LITTIE BITS OF INTERESTING
etories sometimes come to light a
good long time after they happen
Sometimes by then they are
rather old for news , . , butt this,
though old,, is good w , , At the
iiog Producers' Banquet on Tues-
day night we heard a tale of co-
operation on a grand style .. , Alex
Ostrom and Gerry Rathwell, both
members of the Bayfield 4-H
Swine Club, were raising a pair of
gilts each last summer ,for ex-
hibition at Bayfield Fall Fair , • ,
Sometime before Fair day, Gerry's
pigs died , .. At the time of the
Fair, Alex was sick in bed
His pigs, however, were in the best
of health ... so Gerry showed the
pigs at the fair and came off with
the top prize in the class , .. At
the banquet this week, Alec ac-
cepted the prize for his pigs, but
he was going to split it with
Gerry ... And Gerry was right at
the banquet on invitation from
Alec , , . Good luck in your future

Kinsmen Ask for Toys
Christmas Repair Program
Members of the Kinsmen Club
of Clinton will canvas the rural
routes of this 'district in the
search for toys for their second
annual -toy campaign, This was
decided at the regular bi-monthly
meeting ,held in Hotel Clinton on
Tuesday, evening.
President George Rumball stres-
sed the need for more toys if the
club is to have enough to distrib-
ute to all the needy families of
+Clinton and surrounding- district.
Several boxes of toys • have been
received and letters have been
sent to teachers of the local and
rural schools in an effort to ob-
tain as many old playthings as
possible, It was felt that if mem-
bers of the club would go to the
country and make it easier for
them to help in this project that
the response to the, campaign
would be much greater.
This idea that the Kinsmen
Club originated last year met with
outstanding success and the club
feels that they should carry on and
try to make certain that Santa
will make his annual call at every
home: '
Te aid this worthy, cause leave
your toys at Herman's Men's 'Wear
or contact any member of the
pick them up at your home.
Initiation
Plans also were made to hold an
initiation night for four members
at the next regular meeting. The
initiation will be carried out by
the local club's initiation team in-
stead of bringing in a team from
another town.

Edgar, Doug Bartliff, Stu Schoen-
hals and Harry McEwan.
Members of the sports commit-
tee plan to hold a few practices
for the peewees before grouping

made to pick a team fromthe

ada Week which is held each year

club, They will be very pleased to stery prize.

A 19 -year-old RCAF student Eleven Huron County' juniors iricultural representative for Huron
pilot was killed on Tuesday when.
the Harvard trainer he was flying
solo went into a spin and plunged
into a farmer's field one concession
north of Kippen.
Robert James Gibson, Toronto,
wlio came to Centralia for advanc-
ed training on September 15 and
who had been flying solo for six
weeks, was up on a localflying
exercise.
RCAF officials said the exercise
consists of practicing turns, spins,'
and loops. They said the 'cause
of the accident had not been de-
termined but from reports of the
farmers in the area, Gibson went
into the spin and failed to pull
out. Normally they said, a pilot
does not start a spin below 5,000
feet.
An ambulance and fire truck
left the RCAF station at Cent-
ralia immediately for the crash
scene and an all-night guard was
placed around the wreckage. In-
vestigations will continue.
Gibson was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. F. W. Gibson, Toronto. The
body will be sent to Toronto.

Fish and Game Conservation As-
sociation, their wives and friends

Wednesday evening, November 18.
The church school room, brilliant

propriate setting for the banquet-
ers.

thority. •Mr. Pittock dealt espec-
ially with conservation as it re-
ferred to conserving the soil of
this province for present and fut-
ure generations. He emphasized
the possibilities of erosion of the
topsoil by reference to what he
saw en a trip to New Orleans
where he travelled over a road 28
miles in length on the delta of
the Mississippi River, made entir-
ely of the silt and soil carried
there by erosion from the hund-
reds of miles of waters drained by
that great river.
On a smaller scale the same
thing is happening hi Ontario and
hence a creation of some score of
authorities which have as thein
object the preservation of the soil
by means of scientific measures
such as reforestation, construction
of dams, building of ponds and
reservoirs in some of the main
watersheds,
"Everyone hi the province," he
Said, "no matter what his occupa-
tion nay be, should be greatly
concerned with Such conservation
because the loss of the soil affects
the livelihood and business of all;'
,The speaker was thanked in be-
half of those listening for a. most
interesting and educational 'ad-
dress, by William Jervis, and the
audience agreed with a most
hearty applause, The Girls' Club
was thanked for the excellent
banquet service given to the ea-
soclation and, in behalf of the girls
Mrs, Lane trade a deep response.
The president invited all present
to a social hour or two at the
Clubhouse 'following the program,

W. H, Robinson
Feted by Board
In appreciation, of ten years
spent by W. H. Robinson serving
on the Clinton Hospital Board, the
members of the board gave him a
wrist watch at the fall board
meeting held Iast Thursday night.
Dr. J. W. Shaw made the pre-
sentation,
W. H. Robinson is retiring at
the end of this month from his
position as manager of the Bank
of Montreal, Clinton branch, and
plans to make his home in Inger-
soll, During his ten years with
the hospital board, Mr, Robinson
was chairman of the finance com-
mittee for four years and during
the time the new wing was built
on the hospital. He was vice-
chairman for two years, and for
1952 and 1.953 has been chairman.
With Mr, Robinson's departure
at the end of the month, A. M,
Knight, who now is vice-chairman,
will, be acting chairman until the
annual meeting probably in Feb-
ruary. Other members of the
board are F. Fingland, Q.C.; Dr.
J. W. Shaw, Dr. F. G. Thompson,
Dr, W, A. Oakes, George H, Jef-
ferson, G. M. Counter. Secretary -
treasurer is E. E, Walton.
Mr. Robinson took great interest
in the welfare of the hospital. His
advice, particularly in financial
matters, has been very valuable
to the board.
Two members of the 1953 Coun-
cil, Reeve J. W, Nediger, and De-
puty Reeve Melvin Crich have in-
dicated their intention to stand
for their same positions in 1954,
if they are nominated on Friday
night. Nomination night in Clin-
ton will be held in the auditorium
of the town hall to -morrow even-
ing.
None of the other councillors
have publicly declared themselves
as yet, though there seems good
indication that there will be more
nominations than is necessary for
the complete roster of eight coun-
cilmen and mayor.
W. E. Perdue and 0, M. Shear-
ing this year complete their two-
year term of office with the Pub*
lic Utilities Commission, This
leaves the Commission with two
vacancies, and neither of the re-
tiring men have yet indicated
their intention to stand orwith,
draw if nominated. The remain-
ing members of the PUC are H. R.
Hawkins, chairman in 1953, and A.
3. McMurray, secretary.
The Public School board of eight
members is organized so that four
xnembers each year are elected for
a two-year term, Those complet-
ing their term with the board this
of the. board for t he rlasthsev several
years; Fred Ford, Lorne Brown
and Joseph Murphy, Nomination

is needed of either the retiring
members or new candidates to

Clinton Masons Host to Lodge
From Royal Oak, Michigan
Wor, Master R. R, Fitzsimons,
officers and members of Clinton
Lodge, A.F. and A,M, No. 84 were
hosts' to visiting masons through-
out the district and from beyond
their own Grand Lodge jurisdiction
on Saturday evening,
The meeting was called for the
purpose of a fraternal visit of the
Wor. Master Thompson, officers
and members of Berkley Lodge
No. 536, Royal Oak, Mich., Grand
Lodge of Michigan, in reciproca-
tion of a visit' to their lodge on
Saturday, October 17 by the W,M.
and officers of Clinton Lodge.
Upwards of 30 masons of Royal
Oak and Detroit were present. The
lodge room was filled to its seat-
ing capacity for the outstanding
event. Highlight of the evening's
proceedings was the working of
the third degree or Master Mason
degree by the visiting lodge, as it
is done in their Grand jurisdiction.
The work is dramatized and cos-
tumed throughout, portraying al-
most to the life the historical
events upon which it is founded.
To those present who had not seen
the degree dramatized it was an
education and was a great pleas-
ure to all.
For the degree ':ork the Wor-
shipful Master of Berkley Lodge
was in charge, Afterward the
RCAF degree team of the lodge
took over, with Wor. Brother G.
Shortreed in charge and they later
gave place to Wor. Master 'Fitz-
simons and officers for closing,
Clinton Lodge officers had niade
preparation for a banquet which
was served buffet style "owing to
the limitations. of the premises,
but was ample in quantity and ex-
cellent in quality. Visiting breth-
ren of the district were from Exe-
ter, Lucknow, Blyth, Wingham and
Fordwich. The latter included Rt.
Wor. Bro. Mellwain, DDGIVI,
North Huron.
A splendid spirit of brotherhood
andfriendship is being engineered
by these "Hands across the Bor-
der" events which it is hoped,
might be repeated. This exchange
of visits was arranged by Wor.
Bro. Shortreed and his associate
members of the RCAF.
The Wor, Master of Berkley
Lodge was presented with a fram-
ed photograph of the RCAF de-
gree team in regalia as a souvenir
of their visit. Presentation was
made by S/L J. G. Bury, In
thanking the team the Wor. Mast-
er said, "This picture will hang
on our lodge wall."
Joseph Street Gospel Hall Opened
Well Known Men Lead in Services
Three services were held last
Sunday in the new Gospel Hall on
Joseph Street. There was a large
crowd at the morning service to
take part in remembering the
Lord, The meetings in the after-
noon and at night were attended
by so many that the hall was fill-
ed to overflowing.
The visiting ministers were
William Ferguson, Detroit, and G.
P. Taylor, Deseronto, Mr. Ferg-
uson is editor of "Words in Sea-
son" a monthly magazine for the
ministry of the word of God. It
has a large circulation to many
parts of the world and Mr, Ferg-
uson is well known for his timely
writings and news of Christian
work. Mr. Taylor, until 12 years
ago, lived in Hartford, Conn., and
his travels have carried him to 44
states and across Canada three
times from Montreal, Que. to Van-
couver, B.C., and to Mexico. He
is known as a Bible teacher and
gospel preached. These two men
conducted the evening meeting and
in closing Mr. Taylor announced
that he would be staying in Clin-
ton to conduct special meetings in
the new hall every night at eight
o'clock and invited all back again.
There was no collection at eith-
er afternoon or night meeting and
Mr. Taylor said "You can leave
money at home and come every
night and there will not be a
collection lifted,"
Many spoke of the lovely soft
shade .in which the hall is finished.
The basement, washrooms and
main hall are heated by automatic
oil heating system of the newer
type which blows hot or cool air
giving the sane temperature to
all rooms.
Refreshments were served at
noon and at night. It was a happy
time for all, but more so to the
few Christians who have worked
so hard and long to build this new
hall for a place in which to meet
and invite their friends and neigh-
bours. After the special meetings,
by Mr. Taylor are over, they will
continue with a Sunday School and
gospel meeting every Lord's day,
