LEAVING 'THE 1?ENINSULA •
•
The following reference • to the
new manager of the local branch of
the Royal Bank appeared, in a re-
cent issue of the Wierton Echo:
"Mr. Ewart Paterson, who for the
past twenty years. has managed the
Royal' Bank of Canada at Lion's
Head, is leaving that branch and tak-
ing over the Clinton branch shortly.
A Wiarton boy, son of James Pater-
son,
aterson, Wiarton's veteran. druggist, Mr,
Paterson entered the. old Trader's
Bank in -1903, and after serving at
Ontario and -Alberta points,'took over
the Branch at, Lion's Head in 1910, a
short time before that institution
was absorbed by the Royal.. At that
time, the timber industry,' •which was
so vital to the district, was rapidly
nearing the depletion point, and the
livestock and agricultural industry of
the peninsula was far from its sub-
stantial footing of today.
;Basing his policy on a close ac-
quaintance with his clients, their
lines of business and requirements,
Mr, Paterson, by liberal and extend-
dd credit assistance, fostered the
livestock farming, commercial fish-
ing and boniness interests of the dis-
triet, and gathered to his branch the
solid support of the three Northern
Townships, Tobermory and Lion's
Mead, and was reported to have one
of the cleanest country branches of
his institution, backed by the gen-
eral good will of his entire territory.
Much regret is being expressed
that the Peninsula loses a man so in-
timately posted with its business and
community affairs generally. Quiet
living, considerate. and with his good
wife (formerly Miss Lillie Newman
of Wiarton), taking a keen interest
in church and community affairs. the
Peninsula loses a much respected cit-
izen and his family in Mr. Paterson's
removal."
APPLE ,GROWERS MEET HERE
A meeting of the apple' growers of
Huron County 'was held in the Ag-
ricultural Office, Clinton, on Tues.,
day afternoon. The attendance was
not very large but those present lis-
tened to very excellent addresses by
the different speakers. Mr, Gable,
District Fruit Inspector., was the
-
first speaker and confined his re-
marks chiefly to the new grading re-
gulations which come into effect this
year. This had been discussed. by
the growers on previous occasions
and Mr, Gable's explanation of the
new regulations was greatly appre-
ciated. .
The next speaker called upon was.
Mr. Andrew Fulton, Overseas Sales
Representative of the Ontario Fruit
Growers' Assoetation, and he .dealt
with- the methodby which
Ontario grown apples
were' marketed on the other side
last year. 'Mr. -Fulton emphasized
the fact that they were not urging
Ontario growers to; ship overseas
when- a ready market presented itself
at home,''but pointed out that often
certain varieties could be marketed
to a much better advantage on the
Great Britain minket. ,
Mr. Creases of the Ontario Fruit
Growers' Association was present
;and spoke briefly of the services
they were prepared to offer the On-
tario. grower.. -
Mr. Forsyth Smith; Fruit Trade
Commissioner, was the last speaker'
of the afternoon and delivered an ex-
cellent address on thel,apportun'itiFs
of establishing a very substautial.ex,
port market for. Ontario apples over-
seas. Ire also put on some- ver., -in'
tel motion'''picturee, which
showed how onrt apples were being
d
hap le d o the d n R En T'
g nsh„and Scottish
markets.
The apple :crop in 111firon . is. on -the
Nicht
aide this' and :this, along
with the fact that it is. a very busy
time „probably was onsible for
responsible
the small attendance but th s
e e pre
sent bad the opportunity of receivt
ing - some' worth -while information
and left with a. much better idee of
what is being done to provide a bet-
ter market for; Ontario -grown apples.
