Accustomed as they must be to the remarks made about their valâ€" ue of the material things of life, the Scotch people must surely deâ€" light in knowing that what they turn out is usually around for a long time. This is certainly the ease of a watch now owned by Mr. David C. Thomson of this Town, a true Scot, who daily sits behind his desk in the local Hydro office. The watch is a perfect example of Scotch workmanship, beautiful in every sense, yet constructed by hand, to last through the years. 8o far it has managed to give the hour to three generations of Thomsons, and except for the odd visit to the joweller‘s for cleaing, or perhaps to replace a crystal, the vest pocâ€" ket watch keeps perfect time.

Now to older people in 0flnby.1 Andy Clarke needs no introduction, but to those newcomers of not above fortyâ€"odd years‘ residence a word of explanation may not come amiss, as to why, for instance, we have always made so much of him. Andy was a native son who in his adventurous teens left his home town and spent thirty years in the big cities as a newspaper man. After that were the eight years of Neighbourly News, in which he reached "the pinnacle of a unique career." One of the times when he eame back home was on a Blossom Bunday in May, 1946, to take a prominent part by broadcasting his Neighbourly News from among the glorified peach orchards of the Niagara Peninsula. ‘This was a big day for Grimaby, A BOOK WORTH READING At any rate, everybody listened (Continued on Page 9) $2.50 Per Year, $3.00 In U.S.A., 5¢ Per Copy County Judge Thomas J. Darâ€" by Ruled That William E. Wrightman, An Inspector Of The Department Of Highways Entered Property Of Miss Mildred Dixon And Damaged A Sign Advertisâ€" ing Her Restaurant. ‘The Ontario Department of Hightways, in a ruling handed down last Thursday afternoon by Judge Thomas J. Darby, Lincoin County jurist, in effect, lost a court case although the department itself was not named in the action. Judge Darby ruled that William E. Wrightman, an inspector of the Miscellaneous Permits Branch of the Department of Highways, had trespassed on property owned by Miss Mildred V. Dixon ou the Queen Elizabeth Way, a mile west of Grimsby and had damaged a sign advertising her restaurant, El Kancho Casablanca. | Alithough its origin dates back over half a century, a wrought lron fence recently took up its new home on Grimsby‘s Main Street, and yet for all its years, this work of art stands as strong and substantial as the name of its first owner, the late Dr. Algerâ€" non Woolverton. _‘ Symbolic with the founding of Grimsby was the name of Woolverâ€" ton, and down through the years the town‘s history has been linked | closely with this fine old family who were a part of the hearty lllnltfll Empire Loyalists who setâ€" tide in this region away back | around 1780. Damages of $350 was awarded Miss Dixon, along with costs of the action. ‘The case was heard before Judge Darby on Sept. 19 and he withheld his judgment at that time. The judgment covered seventeen pages. ‘The action stemmed from an inâ€" «ident last Nov. 27, when Wrightâ€" man entered Miss Dixon‘s property and sawed down the sign. Unable to bring suit against the departâ€" ment, as a part of the Crown, Miss Dixon charged Wrightman perâ€" sonally. At the hearing an attempt was made to have the case thrown out, as Wrightman claimed he had beey acting as an employee of the Department of Highways. It was vonceded, however, that unless Wrightman‘s act was justified by legialation duly enacted that he must be held Hable. FINE OLD FENCE NOW FRONTS OLD LANDMARK W roug ht lron Fence That Graced Dr. Woolverton Resâ€" idence In Hamilton Now On Main Street. After Andy‘s death, in May, 1048, his widow set about selectâ€" ing the cholcest bits from his vast files of notes, articles and Neighâ€" bourly News broadcasts to be made into a memorial book. In this task she was ably assisted by friends of her own and Andy‘s, for whom it was a labour of love. The result Is fully justifiedâ€"the "Mayor of Little Places" lives again in its | pages. | Phis book is diferent, in a reâ€" |freahing way. There are no chapâ€" | ters in the usual sense of the word. | Instead it is divided into twelve |sections named for the twelve | months of the year, Kach sectior | is made up of spveral of Andy‘ brief stories under â€" ava.catakis. The particular fence in question now stands proudly in front of the reaidence of Dr, A. F. Mcintyre, and will remain there as long as this fine home, which is another Woolverton landmark, remains a doctor‘s residence. As we mentioned before, the fence first came into being over sixty years ago, when the late Dr Algernon Woolverton fronted his to Andy‘s Neighbourly News on Sunday mornings, particularly the country editor himself (including his staff and all his subscribers), for might not his publication be the next to be floodlighted on the airwaves by Andy‘s own magic.
