RETIRES AFTER 4.4 YEARS The following froth the Galt Re- porter, refers to a brother of Mrs. George Holiand of the Bayfield Road, south of Clinton. Mr. Lobb is well known here, having begun his work in Clinton, and having visited his -relatives here on many occas- ions: "After 44 years and 4 months of service, ie J. B. Lobb, chief clerk and cashier a the! cashier t local Caned a n re l Na- tio afreight gh t f Na- tional f office, has retired on pension. Ile complg,ed .his duties an March 31.

Lobb began bis railroading career • at Clinton as chief /clerk. •-It seems quite a coin- cidence that Thes. Rumbail, local Q.N.R. agent, who. followed Mr. Lobb ' at Clinton far his first posi- tion with, the railway, was MY. Labia s chief at the termination of his long servlce with the. railway. Mg. Lobb came to Galt first in August, 1890, and has been here continuously ' ever singe• with the exception .of. a year in Brantford. He has always been an active work- er at Lincoln avenue church and A PLEASANT GATHERING The Vi A. of Wesley -Willis Uni- ted' church entertained the choir • to supper 'and a social evening ' in the church hall cur Friday last- A -very pleasant time is'rep'orted. The tables•;were prettily decorated in Easter colors and the supper pro., vided was of the finest quality.

THE HELL RINGERS Eckardt's Original Swiss Bell Ringers gave an entertainment n the town hall bn Tuesday evening. It was a good program, foo, but the -attendance was rather 'small..The concert had only been advertised one week and, as it happened, it came in the midst of a series of entertain= meat of one sort and another, But, it must be confessed, thea; Clinton does not accord the warmest of wel- comes to travelling entertainers, un- less it happens to know them and like thein well. It may be that if the Eeltardts returned they might have a better reception. A SUCCESSFUL AIRMAN The Kitchener Daily Record last week had something more to say about the •new Airways Company which is being organized in that city, with Mk. Fred Gillies as managing diretctor. Application has been made for a charter and it is the intention to purchase four new planes, apply for mail -carrying Privileges and or- ganize several flying routes. It will carry on a general transport and al- so flying instruction, "Mr. Gillies," says the Record, "has almost a unique record as an airman. During '2,000 actual flying hours, he has carried more than 4000 passengers without mishap." WINS NEW SCHOLARSHIP` Mr, ih G. Hunter, only son at. the late John Saunter and Mrs. Hunter of Clinton, who was one of Clinton's brightest Collegiate graduates and had a brilliant university comae, and who last atitutnn, after a post -grad- uate course in research work, ac- cepted a position ou the staff of Me Gill University, Montreal, has been awarded a bursary by the National Research Council. This will mean that 1421. Hunter will be able to de- vote kis entire time to research works as he will be relieved of teaching. :Mr. Mutter is a keen student and will no doubt go far in his ehosen work. His old friends in Clinton ex- tend congratulations and good wish- es for future success.
