At eight o'clock it is. planned that arrange- ments will be made to form a Clinton band, made up of Clinton citizens, to make mu- sic for the enjoyment of Clin- ton, citizens, and others. Twenty-five years ago Clinton Citizens' Band was a going concern. It was in demand everywhere for ent- ertainments of all kinds.

Livermore, president, in charge. The club house is built across the railway tracks at the west end of town.

This should make an attrac- tive addition to hitherto rather neglected area of the town, The club arranged for an all- member bee for Wednesday and Saturday of this week when all free laborers will be welcome to assist in the project, under the direction of capable leadership. Arrangements were made for the installation of lights., under the direction of E. W, Colcquhoun. A committee consisting of C. J, Livermore, T. Twyford and Eric Switzer was appointed to arrange for a fowl supper, sometime in November, Rev, D. J, Lane for two years supervisor of the Junior Club, re- signed, owing to lack of time to do the work as he felt it could be carried out.

MATERIAL ARRIVES FOR LIONS ARENA ARTIFICIAL ICE Clinton.

Club members expect that the work will be completed by the end of Nov- ember. Late in August a contract was signed for the work. Early last spring a drive opened to raise $30,000 to cover the cost of the work. Regular bingos., a door-to-door canvas, donations by each member, and grants from town and several surrounding townships, as well as aid from the nearby RCAF Station have swell- ed the fund to more than. $18,000. Many former residents of Clinton have contributed to the campaign, Increase Capacity At Hydro Station In Clinton Area "To improve electric service to' Ontario Hydro rural customers in Clinton area, the capacity of the Clinton Distributing Station has been increased by about 80 per cent," Hydro Chairman Robert H. Saunders announced. This change was facilitated by the fact that equipment installed in 1947 was designed for increased capacity upon conversion to 60-cy- cle operation. It will make ap- proximately an additional 1,000 horsepower available to the dist- rict. This will be especially val- uable during the July peak period, when demand for power in the' dis- trict is at its height. "Clinton rural customers have shown a steady increase in de- mend for Hydro power over a number of years," said Mr. Saund- ers, "and this improvement merely demonstrates again. Hydro's con- stant policy of maintaining ade- quate service to all Hydro custom- er.s 0 RECENT WINNERS AT LIONS CLUB LARGEST BINGO Clinton Lions Club Tuesday, October 1, staged another in a series of monster bingoes in an all- out effort to raise money to in- stall artificial ice in its present arena.
