THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, June 1899 A PROGRESSIVE CLOTHING FIRM Among the most prosperous indust- ries in Clinton is that of the clothing firm of Jackson Bros., which has grown lays degrees to be one of the most extensive " of the kind in the province. Their father was the pion- eer clothier, 'beginning 'business in Clinton in 1854. In 1885 the brothers formed a partnership and since then • have gradually extended their opera- tions and now' have a large number of customers throughout Ontario and Manitoba.The firm's store is the most commodious in Clinton and con- tains an extensive .steel of men's furnishings, clothing and the differ- ent lines to be )Pound in such an establishment. Mr. C. C. Rance, who is in charge of this department, is like the principals, a native of Clin- ton and has for years been connected with the clothing trade. Until about a year ago, Jackson Bros. in eomp- any with Mr. Fred Jackson, and ins - der the title of Jackson & Jackson, carried on a boot and shoe business a couple of doors north of their ,big store. The two stores were then amalgamated and both stocks are now carried under one roof, which means a big saving in overhead. Mr. William Jackson is the senior and office partner and was born here in 1859. Thos. Jackson, Jr., "does the road" and does it thoroughly. Mr. Fred Jackson', who is a cousin of the Jackson Bros., is the boot and shoe authority- and presides over this de- • pattment. THOS. JACKSON, SR. The pioneer clothier of Clinton,' began business here in 1854,,. A GOOD SALESMAN MR MURDOCK ROBS Bayfield has no better known or more loyal citizen than. Murdock Rosa who is depicted above following his occupation of fisherman, a hazardous calling but which has its lure, other- wise men would not follow, it for the pay is not in keeping with the peril. Mr. James Stevens attended see - sloes of the London Conference as Sarnia the past week. He has not missed one conference in thirty years. Mr. Thomas Sheppard, a respected citizen of town, on Friday last pass- ed his 83rd. birthday. He has been a resident of Huron for eighty years and over, is a good Orangeman and a Tory, but above all an honest man who holds the esteem of those with whom he has been associated for a lifetime. After an illness extending over several months William James Mar- shall, youngest son of the late Rob- ert Marcifiall, passed away at the home of his sister, Mrs. James Liver- more. He was but thirty-five years of age and leaves a wife and four children. Mr. Otto Fink, the local artist, purchased a Saxon car on Tuesday. Harry Bartliff and Ike Rattenbury are the local agents. The division of the estate of the late James McMichael of Seaforth (well known throughout the county as the "Wee Bowler") has been de- cided upon. It was valued in round figures at $60,000 of which $34,000 goes to heirs here, the balance to heirs in Scotland. Rev. C. C. Couzens, formerly of Holmesville, has been superannuated and is now attached to Askin Street ' Church, London. Rev. F. C. Harper of London has been extended a call to become past - who or of Willis Church at a salary o2 $1200 with free manse and a month's vacation. Among the successful students at the Toronto University this year were Messrs. 3. A. Bean, Donald Ross and Roy Ball who completed their fourth year in medicine. J. Q. Copp was successful in his first year in medi- cine, H. A. Hesston in his third year and Miss Jessie O'Neil. in her third year in Arts. Mr, Harry Bartliff having found it necessary to enlarge, the cement men are now busy erecting a twenty-four foot addition to his store.• Mr. and Mrs. R. B.

Should Take Oath (Fort Erie Times -Review) An amendment to the Municipal Act will be brought before the On- tario legislature- at the present ses- sion providing that all persons elect- ed to public office shall take the oath of allegiance to Hie Majesty the King. This is a move in the right direction. Any person who wants to take advantage of all the privileges under the protection of the British crown and what it stands for should at least be made to swear allegiance to ` that crown. In Hamilton one member of the city council has consistently refused to swear allegiance, and has been per- mitted for several years to sit as a member of the council. The new pro- vision will make this type of thing impossible. And individual or groups which ex- pect to enjoy freedom of speech and liberty of action, both of which are guaranteed under the British crown in Ontario, should be sufficiently grateful for these democratic privil- ages to take the oath of allegiance to the throne which is emblematic of this freedom and liberty.

Progress Report of Reforestation in Huron County so far" in 1939 L School Section -Widespread in- terest in each school section securing an acre of land to reforest for de- monstrational and educational Pur - Poses was evident during the spring. The county's offer of paying 50% of the purchase price was received with favour. The majority of 'Townships also made .art offer of paying 25% of the purchase ;price. Many school sections are considering the above scheme at the present time. However, • Hullett Township took the lead In getting this work' started in 1939. S. S No. 3 Hullett, commonly known as the Kinburn school, was a good example of community co-gpeation. 'Mr.' Howard Armstrong donated the land free of cost, and Mr. W. L. Whyte fenced the property and put on a gate free of cost. The school children planted the 'trees ani the ratepayers of the schoolesectian are whole heartedly behind the venture. Many school sections will be planting treesnext spring under the above scheme. 1 School Children — Under the leadership of ,the School Inspectors, Messrs E. 0. Beacom, J. H. Kinkaid and J. M. Game, all rural school children were given the opportunity Iof securing five 'trees for either i windbreak or woodlot planting, to commemorate the visits of the Queen and King to Canada in 1939. The majority of children • responded to the above proposition, and through the courtesy of the Goods Road Commis- sion and the County Engineer, trucks were sent to St. Williams in early May to pickup the trees ordered and to distribute them to a central point in each Township. 3. Private Individual's -1939 show- ed an increased interest in windbreak and woodlot planting by farmers and other organizations throughout Hur- on County. It is estimated that 300,00 trees were planted this spring as compared with 200,0.00 last year. The leaders in this regard are,W, A, Culbert, Dungannon who reforested 50 acres with 60,700 trees, and W. L. Whyte, Seaforth who reforested 19 acres with, aver 10,000 trees. The Seaforth Country Club reforested some waste land with over 6,000, and many other farmers are planting from 100 up to 3,500 each. A teacher set his class writing, an essay on Armistice, and one little girl produced this sentence: "The Armis- tice was 'signed an llth November, 1918, and since then we have had two minutes' peace every year. ..u. ,i=.n••••.•M1o4•=o•1•0n.m„••••omm...,*w••n..e•/0•,,.•01•n..q0=0arur,N.,H•u•Mpo..u;.

Splendid trick snapshots can be taken with any camera—whether it's a simple, inexpensive box camera or one of the finest cameras made. Consider the snapshot above. It looks like the sort of thing that de- mands a fast "action" camera and lots of picture luck. But don't be fooled. The picture was posed. The horse was stuffed, and hung on a peg. And the camera used was a simple amateur type such as thou- sands of us. possess. Probably you don't•have a stuffed horse. But if your son has a bicycle or "scooter" you can picture a spill just as realistic as this one. Simply rig up the child's vehicle to a tree, showing it in a cockeyed, off -the- ground position—see that the sup- ports are concealed. Let your sub- ject pose as if he had just toppled. oft—and snap' the picture. Photo tricks with string or thread are fun. Try a "magic golf club" shot. Just use lightweight thread, and suspend one of your clubs front. a tree branch, in proper striking- position. hang a ball a few inches in front of the club head. Now, have a friend pose as if hypnotizing ,the club into action—and shoot.' If you use thread which is about the same color and tone as the background, it: will not show.
