Ald. M. J. Agnew, chairman of

by Clinton ,Pnblic Utilities Com-

"This information was acknow-

Public Utilities Commission.
Councillor Agnew is greatly
pleased to know that the Public

hopes that no member of the

become annoyed by this 'clumsy
question'."

••••••••••••••Mma,
WHILE BOUNCING MORE OR
less merrily along the highway
from Clinton to Goderich the
other day, it was brought forcibly
to memory that according to early
files of The NEWS-RECORD, just
40 years ago, decision was made
by the* Ontario Department of
Highways concerning surfacing
Highway 4, with permanent
pavement *
.
OUR FOREFATHERS PERHAPS
were correct in assuming that the
pavement they planned to lay
would last forever , . . But now,
40 years later, should we continue
to assume that this highway is
permanent? .. . Huge gobs of
this permanent pavement have
disappeared entirely, add work-
men are fighting a losing battle,
when in the middle of winter
they go out with a truck, a quan-
tity of hot black mending mater-
ial, and some. shovels, to fill the
holes left in this permanent
paVement . . . * *
C'OMMUTERS BETWEEN
Brucefield, Clinton and Goderich
are becoming increasingly aware
ofethese.missing .pieces of perm-
anent pavement . . . One of them
recently was heard to state that
he was no longer afraid of dying,
because he would surely go to
heaven . . . His reason: Driving
on that highway would shake hell
out of anybody . . * *
FORTUNATELY, WE UNDER-
stand. the Department of High-
ways plans to re-surface both
Highways 4 and 8 from, Clinton
to Goderich, Kippen, and Sea-
forth in the spring . . . Many
motorists would comment that "it
can't come too soon" . . * * *

little difficulty in filling the va-
cant job . . . And so the story
is repeated time and again! . . .

Last evening before over 1,400
fans in Goderich Memorial Arena,
Centralia RCAF Flyers shutout
Clinton 'Colts 7-0 to tie the semi-
final OHA Intermediate "B"
hockey series at three games and
one tie each.
The Colts won the first three
games and tied the third. The
Flyers have taken the last three
games — 5-4 last Friday night,
13-3 Monday night and 7-0 last
night — all played in Goderich
arena.
The eighth game — a sudden-
death affair—is scheduled for
Clinton Lions Arena Saturday
evening at nine o'clock, Clinton
having won the toss far choice
of ice. The winner will meet
Milverton for the group title and
the right to advance into the OHA
playdowns. Milverton defeated
New Hamburg four games to
three in a best-of-seven series.
In last night's game the injury-
riddled Colts took another blow
when Doug Bartliff left the ice
after ten minutes of play in the
first period with a badly-bruised
leg after being boarded heavily.
Bill Hanly, Bill Counter and
Danny Colquhoun played last
night under great difficulties, all
having been injured in previous
games with Centralia. Bob Drap-
er has not been in the line-up for
the last four games.
Freebairn, in the RCAF net,
was the big 'factor in the Flyers'
win last night. He stopped num-
erous dangerous rushes by Colts.
Tideswell, in the Clinton net, was
equally as good despite the seven
that got by him. Randy Ellis, the
shifty centreman for Flyers' again
was their big scorer, with three.
A Rough One!
Friday night's game was the
roughest in the series, 19 penal-
ties being handed out. Centralia
players spent 28 minutes in the
penalty box while Colt players
lost 20 minutes in penalties.
Mait Edgar notched three goals
in this game; Vezina getting the
same for Flyers.
Swamped 13-3 Monday night
Five goals by Randy Ellis and
four by Franklin proved too
much for Colts in Monday night's
match, Bill Marshall scored two
for Colts and Ron Carter one.

It's certainly tough to be born
on a Leap Year Day, for those
who first saw the light of day
on February 29 in any Leap
Year, possess a formal birthday
only once every four years.
The NEWS-RECORD extends
hearty congratulations to those
who celebrate their birthday to-
morrow, February 29, but also
expresses regret that they do not
haVe the same opportunities as
other mortals in other years.
A brief appeal was published
in 'last week's issue to ascertain
the "Leap Year babies" residing
in this district, or who formerly
resided in this district.
Congratulations!

Mrs. Harriett Burgess, 30 Earls-
court Ave., Toronto, will cele-
brate her 24th leap year birthday

to 96 years of age. She is by
far the oldest of which The

Mrs. Burgess still is quite
active for her years. She was a
great knitter during the last war
and her fingers are never idle.
She still knits and crochets many
bedspreads and table covers. She
enjoys her daily paper; her eye-
sight is quite good and she en-
joys wonderful- health and also,
likes company.
The NEWS-RECORD wishes
for her another birthday, which
would make a full century of a
beautiful, well-spent life.

If the reader were one of the
fine audience that attended the
Illustrated lecture on Switzer-
land given by Anton Lendi in the
Ontario Street United Church on
Tuesday evening, February 26,
under the auspices of the Choir,
he will long remember the
"camera visit" to the land of
snowy peaks, rich valleys, and
placid, deep blue lakes,
Mr. Lendi's lecture was entitl-
ed "Switzerland, a Plan.' for
Democracy" and he gave a vivid
and intimate picture of the life
and history of his homeland. The
coloured slides and movies which
Mr. Lendi used to illustrate his
words gave glimpses of Switzer-
land's scenery, its people and its
sports.
Rev. A. G. Eagle acted as
chairman, introducing M. Lendi
to his audience and announcing
the two musical numbers given
by members of the choir, namely
a trio "Bless This- House" sung
by Miss Elva Wiltse, Miss Bar-
ham Churchill, apd, Mks, Willis
VanEgmond; and-tan• organ and
piano duet played by Mrs. E.
Wendorf and Miss Elva Wiltse.
The first school juvenile court
was held at the Clinton Public
School Friday afternoon with the
permission of Principal George
H. Jefferson, under the guidance
of the town's Chief of Police,
Joseph Ferrand, The court will
be a weekly event, when nine
safety patrols, all pupils of the
school, will hold session to con-
vict or acquit pupils who have
violated safety rules.
As the amount of traffic
through the town is increasing
daily, the safety patrols were
chosen by the chief to guide pup-
ils across the busy intersections
of two highways both going and
coming from school. The boys
are headed by a captain, Eugene
(Butch) McLaren, whose duty is
to see that all boys are correctly
dressed in white rubber capes
and white belts,

He said that care in selections
should be• made in this connec-

sented information concerning
the many new varieties of orn-
amental shrubs that could be
used. A wide range of junipers
including hill's dundee, and
Swedish juniper in upright types,
and golden tip and compacta in
the spreading junipers could be
effective, both of which must be
trimmed •to suitable heights to
complement the house concerned.
Suitable and lovely hedges can
be made of either red or green
leaf , barberry, forsythia, bush
honeysuckle, and both orange
and Korean box are worthy of a
place.

Stanley Township
Feted Ere Departure
The roads were good for the
social evening held in Baird's
School house, sponsored by Stan-
ley Ladies' Community Club,
and everyone who wished was
able to get there and get home
again. During the day of the
social evening planned for short-
ly after Christmas, falling snow
made It evident that before the
party was over, roads would be
impassible for cars. With the
understanding that the snowplows
would plow the roads of the vic-
inity during the evening, many
of the neighbourhood turned out,
and euchre and dancing were
enjoyed fully.
Then the folk settled down to
wait for the plows which had
not yet put in an appearance.
They waited, and they waited,
and then they waited some more,
for the roads had drifted entirely
too much for cars to make a
start. Finally, at seven in the
morning, several of the men
went home to get their teams
with sleighs, and moved those
sleepy people home to start an-
other day's work.,
Yes, the plow came through
that morning, and car travel was
resumed until the next storm.
At the recent social evening
euchre was played, and prize
winners were: ladies' high, Mrs.
Arthur Wiltse; ladies' consolation,
Helen Anderson; gents' high, Al-
ton Johnston; gents' consolation,
Bert Murphy.
After a bounteous Ranch served
by the social committee, Mr. and
Mrs. next Murphy were called to
the front and were presented
with a table lamp. Ed. C. Glenn
gave a short presentation speech,
and George Cantelon presented
the gift. Mr. and Mrs, Murphy
replied suitably. The occasion
was their recent move from the
community to Clinton.
A basket of groceries was won
by Frank McGregor, The real
off, the evening was spent in
dancing.
