AGNEW, Mayor, Town of Clinton wacamicammocomoix NEIL CAMPBELL'S CHECKERBOARD NEWS Clinton Farm Supply Speaking of grass - it's always a good feeling to look forward to spring and plenty of grass. But here's some good advice for dairymen we just got from the Purina Research Farm. Don't depend entirely on grass to hold up milk production dur- ing spring and summer. We've found pasture alone just can't hold up body condition and milk production. If her ration does hot contain the proper variety of proteins, minerals, and vita- mins, the cow draws from her bones, blood and flesh:. Soon she's run down and milk pro- duction is off -and you'll hrwc an expensive time of it building her back up. Boar pigs should be castrated as early in life as you can get the job done. Pigs are castrat- ed when 5 days at the Purina Farm. They report little or no setback when pigs are castrated early. Pigs may be castrated up to 4 weeks with safety. Operator's hands, the knife, the scrotum of the pig should be thoroughly washed and disin- fected with Purina disinfectant solution. If you're raising pullets, it's time to be thinking about range and range shelters. Here are a few reminders: Shelters Should be cleaned and disinfected before use and all wood painted once a year with - Insect Oil, used according to directions. Provide 1 acre of good pasture and one 10' x'12' range shelter per 100 pullets. Have 5" tc 8" roost space per bird, depending on breed. Each 100 pullets will need three 4 -foot double -sided feeders or their equivalent in space. Two 3-5 gal. founts. All equipment should be port- able and should be moved often enough to prevent wet and con- taminated spots forming around and beneath. The pullets we started Jan. 14 are now 16 weeks old, We will be holding another pullet derby this year - Join in the fun. r. V.

His youngest daughter, Lillian (the late Mrs. H. R. MacKay of the Albion Hotel) was born there. Other names associated with it in these years were Jim William- son and Jack Johnston, The lat- ter drove stage to Brucefield and Seaforth. Richard Bailey married Miss of Mr. n Mary Cleave, daughter and Mrs. Paul Cleave. He built on the back part and also the present roof. His son, T. C. Bailey, pro- prietor of the New Ritz Hotel, was born there and recalled to us in- cidents of his childhood. His fath- er who owned considerable prop- erty, had a barn -raising on the lot now owned by L .R. McMillen, at the corner of Chiniquy and Del- evan Streets. It was 'Beer on the house" after the raising and when the boys began to feel merry, they made his father stand up on a beer keg and make a speech. When the Scott Act came into force, Richard ,Bailey hid what whiskey he had on hand in a corn stook down on the property which is now owned by Norman Greer and others. What a time the vil- lage' boys' would have had had they known its whereabouts! At that time there were some resented tglre in Hayfield When the Revenue Officers came to Bayfield, a crowd gathered and escorted the officers to the bridge, firing shots over their heads to speed 'them on their way. Some old-timers say that they forced them to swal- low the warrants which were to have been served to hotels serv- ing liquor. without a license. It wasn't safe for a Sheriff or De- puty, to enter the village. But this barricade of the law didn't last too long, and two young men made a hasty exit to the United States to avoid trouble over their part in the fracas. But Tom Bailey avers that his father was no hotel -keeper. He didn't like it and would go off to work on his farm all day and leave the hotel to run itself. His moth- er didn't care for the business, either, but she was fortunate for a time in having two very capable sisters, Margaret and Janet Hofly, for some Edward OBITUARY DAVID TIEMAN, David Tieman, 83, who conduct- ed a hardware and furniture bus- iness in Dashwood for 47 years, died at his home there on Tuesday, May 4.

In 1895, George Erwin, a black- smith here. end son of early pion- eers (whose wife was a sister of Mrs. Bailey) ran the hotel when the following appearedred in the Aug- ilk u -us 9 edition of the Bayfield Ad- vertiser: COMMERCIAL HOTEL The Temperance Hotel Open for Summer Guests Large Airy Rooms Moderate Terms Special Rates for Families Free carriage meets all trains Geo, Erwin Prop. George Erwin's nickname was "Jumbo" which was very apt as he was both large of girth and jolly of disposition. Richard Bailey operated first on a yearly license and then on a six month license and finally the family lived there, privately. Dur- ing this latter time his son Robert had an ice cream parlour in the south-west corner room. On June 11, 1902, Henry Dar- row bought the hotel. He had im- igrated from Colraine, Co., Derry, Ireland, as a small child with his mother, sister and brother, in the year of the Fenain raid scare, 1866. He made his home with his uncle, John Eagleson. Darrow obtained a license for the hotel and ran a good house. He sold it to Alex. Robinson in ,May 1907. Alex Rob- inson had been operating the Rat- tenbury Hotel in Clinton and was burned out. Qn'July 9, 1908, Rob- inson sold to Samuel R. Manness, London, for the amount of the mortgage plus $1 and returned to Clinton, Samuel R. Manness was a well- known cigar -manufacturer and he did not operate the place (his son Ernest Manness is a summer res- ident of the village). W. J. Han- lon, St. Thomas, ran It for awhile but did not pay too much attent- ion to business, we are told. And then on July 22, 1909, Hen- ry Darrow assumed the mortgages and obtained a clear title to it the following year. He was mar- ried to the widow of James Poll- ock who owned the Queen's Hotel. Mr.and Mrs. Darrow had a large summer patronage at The Comm- ercial as the hotel had been called for so many years. Following his wife's death in 1922, Henry Darrow sold to Edgar R, Weston in June 1923. - Edgar Weston, who is a native of Goderich Township and resides in the village, is a son of the late Richard Weston. He married Miss Nina Johnston and for some years drove the stage to Brum- field. He also operated a rural mail route for his father. He bright- ened the hotel up and changed its name to "The Lakeview." In May 1926, he sold to Mrs. A. R. Seeds of Oro Station who with her two daughters, Helen and Ber- nice, lived here and took an active part in community affairs until 1939. Her business suffered from the depression and in 1940 the hotel was left on the hands of J. W. Jowett who held a mortgage against it. His executors made ar- rangements to transfer it to Mr. and Mrs. George Little and they moved into it in March, 1941. George Little had lived here as a lad with his parents from 1905- 11 when his father, Henry Little, drove stage. With his wife, form- erly Adria Pearl Johnston of God- erich, he came here from Windsor in 1930 to reside in what is now Mrs. Dowson's house on Clan Greg- or Square. Mrs, Little commenced taking paying guests in the sum- mer and serving meals to a lim- ited number of persons. When they took over the Lakeview Hot- el, they renamed it "The Little Inn," and Mrs. Little continued a- long the lines established in her home. IIer reputation for good cooking and well -served meals in a quiet, restful atmosphere went far. She was assisted by her hus- band who is constable of Bayfield. He made changes both inside and to the outside of the hotel during the years. Owing to Mrs. Little's ill -health, they were forced to sell the business. Miss Hayman plans to carry on in the tradition of a private hotel. At first It will be as a seasonable hotel only, but in a couple of years or so, she plans to operate on a yearly basis. A.S.A.

R. Mead- ows, Department of Lands and Forests. "It is noticeable that several towns and cities are pro- hibiting their use in the municipal areas. "Section 11 (1) of the Game and Fisheries Act states as fol- lows: "No person shall carry or use any firearm or airgun for the purpose of hunting any animal or bird, except under the authority of a license." "Some parents give their young boys airguns (more commonly known as "B.B." guns) and allow them to roam the countryside. The result of this practise is that birds of all kinds are the main target, and in almost every case the birds so killed are all legally protected. "Recently three•separate groups of boys who were checked near Preston were in possession of at least one rifle in each group. In each case the boys were shooting at protected birds. Due fo theta. Tage they were sent home and told not to take their rifle away from home in the future. Apparently this action is not enough, and un less parents either warn their own children or take the guns away from them, we will have no altern- ative other than to seize the guns and lay charges. Licenses are re- quired and these cannot be obtain- ed under the age of 16. Licensed persons can only shoot game in season so if your boy is one of those who shoot all kinds of ,pro- :tected birds we would suggest that the air.. gun be kept at home to save further trouble.
