T, Currelly,'curator ,of the Royal Mus- eum, Toronto, gave a lecture on the developement of the ax, from the stone age. This lecture was broad- cast and several Clintonians listen- ed in, being all the more interested owing to the fact that Prof. Currel- ly is a former Clinton Collegiate In- stitute student. The announcer in introducing the lecturer, stated that Prof. Curreily had just been trade a fellow tef the Royal Antiquity Society of England, the first Canadian to be so honoured. On Friday evening another former Clinton bey, Prof. Reginald Brock of the University of British Columbia, will be on the air. Prof. Brock is a son of the late Rev. Brock, at one time pastor of the Rattenbury street Methodist 'church.
