Tues- day afternoon meetings of Hob- by Class for the Boys and Girls are to be held for the month of May only on Saturday mornings. 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.
