Qlotumn===
,
WHILE BROWSING THROUGH
the county papers last week .we
discovered that in September,
1909. . . in the Town of Clin-
ton . . a horse dropped dead
in the street .. . Death was
caused by the sight of an auto-
mobile . This piece of advice
was reprinted by The Wingham
Advance Times from a resurrect-
ed copy of The Wroxeter Planet
. . . We wonder whose horse it
was . Now, 43 years later,
an automobile driver is apt to
be alarmed when he sees more
than one horse in a day , . . and
we intend 'no inference that
Clinton is a one-horse town,
either .
* * *
THE LISTOWEL BANNER
also mentions this same Clinton
horse . . Now which Clintonian
has the distinction of being a
descendant of the oW ler of this
notorious animal? . . Instead of
saying "Grandfather came over
on the Mayflower" . , . You, you
lucky Clintonian you, can easily
say "Grandad's old grey mare
died on Albert Street, Clinton" ..
• * * *
FROM OUR INDEFATIGABLE
Bayfield correspondent comes a
story of planned savings in the
canine world . . . "There is a
friendly bleat: cocker spaniel
about a year old called
"Butch," visiting Bayfield
who believes in the Savings
Plan . . .
* * *
"ONE DAY WHEN HIS OWNER
was spinning a twenty-five cent
piece on the floor . Butch
seized and swallowed the coin.. ,
A month later . . . after his
master had left the village and
the Canada Savings Bond drive
was commencing . `Butch"
`coughed up' the quarter . . .
* * *
"AND SPEAKING OF PEANUTS
growing in Clinton ... Bayfield
has at least two persons who
grew them this year . Mrs.
Jim Hutchings and Mrs. George
Heard . . . The latter harvested
a five -gallon pailful from about
75 plants . . ."
* ,k *
WITH .PRICES LOWER THAN
the sonsignors liked ... and a lit-
tle higher than the pessimistic
might have predicted ... 28 pure-
bred Shorthorns were sold at
auction in Stratford last Wednes-
day , . . 'William R. Pepper, Sea -
forth consigned a two-year-old
bred heifer purchased by W. J.
McDonald, R,R. 3, Woodstock, for
$350... W. J. Falconer paid $315
for a May yearling bull consigned
by William E. Parker and Sons
Mervyn Falconer and Son,
R.R, 3, Seaforth, paid $225 for a
senior heifer calf consigned by
David Douglas . .

Fire at Beattie's Store
Checked in Time
Fire of undetermined origin
broke out at the rear of Beattie's,
Furniture Store last Monday even-
ing. The blaze, which could have
been . much more serious• than it
was, was noticed by Murray
Draper who turned in the alarm.
Firemen arrived at the scene and
soon had the fire out. •
• The fire started outside the gar-
age of the store in some packing
cases that had been discarded
that everting. It ate • it's way
through the. doors of the garage
and up the walls inside, and had
it gone unobserved very long the
fire. -would have burned its way
into the front of the store and
caused considerable damage. Be-
sides the garage, doors, some raft-
ers and a few packing cases, a
new studio couch (which had just
been received) was demolished.
Clinton Fire Brigade

were carriedoZ,„ in'om the burn-
ing building by members of the

ing by the use of water.

Anniversary Services
Well Attended At
St. Andrew's Church
Successful Anniversary Services
were conducted in St. Andrew's
Presbyterian Church on Sunday
last by Rev. Matthew Bailie, M.A.,
Bluevale,
Special music at both services
added greatly to the hours of
worship. At the morning service
the full choir rendered the anthem
"Awake thou that Sleepest" and
Beverly Boyes, boy soprano, sang
"My Task," while at the evening
worship the anthem beautifully
interpreted was "The Earth is the
Lord's." Dan Walter sang "The
Holy City," in a most acceptable
manner, and a quartette of young
singers, Donald Hugill, John
Sharp,, Bev. Bayes and Mary Liv-
ermore in lovely harmony, sang
"Beside Still Waters."
A splendid congregation heard
Mr. Bailie deliver a fine discourse
at eleven o'clock on the import-
ance of possessing Christian c5h-
victians and having the strength
of character to stand fast to them
under all circumstances and temp-
tations. Only by maintaining the
standards set before them in the
Word of God, can men or women
hope to survive the subtle intrus-
ions of unchristian principles. Mr.
Bailie appealed to those present to
be strong and of good courage in
the exercise of the Christian vir-
tues.
At the evening service, the con-
gration was augmented by large
numbers from other churches, and
Mr. Bailie's theme was "The fact-
or of Decision in life's choices."
He cited some decisions, made by
well known historical characters,
pointing out how much such de-
cisions had meant to the world.
Rev. D. J. Lane, minister of St.
Andrew's was present for the ev-
ening service and conducted the
devotion. He thanked the minist-
ers and congregations which had
foregone their evening worship to
join in the anniversary of the
church, and commended those
who assisted in the service of
praise.
The anniversary was marked by
a splendid financial response by
the congregation in the Freewill
Offering for the day.

NEIGHBORS PLOW
60 ACRES FOR
INJURED FARMER
Neighbours and friends of
Logan Cleave, Bronson Line,
Stanley Township, gathered
yesterday, October 29, with
their tractors in a giant
plowing bee staged to get lVfr.
Cleave's fall plowing done
before winter sets in,
Logan Cleave was injured
critically in a motor accident
on the Bronson Line en. Fri-
day, October 24, when he suf-
fered. a fractured neck, and is
at present in Victoria Hospi-
tal, London, '
About 30 men with their
tractors made short work of

County Federation
HearsC.McTaggart
Discuss Price Drop
At Cardno's Hall, Seaforth, last
night, more than 350 people—from
all sections of Huron County --at-
tended the banquet of Huron
County Federation of Agriculture.
Following the delicious repast,
Cameron McTaggart, Glencoe, a
past• president of Middlesex
County Federation, a past presi-
dent of the Middlesex Crop Im-
provement Association, a former
chairman of Cash Crops Day and
a member of the Sugar Beet
Growers' Marketing Board, was
guest speaker and addressed the
large representative gathering.
Mr. McTaggart reminded the
audience of the many problems
which farmers of today have to
face. Prices were declining rather
at • too great a speed lately, he
stated and he added, that those
who find •joy in lowered cost of
living, are often unaware that it
affects the producers' prices.
"Sugar beets," he said, "had de-
clined $3 a ton and that fact
meant that in the district the
farmers will lose $250,000 and
that amount in turn will be with-
drawn from circulation compared
with the former price level. The
beet industry will also be disturb-
ed thereby." If the disturbance,
he declared, were great enough, it
might result in a change of crop-
ping .to some other product, now
sufficient for the market, and
would give a surplus to such a
crop, And "glut the market" in it

words were of thanks to the citi-
zens who had helped to make the
new school building a reality, G.
H. Jefferson echoed Mr, Gardin-
er's remarks concerning the need
of larger and more modern fa-
cilities for theincreasing number
of school age children. He stated
that eleven teachers are at pres-
ent members of the Clinton Pub-
lic School staff. Of these, one
teaches kindergarten in the base-
ment of Ontario Street United
Church, accommodating 70 to 75
Children in two shifts; another.
tenches her class in the basement
of St. Andrew's Presbyterian
Church; while still another
teaches in the Parish Hall of St.
Paul's Church of England.
"There are 451 pupils on the
school roll at present, It is ex-
petted that 35 of these will pro-
ceed into high school next fell.
Thiswill leave a total of 416 -
If the same number of pupils are
admitted to Grade One as were
added in 1952, the 80 pupils will
swell the school roll to • a total of
496, which is almost 100 more
children than the new school will
accommodate. In all probability„
the old school at the corner of
Ontario and William Streets will
still be used in 1953," Mr. Jeffer-
son reports.

News -Record, The London Free
Press, The Stratford Beacon -Her-
ald, (the latter two carrying ac-
counts of the cornerstone cere-
mony) and The Globe and Mall;•
samples of coins and stamps of

box inside the stone in the inter-
ests of those who many years
from now may have reason to
open the box,
"The Cornerstone of this Public
School building was laid to -day,
October 25, 1952, at 2.30 in the
afternoon of a brilliant autumn:
day, by the Chairman of the Clin-

"The early records of the old
school at the corner of Ontario
Street and William Street were.
destroyed in the earlier years by
fire, but there is still in existence
the register of attendance of the
year 1861. The earliest minute
book of the Public School Board
now available dates from 1902.
"In 1950 school attendance in-
creased in Clinton to such an ex-
tent that classrooms were opened
in the basements of three chur-
ches in town to take care of the
overflow, and it was decided by
the Board that new accommoda-•
tion would have to be provided..
Towards this end, in November
1950, a school site of sevenacres
was purchased by the Board from.
the farm of Mrs. Robert McKen-
zie, in the Township of Hullett,
for the sum of Three Thousand,
Two Hundred Dollars. The firm
of Barnett and Rieder of Kitchen-
er was chosen to draw up plans:
for a new school building. On:
their acceptance, tenders were
called for the construction, and.
the contract awarded to Ball Bro-
thers, Contract Builders, of Kit-
chener.
"At the. time this cornerstone
was laid the cost of the building
was contracted for at a price of
$286,822.00. The building cbm-•
mittee in charge of the building
consisted of the following; Royce
Macaulay, chairman; Leslie Ball,.
Lorne Brown, George Lavis.
