RECORD OF NOTT FAMILY
COMPILED IN BOOKLET
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Nott of Eg-
mondville are receiving many letters
of thanks for the Christmas gift
which they sent this year to all the
branches of the Nott family, a book-
let compiled by Mr. and Mrs. Nott
containing complete record of the
ming a con p
family -Of the late Thomas Nott and
Martha Carter Nott, parents of W.
J. Nott.. The booklet consists of six-
teen pages printed on deckle -edge
paper and records in detail all
births, deaths and marriages in the
original 'family and descendants,
from 1837 to 1948, a period. of 111
years. Much research and painstak-
ing effort on the part of Mr. and
Mrs. Nott went into the preparation
of the data and the result is a book
that will prove of 'lasting value, be-
sides being a gift that was out of the
ordinary. -
Thomas Nott first saw the light of
day at the pioneer. Nutt homestead
on the London. Road on Dec. 21st
1837. This farm south of Clinton is
still in the -Nott family, being now
owned by Mr. Fred Nott.
After his marriage m 1859 to
Martha Carter, they went to live
on the Morris and Grey boundary
near Wroxeter. In 1874 they came.
to Tuckersmith and .a year later to
Alma Corners on the Huron Road,
where the family remained while
Thomas Nott went out to British
Columbia which must have been a
long and strenuous trip in those
days. Not liking the prospects at the
Coast be returned and farmed on the
old Dunlop place near Kinburn until
1892, when he moved his family to
the District of Algoma. There he
took up land at Port Findley, 25
miles from Sault Ste Marie. Clear-
ing the alder bushes away, he had a
farm of fine black humus soil of
great depth which produced wonder-
ful crops. 'Thomas Nott died in 1905
and his wife in 1914, but his farm is
still carried on in the family. The
ten children of Thomas Nott and
Martha Carter were Robert, Albert,
Mary, Eliza, William John, Sarah
Elizabeth, Annie, George, Martha,
James.

REV.•T. DALE JONES IS
APPOINTED RECTOR
The many friends of FYI: T. Dale
Jones, the Protestant Chaplain at
the Radar School, Clinton, will be
interested to hear that he has re-
signed from the Royal Canadian Air
Force to accept the Rectorship of
St. Thomas' Church, Seaforth. FAL
Jones came to Canada in 1929 on a
scholarship and studied at Emman-
uel College of the University of Sa-
skatchewan. Following ordination he
became rector of St. Paul's Church
at Kerrobert, Sask. In Noveinber
1934 he received a call to work with
Bishop Sovereign in the vast diocese
of Athabasca. As rector and rural
dean of 'Grand Prairie he had much
scope for his many gifts. In 1935
he was appointed chairman of the
Diocesan board of religious- educa-
tion and secretary of the Diocesan.
council of social service. While in
Grand Prairie he was the president
of the scout group committee and
then scoutmaster. One of the inter-
esting features of his work was the
weekly radio broadcast over CFGP,
the local radio station, and his morn-
ing meditations were heard as far
down as the Arctic circle. In 1942
he received an invitation to become
the rector of the eathedral church of
St. Paul at Kamloops, B.C., in the
diocese of Cariboo. Shortly after-
wards he also undertook officiating
work for the RCAF at Rayleigh
Mount, which was the armament sup-
ply depot for the Pacific Coast. With
the shortage of chaplains due to the
expansion of the RCAF, Padre Jones
entered the full time chaplaincy ser-
vice and from then on was posted to
various stations in No. 2 Training
Command. The highlight of his ex-
periences was when he was appoint-
ed senior chaplain at RCAF Station,
River's, Manitoba, the largest navi-
gation school in the British Empire
Training Plan. In 'February 1945 he
went overseas and was appointed
chaplain to the famous "Goose'
&auadron" then stationed at Linton -
on -Ouse, Yorks, to be later- trans-
ferred to the `Lions Squadron" at
Leeming. While at Leeming he visit-
ed France and Italy in the interests
and welfare of the men still station-
ed overseas after "V" Day. To en-
able him to understand better the
many problems confronting the per-
sonnel with whom he came in con-
tact, especially aircrew, Padre Jones
flew every available time he could.
In June 1946 he returned to Canada
and was posted to Clinton. While at
Clinton he has tried to work to the
best interest of the station. He has
been station librafian, Welfare of-
ficer, accommodation officer and
secretary of the RCAF benevolent
fund. Although not all active partici-
pant in sports yet he has been an
ardent supporter of all summer and
winter games. His chief hobbie are
reading, gardening and music. Ile is
a married man with one son age 7.
While he has been stationed at•Clin-
ton Padre Jones has resided in God-
erich and has been an active mem-
ber of St. George's parish. Padre
and Mrs. Jones are looking forward
to their work in Seaforth and hope
to take up residence here early in
February,

CELEBRATED EIGHTIETH
BIRTHDAY ON TUESDAY

TIE VOTE FOR
TUCKERSMITH COUNCIL
A tie vote for fourth place on
Tuckersinith council and the runnel' -
up just one vote behind has aroused
widespread interest in the outcome
of the Tuckersinith municipal elec-
tion of Monday.
Reeve Arthurichor o was re-
elected
n
elected over his opponent, Charles
Mae'Kay. Councillors elected are
Roy Bell, Harold Jackson and Gor-
don Richardson. Tied for fourth and
last place are William Rogerson, a
member of 1948 council, and Roy F.
Pepper, a former councillor, each
having 338 votes. Alfred Moffat was
only one vote behind with 337.
Under the regulations, the town-
ship clerk must cast the deciding
vote to break a tie, but first a re-
count will be field before Judge
Costello, by a recent amendment.
If a tie still exists after the re-
count, then Mr. Edwin P, Chesney
will cast his deciding vote. But with
three candidates within one vote of
each other, anything may happen as
a result of the recount.
This is believed to be the first
time in many years that tie vote has
oceurred in this district in a munici-
pal election.
Mr. Chesney will make his report
to Judge Costello at Goderich on
Wednesday afternoon, after which
the Judge will set a time and place
for the recount.

BUILDING BOATS •
AT EGMONDVILLE}
First thing you know Egmondville
will be famous as a boat building
centre. Right now three boats are
under construction. Norman Mac-
Lean ha started a ' nineteen -foot
cruiser for inboard motor, at his
workshop at home. Elmer Stephen- i
son, Bert Haney and Jack Wright'
are at work on an outboard boat and
a sea flea type. Mr. Milt Hoff in re-
cent years has built several beauti-
ful boats during the whiter and his
success was an inspiration to others.
COUNCIL MEETINGS
OPEN TO PUBLIC
A sure way to find out whether
you, as a local voter, chose wisely or
otherwise at our past mmnicipal
election would be to pay the council
chambers a visit some meeting night"
and see them all in action. The past
couple of years has seen capacity
crowds at local nomination meetings
but town business is transacted at
council meetings and T am sure tine
new council would appreciate more
people taking an interest in their ad-
ministration. It's my bet that if an
admission was charged a hall would
have to be hired to seat everyone.
