HURON NEWS Clinton Man Killed on Street in Clinton— Thomas Wiggington, 70, well known retired resident of Clinton, was ut- most instantly killed when struck by a car as he was crossing Albert street, near the former Fair's mill property. He succumbed in a few moments after he apparently stepped into the side of a cat' driven south on Albert street, in charge of Norman Griffith of Londeeboro. After confer- ring with crown officials, it was an- nounced that there would be go in quest. Coroner Dr. J. W. Oakes inves- tigated. The sudden and tragic death of Mr. Wiggington which occurred at 10.50 on Thursday night, has shocked the Clinton community. A hereditary deafness preventing .him from hearing a warning motor horn and having defective eye sight as well, he was under a great handicap in crossing streets or highways. No blame appears to attach to the driver of the car which struck him down as it appears that he stepped directly in front of the car from a shadowy place along the sidewalk and the driver had no chance to avoid striking him. A very similar fatality occurred a few years ago whea D. L. McPherson, former town clerk, stepped on to the pavement in the path of a car and was killed. Thursday night's fatality was the second to occur on Clinton streets within a year, the former vic- tim being Russel Currie. Thomas DUBLIN Master Ted Rolland left Monday to take a position in the Seminary, at London. Father Ffoulkes paid a business trip to London Monday. The play, "The Dust of the Earth," produced by the Sodality girls and presented in St. Patrick's Parish hall Friday night was a huge success and was attended by one of the largest crowds ever seen at a piaY in this district, The large crowd cer- tainly was a compliment to the acting ability of the young people of Dublin and vicinity. After the play the Mel- ody Kings supplied music for the dancing which continued for several hours.

Parachute Found— Police report having picked up a silk flare parachute which came down on the farm of William Knox, Hallett township. It was about 12x12 feet in diameter with a flare-holdiug apparatus mounted above its spread. It was presumably dropped during mock bombing practice and has been turned in at the proper place. It was the first ever found in Huron county, but many more may turn up before the present conflict Is over.—Goderich Signal -Star. The House -Cleaning Backfired— House-cleaning — that Spring sport which is so popular with women nod so unpopular with the opposite sox— is with us again, and if you, Mr. Man, go bang into the kitchen table temporarily parked in the parlor or find the radio perched on the cellar steps, just put it clown to the "house- cleaning bug" and go warily on your way, for arguing and remonstrating will do you no good. House-cleaning, which is looked upon by the male sex as something of a tragedy, can also be classed as a comedy at times. For example, in a local home last week, a housewife undertook to varnish the bathroom floor. The floor looked so much improved after cue coat had been applied that she decided to make it look even better by putting on a second one. The young lady assistant in the home graciously off- ered to apply this one and everything went well, except that the bally stuff refused to dry, Expert opinion was sought and the discovery was made that in the second instance the wrong can had been brought forth and the "second coat" was found to consist, not of varnish, but of Mabola, a vege- table oil used in cooking. Needless to say, it was quite a muss to clean up and extreme caution was exercised before the next application was made. —Dundalk Herald, Atkinson -Charlesworth- Spring flowers and ferns in attract- ive arrangement at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry W. Charlesworth, Clinton, made a lovely setting for the marriage of their only daughter, Ellen Myrtle, and Mr. Percy Henry Atkinson, Woodstock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Owen S. Atkinson of Grand Bend which took place at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Rev. A. Lane, Pastor of Wesley Willis United Church, Clinton, officiated -The bride given in marriage by her father look- ed lovely in a gown of muted blue suede crepe, with navy accessories. She carried a 'bouquet of Briarcliffe roses, baby's breath and fern, Miss Virginia Harris, Gerrie, was brides- maid. The bridegroom was attended by Alt', Burton Greene of Grand Bend. Miss Margaret Snarling, Clinton, played the wedding music, also ac- companist for Miss Dorothy Corliss, soloist. After the ceremony a recep- tion was held when the bride was as- sisted by her mother and the mother WORKING TO MAKE TELEPHONE SERVICE eg7 m O 0 4s. ''4%.vwnumw•kmle.u����,ykwaaysv\%%. c�v a aa� WHEN this Company began 60 years ago, only part of the money needed to develop the service could be raised in Canada. The American Bell Telephone Company agreed to provide the remainder—about one-third of the capital required. The relationship thus begun with the Bell System across the line has continued ever since. Today the American Telephone and Telegraph Company owns about 23 per cent of this Company's stock. The connection has been invaluable both to this Com- pany and to telephone users in Canada. The great research department of the Bell System — the Bell Telephone Laboratories — has evolved a continuous series of improvements in every department of tele- phone service. These have been available for our use in Canada, so that telephone service in the Dominion has kept abreast of the latest developments. Costs to the user are the lowest in the world for comparable service. Canadians use the telephone more frequently than the people of any other land — a fact that is directly related to the ready access we have always had to improvements in equip- ment and operating methods, and to the econ- omies made possible by scientific research!
