He obtained a blue-print for a grandmother clock as o - posed to a grandfather cloce, some black walnut lumber and set to work in the basement of his.house at 208 Scugog St. Black walnut is an extremely hard and fine wood, not easily obtainable. Mr. Sturrock estimates the cost of such lumber to be in the neghborhood of $1,200 per 100 bard feet. However, e was able to find the lumber he needed from a friend. In the worksho in the basement of his ome, he began the meticulous task of cutting and sanding the lum- ber. AIl the pieces that go into building the clock, have to be cut with precision, Mr. Sturrock cautioned. If they weren't, the wood and glass aoors on tie iront would not readily close.

It was two hours of fun and delight that lacked nothing in sound, sights or performance from the time the crowd stood to sing "O Canada" to its oining the performers in their ast song. The narrator ap- peared to be Charlie Farq- uherson, soft cap, crooked sweater and mixed up phrases that brought laughter from all. The men were assisted by the stalk (centre cabinet, enclosing the pendulum) is il by 8 inches. When questioned as to the monetary value of the clock. Mr. Sturrock replied that it would be worth more than $1,000, and that the clock he had viewed in the store at the beginning of his venture was $1;200 and made of plywood. Mr. Sturrock also bas a grandfather lock in his home, which he ordered built. This clock is also of black walnut. It t was intended as a Christmas present for his wife Ada, f however it wasn't finished until after Christmas, and after he had built his own grandmother clock. Mr. Sturrock at present is undertaking the construction of two more locks for his t sons.

They tripped the light fantastic about the stage like butterflies in contrast to the dwarfs who according to their nature dealt with misbehaving feet and other troubles. The queen was the picture of tyranny and the tragic part played by the three huntsmen was relieved by the sight of their hunting equip- ment. The greater part was musical and it seems the dwarfs must have attended snging school. The programme was intro- duced by Rev. J.A. Ramjit, the former minister now living in Canton and at the conclu- sion of Friday night's per- formance, there was a plea- sant surprise when Dr. Mac Freeman of Kingston cameto the front to congratulate his former people on their per- formance and pay a moving tribute to the late Mr. Gordon Kellog who was the first president of the AOTS. He played "Praise God from whom all Blessings flow" on the cornet with the people singing with him.
