"Last one in's a tadpole!" was the shout, as these young lads

of the youngsters, but was refreshing to most of them,

Well satisfied With a job well done so far, R. e. "Bud"
Schoenhals, overall chairman in charge of the building of the
stwilimaning pool, was ready for a swirn.lieneelf on Saturday. The
pore which measures 100 x 35 feet, ie expected to cost $35,000
when eomplete, including bathehouse. To date the pool has cost
approximately $26,000„and an additional $6,000 at least, will be
needed to complete the bath house, landscaping, etc.„ next year.
That's Clarence Neilans cautiously entering the pool at the
shallow end, accompanied by hieyoong daughter. Elven with helpharele to guide her, however, the Ming lady discovered the
water just too told, and was glad to be carried out again.

Retiring Pair
With Silver Trays
Two veitenan firemen who retir-
ed from the Clinton Vounteer Fire
Brigade at the end of June were
presented with mementos in ap-
preciation of their Serviee, by their
fellow members of the brigade last
Friday night.
Alex F. Cudmoreewho has serv-
ed 44 years, with the brigade, re-
ceived a silver mug with the words
engraved, "For services rendered, -
1913 to 1957", Mr. Cudtmore, who
is 70 years old, still has a good
many interests to look after. He is
a member of the „Clinton Public
School Board (Wag chairman for a
number of years); member of the
Clinton Cemetery Board; treasur-
er of St. Andrew's Presbyterian

Besides this he is a great "keeper
af bees" and has a long record of
goad honey. He'ireoalle that. 30
years ago, honey resell he entered
en a competitiou*,* England, wan
first prize. "And it was not as
good as the honey we harvested
this year, either," he says.
The second presentation was
made to Theo Frernlin, who has
been- with the local brigade far
same years; his service years axe
engraved similarly on a duplicate
silver mug,
Frank Dixon explained the pre-
sentation, which was macleby Fire

Two other men are due to retire
from the brigade at the end of
the year. They are George Hanley
and Frank Dixon.
Retirement of the quartet was
"made necessary by a new regula-

beginning of this year, when the
town council passed a by-law lim-
iting age of firemen to 60 years.
Triple Birthday
Party Marks
8ist Birthday
A. rare occasion for Clinton, and
perhaps in Most towns, was a
triple birthday party held on
Tuesday night at the home of
eilayor W. J. Miller, to celebrate
the 8lst birthday of Ed. Gibson.
His ,birthday was on August 12.
The mayor's birthday was also
on August 12 and the mayor's son-
in-law, Willard 'Aiken, was cele -
Crating his birthday on August 13.
Nine neighbours attended, in-
cluding Thomas Hellman, Leslie
13 ell. Charles Wise'Theo Frernlin,
Clarence Carmel', Ed. Dale, Jack
Sutter, Walter C. Newcombe and
Wilbur Welsh, .,m.aking a round
dozen in all,
Refreshments, included seed-
wiches and dandelion wine (re-
ported to be the best ever), Pre^
vided by the elder eelelbeant, Ed.
Gibson. A delicioue angel food
cake also Was provided .by M.
Dunbar,
(TWenty-seven candles oti the
cake are purported to reeresent
2/ years; twice 27 for
the Mayor's age, and thrice 27 for
mr, Gibson.) It may be said in
passing that Ed GibSon blew them
all out with one "poof",
The pregrara consisted of five
recitations given by Mr. Gibeoh,
and of eourse, plenty of male
neighbourly conversation. At 1.30
Wednesday morning, the- party
ended daring the heavy Shower
Which ended the current dry spell.

Sights. Comet In
Northwestern Sky
Late Wed. Night
Norman Fitzsimone reports that
last night he was able to see a
comet in the sky to the northwest.
The sight was called to his atten-
tion by Ludford, traveller with
a London firm, who first noticed
it while at the Drive -In Theatre.
Together they watched the phere
ornenen from a vantage point on
Vinegar Hill (Albert Street) and
at about 11 o'clock, it was quite ,
visible to the naked eye.
Then they returned to town, ob-
tained binoculars, and went out
the 16th concession, where they
watched it for some time. Mr.
Fitzsimons reported that when on
the 16th (assuming the highway to
be at 12 o'clock) the comet was
at 1.30, arid slightly above the
horizon. '
The men believe it to be the
same astral body sighted some
weeks ago by a viewer in Czech-
oslovakia, and more recently at
Ann Anbour, Mich., where a pic-
ture was taken of it.
