Sees Mother First Time in 22 Years By Record Correspondent NEW DUNDEE, July 7- "If you have one clock going in a room, you might as well have a dozen for they help to break the tick-tock," says Eldon Einwechter, a popular clock hobbyist of New York City who is renewing acquaintances in his old home community this week. It is Mr. Einwechter's first visit with his mother, Mrs. George Einwech-ter and his brothers, Earl, Harvey and Orville Einwechter in 22 years. Although he is employed in a large textile machinery plant where he assembles machines, Mr. Einwechter's main interest is in His clocks. He rises at 5 o'clock each morning in order to spend a iew hours before leaving for work, "in repairing the many clocks brought to his home. Started Shortly Before War Mr. Einwechter has been interested in tinkering with clocks since he was a boy but did not begin to make a business of repairing them until shortly before the Second World War. As his business grew, it was necessary for him to purchase clocks so he might have parts with which to make repairs. As a result, Mr. Einwechter now owns more than 200 clocks, some of which are for sale in antique shops. Some of his outstanding ones are a few Seth Thomas clocks which were first manufactured in 1811 and are said to be the oldest clocks in America. Another of his unusual clocks is a Paris pendulum alarm clock which is the only one of its kind he has ever seen. Assembled 8-Foot Clock Probably the most intricate clock he ever worked with was one owned by a Swiss business man of Sun Valley, Idaho, who purchased the parts in Europe and asked Mr. Einwechter to come to his house in New York to assemble it. The clock is eight feet tall with a hand-built pipe organ inside which plays automatically at noon midnight. Ten little musicians stand on top of the clock and pick up miniature instruments such as I flutes, oboe or trumpet while that | particular type of organ music is being played. Only two weeks ago Mr. Einwechter repaired a clock which had been sold at Woodstock, Ont, and was first repaired in 1869. Mr. Einwechter says that many clocks he has fixed are now ticking in Europe. They were sent in relief parcels by New Yorkers to their kin-folk because of the scarcity of clocks following the war. ¦¦1950 Receieves Present From Friend, 101, On 90th Birthday By Record Correspondent NEW DUNDEE, Jan. 11. — Mrs. Lydia Clemens, New Dundee's second oldest resident, observed quietly her 90th birthday Monday at her Mill St. home.
