The water on the Lake seemed to recede at intervals of about half -an -hour's duration, leaving small boats high and dry on the beach .

BELL NEW HURON COUNTY GAOL GOVERNOR The blaze was first noticed by Mrs. Fred Niutch, who lives near- by and she gave • the alarm. William Cochrane, an employee of the Commission, had been in the building only ten minutes prior to the bolt striking, so had a close: call. He sent D. C. Colquhoun add Louis Dutot to ring the bell. The electric bell, of course, was out of commis- sion because the power was off, and Fire Chief Grant Rath rang the old bell. Power Iteturns Later The staff of the Utilities Com- mission went right to work to get power back as soon as pos- sible, and rigged up temporary cables. Between 9.30 and 10 o'clock, the water pumps were back in use and the pressure was getting low. Clinton Public Hospital was back in line about 11 am. In this connection, Clinton RCAF personnel did a fine job by sup- plying a mobile unit for an em- ergency operation which proved successful. This unit furnished 60 -cycle current Trinity Church. (He . attended Trinity College, Toronto, and served in the Diocese of Niag- ara). She paid a tribute to the great part Mr. Morgan had play- ed in planning and carrying out the program marking our hund- red years. In responding to the toast, Mr. Morgan sd'id that he felt some- what embarassed after all the "taffy" but that he was proud to be a part of Huron Diocese.:He, also thanked the Sunday School for the gift of a cloak and biretta which was presented to him by five girls, candidates for confirmation, on behalf of the Sunday School. Rev. John Graham, Watford, a former Rector, was called upon to speak. He referred to 'the fact that we were celebrating our 100th anniversary in our 101st year and that we should not lose a year of our age! He spoke of the wonderful progress t h e presided at the piano for the response, the National Anthem. Mrs. William E. Parker, in proposing the toast to the church, spoke of Christ's command, "Go ye into all the world," and how in response to it, the Rev. Robert Francis Campbell had come es a missionary to. the Huron Tract, first to Goderich (1834) and then to Hayfield (1849). The response was the singing of "The Church's One Foundation." Mrs. Gairdner', proposed t h e toast to the Diocese. She spoke of our Rector having been edu- cated at Huron 'College: that Rev. W. M. Logan from Trinity, Rev. Canon. William Cluff, St. James, Middleton, Rev..H. R. Diehl and Rev. Louis Diehl, St. John's, Varna, and Rev. James Parke from St. Luke's,aGoshen, had all been a. part of the Diocese of Huron; and.that serving in it to- day were the Rev. James Cathing and the Venerable Archdeacon W. A. Townshend, DD., who at- tended Trinity Church Sunday School in their early years; and she reoalled also that the late Canon Lionel Naftel had offer- ed himself for the ministry from the barbarian world into wine it was launched. But admonished his hearers not to look to the past but the future, and wished Trinity every blessing. Rev. D. J. Lane, pastor of Knox Presbyterian Church mentioned the friendly feeling existing be- tween the Anglicans and Pre9by- terians—at least for 200 years! He pointed out the strides the Christian Church had m a d e, which, without God's power be- hind it, would have gone- to the wall,' In touching on a hundred years of so-called prgoress, he said that his father had died 52 tionswears hich he had never and cited the inven- tions To his hearers he said "Be Strong." Rev. F. H. Paull, Listowel, had been asked to give some remin- iscences. He said that he - had always been glad.that the late Archbishop Williams had sent him here. He went on to tell of amusing incidents in the Rec- tory with regard to their arrival; William Dixon's recipe for re- moving wallpaper; the best way to frighten MeDool's chickens out (Continued on Page Four) Students maintain Excellent, Showing Following are the promotion 'results for the school year 1949- 50, for Clinton District Collegiate Institute, In Grades XI and -XII only those subjects in which the pupil has passed are listed, Grade XI History, Algebra and Sciences and all Grade XII sub- jects, are Departmental subjects, and honour standing has been 66%te to (74eS11I an -60 tor 65% C-50% to 59'%)• In Gerdes IX and X failures in optional subjects are in brac- kets.
