he retired from* the active life of the

ton, where he lived until his death.

ered. Three years later, Mrs'. Robb

Aviator Killed In Last Week of War
-All in Seaforth and vicinity will dis-
tinctly remember the first and only
visit that an aeroplane has made in
our midst, which occurred a year ago
last fall, when a young aviator from
Camp Borden missed hisconnection
Ph a flight to Toronto and •was forced
to land in a field on the farm of Mr.
Robert Garrow, opposite the Maitland -
hank cemetery, a mile north of town
where he remained for several days,
and made a number of flights over the
town before he departed. The pilot of
the airplaine was Cadet Claude Wilson
afterwards Captain Wilson and all
will regret, to learn that he was killed
in an air battle with the Germans a
day or two before the close of the war.
Capt. Wilson has had a distinguished
career overseas, and during the last
two weeks of war brought ten German
planes down. On the day of hist -death
he encountered five Germans machines
in a body, three of whom he downed
before he was shot down by the other
two. Capt. Wilson was a son of Mr.
James Wilson of British Columbia, and
a grandson of the late W.R.Wilson, of
Brussels.

er of this township. This calf was
one of the finest . ever `raised in this

tion. It is a curious 'fact,. however,
that people will travel to Toronto,
Guelph and other shows to see stock,
when an equal,. or even much superior
