Mrs. W. Glenn Campbell of Aylmer,

scribing how he went up 15,000 feet,
into the air to take snaps of the solar.

were nearly frozen before they
reached the desired height but he
managed to take eight pictures, and
it took them .just fifteen minutes, to
return, "to earth after getting them,
although theywere two hours in the
air. "On returning to the' ground,"
he says, "I took the film to the lab`
oratory, developed, it, dried it in al-
cohol, made prints from the good neg-
atives and handed the finished pic-
tures to our commanding officer by
noon, making' a record for .such work
in this field" • ,.'
Gordon has made progress since
leaving Clinton as a small lad about
a dozen years ago.

The death occurred, on the evening
of January 13th last, at thehome of
her daughter near•`Victoria 13.c., of
one of Clinton's early reS�idents, in
the person of Mrs. Louisa Worthing•

Huron Pioneer Recalls Infancy of Clinton
Seventy-one Years. in. Hulletto'
Mr, Thomas Shobbrook of the 13th
concession of Hullett came in last
Thursday morning' to renew lois sub-
scription and in the course of con-
versation it came 'out that he. had
spent seventy-one years in that town-
ship, so, being'.i•nterested in learning
all we can about the early days in
this country;, we were immediately in-
toesd 1

to and proceeded to ask 11
m
s0 questions.
uestions.
Mr. Shobbrook passed his eighty-
third birthday on Dec. 7th, 1924. He.
was born : in Devonshire,_ England,
coming outwith his family; in 1853,
they came to Huron and, settled on
the 12th of Ilnllett; which was pretty
much all bush, they being the third
family . ,within five; miles.. A number
of people had settled on the Base.
Line prior to this. The family„con-.
sisted of the parents and five broth-
ers and one sister.' Thomas and
James, both of Hullett, are the only,
two members now living.
Mr. Shobbrook said it was seventy-
one years last October when he first
'set .eyes on Clinton, which was then
'a few. scattered houses and was
known . as "Rattenbury's Corners.”
When they went through the town the
Rance brothers, `Thos.. add Samuel,
were burning lime in .'a log heap to
build the flour mill, which ; composes
part of what is 'still Clinton's flour

must have frames like iron, as - it was
the -shoulder of hit. opponent John ran
into.
This accident is the second sris-
tained by members of the Clinton
team this, season, Kenneth Rorke' suf-
fering an injury to his thigh a fort-
night or so earlier. It is the second
accident in which Nediger, has fig=,
used, as he had a couple of teeth
knocked out a couple of years ago.
Since Friday he has- beeii taking
things easy, not even -eating' or talky:

discovered it rushed end got the ex-
tension ladders and pails from the
town hall. An attempt was made to
chop the upright posts but it, could
riot be managed. Soon pails of water
were. being passed up the ladders, but
it was a difficult feat to., throw these
up, as the blaze was in the too: It
was with great difficulty that the top
of the tower was finally knocked off
and the blaze extinguished' in about
half an hour from the time when it
was first discovered. It is thought
that a spark from the chimney lodged
in some sparrow's nests and caused.
the fire. No damage was done to the
