The team management has been organ. 'zed for some time and an endeay. OW to bring a few good players to Clinton to bolster the ageing lineup has been under way. Unfortunate - easy task and at this time not a ly, to secure the high calibre hoc- key talent that is desired is not an single player has been definitely lined -up. It is a bad state that towns the size of Clinton have to import players so that they can put a team on the ice that will measure up to group standards but as much as we hate the aituation it has to be faced, This corner feels that if the Colts do not get some players with- in the next two or three weeks when the senior teams are pract- icing that Clinton will probably be without a n Intermediate hockey team this year. This would be a sorrowful situation for a town District Hockey Clubs Enquiring About Tee At the meeting of Clinton Lions Club last week, Howard Brunsdon, manager of Clinton Lions Arena, told the club that alreedy district hockey teams are enquiring about dates fore hockeY practices. No date alas yet been set sfor the making of ice, but Mr. Brunsdon said everything was in good shape •at the arena. He -already has his staff hired for the coming season. Goderich Team Is .

Rains Help Crops In Huron County "Heavy rains Friday night and Saturday morning last will greatly help cultivated crops and pas- tures," G. W. Montgomery, agri- cultural representative for Huron County, reports. "The first fall wheat was seeded last week and indications now are that the acreage will be down somewhat from other years. "The white bean harvest is in full swing in the county and yields of 16 to 20 bushels per acre are being reported with the price at around $4." that has been represented in the OHA for many year and a definite blow to the Lions Club in their efforts to run the arena at a pro- fit, • Clinton Hockey teams received a tribute from "Chick" Appel in his daily column in the Stratford Beacon -Herald, Chick acknoW- ledges a ten donor donation from the Clinton Colts te the Jim Loader fund and says in part, "They always were a great bunch of guys up there in Clinton". Jim Loader, as most Clinton hockey fans will remember, was the playing coach for Mitchell last season. He is now battling with polio and, from what, we can find out is expected to beat the dread disease. M a former teammate of Jim's, we know that you couldn't meet a better guy on or off the ice and it is out sincere wish and those of Clinton hockey enthusiasts that Jim will be ready for the coming season and will be back as strong as before.

Dunlop To Open New Public School (Continued from Page Nine) Highways was responsible for this, and asked him to approach the Department concerning it. Traffic Director Further, the chief of police brought forward. the problem arie- ing at the corner of Percival and Ontario Streets, where a great many children crossed Highway 8, The safety patrol boys are not per- mitted to direct traffic, but only to hold the children at the crossing until it is safe for them to cross. The chief suggested that some adult could be hired for the job, or the caretaker or teachers might take over the job. Chairman Cudmore suggested that this was the work of the police committee of the town coun- cil, Royce Macaulay suggested that Percy Livermore, caretaker at the school, might do it, and stated that Mr. Livermore was willing to except at four o'clock when he preferred to get on with the care- taking work in the school. Mr. Ferrand agreed that it was part of the work of the police department to look after such crossings, but witty only one man on duty at one time, it was quite possible that he might be called away on an erne ergency just at the time when'he was needed.

Les Bali suggested that the Matter be taken before council, sine it was up to them to pay any man hired, and in the meantime the caretaker or teaehrerac°llidfrnileininti M.Ferrandoned that the kindergarten children, who espec- ially needed help were leaving the school half an hour before the oth- ers and thus received no help across highways.
