V THE CLINTON NEW ERA, A C sem. 1 OUR 125TH ANNIVERSARY lotions deeds for humanity have brightened the years of the century and a quarter through which the Bank of Montreal has lived and served Canada. Sordid '°' deeds of treachery and tyranny cannot detract from the record of courage, faith and achievement made by democratic, freedom -loving nations and peoples. Canada, in the 125 years of -the Bank's existence, has grown from a pioneer colony to a state great among nations in wealth, world-wide activities and influence. Born when Canada was still a wilderness, with here and there a town, the Bank of Montreal has marched, worked and fought Beside Canadians of all generations since 1817, assisting in every field of endeavour to build and preserve the nation_ As on our 100th Birthday, in 1917, we now find Canada, to- gether with her sisterdominions and her allies, fighting with all her strength, but confidently, for freedom and all that free- dom. holds. BIRTHDAY' 1817 * 3rd NOVEMBER -* 1942 We re -dedicate on this our 125th Birthday all our accumulated experience, knowledge, technical skill and financial strength to the service of Canada and her citizens. ALWAYS SERVING CANADA instantaneous communications between all parts of the coun- try and with all parts of the world, and a stable system of banking which gives wings to commerce. In . this picture, builded into it for twelve and a half decades, generation after generation, stands the Bank of Montreal, now with hundreds of branches, strong withyouth, experienced - with age -still serving Canada, in this latest time of crisis. When the. Bank of Montreal began business on November 3,1817, the only transportation in Canada was provided by horse, wagon,stagecoach,canoeand river packet. There was no means of communication, excepting letters delivered by courier. There was no common currency. In 1942, the picture of Canada pre- sents a modernly equipped nation with gigantic industries, networks of railroads and motor highways, great steamship lines, continental airlines, BANKOF M "A BANK WHERE SMALL ACCOUNTS ARE WELCOME" 0201 a determined struggle for an hour and a half the score' being 2 to 1 in favour of Clinton, they held the trophy.

At the end of On Monday evening Mr. Joseph Livermore passed into rest. • He. was a native .of Bahram, Cambridgeshire, England, where he first saw the light of -day sixty-eight years ago. In 1874 he came to this country; and aft- er living for some time on the 8th, concession of Mullett he moved to Morris where he, farmed for a few Years and then to Dundalk. In 1892. he located in Clinton where he con- tinued to live. Mr. Livermore was twice married, his second wife surviv- ing him. Thirteen children were born of these two unions all of whom are still living.

Cudmore and Morgan Agnew left home on Sunday, Oct. 12 and . though a diligent search has been made foe them they are `'still at large. They were last seen In Harris - ton on Tuesday when they looked as if they had been roughing it in earn- est. An effott was made to detain them but before the chief of police could be , sumomned, they had again disappeaerd and are supposed to be making for one of the Georg- ian Bay ports. Chief of Police Jos. Wheatley has sent out notices. Messrs. ' Fred Livermore and Jake Simian met with an accident on Monday night which might have had a fatal result. They were both work-• ing their way' down to Seaforth on a gigger and when two miles from , that town were run into by an engine which was coming west. Before leaving the Clinton station they were told that the engine was expected. They accordingly kept a sharp watch and stopped two or three times to ascertain if they could hear it. As it'so happened they carried a lantern! and it was by this means that, they caught a glimpse of the engine when it was only a few yards away. They jumped and tumbled over the bank, thus saving themselves but the :gig - ger was completely wrecked: While the .escape of the men, was almost miraculous yet it is not likely the aeeident would have happened had the engine, which wee running backwards carried. the customer, -rear lights.
