Prague's Old Town Clock The clock is in two parts, an upper section -showing move- ments of the sun and moon and time of day, and a lower part showing days of the week) months of the year and signs of the zodiac. Visitors to Prague today gather' to watch the clock strike the hour, when small doors at the top open and statuettes of Christ and the Apostles appear in succession while one of the carved figures on the side, Death the Reaper, tolls the passing of time. One of the tourist attractions of central Europe is the astronomi- cal clock ,that faces onto the Old Town Square in Prague, the capi- tal of Czechoslovakia. The present clock is a recon- t structed model hof the old one which was damaged by fire at the tail -end. of World War II and which pre -dated the birth of Christopher Columbus. Astro- nomical clocks were fashionable in those days and the Prague city council commissioned Master Nanus, an esteemed technician of the time, to construct this one. He succeeded so well that his clock soon became the talk of Europe. According to legend, the city councillors, 'concerned that Hanes might build a better and bigger clock for some other city, , had him blinded: Friends found him in bed one morning in a state of fever, his eyes cauterized. The blinded man later asked to be taken before the clock' where, after a moment of contemplation, he reached inside and stopped it. Years went by before anyone could be found to get it, running again. To reside in Hamilton Following a honeymoon in Niagara Falls and Eastern On- tario, , and Mrss..

Pierre Blanchard It has long been an adage that "crime does not pay", but in Wingham it doesn't even pay to get belligerent.

Evidently the belligerence was Occasioned by a fee schedule of $3 for an inoculation.
