THERE ARE TWO SETS OF
eye glasses in the News-Record
office which have been here for
some time . . . one set arrived
here about 1950. and so far
there have been no claimers . . .
The other set came to our office
just after a snowstorm last winter
. . and there have been no
claimers for those either . . . Now,
if someone does not lay claim to
these items in a short time . . .
we're going to send them off to
• India . . The_Clinton Lions Club
is taking up the cause locally . . .
and all used eye glasses they can
find will be collected and sent off

igate further into the situation

Opinions expressed regarding
meter installations were:
Reeve Miller opposed the move,
saying that it was rushing things
to ask for action at Tuesday's
meeting. He asked what was
meant by the business section,
and was told it would be the same
area, now contemplated for two-
hour parking.
Councillor George Rumball said
he felt it was action to move two
or three people who parked on
main street from morning to night.
He felt that if meters were put
in down town, they should be put
in front of every business place
in town. Are we doing this to
raise money? asked Councillor
Rumball.
Deputy Reeve Melvin Crich
claimed he would put a nickel in
the meter outside his barbershop
every hour, so that customers
Could park free there. He did not
favour taking the first inove, nor
Was he in favour of balloting that
night on the question.
Councillor Donald Symons saw
meters as the practical step. First
we had to consider the two-hour
parking, meters seem to be better,
and "will solve our parking' pro-
blem".
