tbe cwka j family connection ends death of mr harry dayfoot in toronto last week ended a family connection with georgetown which began over a hundred years ago when his father established a tan nery here which developed later into the day foot shoe co and still later c b dayfoot 5t co the dayfoot name was prominent for many years when members of the family publicized georgetown across the continent with their line of high grade work boots and ski boots and did their port in church school and municipal affairs in our own brief time in town mr harry served as a hydro commas sjoner and

among the ccn tury s iwst known families we thought t the time and still think thu when mr dayfoot sold the main part of his property for what has now become the victoria crescent subdivision the family name should have been perpntuutad locally day foot drive would be both euphonious and his torically suitable perhaps residents of that street will combine someday with town council to keep this

robinson ken robinson of meaford who is doubly related to the local couple won a plymouth club coupe with his 5 ticket in a restricted draw in that town to raise funds for artificial ice in the arena such stories always have an angle and ken had to be persuaded to buv the ticket for he is a rec ent bridegroom and saving every spare penny for a new house he is a lucky man for a few ears ago he won a refrigerator in another draw it s not usual for men to steal the show but we hear that at the staines carney wedding in norval saturday it was almost the case mary cinu y s four young brothers were
