Council. Finishes -13usiness (Centinued from 'Page, One) ported a balance of $881. for the. property committee. Short Caused False Alarms Coun. Caryl Draper reported as chairman of the fire and water committee that there was a hal- once of $168;98. He reported that the short which caused the false alarms given recently by the new fire siren, was caused by contact between hydro and telephone lines somewhere between the County Home and RCAF Station, Clinton, when winds of certain direction and force were prevalent. Nothing final -in the sale of the old siren had been' accomplished. Finance Committee Finance chairman M, J, Agnew, reported that the total of 1952 taxes collected was $92,654, being 95.7 per cent of the total tax levy which was $96,820. Total arrears, taxes collected was $4,31.3.41, while penalties collected were $229.51. The percentage of 1951 tax levy collected was 95.2 per cent, he said. The total 1952 taxes, still not collected is $4,166. The 1951 assessment for the 1952 levy is $1,742,622. Additions to the assessment were caused by the annexation of a portion of Hullett Township ($6,550), as well as additions under the tax assess- ment act ($12,285), Coun. Agnew predicted a mill rate increase of at least ten mills for the town ratepayers, largely due to the town's new $310,000 public school. Retiring Mayor G. W. Nott, in his farewell remarks thanked the Council for their support, and Chief of Police for his good work. "There are too many street-corner lawyers and not enough ratepay- ers interested in the town. It is a disgrace. If we set up three chairs, one is occupied by Rev. D. J. Lane, one by Chief .of Police J: Ferrand, and the other one is empty." The entire council in voicing its opinion felt that it is the taxpay- ers' business to get out to attend meetings, and find out what is go- ing on in the town. The retiring clerk-treasurer, M. T. Carless, has -stated that he will endeavour to encourage local groups such as the Chamber of Commerce, to appoint represent- atives to attend the meetings of council. Coun. Dudley Pegg spoke con- cerning the growth of the town in the last three years. "This growth has lead' to problems, and these ever-growing problems will get harder as time goes on. It is up to the council members to grapple with these and with the good of the community at heart they must try to make the best decisions possible." Retiring Coun. Bert Gliddon also mentioned the "growing pains of Clinton." "I don't like to pay taxes any more than you do," Mr. Gliddon said. "But this town has growing pains. We should not hold the purse strings so tight that we I would hamper that growth." ' Mr. Glidden promised his sup, port and interest in the work of Council even though he would no longer be a member of it. Wreath for G/C Hutton Members of Council expressed their sorrow in the death of G/C E. A. D, Hutton, CD, Command- to hear a protest sponsored by the Clinton Colts hockey team against the. Milverton Deminions, met in Stratford yesterday, The members of this committee upon hearing the arguments of both the teams ea m SEMI-NOTE SIZE the Clinton team. The protest was based on the use, by Milverton, of a player without having secured permission from the OHA. to the governing body on Decem- ber 30, the day of the game, and that they had used the player in question because their team had received several injuries resulting in a shortage of players. Evidence produced proved that the documents were not mailed until December 31, the day after the game. Jack Roxborough, past-president of the OHA, presided, over the meeting and after the committee had reached its decision, addres- sed the representative from Mil- verton. He expressd his surprise at the actions of the management) of the Milverton Hockey club and. he added that the 01-IA would not tolerate actions of this nature. He pointed out that when the exec- utive ef the OHA had looked over the referees' report of the game they had discovered that Milver- ton did not have six bona-fide residents of that town in their lineup. He warned the Milverton reresentative that although _Clin- ton did not have this point In their protest , that they, or any other team, could protest this at any time. The result of this decision has moved Clinton to within four points of the league leading Mil- verton team. 0 MIDGET, BANTAM HOCKEY GROUPS ARE ANNOUNCED This season Clinton Lions minor hockey teams plan to play double- header games in the Lions Arena.

The number of factories in Can- ada increased from 24,800 in 1939 to 38,100 in 1952. Colts Have Fight Milverton must have beeh ast- onished by the complete reversal of form displayed by the Colts. It was an entirely different team that sped to the attack from the opening face-off. The local team showed a tremendous amount of fight and team spirit, something that had been sadly lacking in the two previous meetings between the two clubs. Come From Behind Milverton opened the scoring in each of the periods and the Colts were forced to come from behind on each occasion. In the first period the Domin- ions had a 3-1 lead at the ten min- ute' mark when the "blue-and- white" came to life to score three unanswered goals, one by Schoen- hals, a blazing thirty footer that Schmidt hasn't seen yet, and one each by Hanly and Counter. Again in the second Milverton forged ahead with counters by Flood and Gibson, only to have May and MeEwan match these in the closing minutes of the per- iod. Thrilling Third It seemed as though Milverton was going to end things quickly in the final frame,. Gibson tied the game at the 5:15 mark. A minu- te later Jack Westman put them one up with a neat goal which he followed up at 9:45, with his sec- ond goal of the period to give the visitors a two goal edge. This set the stage for Clinton's best rally in years. McEwan star- ted things off at 10:50 when he took Counter's pass at the red line, skated around the defence and whipped a low shot past Schmidt. Fiftpen seconds later May tied things up making no mistake as he fired one from close range af- ter Edgar and McEwan had work- ed the puck well into the Milver- ton zone. The Colts continued the pressure and it paid off as. May was the trigger man on a three way passing play, McEwan and Edgar getting assists. Milverton continued to battle and Ayers.tied the count a minute later only to t2,kave McEwan and Dolmage add two more to 'Clin- ton's total to give them the lead that they never relinquished, even though Milverton continually thr- eatened to the final bell. It would be impassible to single out any one player on the ice as an individual star because every man played exceptionally well. From a scoring standpoint, Mc- Ewan and May each accounted for three goals while Gibson with three tallies and Jack Westmart were the top marksmen for Mil- verton. ing Officer, RCAF $tatioxh. ton, and ordered that a letter sent to the bereaved family, ate. that a wreath be sent also.

Colts Hand Milverton First Defeat In Action Packed Game Hockey enthusiasm received a big shot in the arm last Saturday evening when the Clinton Colts handed the Milverton 'Dominions their first loss of the current cam- paign in a rousing exhibition of hockey at Lions Arena. A crowd of just over 600 fans witnessed the wide open contest that saw twenty-one goals scored. The. large score would indicate that the play was very loose but this was not the case. The game was wide open from the opening whistle with both teams checking hard and not sparing the body at every opportunity. Even though the game was inclined to be rough there were only five penalties handed out by refrees Muir and McLean.
