The name comes from a steep ridge of gravel which goes through the countryside at this point, two miles east of Highway 4, Conces- sion 8-9, This bridge (third built by the township in recent years over the Maitland River) was begun in 1958 by the Seaforth Concrete Company, and was finished in 1959. Cost was about $18,000 for the structure which is of reinforc- ed poured cement, 134 feet long, 24 feet wide, Consulting engineer was R. IVL Dawson, Stratford. The new bridge replaces a steel one put up in 1903. It is under- stood there was a timber bridge before that, and possibly two more bridges prior to that. There are four more bridges in the township, which will be re-built in the future as part of a long- range plan, to replace all of them. The Hogsback bridge is be- tween the Roy Bros. farm on the west and the Hugh Flynn farm on the east. Following the official opening the councillors and other officials enjoyed dinner in the Hotel Clin- ton to mark the event.

A camp committee was formed, and it was requested that each Ladies Auxiliary nominate a mem- ber to attend all camp- meetings and take back results to 'the aux- iliary. In order to keep up the division a grant according to the number of Guides is to be sent to the Division commissioner to carry on the work, At the close of the meeting a delicious lunch was served by Mrs. Lavender, 0 Geo.

M, McDonnell, all of Clinton. Initiation Will definitely take place at the November 10 meet- ing. Howard Brunsdon and Joe Mur- phy reported that a new 60 h.p. motor had been ordered for the plant at the Lions Arena, and that an arena manager had been advertised for. Treasurer Prank Pennebaker said that about $480 had been realized from a recent club project, to go toward the above expense at the arena. Lea Ball, health and welfare chairman, reported on the forma- tion of the Clinton Association for Retarded Children Monday ev- ening. Both he and Bert. Gray ask- ed the Lions to consider helping this group. Mr. Ball will be the club's representative at a district Crippled Children's meeting on November 5 here in Clinton, Mitch. McAdam urged the Lions to speed up their ticket sales 'on the they Cup draw. This is an annual fund-raising project of the club. Among the accounts passed at the meeting was over $400 to Woodeden Crippled Children's Camp, near London, for four children from the Clinton area, who attended damp there this past saintlier, Retarded Children's Association Formed (Continued Front Page One) educable in regular schools. "Service Clubs have done a ter- rific work in assisting us to get funds, Their work will stand as an everlasting memorial in the history of our association," said Mr. Kirk. Besides the schools, the Associa- tion sets up summer camps, at which retarded children are taught skills, and enjoyments in the out-of-doors. They are taught to swim, dramatics, roller skat- ing, bowling, etc. In the population of Ontario, there should. be 8 to 9 thousand retarded children. As soon as hos- pital schools are opened for them, they are filled and a waiting list exists, Mr. Kirk told his listeners that there would soon be three clinics in Ontario—one of these in, the Beck sanitarium, London. Purpose of these clinics is to have a place where parents can bring their child for diagnosis, It is expected that the Beck school will be reno- vated by the end of November, and then this phase of the work will begin. Then after about six months, arrangements will be completed for short stay care, in which 'the mother can live'at Beck with her child, and receive in- struction in how to care for .her own child. Counselling service will be set up in connection with the clinic for the benefit of parents who wish to keep their children with them. The speaker asked for patience and understanding with the pro- gress of the plan. "There is no Pattern for this kind of work," he said. "We have to feel our way". Mrs. Walmire, teacher of ;the retarded children's school at Gode- rich, invited anyone interested to visit her classroom, She instructs seven children ranging from five to 17 years; six girls 'and one boy. Two of these are taken to Gode- rich every morning from Clinton, by one of their mothers. One child comes from the rural area be- tween here and the county town, Mrs. Walimire has never taught in a regular classroom, but has great sympathy for the children, since a member of her own fam- ily was retarded. - Immediate need of the Clinton Assaciation will be for members and for financial assistance. Mem- bership fee was' set at $1.00 and 50 cents of this goes to the Ont- ario, Association.. Greatest expense at the moment appears to be for transportation. It is expected that the Clinton Association will attempt to assist with the transportation problems of going to the Goderich school, at least until one or two 'more children ate located in town and surrounding area, so that a school in Clinton would be justified. Anyone wishing more informa- tion, should get ein touch with any member of the executive. A film was shown of the re- tarded children's camp at Bel- wood, just a few miles from El- mira. Bud Hayter was projection- ist. Formation 02. tie' asso- elation is due to the many hours of work put in by the Kinette Club, one of their number, Mrs. John Wilson, recently Moved to Orangeville, and to V. Finnie, re- cently come to Clinton from Gode- rich.
