St 1.974 Seaforth men produce clock Collecting stamps, coins or dabbling in photography are popular ways of spending leisure time. Wilmer Cuthill and Cliff Broadfoot, both of Seaforth, had a better idea, for a hobby. The two men completed their first grandmother clock in April. The men were able to combine their interests with past experience as Mr. Broadfoot, who says he always "was inclined to fiddle around with clocks," put together the workings of the clock. Mr. Cuthill, an experienced cabinetmaker ventured further in his field as he did much of the woodworking on the walnut cabinet with some help from Mr. Broadfoot. When it came time to put the finish on the clock, they decided to ask Harvey Beuerman to do it, to have it done properly. The clock was actually made from a kit, put out by Colonial Clock of Waterloo. They suggested that it should take three months to assemble the 74" high clock. Although the local men started in October, they did it in three months, excluding the two-month period Mr. Broadfoot spent vacationing. Mr. Broadfoot stressed that both he and Mr. Cuthill were not Activities set by Pork Producers The Huron County Pork Pro-. ducers Association has embarked on an ambitious promotion pro- gram in the county.
