Colts Take Over Third Place
Defeat Mitchell Twice
Colts 10, Mitchell 7
Clinton Colts made it two in a
row Over the Mitchell Legion-
aires on Saturday evening when
they roared from behind in the
third period to take a 30-7 decis-
ion. It was a very important Vict-
ory for the Colts as these two
teams have been fighting it out
for a playoff position and with
this win plus the 'victory on
Thursday the Colts now have a
four point edge and their playoff
hopes are much brighter,
Several Injuries
The only thing to mar the
game was the injuries received
by three players. AI May of the
Colts suffered a cracked rib when
he collided with Bill Hanly in
an attempt to check an incoming
forward. Simultaneously Bill
Gatenby, star right wingman for
the Legionaires crashed into the
end boards and was knocked out.
He had to be carried from the
ice and was some time before
he regained his senses. Bill was
Put under observation at Strat-
ford General Hospital for the
night but suffered no ill effects.
Mid-way through the third
period Jim Loader Mitchell's
playing coach was checked heav-
ily along the boards and injured
his back forcing him to retire.
The game was very fast through-
out. Mitchell had a definite edge
for the first two periods and
looked as if they would be able
to coast to an easy win. In the
final period the Colts stormed to
the attack and within eight min-
utes had tied the score. Bill
Hardy scored what proved to be
the winning goal at the 9.25 point
and Counter and Hardy added
two more before the period end-
ed to put the game in the bag.
One highlight Of the game was
the play of Billy Hardy. He scar-
ed three goals and assisted in one
more to lead the Colts in this
department. Bill Counter was
moved to centre between Dol-
mage and Hardy after May was
injured and gave them an extra
spark and they scored four goals
in the third period.

Colts 8, Mitchell 4
Clinton Colts moved into undis-
puted possession of third place on
Thursday evening as the result of
their 8.4 victory over the Mitchell
Legionaires.
The game was very cleanly play-
ed with only four minor penalties
being handed out, two to each
team. Both teams skated very
fast and the rival goal tenders
were called upon to make some
brilliant saves, Nediger in the
Clinton cage was exceptionally
effective in the early stages of the
game as he kicked out hard shots
from Loader, Weber and Gatenby
when they were right in on top of
him.
MeEwan led the Colt attack
picking up fief? points with four
goals and an assist. Loader was
the most effective Mitchell player
even though he was held off the
score sheet.
Bartliff on the Colts defence
played his most effective game of
the season. He stopped many
Mitchell rushes and was throwing
body checks that slowed down in-
coming forwards considerably, He
also counted one goal with a neat
twenty-five foot shot that beat
Harfeld completely,
An unfortunate accident happen-
ed in the third period when Mc-
Ewan and Harfeld collided after
McEwan had Viored the tie break-
ing goal. As Harfeld attempted
to save he slid out and "Cooney"
sailed over the prostrate Mitchell
goal tender's head, Harfeld was
knocked insensible and had to be
assisted from the ice. Chessel re-
placed the injured player and
finished the game,

Police Chief Ferrand
Tenders Resignation
(Continued on Page Ten)
perience that when all members
of the Council were on the police
commission the situation was not
good. At times he, Mr. Trewartha,
had had occation to be witness in
court at Goderich, He had heard
there: "You have -the best police
force in Clinton that you've ever
had. The Chief rarely loses a case,
and he doesn't come up here on a
wild goose chase. Yoh have a good
town and this is largely due to
the work of the police chief," Mr.
Trewartha suggested a committee
of not more than three for a police
commission,
Coun. Agnew suggested that the
Chief be asked to reconsider his
decision. Coun. Pegg stated, "Chief
Ferrand has had 25 years of police
experience gained in the Old Coun-
try, and you can't buy that kind
of experience." Reeve Nediger sug-
gested setting up a police commiss-
ion of three, and this might per-
suade the Chief to reconsider. The
matter was left over until the foll-
owing day.
At the special meeting called for
Tuesday afternoon, Coun. Pegg
asked the Chief if setting up the
three man committee would not
influence him. Chief Ferrand said
no, but that the commission would
be an improvement on the set-up.
The Chief expressed his intent to
continue with his work in Boy
Scouts and with the St. John's
Ambulance Corps, and offered to
be of any assistance when needed.
The motion that Council accept
with regret the resignation of the
Chief was carried.

Ownership of Old Fire
Equipment Disputed
(continued from Page One)
pumper to his property, the old
machine has remained till the
present in the tower at the rear
of the town hall.
In August, 1952, Mr. Gibbings
visited the museum at Goderich,
and noting no .old fire equipment
there, mentioned the pumper to
the curator, and made arrange-
ments to have it entered in the
Museum on loan. The plan was
that at any time that Clinton
should establish a museum it
should have the old pumper, and
if Clinton's Fire Department
should want it for special occas-
ions, the pumper would be avail-
able.
Mr. Gibbings mentioned his plan
late in October to Alex Cedmore
(who was fire chief at the time
the machine was loaned to the de-
partment), and for the first time
asked that the machine be re-
turned.
At the November council meet-
ing the suggestion was made that
Clinton place their• old fire pump-
er in the museum at Goderich.
Mr. Gibbings heard the news re-
leases concerning it and spoke to
Councillor Draper (who was Sec-
retary of the Clinton Fire Depart-
ment at the time the pumper was
taken from Mr. Gibbings" prop-
erty) who suggested that he would
attend the next meeting of the
fire department and arrange for
the release of the pumper to Mr.
Gibbings. However, Mr, Draper
did not attend the meeting as
proposed.
The question of ownership came
up at the December council meet-
ing and was put in the hands of
, the town solicitor for investiga-
tion.
On the invitation of the then
mayor, G. W. Nett, Mr. Gibbings
attended the January 5 council
meeting when discussion took
place in committee concerning the
pumper. At that time council in-
structed Coun. Draper to instruct
the fire department to release the

not unanimously) "that the Coen.

Lions Club Offers
Arena To Town
(Continued from Page One)
Agnew: Not criticising the busi-
ness methods of the Lions Club,
but there was something strange
about them canvassing on the er-
ronious belief that the donations
would be deductible.
Coun. Stanley: What difference
would $100 donation make anyway
upon the income taxes of anyone
who contributed?
Mayor Miller: Is this meeting
willing to turn this over to the
recreation committee for consid-
eration? I don't believe we are/
going to get anywhere to-night.
Lion Dr. Aldis: The whole Lions
Club and all of the community
feel that it would be good to have
the thing settled as soon as pos-
sible. He asked if a committee of
the council could meet with the
Club at an early date.
Lion F. Fingland: Mentioned
work done by members of Lions
Club in raising over $22,000 of the
required $30,000 by canvassing,
etc., "All we request is that the
town accept the arena and put us
in a position to get $5,000, which
will be hard to get any other way.
This is a small request. At the
same time we would clear up this
income tax business, in which we
have pledged our word."
Crich: Suggested that the Gen-
eral Government Committee con-
fer with the Lions ,and thrash the
thing out. (Members of this com-
mittee: Stanley, Pegg, Agnew),
Agnew: Is this a free hand? Is
Council bound by the decision of
the General Government Commit-
tee?
Mayor .Miller: No.
Agnew: Then what is to be
gained?
Miller: More particulars.
Agnew; I think we have all the
particulars here to-night. Why not
settle it now?
Clerk Holland: We have no as-
surance that we will get the
$5,000. The Lions Club has, but
the Council hasn't and I don't
believe Council is in a position to
assume a debt of $5,739. Moved
by Pegg, seconded by Stanley,
that Council meet with Lions
delegates on Tuesday afternoon at
one o'clock.
By the time of the special meet-
ing Tuesday afternoon Clerk Hol-
land had received assurance that
the $5,000 would be .forthcoming.
F. Fingland explained that the
town must own the property for
20 years in order to be eligible for
the grant. The Arena could be ad-
ministered by a committee com-
posed of five noes and two coup-
ell members. If, however, after a
period of time, it could be proven
that the situation warranted it,
permission from the Department
could be requested, and the arena
returned to the ownership of the
Clinton Lions.
Coun. Agnew was personally not
in favour of Council having any-
thing to do with it. "Council has
too many irons in the fire al-
ready," However, it looked like
en attempt to get the Lions out
of financial difficulty, Mr. Agnew
said, and he felt perhaps all of the
Lions were not in agreement on
the question. "Last night you were
high-pressured into voting 05,000;
now you hesitate to accept $43,-
000," Mr. Agnew remarked.
Coun. Pegg felt it was too soon
to make a decision on a matter
which concerned 20 years. "We
should know what the body of the
Lions feels about this subject,"
Conn. Draper, speaking as a
Lion, was net in favour of taking
over the arena if the Lions should
lose control of it. However, he
felt that since other towns were
getting the grant, Clinton should
have it, too.
Coun. Knights (speaking as a
Lion) said he was at the Lions
meeting when the tommittee was
appointed to approath Council, Ile
felt opinion there was divided bid
could not say whether the major,.
ity, were, for or against the project.
A motion that Council will Con.
Sider, oking over the Arena, Under
the ommunity Centres Act, if 75
per cent of the Clinton 'Lions Club
membership are iri favour of the
idea, was moved by Stanley, sec.
onded bif Crick, and tarried,'
