Clinton Lime Club came in for some praise on Tuesday night from District Governor Harold Forster, Barrie. He had all sta- tistics on the local club. During the October member- ship drive the Clinton club placed first, percentage wise, in the nem- her of new members (eight) for region three, and second in Dist- rict A (343 clubs), The Clinton membership is now 49 members, Average size of clubs in District A is 43. He reminded the local club that they were away above average on monies spent on com- munity betterment. Mr. Forster also had praise for Clinton Lions secretary, town clerk John Livermore. The district governor's address was an around-the-world resume of Lions Clubs in the over 100 countries where Lionism has membership, He spent some min- utes telling of Lions work in Mex- ico. He tad how France and Ger- many have become much friend- lier through Lionism. There are 600 clubs in southern and. central Europe and over 400 clubs in the Scandinavian countries. The Phil- lipines sponsored Lionism in Ja- pan six years ago; there now is 129 clubs, 52 being chartered in the past year. Lionisni is increas- ing in India which now has 54 clubs and promoting unbelievable projects. "Being a district governor in the Lions is no small chore," said Mr. Forster, "for example, this week alone I will attend seven meetings or conferences." His fin- al remark to the Clinton club was: "Do you think your club is doing all it can for your commun- ity?" Mr, Forster was introduced by Duff Thompson and thanked by Herb Bridle. A special guest at the meeting was Don Fulton, the new manag- er of Clinton Lions Arena. He was introduced by Joe Murphy who reported that the arena was now operating and a• staff had been hired. Mitch McAdam 'asked for a count of Grey Cup tickets sold. He requested that all 1640 tickets be sold. All money and unsold tickets are to be turned in at F. B. Pennebaker's store by clos- ing time Friday night. (The Can- adian professional football Grey Cup game between Winnipeg and Hamilton is being played Satur- day afternoon). The Lions annual ladies night has been planned for Tuesday, December 8 at Armstrong's Rest- aurant, Exeter. Lions, .who are unable to attend must notify Ross Middleton or president Beecher Menzies by November 30. O County Council Is Officially Asked To Take Highway 84 County councillors were advis- ed by engineer J. W. Britnell on Monday that the Department of Highways is requesting that the county accept Highway 84 as a county road. This highway joins Hensall to the Blue Water High- way (No. 21) through the village of Zurich. The Department has advised county council that it will maintain the road until March 31, 1960. Also the Ontario Department has been asked by county council to give serious consideration to designating county roads 21 and 12, from Kippen to Wroxeter as a development road. This 11 miles of road is con- sidered necessary as a short cut for traffic travelling north to south In Huron County through Brussels and Seaforth. Also the Department of High- ways is going to ask the county to accept part of Highway 21 near Sanford as a county road, when the new bridge is erected over the Maitland River and the course' of Highway 21 is changed at that point, Since the road committee (headed this year by Reeve Harv- ey Coleman, Stanley Township) is aware that the county road system is too large for the as- sessment in Huron, they are plan- ning to give serious consideration to turning back some lesser trav- elled roads to the townships in which they are situated. Total expense of the road com- mittee 'this year is $1,218,000, Museum Visited Since the Huron Museum was begun nine years ago, 98,208 per- sons have visited it, according to Curator J. H. Neill.

Vote Against The Revocation —HURON CTA COMMITTEE 47-b POR OUR CIULD1IEN Editor, Newe-Record, pear Sir; The greatest and most valu- able asset we have in Huron County is our young people. What is the best for their future wel- fare should be our first consid- eration hi deciding which way we will vote on November 30. It is being stated that the Can- ada Temperance Act is respons- ible for increased 'teen-age drink- ing, juvenile delinquency and bootlegging. The facts do not bear out these statements. The best independent authority in Huron, has stated that there is definitely less 'teen-age drinking in Huron than in counties under the LCA. Mr. A. R, Scott, princi- pal of Goderich District Collegiate for many years, backs up this statement. During his time as principal, the school dances have been trouble-free, so far as drink- ing among students is concerned. Reports of magistrates' courts throughout Ontario reveal many prosecutions in which 'teen-age drinking •and drunken parties a- mong juveniles are involved. 'Re- cent reports in the daily papers of extreme rowdyism in LCA municipalities, with residents af- fraid to walk their own streets, emphasize the freedom of Huron from any such reign of rowdyism from 'teen-age drinking. The on- ly such cases in Huron have been among juveniles from neighbour- ing counties unnder the LCA, who brought their liquor along with them. At a recent trial in Huron, involving 'teen-agers from a coun- ty under LCA, the magistrate stated that from his observation bootleggers are as numerous in counties under the LCA as in Hu- ron and Perth. Back in Premier Hepburn's time, beverage rooms were illeg- ally established i n Goderich. Those persons who were chiefly responsible in bringing in those beverage rooms are now at the head of the campaign to do away with the CPA and again bring in beverage rooms, and also liquor outlets under the LCA. To cover their real motive they express great concern about 'teen-age drinking and drunkenness in pub- lic. One of the main arguments' used by their paid agents who eanvassed the county was, "We want to bring in a law which will protect our young people from 'teenage drinking." Many of those who signed the petition have seen through the hoax and are going to vote against revocation on Nov- ember 30. Huron county has the lowest rate of alcoholism of any county in Ontario yet surveyed — less than half the average for Ontario. If the CTA is voted out, the LCA will automatically take over, and as surely as night follows; day, beverage rooms, liquor stores and other outlets will be established in Huron. Just as surely will there be an increase in the num- ber of alcoholics. It is an estab- lished fact that more liquor out- lets always result in more liquor consumed. It is reasonable to suppose that free sale of beer and liquor under the Liquor Control Act would increase the number of alcoholics in the county to the av- erage rate for Ontario, The pres- ent ratio in Huron is 750 per 100,000 population. More recruits would be needed under the LCA to bring Huron up to par for al- coholics. Most of them would come from among our young men. How many who want to have more prosperity through . freer sale of liquor would like to con- tribute a son to the new list of alcoholics? How' much money would any man need to compen- sate him for an alcoholic son? You may say you haven't a son, or that you know your son will nev- er be an alcoholic, which might be true, but what about your neigh- bor's son? This is 'a responsibility no voter can escape. W.

"A lot of standard milk ship- pers believe that we are taking over their market. This is non- sense. The combined sale of trade- marked Jersey and Guernsey milk amounts to only about ten per- cent of the fluid milk market," said the speaker. George Adair, RR 5, Stratford, was named president of the club for 1960. Thomas Rathwell, RFI. 3, Clinton, is honorary president; Orville Skinner, RR 1, St. Pauls and Thomas Moore, RR 4, Gode- rich are vice-presidents. Directors in Huron County include Harvey Culbert and Ray Fisher, both of RR 6, Goderich; Wilfred Strick- ler, RR 2, Brussels and William Bremner, RR 3, Brussels. Named to represent the club on the Western Ontario Jersey Club board were' Syd Harlow, RR 2, St. Pauls and Ed. Krueger, RR 3, Stratford. Sales agents will be Mr. Harlow and Tom Rathwell.

Option Repeal Com- mittee was held. About 40 inter- ested persons turned out. 3. W. Counter chaired the gathering and explained why such a com- mittee was formed. 'His main point was to put Clinton in the same position as other towns in Huron County in regard to gov- ernment stores — if the CTA is voted out on November 30. Main speaker was' John E. Heekine, chairman of Huron Citi- zens Legal Control Committee, who reviewed his' campaign so far.
