Slst Robert E. •Rolbinson of Goshen Line, Stanley, passed away very suddenly. Although he had had a heart condi- tion for some time he had been able to enjoy life and was quite active. On the day of his death he had visit- ed friends in Goderich and Bayfield. On coming home he had supper with his wife, went eel into the yard and suddenly passed ieway. He was born on Goshen line, Stanley, on Sept. 13, 1878, the son of the late Edward Robinson and Annie Orr. On June 1st, 1904, he was united in marriage to Maggie Maud Cluff of Tucker - smith, and they farmed on Parr line till 1908 when they went West to Carlyle, Sask., where they remained till 1937 when they returned again to Ontario, purchasing the farm of Wm. J. Dowson in the old home community. He was a man who was diligent in business. He farmed quite extensively while' in Saskat- chewan, but during the drought years of the thirties, like so many others, he was forced to give it up and returned with his family to On- tario. But in spite of the drought and grasshoppers and material set- backs, he never lost hope, 'but was always optimistic and with a strong faith in the Higher Power he Believ- ed that all things work together for good to them that love God. There- fore he and his family started in afresh and their faith and efforts have been rewarded. He was a man of very genial disposition, a kind and loving husband and father and will be greatly missed in the home and also in the community where through the years he has made many warm friends. He was also a man of deep convictions and not only in the church and the Sunday school, but by his contacts with the people day by day he did not fail to emph- asize by his life and by his words the all important thing in life, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." Since his boyhood days he had taken a deep interest in the work of the church and in every good and worthy cause, being a member of the Meth- odist Church and later of the United Church in which he held the position of elder and S.S. teacher. The funeral service was held in the Goshen church on Sunday, Sep- tember 3rd and was largely attend- ed. Deb. (Miss) Reba'Hern officiated and spoke touching words of the life of the deceased and words of cern- fort to the sorrowing family and friends. A lovely duet, "Beyond the Sunset," was sung by Mrs. Ruskin Keys and Mrs. .Elmore Keys. Inter- ment was in Bayfield cemetery. Spe- cial mention should be made of the kindness and thoughtfulness of the neighbors and friends, also of the beautiful floral tributes. The family are deeply grateful and appreciative. •Surviving •besides his wife are one son, Douglas, -of Stanley, one daugh- ter (Helen) Mrs. Earl Dignan of Hay twp. and four grandchildren; three brothers, Thomas of Egmond- ville; Richard of •Stanley, and Rev.

P£he following statement has been issued by Mr. J. W, Monteith, presi- dent of Robert Bell Industries Lim- ited, Seaforth: We are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. J. D. "Don" Livingston as general manager of Robert Bell Industries Limited, Mr, Livingston gained his first manufacturing experience with the Clark Metals Ltd. in Listowel. He moved with thae firm to Belleville when taken over by Stewart -Warn- er Inc. His experience includes 10 years producing tools, dies, jigs, fix- tures and special machinery in man- ufacturing plants and sub -contract- ors' machine shops. (During the past war he held a special assignment, assisting sub- contractors in tooling up for war production and following through the machining of precision parts for one of the largest gun manufactur- ers in Canada. He was then engaged by the Chrysler' Corporation of Can- ada Ltd. for a period of two years in a similar capacity while that com- pany was returning to peace time production. For the past three years Mr. Livingston has been suc- cessfully associated directly in the sales and service of heavy road machinery. The appointment of a new gen- eral manager has purposely been delayed until a man could be located with adequate plant experience and a knowledge of our present lines as well as -other potential products for this Industry. We feel that Mr. Liv- ingston's experience well qualifies him for the position. He has already assumed his new responsibilities. HENSALL S. S. CLASS REUNITES AT BAYFIELD Jowett's Grove, Bayfield.
