Dr. J. W. Shaw
Marks Birthday
Clinton's grand old man,
Dr. J. W. Shaw, to -morrow
celebrates another milestone
along life's way and the day
will be marked with his usual
routine. Dr. Shaw, who in
spite of his more than four-
score years, is still very ac-
tive and' his practice is made
up of many to whom he is
"the family doctor.".
Dr. Shaw was never content
to let his profession interfere
with the good deed fbr the
clay, that Boy Scouts practice.
He has always been interest-
ed in boys and in all types of
sport. This year he has taken
under his wing a group of
boys known as the Shaw
Peewees and has entered them
in the WOAA Peewee Base-
ball' series and these lads are
out to show their sponsor that
he has not put his trust in
them in vain. So far they
just have one loss chalked
up against them.
As well as .being a sports
enthusiast, Dr. Shaw is an
ardent politician and intends
attending the Natioanl Lib-
eral Convention in Ottawa
next month.
The NEWS -RECORD along
with all citizens of town say
"Congratulations, Dr. Shaw!"
