Qne of the councillors remarked to us that there had not been as many persons attending council meeting since the tenure of Ken Waters as mayor. Certainly there have been some quite serious problems before the members of council, and it bodes well for the town when as much interest is in evidence as was shown on Monday evening. We are also in favour of the council's apparent intent to transact as much business as possible in open meeting. It is not good for the business of a town when Council mem- bers feel it necessary to meet in committee to form opinions and set up plans which are later slightly re-hashed in open meeting and put into effect from there. There have been occasions in' °thee.; towns, CLINTON IS TO HAVE a 12-room public school. The addition of two more rooms was voted for at the special meeting of council called on. Monday evening. These rooms will help to accommodate an extra 114 pupils which have enrolled since original plans were made in early 1952 to build a ten-room school. Just how long this addition will stave off a shortage in accommodation is not known. There is quite a good possibility that more classroom space will be needed within the next few years. Quite probably this alarming rate of growth will level off, nevertheless, in a certain number of years and Clinton can, once again be sure of a reasonable stability in population figures. This should mean something to us, how- ever. With this growth in population, Clinton Townsmen Show Healthy Interest Progress Is Not Inevitable and possibly it has happened here, when in the main, busihess has been discussed in com- mittee, This is bound to lead to dissatisfac- tion when some matter comes up and is acted upon before sufficient knowledge of the mat- ter is available to the people. It was a good meeting Monday night. The council chamber was packed. We counted well over fifty persons, and there were men at the back of the room for whom there were no chairs. The business of the evening was conducted in geed parliamentary fashion, and those present will agree that a great deal of important work was done. We would like to commend Clinton's 1953 Council for the able manner in which they have commenced the year's business, and wish them good luck in their future work. We may not always agree with what Council does, but little can be said against the manner in which their work is conducted. will become more prosperous. At the same time, to be able to go along with this wave of prosperity, we must be willing to take the steps necessary to keep the tome progressing. If, as has been suggested, this population growth is due even in part to the construction being done at RCAF Station, Clinton, would it not be a wise plan for a town planning board of some sort to make definite plans toward encouraging industry in our town? Already we are better off in this respect than some of our neighboring municipalities, but if we are to progress, new industry must nesses. Opportunity must be made for more neses. Opportunity must be made for more workers to find permanent jobs here. Oppor- tunity must be made for new industry to locate here. Legion Memorial Hall (Continued from Page One) in one night, Then cane the slow and heavy work of laying the, more than 3,000 ten inch cement blocks that comprise the Main portion of the wall.- The Legion got a good boost one night from a gang of block-layers who were engaged in work at the new public school and out at the RCAF Station. The refit of the blocks were laid by the local members themselves with some assistance he Legion Mem, bers from' Goderich and Exeter, Many of the local fellows who did the work never even lifted a cem- ent 'block before, let alone try to build a wall with them. Many were the sore arms and stiff backs, but they had to get the walls up and the roof on before the bad weather set in. Then on Saturday afternoon, October 25, several members gath- ered at the Hall and put up the 41 roof trusses that form the main support of the roof. Two days later, on October 27, a meeting was called and the entire roof was covered with sheathing before el- even o'clock at eight, November 1.1 of. last year saw the laying of the cornerstone for this new memorial Hall by Clin- ton Legion's oldest and certainly its most devoted member, Comrade Dr. J. W. Shaw. This stone was very generously donated by T. Pryde and Son of Exeter. A bon- ded roof guaranteed for 15 years was put on soon after, and the work moved indoors. Windows were put in, the furnace set up, and the building made as snug as possible so we could work in it this winter. At the present time the heating ducts are being installed as .well as the wiring. The walls and ceil- ing of the upper floor are being covered with gyproc lath, and it is hoped , that the plastering will be done in the very near future. Now this sounds, like a big job, It really is, especially when you consider that it has been done en- tirely by volunteeer labour. The Legion and the Ladies Auxiliary have put between $16,000.00 and $17,000.00 into this building so far. And we are not near through yet. We made it a policy right from the start to pay for everything as we went along, and if it is V all with- in our means we shall continue to do so. Our funds are naturally running low, but we have several times been rewarded with financial help from various sources. This Hall when completed will consist of a large auditorium with check room facilities, stage and dressing rooms, as well as wash- rooms on the' main floor. The basement will house a meeting hall, games rooms, and fully mod- ern kitchen capable of catering to dances, weddings, Eec. Despite this terrific drain on our resources, the Clinton Legion will continue to sponsor welfare work and all community projects that are for the benefit of the public. PETER Dag-nab it! They've swept the floor out here in the back shop again and just when we had a few well worn tracks worn through the litter of paper, too. Seems like a mouse can't depend on anything these days. Now that one corner in the North-west wing, we were sure would re- main untouched for another six months. But no. We were just back from getting a breath of the spring weather of last week, when we noticed every scrap of paper gone. Now I ask you. How can a mouse be expected to get about? 0 0 Bobbie Burns, that mouse's friend, had a great gift of see- ing things as they were—and when he spoke of that mouse in his field as a "Wee, sleekit, cow'rin', tim'rous beastie", he certainly hit the truth right on the head. And certainly, "a panic's in my breastie!" when I try scooting over these bare floors. The Sahara has nothing on our Back Shop,. at all, at all. 0 They say that newspaper offices CHIROPRACTIC D.

The work that comes from them is neatly done, wrap- ped and labelled. But the looks of the place where the work is done, seems of necessity to resem- ble a debutante's boudoir after she has rushed out for an evening's date, Sure and the Men always have the good reason that they have no time, but must needs proceed to the work at hand. This mouse agrees wholeheartedly. While they're busy at the work at hand, the debris piles up at foot, and our whole family, their friends and relatives and their families have a glorious time. PLEAS FOR HELP INCREASE Every day an increasing number of letters pour into the offices of the Canadian Foundation for Pol- iomyelitis from people asking for help — and getting it.

There was no lack of out- lets there. There were beer par- lors and liquor stores. There were also bootleggers. Evidence of drinking and drunkenness were a common sight. For three years he has been in Goderich and his verdict is that the people of Huron do not realize how fortunate they are under the Canada Temperance Act. Hardly ever does he see evi- dences of drinking or drunkenness. He is convinced that increase of outlets under the Ontario Liquor Control Act means increase of drinking both by adults and min- ors and increase of trouble. More- over it is not because the people of Huron are ignorant that they want the Canada Temperance Act maintained — and the Globe and Mail carried that slur — but be- cause they are not so gullible as to swallow such irresponsible propa- ganda, This advertisement is inserted by the Huron County Temperance Federation. 4-b OPTOMETRY A.

Editor, Clinton News-Record DEAR SIRS: Your request for letters to the editor has set my whiskers all aquiver! Knowing well that mice always must be cautious, or be caught --and though longing to take my pen and scratch my tale to you, I would always paws and squeak "Gnaw! 'tis safer to be still." And then I'd nibble yet another colonel from the ranks upon my cob, and keep the piece L or supper). But now, enticed by your re- quest, and throwing caution to the breeze, my tail I'll tell. It is of Peter that I wish to speak: When first his tale appeared upon your Record, With merry feet, he tripped about the place; In eagerness I'd scan the Peter story— And chuckle as he roamed your office space, But now, when I receive your publication, And read the column whence his tail unfolds, My zeal, alas, is hot the least rewarded— For Peter isn't merry, as of old, The Record mouse is toil-worn and foot-weary. Though faithfully he writes un- to the end, Hes Peter suffered front the "chief' 8-convention"? Or laboured long until his strength is spent? Or has he gone, at last, on his vacation And left another rodent in his stead?, Take heart friend Pete, Resume your frisky waye And scemper up arid down the page, As first you did in by-gone days. —PATTER By JOE DENNE1T 40 YEARS A(') The Clinton News Record Thursday, January 30, 1913 Peter Cantelon was appointed County Auditor at the opening ses- sion of the County Council on Tuesday.
