conditions favored the group 'cele-
brating the 91st birthday of Charles
Maxwell at the Wroxeter park on
Sunday, with '56 in attendance.
Mr, Maxwell is very active and
alert and always has one of the
best gardens in the village. He is
an avid gardner and flower lover
and besides tending his own well-
kept property, is also caretaker of
the summer home of Mac Allan of.

lawns and flowerbeds are expertly
cared for. He uses a small garden
tractor for mowing. Even with the
loss of four fingers of one hand
he can keep up with men many
years his junior.
Until 1943 he farmed on Con. C,
Howicic Twp., before retiring to the
village. His wife passed away in
1945 and since then he has lived
alone, except for the past few years
when he has spent part of the win-
ter with his daughter, Mrs. William
Parkes of London.
Mr. Maxwell has 16 grandchild-
ren and 35 great-grandchildren,
Those attending were from Lang-
ton, Toronto, Hamilton, Isondon,

1110S FOR MEM!
RADIO REJECTED
Two applications for permission
to establish a new 1 000 watt radio
station at Goderich wore recom-
mended for denial by the Canadian
Board of Broadcast 'Governors in
Ottawa last week.
The applleatirms were made by
groues headed 'by William R. Beat-
ty of Toronto and James Yarrow
of Oakville,
The board's 'Wing on the appli-
cations said that the lieensing of
a station would not. -at this Wm"—
"assure the Goderich of satisfac-
tory local service and would en-
danger the atardard of service in
Huron County generally."
spplirations were oppssed
by radio at ation CKNX in Wing-
ham and the 10 weekly newspapers
n the minty, who .conterided in
their brief that the area is ade-
quately served by the present mit-
a tn, and further expansion might
lead to a curtailment of the dual-
ity of service now rendered,
