ALTHOU an .THE YOUNG
spring season is a week old to-
day, Old Man Winter seems to
have re-appeared in our midst
during the past few days „
:Why the last kick of winter in
the glorious springtime — or at
least when it should be spring-
time? .. At any rate, the days
aro getting longer and the nights
shorter, so summer must be ap-
proaching, although current wea-
ther does not faintly resemble it
. . . There was quite a heavy
snowfall during Tuesday night
and early yesterday morning . .
ALTHORGH THE FIRST PER-
son to report seeing a robin was
Tom Leppington, Clinton, he was
not the first person to see a robin
this year, so it would seem . *
• MRS. J. E, HOWARD, BAY-
field, has a hobby of bird watch-
ing . . . She keeps food out all
winter for the winter birds . •
and keeps lists of those she sees
together with dates . *
MRS, HOWARD REPORTS
seeing four robins on March 12
She heard killdeer on March
.13 but she figures they had been
around at least two weeks be-
cause of their call , Apparently
the killdeer plover calls "peenk,
peenk" for a while, and then
after he gets over being lone-
some
'
and becomes orientated to
the Ontario climate again, he
reverts to the well-known "kill-
deer, kill-deer" call . . .
MRS. HOWARD SAW HER FIRST
Bluebird on March .19, and two
days later three wild doves flew
over her home. . Her records
from last showyear that the
cardinals sang two weeks earlier
than they did in the spring of
1951, and she also noted that the
crows—those rowdy fellows who
are teetering about on fall-plow--
ed fields these days—arrived two
weeks earlier than last year, too ..
NOT CONFINING HER OBSER-
vations entirely to birds, Mrs.
Howard drew our attention to the
wonder and beauty of the lake-
shore during the winter, and
especially at this season . . , The
snowy ice banks formed at the
water's edge have been perfect
for sledding this winter . . * *
NOW THAT THE ICE BEYOND
them is melted, Lake Huron is
rippled and dappled, and blue as
on a summer's day . . . The ice

to caves, exciting hollows and
curves, which make a walk
through them just like being in
fairyland . .

The executive of Clinton and
District Chamber of Commerce,
meeting in the Town Council
Committee Room yesterday after-
noon, discussed the matter of
transient traders operating illeg-
ally in Clinton and adopted the
following resolution:
"That the Town Council be
supported in its efforts to reg-
ulate the licensing of hawkers
and peddlers in the Town of
Clinton; and that the licence fee
be increased substantially so that
it might act as a more effective
deterrent than at present,"
It was pointed out that the
present town bylaw requires a
mere $2 licence fee, whereas
other towns and cities charge
considerably more. For example,
the bylaw in effect in Brampton
requires $75 from residents and
$100 from non-residents. The
penalty is a fine of $50.
Ald. L. G. Winter, a member
of the executive, stated that Town
Council had the matter of revis-
ing the peddlers' bylaw under
advisement at the present time,
•and might welcome the moral
support of the members of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Local police investigated a Play "Calm Yourself", by Cav-

Lions Hear Fine Speach
On "Blind Landing"
By WO/ Jones
How the man on the ground
actually lands the aircraft through
tee agency of "ground controlled
approach", was outlined by W/02
Sidney C. Jones, -technical war-
rant officer at RCAF Station, in
an illuminating address to the
members of Clinton Lions Club
at their dinner meeting in St.
Paul's Parish Hall Tuesday even»
ing.
• In shorter terms, W/O Jones
referred to this radar method as
"blind landing." He was intro-
duced by W. C. Newcombe, and
was thanked in behalf of the Club
by John R. Gilbank,
The speaker stated that the
electronics industry had devised
the "instrument' landing system",
the "beam" usually being three
degrees military and two-and-a-
half degrees-civilian.
"In GCA, we see, not hear,"
he said. "The system permits you
to see an aircraft within a radius
of 30 miles' from your airport.
The controllers—who give the
instructions for landing n- are
picked men, who know their jobs
and ooze confidence to the pilot
while landing."
W/O Jones commented that the
Berlin Airlift had been a great
success from the point of view
of the democracies, and the credit
actually was due to ground-con-
trolled approach, for the success-
ful completioie of the project.
President Lame Brown was in
the chair, and various committee
reports were given,
Frank Fingland, QC, said that
no reply had been received as yet
on the new arena proposition,
and they were trying to get
plans from Toronto that might
act as a guide.
J. H. Brunsdon reported that
Lions Arena had been closed, but
some ice still was there.
Dr. R. M. Aldis stated that
mass x-rays survey would be
held May 19 for tuberculosis,
W. B. McAlpine stated that ar-
rangements were completed for
Farmers' Night, April 25, when
Rt. Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Federal
Minister of Agriculture, would be
the main speaker. Tickets were
issued to members to sell to
farmers of the district.
Dr. 3. A, Addison reported for
the Easter Seat Campaign.
X. B. McRae stated that Huron
County Crippled Children's 'Sur-
vey was being held; applications
must be in by April 9 and the

replied the annual cost of Sun-
day train service would work
out at $9,087, and would require
$190 revenue a trip.
"Even with the RCAF business,
we are of the opinion that the
additional service would not earn
enough money to meet expenses,
