Full Swing b In Huron County "Due to a week of fine weath- er," H. R. Butler, assistant agri- cultural representative for Huron County reports, "fanners in the cash. crop area have been busy completing the harvesting of their beans. Since harvest was held up by a couple of heavy rains, at- tendance at some of the local fall fairs was somewhat lessened by the busy season. "Due to recent heavy frosts, silo Filling is in full swing, and farm- ers report very excellent crops of silage corn. Aftermath is' also making progress with the '' high moisture and abundant sunny weather. "It is believed that the all fall wheat acreage is considerably , lower this year due to the Com- bined effect from at harvest of eropec difficulty in early tillage and the lack of encouragement froth the present wheat price," fi -The Weather 1959 1952 J igh Low High Low Oct 5 54 30 53 31 0 60 38 54 30.

Mayor W. J. Miller pre- sided. Also ,present were five rate -payers and one other inter- ested person. The meeting began at ten minutes after nine, follow- ing a lengthy committee meeting. Street -]righting A request was received from the Clinton Lions Club for payment in part or in full of the charges ($125.00) incurred in erecting and dismantling the strings of colour- ed lights which for several weeks this summer, lighted the main streets of Clinton. The lights were erected especially for the Huron County Trade Fair, and were left in place for the benefit of the Kinsmen Carnival on Labor Day. The Lions Club suggested that since the town benefitted from the good advertising reaped froth the Fair, that the town should be willing to pay part of the ex- penses. Councillor M. J. Agnew: The committee for Protection to Per- sons and Property is already over- drawn by $1,900 on its budget. We've got to learn to say "no", sometimes. We're spending money belonging to people who are hard- pressed to pay their taxes as it is. Councillor D. M. Pegg: Believe we'd be setting up a precedent here. Other service clubs may feel they have a right to a like amount. We haven't budgeted for this expense. I'm sure we're all for the trade fair, but we have not provided for, this expense. Coun. Agnew recalled that when permission was given for the lights to be erected, he had understood that a condition had been made that the town would be put to no expense. It was reported to councillors that already the town would be paying for the power used, since the light strings were attached to the street lighting system. Reeve J. W. Nediger: The Lions did go to a good deal of work, and it was a good advertisement for the town. I'd like to be able to help pay this bill, but we're over- drawn. Suggest we table the bill until the end of the year, Then, if it is found that we have moneys remaining we can lend assistance. The matter was tabled. Remembrance Day On reqnest from the Clinton Branch, No. 140, Canadian Legion, motion was made that the mayor proclaim all day November 11 a public holiday. Also, on motion of Knights, seconded by Agnew, pur- chase of a wreath for use on Re- membrance Day was authorized. Erection of Sign Galbraith Radio and Television requested permission to erect an overhanging sign in front of his property on Albert Street. Since the sign already was erected, per- mission was granted. Civic Holiday Inquiry was received from the City • of London concerning the date on which . Clinton observed civic holiday. They stated that Port Stanley held civic holiday on the opening day of Western Fair. Filed. Sewerage Assessment Request from Par -Knit Hosiery Ltd. was received asking for ease- ment of thetwice times the water rate which They were paying for sewerage, Consumption of water there was reported to be about 7,000 cu. ft. per month. The mat- ter was left in the hands of the finance committee to investigate. Verbal request from A. Garon that his sewerage rate be lowered since consumption had gone well over 30,000 cu. ft. per month. Mow tion was. Made that the PUC be instructed to bill at once times the water rate, effective Oct. 1. Ernest Brown requested that something be done concerning the fact that he was paying sewerage eharges on water used in his barn to water livestock. He suggested that some such arrangement as had been made tvith C. Ellliott in d like situation would be satis- fact.ory. Mr. Brown also requested in- forrnation coneerning who was .re- sponsible for replacing sidewalks broken while sewerage laterals were being placed. Request for Meeting Room The Clinton Women's Institute requested a room in the old school building to use as a meeting place. Since requirements were not clear, this was left to the general gov- ernment committee to investigate further. For Trailer Park Three letters were presented to council requesting permission to park four -trailers on the grounds at the rear of the old public school and to have water, sewerage and hydro services there. The families included six children, four of whom were school age. Permission was not granted. Offer on Old School The Christian Reform Church offered $18,000 for the old public school building, and requested. a "yes" or "no" answer. Since mat- ters were uncertain at the mom- ent, and it was impossible to give a definite affirmative answer, councillors tabled the letter to await further developments. Re; Fox Season Recommendation from the Blyth Fish and Game Conservation ,As- sociation protested the extension of time for hunting of fox, and recommended that councils ser- iously consider the abolition of fox bounty. Convention Clerk L. D. Holland will attend the bi-annual meeting of the• Hu- ron County Municipal Officers' As- sociation to meet in Gorrie on Oc- tober 21. Councillor S. Schoen- hals with L. D. Holland will attend the 6th Regional Municipal Indust- rial Promotion Conference to be held in Goderich on October 29. Nomtnatior�s By -Law 24-1953 set the place for nominations to be the council chambers of the town hall, on the third Friday of November. If necessary, the elections will be held on. the first week day of December. Polling places and clerks 'also were named. Farm Lands A by-law was passed to lower the assessment of farm lands with- in the town to 35 per cent of the assessment. Planning Board The by-law to create the Clin- ton Planning Board received its third reading and was passed. Members are John Lavis, three years; Eugene McAdam, two years; R. N. Irwin, one year; Councillor S. Schoenhals and May- or W. 3. Miller, Building Permits One building permit was passed for Roy McLeod to erect an imp- lement shop at an approximate cost of $6,000. Councillor Pegg suggested that a condition be made that no implements were to be placed upon the sidewalk in front of such implement shed. Court in Clinton On suggestion from Chief Con- stable Joseph Ferrand, a motion was passed that council request the Department of the Attorney General to make arrangements for a court to be held in Clinton at least once a month, This request rose out of the fact that a good many cases were being held and they necessitated the chief con- stable or one of the other con- stables to be in Goderich for the hearings. This left Clinton un- protected. Re -Apportion Moneys Council apportioned $1,800 to the Police Committee and $1,900 to the Protection of Persons and Property Committee to augment their overdrawn budgets. Fire Hell 'rhe matter of heating the fire hall was left in he hands of the General Government Committee. PLIC Offices Reeve Nediger', seconded by Councillor Burt Stanley, _ ""loved that council request the PUC to consider locating their offices in the old publio school building, and share the overall cost of operating the Wilding. Torr~» Hall One Offer of $2,500 for the lot on which the town hall is located was received frons Alan Galbraith, and was trot considered. . Hallowe'en Party Considerable discussion arose over the matter of whether or not to continue the custom of holding a party on October 31 for the children of the town. Deputy Reeve M. Crich: There are no facilities up here for a Hal- lowe'en Party such .as we held in that great big town hall. I move we dispense with it. Reeve Nediger: I'm not just in favour of treating it so bluntly. Part of the reason for coming up here (to the public school) was because other halls were available for just such occasions. Coun. Agnew: Our idea in mov- ing up here was only to save money. I have made snap judge- ments for 50 years, and they've mostly paid off. I'm through with doing that. We're right up against it financially. In the past, once I remember ending up the year in council without a deficit, and that was because, we sold a good many lots. Wheiiemu were setting up a budget you used to be able to count on about the same expense as last year. We're living in an age where last year doesn't mean a thing, Conn. Schoenhals: We've 'just spent considerable time talking about the request from the Lions to share part of - their costs. I feel that the Lions would prefer to pay their share of costs and see the children get something out of the council. There's little enough done for the children in this town, Coun. Agnew:.. There's $350,000 more or less, sitting up there in the form of a new school. Per capita taxes hi this town were $124,60 before the school was built.. Coun. Schoenhals: I don't think $30 would make much difference to our budget. Coun. Agnew: Look here, are we sincere about this thing? There are nine of us here. Are you all willing to put up $5. Several ' yes's" were heard. The Health, Welfare and Special Com- mittee was requested to contact service clubs. 0 Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Corless, Susan and John, Lindsay; Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth M.

Registered Nurses To Meet Here • Registered nurses from district II of the Registered Nurses' As- sociation of Ontario will meet in Clinton on Friday, October 23 at 2.30, at the new Legion Hall, where Miss Thelma Green, civil Clinton Public School Officially Opened, y inister Of Education Last Thursday evening was the "climax to a task which has been in our minds for years", as Chair- man of the Public School Board A, F, Cudmore, stated in his open- ing remarks at the official open- ing of the new public school build- ing. More people attended the event than the large playroom - auditorium at the new " school could accommodate. Dr. W. J. Dunlop, Minister of Education in Ontario, termed the new building, "one of the most beautiful public schools anyone would hope to have". He men- tioned that his department paid 48 per cent of the cost, as part of some 58 millions given to .school boards during the year. Dr. Dunlop commended the trustees of the board for their work to build the school, and the teachers for the grand work they are doing throughout the province. "The teachers have in their hands a good deal of the responsibility for the welfare of your children." The Minister stated that in the educational system in the prov- ince, the home, church and school are co -related. In the home, the parents lay the foundation of re- ligion and character, In the church the moulding of character is con- tinued, while concurrently it goes on in the school. Young Folk Like Work Dr. Dunlop stated that though progressive educators believed hard work could be taken out of schools, he felt it could not. "Young people like hard work and friendly competition is the great- est incentive in the world." The essentials are the three r's, but there is nothing wrong with frills as long as the essentials were cared for. The Minister stated that the idea that selfishness is the root of all evil must be taught to the children. Though each one of them has a short life, even that short life pan influence many. Proclaimed Holiday After the Minister of Education had proclaimed the following day a holiday for the pupils. of the school, he formally and officially proclaimed the new building open- ed for the purpose for which it was built. Little Miss Diane Murphy pre- sented a- bouquet of flowers to Mrs. W. J. Dunlop. A public school chorus compos- ed of pupils of Grades seven and eight sang "Bless This House" and a "Wish for a Happy New Year". Miss Marjorie Bruder sang a solo, and four of the public school boys sang a quartet, "The Shepherd Boy". This music was under the direction of the music supervisor, Mrs. May Rance Mackinnon. Presentation of Bibles for use in each of the classrooms of the schoof from the Gideons, was made by Rev. J. E. Ostrom, min- ister of the Huron Road Baptist Churoh,. In his short address, he compared the teachings of the Bible along with the three is taught in the school, to the mortar' which held the .bricks of the build- ing together, Miss E. M, Jamieson, grade seven teacher, received the Bibles in behalf of the school, F, M, McEvvan, president of Clinton Branch No, 140, Canadian Legion, presented a large flag from the Legion, C. O. Martin, grade six teacher, received the flag,nd promised that as soon as the flag pole was erected at the school, the flag would be flown daily. A short dedication service was conducted by the members of the Clinton Ministerial Association. Rev, H. C. Wilson took his text from the book of Proverbs, Chap- ter 2, "By some ye will observe my words", etc. Rev, D. J. Lane, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, presented the dedication address, He stated that the school is the community. All of the community puts its efforts together to gain results in the school. "Education is not absorption of book know- ledge, but a preparation for a full life. The work of the school should augment our faith." Rev. R. M. P. Bulteel, St, Paul's Anglican Church, led in prayer. Mayor W. 3. Miller expressed the good wishes of thea town for the success of the school, and read greetings from the council, G. G, Gardiner, inspector of public school for South Huron. Goderich, commented an the fact that the Clinton school had been blessed with teachers that stayed through the difficult times in the old crowded arrangements, and he attributed this mainly to the prin- cipal, G. H. Jefferson. C. M. Bezeau, Kitchener, who went to school in Clinton, and attended the school when Prin- cipal Whitehead was in charge, said a few words. "If I had the opportunity, I'd want to start my life right here. I'd eliminate the years gone by, and start again. And I'd Iike to come here and Iearn at the feet of your principal and of these teachers." Mr. Bezeau quoted from an old poem, having to do with a return to the old school grounds, and dedicated it to B. J. Gibbings. Principal George H. Jefferson remarked thad; it was a great night for him. "After the child-, ren had been kept in dungeons for so long, a better place for them makes us feel good." But a building, Mr. Jefferson stated, never made a school yet. No school Was a place of education without teachers "who would work along with you and like kids", Mr. Jefferson thanked the citizens of Clinton for the kind of children that come from the homes in Clinton.
