Come to th.e Fair
AGAIN IT IS CLINTON Spring Fair time,
and on Saturday, the town will be swelled by
people corning from near and far to show their
livestock, or to enjoy the sights and sounds of
the Fair.
Though Clinton has its fair in the spring,
when the general custom throughout the
counties is to hold . fairs in the autumn, the
fair in our town ranks with the best of them.
True, the time of year limits the type of exhibit
possible, and prize radishes,. huge potatoes and
golden table corn are not part of the displays.
However, this allows for more emphasis on the
livestock exhibits,
A small but satisfactory midway is fun for
the children, ,and a variety of concessions pro-
vide "fair" food for all ages.
The Committee of the Huron Agricultural
Society' has worked hard, and have planned this
year's fair many months ahead. It promises to
be the best Clinton has ever seen. Come on!
Come tq the fair!
Our Neighbors Are ,in Trouble
WHEN THE TORNADO struck farms in
Morris and East and West Wawanosh Town-
ships on Monday evening, the winds brought
grief and financial loss to a great many farm-
ers, Those whose barns suffered only the loss
of shingles, will be able to recover swiftly.
The greatest tragedy exists where complete
barns were demolished, cars overturned and
lovely trees ripped out by the roots. The barns
in that area were old, it is true, but still good
for many years of ordinary weather. They and
the trees which graced lanes and roadways
were the result of many years of planning and
good care.
These folk, living in our own Huron County,
have suffered great loss. The tornado could just
as easily have spun its, devastating path through
Clinton" and surrounding townships. When we
heard of the earlier storm which laid waste
the properties from Sarnia past London and
Stratford, we felt it a terrible thing, and a
lot of us drove down to see what had happened.
This latest twister has caused equal damage,
though to comparatively few persons.
When moneys from the disaster fund are
being used to help tornado viotims, it is to be
hoped that some thought will be given to the
folk whose property was ravaged Monday night.
The people of Huron County, who responded so
gallantly at the time of the floods in Winnipeg
last year, and again, those in England and Hol-
land this spring, surely will respond as heartily
in helping their own neighbours.
Need tor Careful Planning
THE COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD
which Clinton Council and the local Chamber
of Commerce have been advocating is, wehear,
coming close to existence. Certainly, if not
before, it is desperately, needed now.
The latest problem to come before council-
lors in this line, is the matter of dealing with
trailer residents. It has been suggested that
those folk who plan to live in a trailer within
the town limits should pay a license fee to the
town. This would provide a means of collecting
from such residents a fair share of the cost of
the town services. Coupled with this proposal
of a license fee was the suggestion that such a
system would give opportunity for refusing a
license if necessary.
We regret that there is not yet a town
planning board which could deal with the matter
of location of licensed trailer camps—for there,
we believe, is the crux of the problem. First
of all should come a little thought on where
trailers are to be allowed. Certainly this man-
ner of living quarters is growing in popularity,
and there will be more, not fewer, of suc
dwellings. It is up to the town to make plans
for them where they will best fit in to the
layout of the town. They should not be allowed
to park just wherever they manage to tap into
town sewerage mains, and connect to town
water systems.
Secondly, we feel that the proper way to
collect revenue from these dwellers to pay for
said services, is from licensing the owner of.
a trailer camp, according to the number of such
dwelling places he plans to accommodate. He,
in turn, would charge rental to the trailer resi-
dents. In this way, the town would be free of
collecting license fees from transient trailerites.
Leave the Fawns With Their Mothers
DURING THE PAST two weeks several
baby deer have been seen throughout the for-
ested areas, E. R. Meadows, district fish and
wildlife inspector, states. In all but one case
they were left unmolested so that the mother
does could care for them.
Year after year we have appealed through
the press asking the public to leave baby deer
where they are found.
Already two deer have been picked up west
of Galt and turned over to Percy Hill, Parks
Superintendent. As a result he has had to
stay up night after night nursing them on a
bottle, and as a rule at least 50 per cent of
these babies die for the want of proper mother's
milk.
It is against the law to molest deer at any
time of the year, and if the public continues
to take these deer from their mothers there
will be no alternative but to charge them under
the Game and Fisheries Act. For each deer
molested the fine is from $50.00 to $200.00.
We are asking for your co-operation, and
trust that in the future the baby deer will be
left with their mothers where they belong and
where they can be cared for properly.
PETER
of the BACK SHOP
Sure and the Men out here are
planning something for sure this
week. We've felt it in our bones
for quite some time, and the ac-
tivity the last few days has con-
,flrmed our suspicions. We, from•
a mouse's point of view, are ex-
pecting a rather stupendous issue
of the Snoozin' Record this week.
Remember our warning of seven
days ago? The thing about a
snoozin' journal, is the danger of
it suddenly waking up some time.
And, for sure, this week looks to
be one such occasion.
* * *
The Men have been going at
great speeds lately, so it iS as
much as a mouse's life is
worth to just peek around the
corner of a press. And that
horrid router machine keeps
going with an incessant whirr
that makes us wish we'd gone
to work in the mines at "'an
early age".
* * *
Of course, the fact that we'd
like a little sleep means nothing
to a human. We have to spend
so much of our waking hours
evading cats and dogs, and lately
even rabbits, that really we know
not which way to turn.
* * *
Did you manage to avoid
being out in the hail and rain
on Monday? We'd just come

Seaforth and Clinton fastball
teams played a game in the Wes-
tern Ontario series in the park on
Thursday last. The result was a
tie, neither side scoring, though
the Clinton team seemed to have
the advantage throughout.
A tournament of eight doubles
of tennis was played off on the
courts of Mr. G. Lavis and Mr. J.
W. Stevenson on Victoria Day.
The games were well contested
for the trophy. The final games
were played after lunch, when E.
Beacom defeated B. Hovey in
doubles by a score of 7-5. B.
Lavis defeated C. Hodgson by 9-7
in the consolation.
Mr. McGregor of the Royal
Bank Staff, visited his home in
Owen Sound over the 24th.
Morley Counter visited Brant-
ford friends over the holiday.
Roy Forester and Andrew
Steepe spent Victoria Day in
Mitchell,
Messrs H. Twitchell and Ike
Rattenbury and Misses Hattie

Thursday, May 29, 1913
A team from Clinton journeyed
to Hensall on the 24th and had a
shoot with Hensel], gunmen at 25
targets. The Clinton shooters
won by one bird. Following were
those who took part: J. E. Hovey,
J. E. Cantelon, G. East, • G. Grah-
am, E. Lawson. -
The Hyman's of London took
the Clinton baseball club into
camp by a tune of 15-0 on Sat-
urday afternoon at the park here.
A good crowd was out to witness
the first match, but the locals
showed the lack of practice. Er-
rors and weak hitting was their
undoing.
The new uniforms have arrived
inside from the back alley
that night, and certainly were
glad to be under cover. We
stood at the back door, look-
ing out the crack, and watch-
ed those big pieces of ice come
down. Some of those hail-
stones were as big as this
mouse's foot. Surely we would
have been injured if one had
hit us.
* * *
Anyhow, we're happy to be liv-
ing in this favoured section of
Huron County, where so far the
vagaries of twisters and hail-
stones have caused Iittle discern -
fort or damage, Truly, 'tis the
garden of Ontario, and we would
not change our living place for
many others you could name.

We're going to the fair on.
Saturday, and we're determin-
ed to have fun. Somehow
we're going to go for a ride
on the ferris wheel, and we're
going to get a taste of candy
floss if it's possible. We're
going to eat a hot-dog, and
we're going to try an ice
cream cone. We're going to
see the horses, and visit the
cows and sheep, climb on a
tractor seat, and Maybe see a
combine. Best of all, we're
doing to visit with all our
friends and make as many
more as we can. We're going
to the :Pair. May We expect
to sec you there?
