Early Chicks Recalls Courage Of W. J. (Bill)Paisley Clinton's Policeman Many Years Ago: By C. Mortimer Bezeau, Kitchener An item in your "40 Years Ago" carried me back to my early youth and stirred' memories of the beetle days during the "eighties" : of the last century. Tire item in question' recorded the funeral of O. S. Doan at which W. J. Paisley and J. Wheat- ley acted as pallbearers. W. J. (Bill) gaisley was-Olinton's policeman as far back' as my mem- ory takes ane along that line. Ile was a fine speciman of physical man- hood, standing about six feet six inches, broad in proportion, but:not coa'pn,len±--a veritable mountain of bone and c'ruusele. Iris strength and courage were equal to his size, Many said he did not know the meaning of fear. Iris mentality was such as to render him equal to any emergency. During the early days of the (Scott Act he joined the law-enforcement staff of the Ontario Government, In those days a few places defied the. law ayid ran wide open; and a good - deal of courage was required .at ' g times to serve stlmrnonses- on the law viohators. T recall the case of one constable who was sent to serve swm.monsee in one place in Huron County. In some manner word that he was ea his way, arrived ahead of him; and:he was met at the bridge than had to be crossed.to reach the town where the summonses were tp be served. Iris horse was turned back, Ile resigned his job. Later, Bill Paisley served the summonses. On. another oecas•Ion, Bill Peasley served summonses/ in a certain towns then put up in one of the hotels for the might before going on to the next place. About the time that he was ready to retire he heard load and angry voices in the barroom below; then the sound of many feet on the stair and along the 'corridor leading to his room; teen 'a loud knock on .his door, ' and a voice de- manded, "Open up and crane out:' Turning the key in the door. Bill stepped quickly back and called," "Come in." When the door opened the leaders of the gang saw standing before then. a mountain, of muscle with a revolver in each 'hand;: and they heard a voice say: "Well, gentle' men, what ,have you on your minds?" The details of what followed were not sufficiently startling to become fixed in memory;' but it is safe to say that, like the Arabs' in the story, 'the gang folded their : tents and silently melted away." Joe Wheatley, who succeed ed Bill Paisley ars chieof police in. Clinton, Was quite an athlete in his .younger days, and a noted sprinter. He was not so tall as Bill Paisley, though equally well built. My first recces lection of him is seeing' him on the field of sport stripped for the race. He was a :heavy man: and I wond- ered 'how so much .could move so fast, for lee led all his con t t Discussing early chicks, Gerald E.

It. is during the fall and early winter months that eggs conmand the higher prices and herein lies one advantage of procur- ing early chinks, however, it's a good plan 'To plan first and then ret eauticuely.' "You must be prepared to keep chicks comfortable during cold weath. er and feed supplies being short, it is quite neeessary to have arrange- ments made for' procuring sufficient feed.
