SON OF FORMER PRINCIPAL
DIES IN PLANE CRASH
Friends here were very sorry to
learn of the sad death of William
John Spencer, who was born at Sea -
forth while his father was principal
a.f the high school here, The death of
Lieut. Spencer in the prime of his
life is a sad bereavement for his
family and also is a loss to the Navy
of a highly trained officer who had
ten year's' experience,
A despatch from Halifax dated
April 24 reports:
A navy Avenger aircraft, ripper'-
, ently developing engine trouble,
crashed at nearby Shearwater base
today, killing the pilot. Be was the
eighth naval airman to die within a
week.
Victim of today's crash was Lieut.
William John Spencer, 28, of Ti'en-
ton, Ont., son of a high school prin-
cipal.
' The Avenger, a torpedo bomber
being used for anti-submarine work
,by the RCN Air Arm, crashed about
a half -mile from the base near a
lake, It immediately •burst into
flames.
Pilots who watched the takeoff
said it appeared the Avenger exper-
ienced engine trouble shortly after
clearing the runway and that the
pilot attempted to return to base.
Spencer leaves his widow, Mils.
Marion Spencer of Dartmouth. His
parents live at 140 Henry St., Tren-
ton.
At about the time of the crash the
carrier Magnificent, floating base of
the air arm, was at sea off South-
western Nova Scotia, conducting a
memorial service for seven other air
crash victims. The seven died when
two Avengers apparently collided
and crashed into the sea during a
night exercise last Thursday. Their
bodies were not recovered.
The navy ordered the usual court
of inquiry, but said there was little
possibility the Avengers would be
grounded. They said that today's
crash was the first for at least a
year in which engine trouble was
evident.

miles east of Winthrop was damag-
ed by fire about noon on Wednes-

Catherine Alles, 90, died Tuesday at
her son's home here after a brief
illness. Born in Egremont Township,
she married there 71 years ago and
moved to Holstein. Her husband
