Wins On Five
Percent Coupon
After a spectacular win of over
$200 last week, the share in the
Appreciation Day treasure chest
last week dropped again to only
five perdent, when Mrs. Jack Gib-
son, Bayfield Road, was lucky
enough to have her five percent
coupon drawn. Her husband took
home a cheque for $30.39.
Next week the total amount in
the chest rises again to $652,38.
This means, that a real lucky per-
son, could' win half that amount,
or $326.19 — or a medium lucky
person could go home with five
percent, $32.62.

Chief I-i R. Thompson reports

Due to difficutly in, financing
operations at the arena, the Chn-•
ton Lions' Club Tuesday night was
represented by J, Murphy and
George Laois in a request to the town council for a grant of up to
$1,000 by way of financial assis-
tance.
Mr, Murphy outlined the 1954-
55 season when the arena operat-
ed with .a deficit of $239.68. Re-
ceipts were $5,288.71 andexpenses
were $5,528.39. This did not in-
clude any payment Of principal,
nor even interest on the mortgage,
The arena represents a capital in-
vestment of $60,000 to the Lions
Club.
In• view of the fact that in other
towns nearby, town councils have
been putting up from $1,000 to
$15,000 per year to operate the
arena, and since it was too great
a load for the Lions to carry along
with other welfare costs, the re-
quest was made.
Councillor Beattie asked when
the Lions had set up a 'separate
arena account, Mr. Murphy said
it had been done following the
1953-54 'season when the Lions de-
ficit for the year was $900 to
$1,000.
a utility room for trailer owners
to use for washing clothes.
He suggested that a charge of
$1 per trailer per week (as levied
in other towns) might be suffic-
ient to defray costs of schooling
for those children who might live
in them.
Upon request of the mayor, pub-
lic school board officials present
offered the inforamtion that non-
resident fees were $8 per month.
Councillor Irwin said that in case
of a regulated camp it should be
treated similar to an apartment
house where rental fees included
school tax charges.
Mayor Miller warned that caut-
ion was necessary in this, since
if trailer dwellers stayed in the
municipality for six months, then
Clinton would be responsible for
relief payments f necessary.
Councillor Bridle also- urged caut-
ion' in this. matter. .
Reeve Stanley and Councillor.
Irwin commented on the idea as a
good one, and said that a regulated
camp would be good for the town.
The residents purchased every-
thing they bought in the place
where they lived, and by central-
izing the trailers, some regulat-
ions. could be made.
Council requested Clerk John
Livermore to co-operate with the
assessor and Mr. Becker in arriv-
ing at a fair arrangement for the
new trailer camp assessment and
school charges.
The annual meeting of Wesley-*
Willis United Church was held in
the church hall on Thursday, Jan-

atives of Town Council and
eel McAdam and Bill Edgar from.
the Clinton and District Chamber
of Commerce attended 'a meeting
irt New Hamburg yesterday after-
noon to discuss the formation of
the Upper Grand Delevepment As-
sociation for industrial promotion..
Representation to this question
was made to Council on Tuesday
evening, by Bill Edgar speaking
for the Chamber of Commerce,
and by Miss Wilma Dienin, sec-
retary of the Huron County Indus-
trial Promotion Board, urging that
this opportunity .to join with the
other municipalities in the scheme
should not be overlooked.
Reeve Stanley said, "I feel that
this is going to cost us something,
but that we can't afford to miss
the chance., If other surrounding
towns go in, then we' should go
along with the idea. If we at-
tract two- or three industries to
the. county then it will be worth
while."
Council came to no decision on
the matter, pending a report
from the New Hamburg meeting
yesterday.
Council Considers Idea:
Regulated Trailer Camp
Mayor Miller asked for the oper-
ating costs per day, and was told:-
between $30 and $40. Mr, Mur-
phy said that one big item was for
power, over $1,300.
Councillor Beattie expressed his
wonder, that with such a large
capital investment, the Club could
not raise money as they used to.
It was explained that so many
other fund-raising activities were
being carried on that people had
to spread their welfare dollar more
thinly.'
Mr, Murphy predicted an in-
crease in expense for Guides and
Scouts from ethe cost of $300 last
year to a requested $1,500 for this
year. Where there used'.to be 50'
children in. this movement there
was now closer. to 300. Mr. Lavin
spoke of ,the interest of $250 on
the mortgage each year, and that
if the Lions relied on their pain:
account to support the arena then
they would have to limit the other
activities.
Mr. Murphy said, "Speaking as
a taxpayer, I once, thought it
would be a good idea to turn the
arena over to the town, but after
seeing the situation in other
towns', I believe we are better off
to have the arena run as it is."
Deputy Reeve Trewartha passed
on a compliment to the service•
clubs, when he quoted a Children's:
Aid Society worker as saying,,
"you haven't a delinquent child in
town,"
Councillor Beattie recalled the
past when the band began for
$200,, and gradually worked up to,
a grant of $1,000. "This request is
just a start," he said. "If we give
this to one club, we'll be asked for
a like amount by the other service
clubs."
Councillor Bridle said he did not
believe it should be no at in
that light, because no other Club
is operating a like activity.
Councillor Irwin suggested that
the matter be left with the fin-
ance committe for consideration,
and this was agreed to.
