Due to the fact that Monday, November 11, 1957, is set aside for a day of Remembrance, in honour of those who gave their lives in defence of freedom, the opening day for the deer season in Perth, Huron, Bruce and Grey Counties has been set back to Tuesday, November 12, and will close on Friday, November 15. Deer hunting season in these counties, therefore, is November 12, 13, 14 and 15. * * * Pheasants being a general topic in most sporting circle last week- end, remind me of a small duty, that the association would like to see each hunterthat bagged a pheasant in Goderich Township or this surrounding area, advise the Huron Fish and Game Conserva- tion Association here in town. This would be greatly appreciated and will help us to. determine the per- centage of -birds surviving and the approximate amount to be releas- ed in following seasons, * * * • Hunter Safety Program The Hunting Training Course initiated by Ontario involves the training of new hunter applicants in the use of firearms and in the principles and interpretation of The Game and Fisheries Act. Those passing the course will re- ceive certificates of competence signed by certified instructors. This Certificate of competence will entitle the holder to purchase a hunting license. In launching the hunter safety training ;programme; the Lands and Forests Minister • has addres- sed these thoughts to Ontario sportsmen: "Safety through education is the most effective method of re- ducing the accident rate. Safety education has been proved in many fields. It applies to firearms. Re- cognizing this principle, many stat- es in the United States have en- aeted legislation providing for or requiring this training. PUS Considers Sewer Byia and Rcof Water Discussion of the problem of many residence and busipess build- ings draining roof water into the' sanitary sewers in town was brought up again this week in the regular meeting a the PUC, Aris- ing put of a periodic report given, by the Superintendent, 3. Rands, the topic brought out varied com- ments as in the past. Though. the 'by-law under which the sanitary sewers were installed more than a dozen years ago, def- initely pronounces that this prac- tice is illegal, there are consid- erable violations, and none have been Prosecuted, As Chairman W. E. Perdue pointed out, "perhaps this is due to the fact that at one time the town hall was drained in that manner, and a good deal of the downtown buildings stili are." The superintendent told of a resident in tewn, "and a good churchman, too," who had told Mr. Rands; "Well, I can't r;un roof water into the sewers, but I can run it into a small tank, and then let the overflow go -into the cellar drain from there." Apparently this prohibitive clause in the by-law seemed not too necessary when 'the, ,sewers were first installed, but since then the load has increased, and the service is in danger of becoming over -taxed. In that case, the com- nlissionerrs feel that something should be done about the roof water situation. Hydro, water and sewerage ser- vices were .authorized into the new IGA atore on Mary Street; the two houses moved from Victoria Street onto Kirk Street opposite the Legion Hall; the Lloyd Batkin lot next to Harry Scbellenberger's new home on Princess Street and to Doug Kennedy's lot on Dunlop Street west of Roy Mann's home. Increased costs in wages, hydro and debentures indicated an early need for increasing rates paid for water by the RCAF Station Clin- ton. PUC members agreed that action on this matter should be taken at once, since every day Money was being lost, Though this was the last meet- ing the FlUC before nomination night, the subject, of whether or not present commissioners intend- ed to remain for nomination did not come up officially. This year W. E. Perdue and H. E. Hartley are completing their two-year term. It will be necessary either to re-elect thein, or to elect two new commissioners for a two-year term, Home Town Industry OFten Proves Best The value of home-grown in- dustries is very often overlooked by some communities in search for new industry, Fred W, Simmering, a leading United States planning and development expert told dele- gates from four counties at a regional meeting of Mid -Western Ontario Development Association, held at Stratford, Wednesday, Oc- tober 23. . He told the representatives from Huron, Perth, Waterloo and Wel- lington Counties that often the answer to industrial expansion lies in a municipality's own back- yard. Mayor W. J. Miller was a delegate from Clinton. He stressed that new industries that might prove harmful to the community should not be sought. "In looking for new industries don't make the mistakes of the past" he said. "Some might upset your community and disrupt your way of life." He suggested that communities should start 'thought clinics'—dis- cussion groups that would spark a chain reaction of public response to local problems. He said that some of the untried, unheard ideas of the public might produce an- swers that had long baffled the experts. "Home-grown industries are of- ten the right industries," he said, and he cited an instance of when he conducted a survey at the re- quest of an industrial commission- er and found a special type of grain elevator being used in the district. He took the idea to the commissioner and soon the town was manufacturing that type of machinery for the surrounding area. Home-grown industries were the "safe" ones. They were inclined to be smaller, they did not have a disrupting influence on community growth or create labour unrest. They were, if properly developed, Fieldman Sees Beef Producers Are Unhappy Over Prices Received (Be J. Carl Hemingway) Huron County Beef Producers are not happy this fall, The prices are three to four dollars less than Fast year for finished cattle while the price for feeder cattle is a- bout the satire as fat cattle. In order to- get the very best information possible the County Executive has waited until they could hear. Ralph Bennett, Chief,` Livestock Marketing, Canadian Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa. Mr, Bennett is reported to be the best informed on the beef situation of any man in Can- ada. Fortunately he has agreed to cone to Londcsboro Hall, on Friday evening, November 8. There will be a beef dinner at 6.30 with the meeting at 8.30. If you have questions I think this would be the best place to get them answered, For further details contact your Township beef director. Enjoy 3/ourself I attended a 12.30 dinner meet- ing reeently„ which was held in the Country Club of a neighbour- ing city, After dinner the chairman an- nouneed a five minute recess but said for obvious reasons the club bet would be elosed with after the tneettng. Apparently he felt that alcoholic beverages would not improve the meeting.. The meeting ended with the e1 sing attnourieekettrt that the bar Was now open and he urged the meta to enjoy theenselves. All the men present had arrived . by car. I wonder how the alcoholic bev- erages would affect the drivers of those cars on the way home? It was a good meeting in the interests of a worthy cause but I wonder if it was as important as the lives those "drinks before driving" might destroy, Would our car insurance companies ap- prove of this procedure?
