Clinton News-Record, 1985-5-8, Page 5.from death called prow entia Ago -May 7,1885 last week, Mr. John rt tate 4th concession of Goderich withhia wife and daughter were �4a buggy' in front of Whitely'e hotel nto 40 going home. In turning PAC cramped short and Mr. thrown to the ground alighting ie#il Miss Johnston with almost acrobatic agile leaped out of the buggy and the lines, thus preventing the gni from un ring away, but not .before lits Johnston had been trampled on. The • lady occupants of the buggy were not in - jt, And we are glad that though Mr. Johnston receivedquite a severe cut on the head, and was otherwise bruised, his in- juries are not of a serious nature. Being a heavy man and well up in years, his escape 4110 from sudden death may almost be reckoned providential. It is alleged that a Mr. Paltridge, a former resident of Clinton, now of Galt, was the vic- tim of a merciless hoax the other day in Lucknow. He advertised in the "Glebe" for a lady correspondence, with a view to matrimony. A lady correspondent invited him to Lucknow. Arriving there he was driven all over the village without getting a glimpse of his charmer, tin pans, cow bells and horns making matters pleasant and enabling him to bear his disappointment. The "boys" wanted $10 to cease their atten- tions, which they didn't get. He left the village with anything but good will towards its people. - 75 years ago - May 5, 1910 Clinton's Councillor Jackson has with his usual enthusiasm taken up the More Daylight question. Councillor Jackson believes it would be a good thing during the mid -summer months and local employers of labor agreed to co-operate in making it a success. In short, the proposition is to call six o'clock in the morning seven and begin work at that hour, what we now call five to be the closing -down hour. There would be thus one more hour of daylight for recrea- tion. Councillor Jackson's resolution asked citizens that Sunday midnight, May 30 to Sunday, midnight, Sept. 4, all watches and clocks be advanced one hour, the same to be known as Local or Town Time. The motion was passed without a dissenting voice. 50 years ago - May 9, 1935 We have often seen snow storms in May, WEEr{1 WEATHER APRIL 1985 1984 30 22 2 20 4 MAY 1 15 9 12 -3 2 17 4 10. 1 3 18 5 14 3 4 16 1 13 3 5 22 11 15 4 6 19 9 20 1 RAIN 12 mm as late as the 204 rode or later.
