out the hill and level the track
again, All the earth that was tak-

level the inf4eld which now is
completely seeded. The pond that
used to provide skating in the
winter and obnoxious odours in
the summer has been completely
filled in,
This spring the county grader
was hired to scarify the track,
then 750 yards of sand was spread
on the surface and worked well
into the track by constant harrow-
' ing and cultivating, This gives
Clinton a track that will absorb a
great amount of water and remain
fast,
Track Improved
Perhaps the one item that has
taken the most work is the vast
improvements that have been put
into the track. This has been done
through the combined efforts of
the Turf Club and Park Board and

Bantams Win Again
Thump Goderieb.13-8
Clinton Lions Bantams continu-
ed their winning ways on Monday
evening when they walloped Gode-
rich 13-8 in a seven inning game,
Clinton, although out -hit eleven to
ten, succeeded in .bunching nine of
their safties into the fifth and
sixth innings and score nine runs
breaking up what had been up to
that point a very close game.
Neff, Colquhoun and Telford led
the local attack with two hits
each, Godard had a perfect night
at bat with four singles in four
trip to the plate, for Goderich.
Walzak with two hits, also gave
Hugill some trouble.
Clinton's fielding was inclined to
be a little loose as they committed
seven errors but they tightened up
in the pinches and did not allow
Goderich to score more than two
runs in any inning.

efforts of the Park Board and the

the bright spots in the park.

Diefenbaker Ends
WO Tour Here
(Continued from Page One)
In this agricultural riding, went
on. Mr, Diefenbaker,
in
your ur o.
w
n
interests
you will vote for the PC
representative, Mr. Cardiff, If you
believe in floor prices, then sup-
port the candidate that supports
these things.
He mentioned lightly, the plank
of the PC platform which called
for a clause in the Unemployment
Insurance Act toallow for com-
pensation in .case of unemployment
caused by illness or .accident.
Speaking of taxation, Mr. Dief-
enbaker mentioned expense in
rental of buildings never used, in
one ease $170,000, and in .another
$28,500; in erecting one building,
$49,836, and extras not originally
planned for, $89,000; expense in
purchase and clearing of 40 acres
of land (implied purchased from
government supporters), a cost of
$47,600, or over $1,009 per acre;
the cost of building a "palace" for
the Central Mortgage and Hous-
ing at $2,660,000, and adding
"bounce" to the dance floor there-
in, by "bouncing the taxpayer" for
an additional $7,000; the addition
of a publicity department in the
Post Office department to tell
people what the work of the Post
Office was, including hiring 28
people and spending '$196,000; the
the petty cash item of $17.millions.
Though Canada is at war with
Communists, Mr, Diefenbaker said,
this did not prevent the govern-
ment from granting $12 millions
to a group of people under the
name of the Min Sung Corpora-
tion, who exempt from tax, with
Canadian boats, officered and
manned by Chinese Communists,
said the China Sea under the Can-
adian ensign. When the PC party
asked where the boats were, the
government was unable to tell
them, and the money was gone
also, The lawyers, said Mr. Dief-
enbaker, had' a field day, and fin-
ally "came to the conclusion that
they came to no conclusion."
The speaker„mentioned that
publicity for thdefence program
of Canada for each recruit
amounted to $71,000, or $68,000
each day for 365 days a year.
"Then they say it is impossible
for us to save on tax money. I've
just gotten started folks. I've just
gotten to page two.”
As other evidence of extravag-
ance on the part of the govern-
ment he mentioned sale of profiI-
ing machines .to a machine comp-
any in Toronto at a price of $6,-
580 for 47 machines, compared
with a price paid by the govern-
ment for nine machines re -purch-
ased at a cost of $4,900 each. Also
expense 'of $8 millions last year
for furniture was quoted.
Concluding, Mr. Diefenbaker
promised tax cuts in October if
the PC party is elected in August.
He suggested folly in supplanting
a man from representing the -rid-
ing who had served the district
well in the past, and had the cour-
age to speak his beliefs before the
government "who sit in arrogance
saying 'look at us, the cabinet of
indispensible men'. When the gov-
erning men of our nation stand up
and say, 'Who is there to stop els,
then the answer is, 'We, the people
of Canada'."

Clinton Flyers Duinp
Hensall Softballers 7-5
Clinton Flyers aided by some
erratic fielding scored four runs in
their half of the first inning and
Went on to post a 7-5 win over
the visiting Hensall' nine.
The game was a regular sched-
uled Intermediate "B" WOAA
softball game played on the RCAF
sports field.
Hensall • settled down after the
first frame and played excellent
ball thereafter but could not over-
come the Flyer's big lead.
Plummer continued to be the
hottest batter on the Flyer team
hanunering two doubles in four
trips to the plate. Baird for .Hen-
sall shared the hitting spotlight
with two for four.
Sasso, the plate umpire, was in
constant trouble resulting from
his decisions. He was the centre
of many arguments and eventually
ejected Cameron of Hensall from
the game for objecting too stren-
uously.

Two Huron Students
Win $25 Prizes
Letter Writing Contest
Two students of South Hures
District High School at Exeter
were successful in winning $25 irk
the letter writing contest recently
conducted by the Ontario Depart—
ment of Travel and Publicity. Pro—
moted with the idea of widening
the interest and knowledge both of
young Canadians and those outside -
of the dominion, in Canada, the
contest was open to all students
of high schools in the province.
Two winners among the 501
young people who received $25•
each were Miss Beth Taylor, R.R„
3, Exeter and Ronald Roweliffe,
R.R, 1, Hensall. Another student •
at SHDHS who was one of four
to receive"honourable mention and.
$10, was Bill Batten, Eeeter,
Strangely enough the first four
prizes of $400, $250, $100 and $100:
all were won by students in North-
ern Ontario, at Sudbury, Kapus—
kasing, Fort William and North
Bay. Evidently they must have
more interest in advertising Can-
ada than those youngsters in the
