On that day, Edward H. Clut-
ton,
son of Mr. and Mrs, Hume
Clutton became the third gen-
eration of his family to gradu-
ate from the institution. His'

Two Men Charged
With Theft of $70(I
Given Jury Trial
Trial was continuing yesterday
of Caswell Hackett, of Lucknow,
and John Sproul, of Goderich, in
connection with theft of approxim-
ately $700 from the residence of
Joseph Bowler, of West Wawanosh
Township.
Hackett and Sproul appeared
Monday before Judge T. M. Cos-
tello and a grand jury in county
court, at which time a true bill
was returned against them.
They were charged originally in
police court in March and com-
mitted for trial at this time by
Magistrate D. E. Holmes, Q.C.
They are being represented by
Frank Donnelly, Q.C., while Crown
Attorney H. Glenn Hays, Q.C., is
conducting the prosecution.
At yesterday's session, difficulty

jurors on the , list failed to appear
in court. After a delay of about
an hour, during wIsich''replacement
prospective jurors were found, the
trial was continued.
FAST WORK
This atomic age is getting
more unbelievable every day.

Unlocking Treasure 'I n Labrador— The presence of vast mineral wealth in Labrador -Ungava,
c�onnprised of 400 million tons of iron ore, has been known for fifty years. But it remained for
today's engineering experts to find methods of conveying the rich ore across hundreds of miles of
mountainous wilderness to meet this continent's urgent demands for more steel. This panoramic
drawing of Labrador coastline shows how the 200 million dollar project, representing Canadian
and U. S. capital, is" being achieved. A _360 -mile railway called the Quebec, North Shore and
Labrador, has been built by the Iron Ore Company of Canada. By 1954 it will start carrying
70,000 tons of iron ore a day from the mines at Knob Lake to the shipping point at Seven
Islands on the St. Lawrence River. First big transportation line to be built in North America
for years, the railway will have many unusual features. A $400,000 communication system
supplied by the Electronics Division of Canadian Westinghouse Company Limited, will make
possale -switching and ore dumping operations by remote control as well as communication
facilities for both the railway and communities along the right-of-way. Some idea of the
extensive communication equipment needed at Knob Lake, Oreway (the half -way point on the
line) and at Seven Islands, is indicated by the fact that each station will contain ten_ telephone
carrier circuits, plus one voice circuit for train dispatching (single -side -band relay units) and six
teletype circuits (frequency -shift relay units). In addition to the carrier equipment there i3 a
complete automatic telephone exchange with 300 lines at Knob Lake and Oreway. An operator
at Seven Islands controls both exchanges for long distance calls.

THREE BABIES BORN
ON CORONATION DAY
Not to be outdone on one of
the biggest days of the year,
Goderich welcomed three
babies on Coronation 'Day
--
and to make the event com-
plot', two of the babies were
girls.
First Coronation Day baby
born at Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital was a boy
to Mr- and Mrs. Raymond
Barker, of Goderich.
Then, the first girl, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Legg,
was born. And appropriately,
she was named Elizabeth
Anne.
Third baby to be born on
Coronation Day was another
girl, to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis
Armour. She was named
Jeannette Mary.
All three babies will receive
a silver spoon to commemorate
the occasion from Governor-
General Vincent Massey.
Workmen are progressing well
with the laying of cement on the
south pier at the waterfront. Des-
pite the setbacks they have exper-
ienced from Saturday night's storm
and frequent trouble with pipes,
they expect to have the project
finished soon.
Besides tossing two large boats
on the dock at Snug Harbor, the
tidal wave, or sieche, also tossed
a couple of Bert MacDonald's life-
boats out of the water.
Then, when Bert tried to raise
the sunken fishing tug, a mast on
one of his boats broke.
Shipping in and out of the harbor
continued to move at a fairly brisk
pace. The,Brookdale arrived from Mrs. Edward Plowman. She lived

Were Known Here
la a colorful parade and relig-
ious service ..at Court House Park.
Goderich saluted the new Queen
on her Coronation Day.
Forming up at the Public School
grounds, school children made up
the bulk of the parade, which was
led by the Goderich Blue Water
Band and the Goderich Girls
Trumpet Band.
Included in the parade 'were
members of the Air Cadets, Army
Cadets, Canadian Legion, Branch
109, and the Legion Auxiliary.
At the park, the service was
under the leadership of Rev. R. G.
MacMillan, of Knox Presbyterian
Church, who opened with a brief
address.
Mayor J. E. Huckins welcomed
the Large crowd in attendance and
complimented the people in the
parade for their fine showing. A
prayer of dedication to the new
Sovereign was offered by Rev. Ian
G. Hind, of Goderich Baptist
Church, followed by a hymn.
Rev. H. A. Dickinson, of North
Street United Church, gave an
outline of the Coronation. Selec-
tions were offered by the two
bands.
One of the highlights of the
ceremony was the planting of a
tree " at the cenotaph by Mrs.
Huckins, wife of the mayor. The
tree -planting was made to carry
on a tradition which was started
in 1937 at the Coronation of the
late King George VI, when a tree
was planted at the cenotaph.
Trees purchased earlier this year
in the park, purchased by the
Town Council, were also dedicated
by Mr. MacMillan.
Another highlight was the pre-
sentation by Mr. MacMillan of a
chain of office to Mayor Huckins.
Mr. MacMillan made the presenta-
tion on behalf of the Town Council,
who purchased the chain as a
further reminder of the Coronation
Day celebration here.
Preceding the celebration at the
park, church service was held at
St. George's Anglican Church, con-
ducted by Rev. Kenneth E. Taylor.
School children, who were to
have received their Coronation
coins at the park ceremony, re-
ceived them on Monday at the
schools.
In the afternoon, over 2,000
people attended the horse races -at
Agricultural, Park, and in the
evening, the Canadian Legion held
a monster carnival at Court House
Park. In the evening also, - the
Kinsmen Club sponsored an old
time dance at the Memorial Arena.
On Monday night, Coronation
eve, the Maple Leaf Chapter of
the I.O.D.E. held one of the out-
standing dances of the season, the
Coronation Ball, at 'the Goderich
Pavilion. With the hall decorated
in a coronation theme,' the dance
was highly enjoyable for those who
attended and proved successful.
At the Legion carnival in the
evening, 15 -year-old Adeline Riehl,
of Goderich, won the television set
and Tom Pritchard won the draw
for a radio.
Crash of a Lancaster bomber
recently in Oregon took the lives
of two airmen who were known by
