at 10.30 a.m.
Seaforth firemen and Dr. E.
A. McMaster worked on the boy
with revival equipment for some
time before the youngster was'
pronounced dead.
Three boys of the family had
started for Constance store for
a loaf of bread. The eldest boy
Everett went to the store while
John, 11, and Aaron, remained
to play near the river. They
were told by their brother not
to go in the water as neither
could swim.
Later John rushed home to
get his father. Mr. Hessel and
Stewart Dale quickly went to
the river and pulled Aaron from
the water and called Seaforth
for help.
The boy is thought to have
been in the water about half an
hour. Water in the swimming
hole is not over four feet deep
and is a spot where the neigh-
borhood children have had fun
every summer. This is not the
deep hole on a neighboring
farm where previous accidents
have happened.
The boy was clad only in his
shorts when taken from the wa-
ter. It is believed the young-
sters had undressed and were
playing on the bank, waiting
until the older brother returned.
As the hank is slippery he mayhave slipped into the river.
The Hessels came here from
Alberta last November and are
living on the former Jack Free-
man farm. They are Dutch.
The body is resting at the
Beattie funeral home, Clinton,
until Friday, May 6, at noon,
thence to the Christian Reform-
ed Church, Clinton, where the
funeral service will be conduct-
ed at 2 p.m. by the minister,
Rev. D. J. Hoytelna. Interment
will be in Clinton cemetery.

C. of C. To Help
Safety Week Here
After several instances of
children riding cycles at night
without lights had been report-
ed to the Chamber of Commerce
it was decided to have a cycle
safety week to run in conjunc-

carried on by our police force.
Due to their co-operation we
have been able to secure safety
films which, we hope, will be
shown in all our schools during
safety week which starts Mon-
day, May 9th. On the Saturday
of that week we will have a
cycle rodeo at the town park
and all children attending, with
