McGavin, Passes at 95 - The death occurred 'on Monday afternoon of John J. McGavin, widely known McKillop farmer and drover. He was in his 96th year. , Mr. McGavin bad been in' good health until four months ago, when - he fell and fractured his hip. The accident, which happened a couple of days after his. 95th birthday, necessitated his removal to Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth. He was able to return to his home about a month ago, and ,for a time - appeared to be recovering. While he was an active farmer for many years; it was as a drover that he was most widely known. For 40 years he represented the U.F.O. and shipped livestock to Toronto markets. Throughout that lime he made weekly trips to the city, where he was a familiar and highly esteemed figure: While in recent years he has not been able to continue his Toronto trips, he has retained his interest in the markets and his advice was valued by his neighbors and those with whom he had done business for so many years. Mechanically inclined, he was one of the first in the area to own an automobile, and drove'for more than 40 years without an aecident. • His interest in mechanical develop- ments, however, never overcame his love of a .good horse, and long after 'the motor car took over in providing rural transportation he continued to drive many miles with a horse. Born in Stanley Township, he was the son of the late Elizabeth Graham, of Bayfield, and William • McGavin, a native of Ireland. He moved with hisparents to lot 21, con. 12, McKillop,. as `a" child.

'These, when filled out, are to be presented at the 011ie when the visit is made foi the•tuberlin test. Pointing out that it is a free Flinic, Huron TB officials • are hopeful that all members, over six months of age, of all families, will take advantage of the oppor- tunity. The test will show whether TB exists, or has existed. Then, if it shows a positive reading on the second day when a return visit is made, an X-ray will be taken. This X-ray will show whether or not TB is active at the present time. The clinic, at the Seaforth Church, July 25, 26 and 27, is open from 2 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. The return and X -Ray days are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. At Hensall, the Arena will • be the scene of the check on Thurs- day, with the second visit on Tues- day, August 2. -Zufrich - Area Man Drowns At Snowden's Beach The body of Frederick Donald Liebold, RR 3, Zurich, was recov- ered at 9:30 Monday pigiit after a 15 -hour search in Lake Huron.
