Though it's a rather dull cool spot right now with 'thapallicl sun of November shining and the
cruel cold winds blowing through the park, this picture of the Clinton Community Svvirorning Pool
radiates hope for fun and frolic through the' warm clays- of next eummer. Just elose your eyes about
half way and imagine tanned little youtaters and sparkling clean water, and the all,seeing lifeguards
making the place safe for them all. That's millet the money of Minton and the district around -
the town is doing for their young folk. It' will take quite a lot more money' yet to make it a com-
plete pool—but nearly every organization in Clinton is carrying on some kind of campaign to make

Transport Board
Grants Muirphy
Needed Licence
• The Traniport Board, Toronto,
hag brought downaa decision fol-
lowing a hearing some weeks ago;
which favours th bro4 Board's
decision to accept a tender of J.
Murphy for an additional bus
route. •
Mr. Murphy has been operating
buses for the school for some
years. This fallawhen tenders were
called for the contract usually tak-
en up by Jack Elliott for a route
of 204 miles a day, was consider-
ed too high, and re -tenders were
called. This time, though Mr. El-
liott's tender was one cent a mile
lower; fa 'total of $11,016) it was
still higher than two others re-
ceived, from S. Johnson ($9,975)
and from J. Murphy ($9,500) -
The school board accepted the
lowest tender. Then Mr. Elliott
,contested the issuance of the re-
quired extra license to Mr. M,ur-
phy. A. hearing went before the
Transport Beard, with several
Minton men going down to Tor-
onto to take part.
The decision of the Transport
Board is opposite to one they made
following a similar situation which
