Saturday at
11.30 p.m. and was met by a bold
highwayman .who thrtist a ievolver in
his face and told him to throw up his
hahcls. The young man threw up his
hands, but not the way the bandit
intended, for he struck him on the face
and then clinched. They tussled for
about 15 minutes, Little calling lustily
for help. Three times the man got Little
down, but the young fellow clung to him
and put a good fight. The young man
was kicked several times by his
assailant and suffered two black eyes.
The bandit finally concluded he had
better take his departure as Little's calls
for help could bring assistance at any
moment. Little works for a grocery '
company and after putting up the horse
he had been using he stepped out of the
barn almost into the arms of the man
with the revolver. Little had just been
• paid his wages and did not relish giving
up his money, especially as he planned
to use a portion of it in celebrating
Canada's birthday, He was so moved to
grapple with the robber. •After the
• struggle, Little searched for his hat and
found the revolver and the hat of his
assialant which he took to South Side
police station.
50 YEARS AGO
A real barn raising with 'all its
excitement and race is something of, a
rarity now, so when it became noised
abroad that Melvin Irwin of Kinloss was
to have erected the frame of a barn 100
x 60 feet on Tuesday afternoon, men
and women came from far and near
until it was said there were about 500
• people on the ground. When the timber
were all put together, Russ Johnston
and W. J. Davison of Lucknow chose
sides for the race to a finish. It was
impossible to describe this feature. All
we know of it is D,avison's side won by a
handsome margin. The fine large barn
I replaced the one destroyed by fire a
couple of months ago.
Miss MacDonald, teacher of 'the
Lucknow School Entrance class, and the
class of 21 are all happy this week as a
result of the Entrance -to -High -School
examinations, as all in the class were
successful, 12 taking honours. This is
always a strenuous examination as the
result means much to teacher and
students alike and the report is always
looked for with a good deal of anxiety.
Miss Rebecca Woods,RN. of Detroit
and her cousin, Mrs. Gemmel of
Stratford, arrived home Saturday night
from a trip to Halifax.
25 YEARS AGO
Mrs. John Cox celebrated her 100th
birthday on July 9. A noon buffet
luncheon marked the occasion on July
11 when over 40 relations attended,
Although the dear lady is bedfast she
enjoyed seeing everyone and a most
pleasant time was spent and many
friendships renewed.
Wayne Hackett, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Alex Hackett of Ashfield, is in Sick
Childreh's Hospital, London, with a
severe eye injury following an accident
.on July 6. A pellet from an air gun
shattered a lense of Wayne's glasses
and a piece of the shattered glass
penetrated the eye. He is expected to
have partial vision in the injured optic.
There is more than one coincidence in
two Sunday births at Wingham Hospit-
al. Two little cousins, Marilyn Elizabeth
Hamilton and Graham Alexander Ham-
ilton will have the same birthday, July
11. Little Marilyn will also have •the
same birthday as her three year older
brother; Larry, who was born July 11,
1951. The infants are the children of
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hamilton and Mr.
and Mrs. Donald Hamilton of Para-
mount.
Dr. T. B. Cleland, local veterinary
surgeon, has purchased the farm prop-
erty of Mrs. Torrance Anderson, a mile
eat of town. Dr. and Mrs. Cleland and
fathily plan • to move to their new
location about the first of September,
from where Brock will continue to carry
on his practise.
TO THE
EDITOR
The Wingham Centennial
Reunion is being held Aug-
ust 1 6, and as a part of it
the Wingham School Reun-
ion is being held on Saturday
morning, August 4th, from 9.
to 12, in the F. E. Madill
Secondary School.
We are welcoming back to
the Wingham School Reun-
ion ail former and present
students, teachers, school
trustees, school boards and
inspectors from, the Wing -
ham Public School, the Sec-
ondary School, the Sacred
Heart Separate School, the
Lower. Town School, the
Golden Circle School and the
Business Colleges.
In trying to get addresses
of former students we used
the Grade 9 class lists. from
1907 on throughout the
years, and classmates in
Wingham have, worked en-
thusiastically trying to get as
many addresses as possible.
We .also searched for the
names and addresses of the
teachers and others involved
in education. These hund-
reds of names were added to
the already collected list of
the Wingham Centennial In-
vitational Committee who
then mailed out all the invi-
tations. However, we know
we did not get all the names,
and addresses of those in-
volved in the. Wingham edu-
cational systems and we are
hoping that those who know
about it will spread the -word
and invite any who attended
or were involved in schools in
Wingham throughout the
years to "Come Back To
School" -Saturday morning,
August 4th.
The school bells are ring-
ing to welcome all back.
Weare looking forward to
a happy reunion. Be sure and
come.
– The Wingham-Centennial
School Reunion Committee,
Florence Reavie, Chairman.
