rom my win• dow Obituary
JAMES ALBERT (BERT) NOTT
James Albert (Bert) Nott died
November second in Etobicoke
after a lengthy illness. He was
81,
Mr. Nott was born in Lon-
desboro on November 22, 1890,
the son of the late Thomas
Nott and Emma Lear. He atten-
ded S. S, No. 5 school.
On June 10, 1914, he married
the former Mabel McCool in
Londesboro, She predeceased
him in 1969.
Mr. Nott , farmed on the
Eighth Concession of Hullett
Township until 1930 when he
and his family moved to Strat-
ford, After 1969, he moved to
Mississauga and Etobicoke
where he lived with his
daughter.
He was a member of St. Johns
United Church, Stratford, and
Londesboro United Church, He
was also a member of the
Masonic Lodges both in Lon-
desboro and Stratford.
Mr. Nott is survived by one
daughter Mrs. Joseph
(Geraldine) Miller of Etobicoke
and two grandchildren.
Funeral services were held
from the Ball Funeral Home
with Rev. S. McDonald of
Londesboro in charge. Burial
was in Clinton Cemetery.
Pallbearers were: Frank
Roberton and William Rober-
ton, Seaforth; Amos
Osbaldeston, Goderich; Ronald
Osbaldeston, Paisley; Reg
MbCool, Port Hope; and Morris
Thomas of Flint, Michigan.
Salvation Army Captain
William Clarke travels Canada
from coast to coast. He also
visits Bermuda and, sometimes,
the United States. He's coming
to Goderich November 22-26.
In his capacity as National
Evangelist, he visits com-
munities large and small,
proclaiming the Christian
Gospel in music, song and
message.
The thing that makes Captain
Clarke and his ministry really
unique is that he carries on this
work in spite of the handicap of
almost total blindness. He has
three per cent vision in one eye
only. "I can manage to get
around," he states, "and can
even read a fair amount of ink
print with the microscopic low
vision aid that I wear". Most of
the time, though, he reads
Braille. Constant travelling has
its problems for anyone, but for
someone with only three percent
sight, a large trunk full of
Braille books, musical and elec-
tronic equipment, plus personal
effects, it is often arduous. "I
was engaged in this work from
1947 to 1953, and I've been at it
now since 1964," he says, "so I
guess you'd have to say I'm
somewhat of an expert on
railway, bus and boat schedules
across the country."
In addition to his Gospel ser-
vices, held in Salvation Army
citadels across Canada, the
Captain is nationally known as
an after-dinner speaker at ser-
vice clubs and community
groups, and is a frequent guest
on T.V., and radio. Wherever
possible, he sprinkles his ap-
pearances with vocal stylings,
accompanying himself on the
piano, accordion or organ.
The Salvation Army operates
in more than seventy countries,
and as far as can be determined,
there are only three other of-
ficers who have been accepted to
serve in this vast movement
with the handicap of blindness.
Two of them, in Salvation Army
Schools for the Blind in
developing countries, are
engaged in teaching, and the
third is preparing to go to such a
school. Captain Clarke has been
handicapped from early
childhood, and was educated at
the Ontario School for the Blind
at Brantford, Ontario. He has
been an Assistant Field
Secretary with the Canadian
National Institute for the Blind
for five years in Windsor, On-
tario, where he provided coun-
Mrs. Warren of Crediton led
the Christian Women's Club
song service on Sunday in the
chapel. Mrs. Campbell of
Crediton accompanied the
singing as well as solo numbers
on the accordian.
A group of ladies who are
taking a homemaking course at
Conestoga College have been at
the home this week assisting in
various departments and the ac-
tivities.
There were ten tables of
euchre and other games at Wed-
nesday afternoon's get-to-gether
in the auditorium.
Nineteen Girl Guides from
selling for blind people, and co-
ordinated rehabilitation services
which the C.N.I.B, provides. In
spite of his handicap, he spent
five years in charge of Salvation
Army Corps (local church
organizations) in Ontario and
the Maritimes.
In commenting on his present
appointment, he says with en-
thusiasm,— "There are many
things which excite me about
evangelism today. I'm firmly
convinced that the Gospel of
Salvation through personal
faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour
and Lord is still the answer to
the needs of the people. My job'
is to try to be an instrument for
the communication of that
Gospel. Our evangelistic
meetings provide one oppor-
tunity, but there are many
others. One of the most thrilling
is the small group gathering
which has been gaining in
popularity in recent years. It's
great to sit down with a group of
people for the purpose of
sharing our common needs, and
the conviction that those needs
can be met through a living
faith in a living Saviour, In-
creasingly these days there is an
emphasis on one to one personal
evangelism. I'm convinced that
an important part of my
ministry is that of teaching and
encouraging Christians to tact-
fully, aid wisely take advantage
of the' opportunities with whittle
they are presented in this area
every day."
Captain Clarke, his wife and
their four children live in
Hamilton.
Goderich along with their
leader, Mrs. Brady, visited
Huronview on Family Night
and provided a variety program.
Marion Melick introduced the
program which included group
singing by the girls; dance num-
bers by Kimmy Brady, Heather
Brander; banjo solos by Marie
Bolton: violin solos by Paula
Butler, accompanied at the
piano by Marlene McDougal.
Mrs. Christina Thompson
thanked the guides and their
leader on behalf of the residents.
The girls assisted the volunteers
with wheel chairs and had a
brief tour of the home.
This writer may be called
many things, but never an in-
somniac, My husband tells me
that as I'm getting into bed and
my head is nearing the pillow,
I'm already 90 percent asleep.
That's a fair assessment of the
situation, I think, I love to sleep.
I always have.
Our youngest son has many of
ray characteristics he's lovable,
gentle and kind. But when it
comes to getting up in the mor-
ning, he's exactly like his father
- wide awake at the crack of
dawn and eager to get going at
something, anything, which will
get him out of bed.
One day last week, our
youngest son - aged six years -
lost his first baby tooth, It was
no accident, It was an act of
Mother Nature, a perfectly
natural process of growing
older.
In anticipation of the coming
of the Tooth Fairy, our son
placed his tooth under his
pillow and climbed into bed at a
very early hour.
"Do you think the Too'th
Fairy will come?" I asked him,
hoping he'd tell me he wasn't
too sure about it.
"Why certainly," he ex-
claimed in his most grown-up
tone of voice, "He comes to
other boys and girls. Why
wouldn't he come for me?"
I had to admit his faith was
strong and lively. I also realized
the Tooth Fairy was in for a
financial fleecing.
"How much is a tooth worth
do you think?" I asked, trying
to get an idea just what being
the Tooth Fairy for a six-year
old of an inflation era would in-
volve.
"Oh, about five dollars," he
said, matter-of-factly.
"Five dollars," I retorted in
utter amazement. "Boy, that's a
lot more than the Tooth Fairy
used to leave when your brother
and sister were dealing with
him. I hadn't realized inflation
would affect the Tooth Fairy."
For the first time, I saw my
son's assurance slip a trifle. He
winced a little and adjusted his
sites a bit.
"Well, maybe 25 cents is
about all," he said, watching
my face carefully for a reaction.
So as the bedside lamp was
turned out for the night, the
matter was settled. The price
.was. 25 cents and ,we both
knew somehow 'the Tooth Fairy
"was informed about the deal.
It was 5 a.m, when I heard
the first rumblings from down
the hall the next morning. Our
son apparently was not sur-
prised to find his tooth missing
and a bright, shiny quarter in its
place. In fact, he wasn't even
excited enough to report his
good fortune to the family. But
he was too excited to get back to
sleep or even to be quiet.
Initially it was just humming.
Then the singing began. Before
long, it had built to a strong,
rousing singing, clapping, stam-
ping session that aroused the
whole household.
When challenged about his
noisy behaviour, our son
promised to be more quiet. He
was. He began the awful tip-
toeing routine, up and down the
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
stairs, through the entire house,
into our bedroom to check on
the clock, over to the window to
look for the first signs of
daylight.nd A
those whispers. Those in-
furiating whispers.
"When is it time for you to get
up, mom?" he'd whisper, his
lips right against my ear. "Is it
soon going to be morning?"
"Can't you be more quiet?" I
asked several times. Mommy
and daddy are tired. We want to
sleep. Go back to your bed."
Rejected and repulsed, our
son left our bedroom to console
himself in the kitchen. Before
long I heard the frig door slam
and sound of milk being poured.
Then there was the click of the
toaster and the smell of bread
getting crusty and brown. Soon
it was the scraping of the jam
jar. Next the lip smacking.
After that, the long high-
pitched whine of the empty
television channel as it waits to
begin the day's programming.
Louder and louder grew the
whine as our son tried in vain to
get some dialogue or music.
Then, with one sudden burst,
the ear-shattering sound of 0
Canada, brass band and choir.
It was at this point I rose
from the bed and descended to
the livingroom. On my way I
glanced at the clock which
declared the hour was 6 a.m. I
confronted our son.
"Where's your library book?"
I asked him, switching off the
television.
"I dunno," he answered, sen-
sing my mood.
"We'll find it," I stated.
"Look on top of the frig."
With one swift movement, he
was into the kitchen, up on the
step-stool retrieving the book.
"Now upstairs, into your
room," I ordered, feeling a
surge of power. "Turn on your
light and read your library book
- quietly - with your door shut.
I'm going back to bed and I
don't want to be disturbed for at
least one hour."
He obeyed.
Two hours later at 8 a.m., Ef
very sweet little boy softly
stroked my face.
"You going to work mom?"
he asked, shyly.
"Yes," I replied, taking his
little hand in mine • and
squeezing
,`!Yon' d better, get „up, then,,','
he, offered.. be ;late."
I agreed and began to stretch
and yawn the way mothers -
especially sleepy ones - do
sometimes.
"The Tooth Fairy came," he
told me.
"He did?" I asked.
"Yep, and he left 25 cents,"
he said, eyes wide open. "That's
not much. Some kids get more.
But it was too early to spend it
anyway. So I'm going to wait
until Saturday. Maybe I'll see
something you would like for
Christmas. You know what I
mean?"
I knew what he meant. And if
a mother has to be wakened
from a sound sleep early in the
morning, there's nobody nicer in
the whole world to do it than
one's own little son. Don't you
agree?
