DevelopMents following a week
of meetings and more meetings
among the merchants , of Clinton
have resulted in a decision, by
many of the business . places to -
remain open both Saturday and.
Friday nights in order to serve
their customers more satisfactor-
ily,
Three months ago the Retail
Merchants) Association deaded to
try opening on Friday nights until
the end! of June in, order to, see if
something could not be done about
failing business on Saturday
nights. "People just aren't buy-
ing on Saturday nights the way
they used to," they said.
Now at the close of the trial
period a number of the merchants
are able to repprt increased sales
on Friday nights, over the Satur-
day nights, of 1955. Three of the
business places contacted, report
"the 'biggest May and June we've
ever had,"
Last Thursday evening a meet-
ing of those firms which ordinarily
close their doors at six o'clock,
was called. 35 business people at-
tended. Following "discussion in
which every merchant was called
upon' to state his opinion,. a vote
was taken, which resulted in IS
favouring Saturday night; 15 fail-
outing Friday night, and two not
counted since they were partners
of men already being counted in
the vote.
A stalemate was reached, since
those who favoured Friday-night
felt they could not lose the in-
creased business they had record.
ed on that evening, and were re-
luctant .to close up again: on that
night.
Further meetings and talki, in-
cluding a meeting of grocers yester-
day, seems to have resulted in a
compromise. It appears that the .
merchants favouring Friday night
will nearly all be open on Satur.
day night. as well,, to serve those
wishing to-shop then. Those fav•
oaring Saturday 'night opening,
will also open on Friday night for
those who wish to shop early.

"Don't believe we've ever had a
storm which affected our whole
area so completely as this one,"
naaarked A. M. Knight, manager
of the rural hydro, when quest-
ioned on the amount of damage
caused by the wind and rain
storm on Sunday evening.
The line gangs were on duty
from about 5.30 Sunday evening,
throughout the night, and all day
Monday, and at nine o'clock bad
nearly all of the trouble located
and in most cases power had been
restored. Mr. Knight said at that
time, "I think we have it cornered,
now."

clouds form over Lake Huron, re-
port a length of black cloud along
the horizon, which rolled at sur-
prising speed inland, bringing
strong winds, which gradually dis.

bear in mind that they'll have

Jim Kee, graduate of Blyth
public school, who came from
China only two years ago at
the age of 16. will be a Grade
Nine student here. He's pro-
ceeded from Grade Two level
under the guidance of A. J.
Gray, principal of the Blyth-
school, to pass Grade Eight
with good marks. That means
100 perceat in mathematics
and spelling.
Jim, who is a grandson of
Frank 'Gong, caviler of .a rest-
aurant at 'Myth, became a
Canadian citizen recently.
Following a report by Council-
lor Norman Liverrnore that resi-
dents in the vicinity of the pro-
posed new B-A Oil. Co. service
station were no longer, againat the
idea of having a- building put up
at the corner of Maria and Victor-
ia. Streets, Clinton Town Council
on Tuesday night granted the firm
permission, to build, at •the corner,
of Maria and Victoria' Streets.
The proposed building is expec-
ted to cost $28,000, and will ,be
built of cement block and steel,
With plaster and white stucco fin-
ish. On the site at the present
time are two houses, owned by
Mrs. M. Jordan, Clinton and a Mr.
Barton of Bancroft. These will be
demolished and the new building
will eventually be fitted out with
flower-beds, neatly kept roadways,
ranch-style fence, etc. -
Mr. Livermore reported that
upon visiting neighbours of the
site, he found that they were all
either in -favour of the service
station, or else didn't care what
happened.
"heciuncillon Bridle stateclathat 'at,
present time the by-law did not
give Council the right to 'grant
permission for the building. He
was reminded that one gasoline
outlet had closed in town last
week. Councillor George Beattie
made the motion that the building
be allowed, saying that he under.
stood the houses were no longer,
to be used as dwellings, and the
action' would not reduce the
amount of living quarters now
available in town,
A revised by-law including one
more gasoline outlet will be
brought in at the next council
meeting.
Other building permits brought
the total to $49,300 for the mon-
th. They were for Reg. Smith, ad-
dition, $300; Harvey Johnson, re-
modelling, $400; Reg. ICudmore, re-

a cleared sky for a period of about
15 minutes. Then a second leng-
th of black cloud came up, and
with this one came rain and ex-
ceedingly strong gusts of wind.
As the• storm tore its way east-
ward through the county, it broke
off limbs and branches of trees,
arid flung them many feet. This,
said Mr. Knight was the surpris-
ing thing about the storm, He
said that even on roads where
they had trimmed the trees to
give plenty of clearance, limbs
would be flung across the road to
lodge on the wires and cut off
power service.
Mr. Knight reports driving from
Ingersoll that evening in the wake
of the storm, and saw in one place
near Elginfield, where a barn had
been blown down. This was
where Percy Tucker was trapped
under the barn which fell while
be was milking a cow. From,
there on home to Clinton, ke saw
plenty of evidence that the storm
had been a bad. one.

SINCE WE'RE ENTERING
July.. , sort of the second mile in
1956. . . we are suddenly reminded
of some rather bid news. . . This
is the month that weekly news-
papers all over the country are
facing up to another increase in
newspaper costs. . . Since 1946
when newsprint cost was about
$44 a torr. . . it has risen to about
$180 a tom . . And now the Week-
lies (who 'buy it in the sheet) are
faced with another rise of $10 a
ton. . In comparison subscription
rates which were $2p00 in 1946
have only risen to $3. • . That's
rise in cost of a little over 300
percent, compared with a rise in
revenue_ of only 50 percent.
Weekly newspaper publishers

two days last week the dowdy

attractive building . . As an ex-
reeve of Clinton remarked . .
"You tallow as you travel through
