OUR BAYFIElLD CORESPOND-.
ent brings word of the garden,
World in Bayfield "Bayfield
isn't behind the rest a Ontario In
producing fruits and vegetables
out of season... Besides flowers
and ripe tomatoes being picked
from many local gardens it
has come to our ears that Mrs.
Paul Cleave is using green onions
and lettuce out of her garden ..
And on November 1 . . . Paul
Cleave picked enough ripe rasp-
berries in his garden on the Bron-
son Line to serve a family of:
eight , .. Were it not for the odd
chilly wind and the promises of
the weatherman that winter is oil
the way . . , we'd be tempted to
think that we were living in a
veritable garden of Eden... per-
haps we are and don't know it . , ."

farm last week to lbok over his
cattle , , . As he looked over the
herd he noticed one beast missing
Trying to mind out which
a▪ nimal was gone he passed close
to a haystack in the field . , . and
thought he heard a muffled bawl
• :. He rushed to the barn, and
with his son got pitch forks, hay -
knife, tractor and all other neces-
sary equipment to move hay ,
After a few minutes of frantic
work they uncovered the animal
▪ The "bossy" staggered to his
feet and apart from being very
warm and a little Jame on one
foot . . , was not hurt in any
way.,,

GREAT WAS THE SURPRISE
of two industriously soaping
youngsters . doing a remark-
ably thorough job of the window
at Clayton's Ice Cream Bar on
Hallowe'en night . when they
heard a voice behind them say,
"Mighty fine job". None other
than Constable Timleck himself
had been watching them really
get the job done. Then the
constable stood by, ` while the
young ones went in and got a pail
of water from the restaurant and
washed the windows spic and span
again .

Use Town
Old Public
"Are you in favour of the Town
of Clinton retaining the old school
building for Municipal Offices and
renting the remaining available
space?" is the question which will
be placed before the " property
owners of the. town of Clinton nn
December 1, This was decided
last night at a special meeting of
the town council, held in the old
public school when a by-law was
passed concerning the problem.
The vote on the above question
will be taken an the same day as
the general election.
All councillors were in attend-
ance at this special meeting of the
council, which was presided aver
by Mayor W. 3. Miller, and attend-
ed by Clerk L. D. Holland.
(Further details on this pleb-
iscite will be presented in The
Clinton News -Record next week,
when the complete by-law will be
printed, along with proclamation
concerning the election, polling
plates, etc.)_
Building- By -Law
Councillor D. M. Pegg, chairman
of the by-laws committee, present-
ed a building by-law, developed
over the course of two years •by
Hall? or
School?
the Ontario Department of Plan-
ning and Development, to meet
the needs of small towns, and bas-
ed on the code for dwelling con-
struction. Since acceptance of the
by-law by the town would in-
fluence the amount of fee paid to
the building inspector, increase for
which was not budgeted for, the
committee had decided not to
bring the matter into `:discussion
until the end of the yea .
However, as Mr. Pegg stated,
since the end of the year was fast
approaching, and in order. for the
increased rates to be incorporated
in the 1954 budget, the committee
suggested that at the next regular
council meeting the by-law be read
the first time, and following that
each of the council members would
take the time to read it at their
leisure and digest it more fully.
The building by-law as suggest-
ed was the best that could be pro-
vided by experienced men working
for some time, and Mr. Pegg in re-
minding of this, suggested that
though now the idea was relativ-
ely new, that council would find
it to be receiving satisfactory com-
ment in the near future.
and thence after removing a door
jamb, the entrants had gotten in- ,Cor
�. Girling, Stresses Need
to the front part of the building.
A quantity of candy, cigarettes,
cigars, chewing gum, etc., which!
were removed, have been recover-
ed, owing to information received
from a good citizen.
An alleged theft of a motorcar
from in front of Melva Manor
early Sunday morning, is being in-
vestigated, and charges may be
preferred.
During the temporary absence
of Mrs. Agnes Hamilton from her
residence on Mill Street, between
noon, October 28, and the morn-
'ing of November 3, the house was
broken into and someone entered
through' a downstairs window. No-
thing apparently was stolen.
At the home of Albert Carter,
just around the corner from Mrs.
Hamilton's house, the kitchen win-
dow was broken sometime between
Sunday afternoon, and the even-
ing of November 3, and someone
entered there. Nothing apparent-
ly was stolen.
Early on. Tuesday afternoon, at
the corner of Rattenbury and Al-
bert Streets, a car driven by
Charles Cooper, Clinton, was pro-
ceeding east along Rattenbury, at- •
tempting to pass a truck driven
by Earl Hamilton, Wingliam,
which was temporarily stopped,
when the trucks commenced to
move. Mr. Cooper turned over to
the right and struck another pas-
senger car. Damage to the right
front fender of the Cooper car is
estimated at $30.
Only minor episodes marked the
Hallowe'en night of 1953 in Clin-
ton.
Careless driving charges against
Benjamin Carlisle and Velmorc
LeBlanc which were heard in mag-
istrate's court in Seaforth yester-
day resulted in fines of five aiid
ten dollars plus costs respectively.
Part of the defence of the two
Clinton ,nen charged with viola-
tions of the CTA was deferred un-
til November 18, when their cases
will be heard in court in Clinton.

conserving fish, he said that
450,000 non-residents who come to
the province, take fish from our
streams and lakes, besides the
650,000 Ontario resident& He

ple in the province who hunt.

ation of this problem.

ional supervision ofconservation,

club's far as a crown reserve
for game, etc. Mr. 11teadows ad,
vised against this being done, be,
cause of the opposition to the
same by the Department of Lands
and Forests.
Considerable discussion arose
over Earl Pioueette's question as
lie reported for the Fishing Com-
mittee. He wanted to have all
bulletins from the Department
forwarded to the clubs, for post-
ing, so that all members might
know, when, where, and under the
varying area eircurnstances, fish-
; int; of all varieties, and hunting of
all game, might be legally done.

Sudden Death. Game To Be Played
In Exeter Tomorrow Afternoon
Clinton District Collegiate In-
stitute's Redinen and Seaforth
High School battled through 60
minutes of torrid football yester-
dayiron afternoonwithneither on theteam Exeterscoring grida-
single point. The 0-0 stalemate
leaven the two evenly -matched
teams still deadlocked and forces
another sudden -death game, which
will be played in Exeter, on Fri-
day afternoon,
This playoff came about by the
two teams being tied at the end
of the HSSA football schedule;
each had lost their -away game to
the other club,
The game was as close as the
score would indicate with neither
team threatening until the final
quarter. Ron Carter, Ron. Steepe
and Bruce Ashdown were the most
dangerous men on the offensive
for Clinton and on the only ser-
ious Seaforth gain Ron Carter pul-
led the Seaforth player down just
as he was• getting in the clear.
In the -final quarter Seaforth..
carried the ball to the Clinton one -
yard line but the Redmen put up a
stonewall defence and stopped the
desperate Seaforth crew on two
successive plays and took posses-
sion of the ball.
As the clock ticked off the final
minutes of the game, Clinton mov
ed down the field to Seaforth's
one -yard line. It seemed that the
Recliner! could not be denied but
fate stepped in as the gun went off
to end the game before Clinton
could put another play into action
and get a man into the end zone
and victory.
The referees deserve a great
deal of credit. They had a very
difficult game to handle and they
did an excellent job,
Clinton showed a great deal of
school spirit with most of the
weather to cheer their favourites,
The CDCI bugle band was also on
hand to add colour to the game,
