While Bob Dal- ton had the farm rented he met with an accident in a gravel pit on Herbie Smale's farm.

Lot 19 It is said that. a Drake, a cousin of John R. Drake, was the first to live on Lot 19. He later went to the States. Robert Holmes, from Donegal, Ireland. who married Eliz- abeth Rolliston, was the first own- er, He owned it from 1856 till he sold to William Norris in 1870. Norris paid $3,000 for it. and in 1878 sold to his brother-in-law, James Barbour, for 46,400. This shows how quickly land advanced in. price at that time. From 1S63 David Lawson lived in a house on the northeast corner of this farm. The Lawsons kept what money they had in gold and stoftd it in a chest in their house. Tom. their young son, one day got•out some of this money. As white money was more of a novelty to im and not knowing the v n. Sr., h value of Tuffin, his own, he wanted to make an ex- Tuffin, change with one of the Barbour house: girls. Said he. "Maggie Jane! Mag- gi.e Jane! Give me some of your white money and I'll give you some of my yellow!" Occupants—Mr. Drake, Robert Holmes, William Norris, James Barbour, Sr., James Barbour, Jr. Lot 20 Joseph Campbell, who was born in Dalhousie, took up Lot 20 in the 50's, but very soon sold the East 50 to John Lavery, who in the late 80's moved to Concession 7. John. Lavery married Jemima McKibbon and they had at least eight chil- dren: Robert, John, William, Mar- garet Ann and Mary (Mrs. Maxwell Gray)—lived and died in Hibbert. Mrs. John Lamb, Mrs. Howard Gray and Mrs. William Watson liv- ed out West. After James Barbour bought the farm, Wat Leppard liv- ed in the house for a few years. Later the Lavery house was torn down, and in 1947 the barn was struck by lightning and burned. Occupant—East 50: Jos. Camp- bell, John Lavery. James Barbour, Sr., James Barbour, Jr. Joseph Campbell, who married Sarah Jane, Norris, lived on the west 50 till the late 60's when they moved to Walton- There were six in their family: Margaret (Mrs. James Carter), Joe, George, Sarah Lot 16 Rev, Isaac B. Aylesworth became the owner of Lot 16 in 1856_ That same year he sold the West 25 acres of the North 50 to William Swale, and the other part he re- served for village lots, William Smale in 1867 sold to William T. Pellow, This gully was known as the "Park" lot, and it was while Pellow owned it that they whip- sawed lumber here before there was a sawmill ,in the village. When Pellow sold the reserved two' acres where his house stood, and here John Sadler later built his apiary, cider mill, planing mill and saw- mill. Occupants—North 50: Rev. Isaac B. Aylesworth; West 25 of this 50: William Smale, William T. Pellow, John Pellow, John Lavery, John R. Drake, Mrs. John R. Drake, Henry Drake, Kenneth Drake. Two acres northwest corner— William T.

Isaac Aylesworthalso sold the south 50 of Lot 16 to William Smale in 1856 Swale owned it from then till 1864. Tom Hammond, a cooper by .trade, was the next owner. There was a lime kiln on the farm for many years, and it was Mrs. Hammond who took charge of the bring of it. Staffa Cemetery, which it is definitely known. was opened by 1862. was taken off this 50. There is a pos- sibility it was laid out and fenced in the 50's, perhaps while Rev. Isaac Aylesworth was still the own- er of it. In later years Ted Drake. a successful hog raiser. was the owner of this lot. While he was here the- brick house was built and the barn was remodelled. Occupants—South 50; Rev.

But "far- thest north" was reached recently, when a U.S. Air Force pilot set down his aircraft at the geo- graphic North Pole — on a pair of aluminum skis. Aluminum's lightness - with - strength has made it the basic material of the aircraft industry. And because aluminum is only IA to 3 as heavy as other base metals, a pound of it goes a lot further. Which is one more reason why so many manufacturers of so many products have turned to aluminum to help keep their prices down. Aluminum Com- pany of Canada, Ltd. (Alcan).
