It is still unknown whether Clinton will have a Juvenile baseball team. Apparently there are eleven or twelve players available, but the team is with- out a pitcher. We hope that this problem will be solved soon. -with one more year in Juvenile a number of the players would be -ready for Intermediate and Clinton would be able to enter a team, in the Huron -Perth again. Champions of Group A in the Mixed Bowling league, the Boomerangs, were humbled by the champions of Group B, the Alleycats, on Monday evening. The score was .2540-2478. Memb- ers of the Alleycats who now consider themselves uncrowned champions of the league are Lar- ene Cox, Betty Stock, Bessie Black, Murray Lovett, Harold Black, George McPherson. There is a possibility of Sea- forth's new entry in the Huron- Perth having a familiar Clinton tinge to it - some of the ex- ecutive of the Seaforth club have been in touch with several of last season's Colts, and it is ex- pected that they will be in the Seaforth lineup, when the um- pire says "Play Ball". Chuck Woodcock, third base- man for the Clinton Colts will be playing for Durham this sea- son. Durham is gathering one of the strongest teams in West- ern Ontario and they certainly didn't go wrong when they moved Chuck to their town to handle the hot corner. TownCun Disputes Council D Goderich Twp. Stautes. d Re James Cox Barn Fire Communication from the Gode- rich Township council was receiv- ed by the Town of Clinton,' and brought before town council at its regular meeting on Monday even- ing, May 11, concerning an extra hour charged for by the town for services of the Clinton Fire Brig- ade at a fire which destroyed the barn of James Cox in that town- ship. (At this fire, three brigades: Bayfield, Clinton, and Goderich, were called, and attended. Since the barn was well aflame before their arrival, there was little to do. The township was faced with three bills to pay). The township remitted $75, the fee for the first hour, but did not add the $25 called for since the Clinton brigade having stayed more than one hour at the scene of the fire. The township also enclosed a contract for agreement with the town concerning fire protection, which had an extra clause. This clause stated that any remittance from an insurance company to the brigade for its services at a fire should in future be turned over to the township council. Coun. C. W. Draper: Notifica- tion to go to fire should come from someone in authority in the township. It costs money to handle these fire departments, and we have co-operated with the townships by allowing our depart- ment to go out to a fire there. We did not go to the township;, they came to us requesting the service. Actually they're quibbling over $25. I had understood in the beginning that the Clinton brigade was to cover only this end of the township, and the Cox fire was not in this section. It would please me not to have the brigade called out of town, because of the danger to Clinton's citizens during its absence. Since there were three brigades at the fire, I would assume the first one there would be in charge, and should have sent the others home. Reeve Nediger: I understand that the Clinton brigade arrived after the Bayfigld brigade, but they did not tale the truck off the road. My opinion is that they did right to stay at the scene, since there was a strong wind blowing towards the house. Deputy Reeve Crich: The same agreements stands for a town- ships. Coun. Agnew: Since this town- ship has requested a change in the agreement, they must not like the old agreement. This leaves them without protection until another agreement is set up. Clerk Holland explained that by the letter of Clerk R. E. Thomp- son (Clerk of Goderich Township) it was proposed that the old agreement should remain in force until a new one was drawn up. However, since the township had refused to pay the additional $25, they had in effect broken their agreement and therefore Clinton Fire Brigade should not have to answer a fire call, Later in the meeting Councillor Draper requested •clarification of the wishes of council concerning the matter. Coun. Schoenhals expressed his belief that the township council- lors were not protesting the $25 per hour in all cases, but just in the case of this one fire. Coun. Knights: This is a case of the township councillors sitting around a table just as we are, and trying to save the taxpayer's money. I'd suggest that we send back .unsigned, this contract they have sent us, and explain the mat- ter to them more fully. Coun. Pegg: This whole thing pivots on the time factor. Who is responsible for saying when the danger from fire is over and the brigade is released to go home? I assume it is left to the good judg- ment of the chief of the brigade. I understand that Chief G. W. Rath stayed on the job as long as he felt necessary. This should all be explained to the township council. Coun. Agnew: Must be sorrie- thing wrong with the township's set-up, when three brigades are called to one fire. I had under- stood the territory would be zon- ed, and our brigade would be cal- led 'only to one section of the township. Clerk L. D. Holland was in- structed to write an explanatory letter to the clerk of the town- ship, at the same time returning the proposed contract unsigned, and request payment of the $25. 0 The motor car killed an average of 19 persons a week in Ontario in 1952.
