YEARS AS JEWELER J. A. Westcott First Learned Business in 1,911. J. Arnold Westcott, well-known Main Street businessman, has com- pleted forty years in the watch repairing and jetyellery business in Seaforth. Mr. Westcott first learn- ed the 1iade with the Iate F. S. Savauge from 1911-1915. He then enlisted for service in World War I and served until 1919. Upon discharge, he joined the late J. F. Daly in the ratter's shop located on the north side of the ';resent garage. About 1923 Mr. Daly moved his jewellery store to where Mr. Westcott is now doing business, Mr. Savauge having con ducted his business in this store until" 1923 when he moved to the present Savauge store. In 1927 Mr. Westcott bought the business from Mr. Daly and has since carried on in his own nacre For a short time during 1926 Mr, Westcott had his own business in the store now being occupied by Isaac Hudson. • Pictures Tell Story Of Fall Fair Activities J.

St. CoIumban became champions of Industrial Hockey League and winners of the Baker trophy, after defeating Bosharts 3-2 in a sudden death game played in Memorial Arena here Thursday night, St. Columban broke a two -all deadlock in just 40 seconds of the second overtime period, when Jack Lane and McQuaid set up a per- fect play for Malone, who pushed the disk into the net. The first period of the game was scoreless, 'but play was fast and some superb work by the goalies kept both teams of the score sheet. At 3:20 of the second period, Hildebrand scored for Bosharts only to have the score tied by Ma- lone, just 30 seconds later. Players were sticking to their checks, but at 5:00 Dale broke away, to put Bosharts one up. St. Cbiumban pressed hard and after having a good margin of the pie,' 'were rewarded at. 8:10 when Quaid picked up a pass' from O'Connor, to tie the score. From then on to the end of regulation time, there was no furthdr scoring. St. Columban set up play after play, only to be foiled by the Sea - forth goalie. Morris, in the St. Colunlban net, saved what looked to be sure goals, but was given great support by the defence and backchecking of the forward lines. Tension ran high in the first ov- ertime period as St. Columban tried in vain to get that winning goal. On the play they deserved the reward that came at the 40 - second mark of the second over- time period. It was a grand game to win and a tough one to lose. Both teams gave all they had in a keenly - fought and clean game. In fact, it was the style of hockey for which a good deal of credit should be given to both teams. Summary First Period—Goals: None.

It will be stationed in the Town Hall. ' The machine which will be pur- chased 'is designed for use in those very desperate cases where respir- ation• has stopped. In cases, such as drowning, carbon -monoxide pois- oning, electric shocks, asthma, strangulation and asphyxia of the newborn, it produces respiration mechanically at normal rhythm, re- liably, effectively and safely. It automatically adjusts itself to any size lung and a near normal re- spiratory rate, and will \treat three persons simultaneously. h of Details the fund-raisingplan t have not yet been completely worked out, according to J.
