HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1956-02-16, Page 5Lorne Brown, (right) of Lorne Brown Motors Limited, this week has set up a new limited .cornpany to be known as. T$row- prive-In Limited, and has purchased the Llashmar Dri'e- In Theatre from. A, "Bob" Mar- shall, Mr. Marshall (left) built the drive-in theatre at the north east corner of Clinton in 1.953, and the out-door entertainment' spot has been in operation for the past . three years. (Well known to all Patrons is his aunt Miss Snell, who was his efficient ticket Seller.) Bob's reason for selling is because of other inter- ests which demand his time and attention. The purchase, which takes ef- fect immediately, is not likely to result in any marked changes. Mr. Brown, more popularly known as "Brownie" to friends in Clinton and this part of On- tario, plans to carry on as under- the earlier management, and says he hopes to uphold Mr. Marshall's standard of good en- tertainment and courteous ser- vice. The theatre is due to open during the 'latter part of April this spring. "Bob", too, has a message for his customers" • He says that he Would like to express his sincere appreciation• to everyone in Clin- ton, for their co-operation with him. The Clinton council, the businessmen, his employees and his customers are all "second to none" in his estimation. Legal matters pertaining to the transaction are being hand- led by E. B.

The farm forum members are quite pleased that the forum has been mentioned twice since Christ- mas, on, "What do the forums think," from Toronto. PARR LINE FARM FORUM Parr Line Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Bailey on Monday evening, with 21 members.present. The topic for discussion was "government or producer's marketing." From Ontario's view point, pro- ducer's boards should prove more satisfactory. T h e government should handle the wheat and but- ter, and on the remaining pro- ducts the producers could set up their own marketing boards. A government floor price such as we have on hogs is a necessity. In order to regulate marketing, production would have to be con- trolled and it was thought the vol- ume of production .could be regu- lated by education.. It is very hard to stabilize farm prices except to put a floor price on products or a stop loss price. Winners of progressive euchre were: Mrs. Gordon Coleman, Mrs. John Solder", Eldon Jarrott and Glenn Weida. Lunch was served' by the host- ess. There will be no meeting next week as it is review night. Next meeting on February 27, will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Robinson. FIRESIDE FORUM (By Mrs. W. Dolmage) The Hullett Fireside Farm For- um met February 13, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hoggart, with a good crowd in attendance. Mrs, Babcock presided over the general discussion, which included plans for the rally at Blyth, the delegate being appointed and plans for the next meet0g. It was announced that the for- um's essay on Safe Driving had been the winner of a $10 prize in Huron. After discussing the ques- tions at hand on 'government or producer marketing, it was dif ficult to come to one agreement or solution. The forum divided' in opinion. All agreed that produc- er boards 'seem to be the best al- though it might take a govern- ment board to dispose of surplus products. Production is very hard to reg- ulate arid should be regulated by the producer, The producer board would know more about the vol- time of production, but it would need a government marketing board to enforce regulations. The farmer could work better with a producer board. Government boards could stab- iIi2e farm prices as they have authority, but many thoUght the farmer would lose all control over farm prices. Mrs, Joseph Flynn occupied the lucky chair for linith. Euchre was enjoyed and prizes were won by six lucky ladies: most games, Mrs. Jamieson and Mrs, Hugh Flynn: lone hands, Mrs. J. Howatt and Miss Haselrlynti, and consolation, Miss Frances rlynn. and Mrs, 0. Anderson, next meeting will be at Robert alley's.

Some discussion was held on the matter of house numbering and Street signs, as introduced by the Chambeesome years ago, and two past presidents, Hal Hartley and Mitchael McAdam spoke to this matter. Melvin Crich mentioned the need for a sign on the Blue Water Highway pointing to Clinton. Hal Hartley spoke of the present at- tempt by the village of Brussels to promote tourist route to north- ern Ontario via Kipper', Seaforth and Brussels, and suggested that since the highway presently going through Clinton was in excellent shape, and led directly to the north, it would be wise to take steps to secure the present route for the future.

At the New Hamburg Meet- ing, only Clinton and Kitchener had been undecided about ,the plan.

D, Dinnin spoke briefly concerning the purpose of the Chamber, both on a local and a provincial basis; and suggested to the members' the very wide field in which they could work for the betterment of the town.
