'B' Semi -Finals In. the first game of the semi- final Int. "B" WOAA series played at Clinton last Thursday evening, the Clinton Flyers de- feated Hensall 12-1. Olien on the hill for Clinton went the route and gave up only 3 hits. Hensall started with. Mousseau, but he was lifted for a pinch hittee in the seventh. Bell took over in the eigth but was ineffective giving up four runs while striking out (Me.Lindsay then came on and fin- ished the game. Cameron of Hensall got two for four while for Clinton the hits were well divided over the whole team. A good crowd was in attend- ance and really whooped it up. These same two teams go at one another on Saturday in )Hensall, where it is hoped that the game can be controlled more effect- ively by the umpires.

Mitchell were in complete charge of the game from the first inning when they scored two runs and breezed along to a 24 win. Coveney, Mitchell's pitcher was firing bullets all evening and any time the locals did get their bats on the ball his support was fault- less, This young pitcher limited the Clinton lads to three scattered bits and fanned nine while walking five. Ron Hugill, Clinton's ace, had a bad night, He was in con- stant trouble in almost every inn- ing and the five errors behind him didn't help matters. Clinton's lone run came in the sixth when Mitchell had their only lapse of the game. Jack Watkins was safe on an error, he immed- iately broke for second and in the ensuing scramble Pauli, . Wright and Watt all committed errors and Watkins scampered all the way home, An unfortunate accident occurr- ed in the sixth frame when Hughie Colquhoun attempting to steal second collided with Sawyer knocking him unconscious for a few minutes.

Tuckersmith Beats Clinton Kinsmen In Donkey Baseball -Circus Monday Members of the Tuckersmith hockey club definitely had more on the ball, or was it the don- key, last Monday evening when with the help of the stubborn mules they shut out the Kinsmen Club of Clinton 5-0, in a hilar- ious game of donkey baseball. Approximately 300 people spent a highly amusing evening at Clinton Community Park watching these two teams en- deavour to make the donkeys do their bidding and most of the time it was the donks who took command. "Peppy" the quietest, most unassuming animal proved to be the wolf in cheeps clothing as he defied all players to ride him. All those who tried re- ceived the full treatment of bucks, twists and. turns "a la Calgary Stampede style'. Most of the other animals re- fused to budge at any time and t the crowd was kept in histerics watching the players pulling, shoving and even coaxing the mules to move so that they, the players could field the ball. i The final event of the evening was a race which included all the donkeys and five men fro. m the two ball teams: This vvds the only victory the Kinsmen could 'claim and every that was a bit tainted with the judge showing a little favouritism to a Kinsman dressed as a fine young lady. Bantams Eliminate Exeter; Meet Mitchell for Title Ron Hugill hurled his second straight two hit game on Monday evening and the Lions Bantams eliminated Exeter, winning' the second game 10-1. Hugill be- sides pitching a beautiful game had a big evening at the plate hitting a triple, and two doubles. Bev. Boyes was another big gun ,with the willow hitting three singles in his four official ap- pearances at the platter. Clinton sewed things up in the second inning when they pushed six runs across. Exeter's lone run which came in the final inn- ing, was unearned and resulted on three successive overthrows enabling the runner to round the bases and spoil Hugill's bid for a shut -out. The next man up fanned to end the game. The Bantams will now meet Mitchell for the group title. CLINTON .. 160 102 0 10 11 3 EXETER .. 000 000 1 1 2 5 Hugill and Neff; Croker and Pincombe.

We don't know yet how Tuesday evening, with all mein- we'll get along .snowplowing with bars except Councillor D. M. Pegg that truck. I'm satisfied to let present, and Mayor W. J. Miller matters go along as they are for presiding. School Deed Accepted Council accepted the deed for the old, Clinton Public School property, offered by the Public School Board for the sum of one dollar, provided that neither the lands nor the building thereon be used for. educational purposes for pupils in the primary grades, with- out approval of the Board, The clerk was asked to advertise 'for sale, the lot immediately across William Street from the school. Deputy Reeve Crich: Could we not advertise this school property for use as an industrial site? It could be useful to the town .as such. Reeve Nediger: Any town plan- ning would stop that. Not in good location for industrial purposes. Deputy Reeve Crich; Then what can we do? If we let it sit for a few years it is a dead loss. We should either use it or scrap it and get it into residential area, so we can get some revenue from it. Coun. Draper; It should be used as a park. ' Reeve Nediger: The ladies are asking that it be used for a child- ren's playground. It looks as if we'll need it for school purposes even yet. I think it could be used for kindergarten at least, rather than haye the youngsters from the far side of town going all the way up to the new school. . Coun. Agnew: It would be usable for certain types of industry but certainly not for just any kind. Coun. Knights: It would make a nice site for offices for an insur- ance agency or similar offices. Town Planning Board Council appointed Councillor M. J, Agnew and Mayor W. J. Miller to recommend to council at the next meeting, suitable names of citizens to stand on the town planning board. Road Unsatisfactory • Discussion was held concerning surface at side of Victoria Street in front of the Commercial Inn Hotel. When the work was done originally by F. A. Stonehouse, it had not been found satisfactory, and the balance of account owing on the work was not paid. At that time the Stonehouse firm promised that the job would be done proper- ly before payment was expected. Within the last month the surface has had some work, but council felt it still unsatisfactory, since water still collects to a depth of two inches, there. The clerk was instructed to write to the Stone- house firm requesting that the job be corrected. Group Insurance A representative from Confed- eration Life Insurance aecompan- (Continued from Page 1) tied Fred Gillis, district represent- committee chairman, Royce Mac- aulay, and H. J. Brunsdon chair- man of the arena committee, es- pecially for their work. He also thanked the Town of Clinton for help with traffic problems and permission to close streets.- Amateur Contest On Thursday, an amateur con- test, with 330 in prizes, was a drawing card for boys and girls up to 17 years of age.

Second were the brother -duet, Jack and Wayne Watkins, Clinton. Judges were Mrs. George Beat- tie, Mrs. Ken McRae and Mrs. J. W. Counter. Awarded Prize D. W.

Marjorie Charters, R.R. 3, Sea - forth, and James Carter, Blyth, won bicycles in a free draw Satur- day afternoon. Miss Julie Hoff- man, of the Bern Conway show, made the draws, Miss Gayle McGhee made the draws on Saturday night for the variety of prizes offered by ex- hibitors. Entertainment Special entertainment given af- ternoon and evening each day of the fair, featured a children's am- ateur contest on Thursday after- noon, and at evening the Wieckel family, Elmira, put on a program, predominantly musical, sprinkling in a good variety of wit. On Friday and Saturday Bern Conway Enterprises were in charge of all programs. Feats of balance, fancy roping, and tricks of Hugo, the educated dog, were given by Miss Ann May. A sing- ing cowboy with his electric guitar provided music. Saturday the mag- ician was assisted in his work by Wayne Stanley and Robert Gem- mell, both of Clinton. The music of "The Continentals" helped the show along its merry way. Prizes won this week by those persons with keys to fit J. A. Anstett's treasurer chest, were: Yvonne Hendricks, R.R. 3, Clinton, a 34 piece set of Remembrance silver; Mrs. Andrew Gardiner, Clinton, Gruen watch; Mrs. H. Workman, Clinton, an 1847 Rog- ers.

Clubs Meet Next Week Members of the Girls' Home Garden Clubs in South Huron are holding their annual achievement day hi the Clinton District Col- legiate Institute next Wednesday, commencing at 9.30 earl, Mothers and friends of club members, and 'Women's Institute members ere cordially invited to attend and view the exhibits made by the girls, Certificates and a- wards will be inade. 'roteorrow Is the deadllee for ative, and proposed a planfor group insurance and hospitaliza- tion for town employees. On sug- gestion of George Knights they were requested to provide each member of the council with a res- ume of benefits offered so the plan could be compared with plans al- ready before them. Building Permits now as far as that goes. Council agreed to advise the Turf Club from pow on the use of the shed would not be available to them. Health and Welfare Deputy Reeve Crich reported that conditions at the dump were good. The bulldozer was required, but that for only the second time since the present .scheme of two open days a week had been in- stituted at the dump, The care rif papers, and the co-operation of Canada Packers was reported as good. Fire and Water Coun. Draper, reporting for the fire and water committee suggest- ed that the doors on the fire hall should be widened, He said there was barely six inches to spare on either side of the large truck, and when the track was inside there Was barely room to shut the door, He suggested that an overhead door probably would be the answ- er. Pollee Committee Coun. Agnew presented the po- lice chief's monthly report, which included plans for period when the Chief would be on two weeks leave, commencing August 24, Mr. Ferrand did not anticipate leaving the district since both constables were new at the job, but would stay, and suggested that instead of hiring another man for that period that the constables be asked to work an additional four hours each day. This Chief Ferrand stated was agreeable to both constables. Coun. Schoenhals asked if Chief Ferrand was eligible for two weeks vacation this year. He said that generally it was only after a year's service that two weeks were given. Clerk Holland: Believe that the budget was figured to allow one and one half months vacation for the three constables, and that an- other man should be hired while they were- away. Coun, Agnew: Believe, that when you hired the Chief, this was more or less agreed. Deputy Reeve Cridh: This should be left in the hands of the police committee. Whatever they do is all right with me. Coun. Agnew: Chief Ferrand suggests that connection with telephone and light instead of with the buzzer at present, since resi- dents in the area were complaining of the noise of the buzzer. The light would go on outside of the police station when the telephone rang, so that the constable on duty could know he was being called. This police light is definitely a re- quirement, in the minds of the police committee. No action was taken. $25 Paid On suggestion that the expenses of Reeve Crockford who came from Scarborough Township to Clinton to address the citizens on the problems and benefits of town planning, to the amount of $35 be paid, it was decided by Council on Two building permits were pre- sented and passed. Alex Powell requested permission to erect a service station to the value of $3,000 on Highway 4, just past the Joseph Becker property; George Beattie requested permission to erect a canopy at the front of his furniture store, to project six feet over the sidewalk, at an approx- imate cost of '$200. Not GIazed Tile Reeve 3. W. Nediger reported that the streets committee had de- cided not to follow the engineer's instructions to use glazed tile for the drain on Percival Street near the new Public School, but to use field tile instead. This decision was made since this year's budget did not allow for the expense of glazed tile, Driveway Creates Hazard The reeve mentioned that the cement apron laid in front of the Roman Catholic Church on James Street, extended so far into the street itself, that traffic was forc- ed to go farther over on the other side of the street. Also water which should drain down the side of the street ran out into the street because of the cement ap- ron. Reeve Nediger felt that the situation should be remedied. It was agreed that a delegation meet with representatives from the church concerning this. Garage or Stable? Again speaking for the public worke committee, Reeve Nediger mentioned the steel shed at Clin- ton Community Park, which was being used by the streets foreman as a place to keep the -truck, and do adjustments and repairs. Lin - til now the Turf Club had been in the habit of using the shed as a place to house horses on occasion of the race days. On the last race day, according to the reeve, .the Club had promised to clean out the shed following the races, but had not done so, Mr, Nediger expres- sed the feeling that the streets foreman should not be asked to work on the truck in a shed that was used as a horse stable. Reeve Nediger stated that he would like to co-operate with the Turf Club as much as possible, but without the shed there was no place to nut town equipment. Coun. C. Draper; You can't use a building for two purposes, never could. However, if we could only co-operate with the Club for this year, it would be a good thing. Coun. M. 3, Agnew: The Turf Club moved the shed to its present location, The town gave the dub a certain amount of money to de- fray expenses, and all the expense to Them was the labour, I think. Deputy peeve Mel Crich: We have valuable equipment. At pres- ent the tools are stored in the basement of the town hall, What we treed is a heated building. What is the streets foreman going to do for a place to work in the winter? That old building is not fit, Reeve Nediger: Well, in the fu- ture, we will need a shop. This year we've taken a pretty big having record books and third- yeare sent f. flies members reference a ce to Miss Jean M. Steeklh, Depart- ment of Agriculture, Clinton, Clubs .from Seaforth, Auburn, ,earvvuldaleDuilino ndCarlW l W takhig part. motion of Agnew, seconded by Nediger, that 325 be paid toward this, Trailer Lteenses Deputy Reeve Crich: Were lucky, A family lived here for some time in a trailer, We have received a bill from a London hospital for an indigent patient. We're lucky that the patient is now' a resident of Hamilton, otherwise we would have to pay the bill.. These trailer owners pay us GTO. thing. The only person who bene- fits is the owner of the property where the trailer parks, I have a motion here suggesting that a by- law be drafted to license trailers at the rate of 34 per week, or $10 a month. Clerk Holland explained that there is absolutely no revenue fromthe trailers town,neither h as . ile rs in rte ther from; water, sewerage, land tax, nor education taxes. The idea of licensing thein is to gain some rev- enue in lieu of these. Based at present costs, the average family unit in Clinton pays 3152 annually toward these above costs. The trailer unit licensed at $10 per month, would' still be paying less than mare permanent residents, Agnew: Don't like it, We don't have to be so arbitrary nor so arrogant, in this. Why can't we add to the taxes of the owner? Mayor Miller; It would be a pro- tection to the municipality. Reeve Nediger: Most of these trailers cost from 34,000 to $6,000. I think that residents there are getting by at very little cost to themselves. Coun. Knights: It seems to me unfair to single out the few trail- er owners and charge them license when dwellers in apartments, which appear to be in a like Cate- gory are not charged. Reeve Nediger: Well, the owner of apartments is charged, and he in turn, invariably passes on the added cost to the tenant in terms of added rent. Coun. Draper: How many trail- ers are there in town? Clerk: About three months ago, there were nine. Coun. Agnew: I suggest that the by-laws committee be asked to bring in a by-law to license trail- ers. Re: Waste Containers • Reeve Nediger: Do you want the streets foreman to look after the emptying of the waste containers which the Kinsmen Club of Clinton have so kindly presented us? I have an offer from a regular gar- bage collector who will do the job for one dollar a week. At present, collections from sweeping the streets are placed in the old pond between Princess and Mill Streets. Collections from the containers will have to go to the dump and be burned. Agnew: This should be looked after by the Public Works Com- mittee. Seems to me that the town workmen could hardly do it for a cost to the town of less than. one dollar a week, Mayor Miller suggested that council should send a letter of appreciation to the Kinsmen for the containers. This was author- ized. TICE Any person or persons dumping refuse ever the fence at the town dump at any time is liable for prosecution to the full extent of the law. The town dump is open every Wednesday and "Saturday afternoon.
