A. "Red" Garon, energetic owner of the plant explained that if the machines were kept operating for ten hours each day, they would handle all the dry cleaning to be done in Hu- ron County. Mr. Garon is installing the new machines in an addition to his plant, which will double the floor space.. This new addi- tion will house the dry clean- ing plant, and also will pro- vide a two-deck installation to store clothing in off seasons. Housekeeping Gets Attention Of Town Council Spring house cleaning fever struck the council of Clinton on Monday night as they brought a record meeting (on- ly an hour long) to a close. They took the housekeeping of the town hail ,and park to task, and suggested a number of im- provements. Included were a cleaning jab on the venetian blind's of the police office; waxing of the new tile floor in the police of- fice, and picking up' scrap pap- er in the library park. Also Councillor George Awn- ball, as the only member of the Kinsmen Club on Council, was •asked to convey apprecia- tion to the club for the fine use over the years of the trash cans on main streets, and sug- gest that one or two More of them would come in handy. Mayor Bridle answered a suggestion that the new street name SignpoSts be painted, re- marking that a businessmen's association was in the making for Clinton, and this could work Into a fine project for that group, This storage space will be 3,- 600 cubic feet. Arrangements are being made to install cool- ing plant, to make this •a cold storage space. Laundry facilities will be kept in the present plant, which is connected to the addi- tion by a covered breezeway. The receiving and collecting centre will also remain in the present building. The addition provides for a truck entrance, so that •loading of delivery vans can lie made inside. Since opening for business ten years ago, Mr. Garon has completely changed his dry cleaning equipment three tim- es. The new machines are the first ones off the production line at the factory where they are built in the United States. Main feature is that all of the solvent is completely purified by distillation after every load of clothes is put through. A filter, with glass front, allows the operator to view the sol- vent at all times, in order to make sure that it is complete- ly clean. Result of this modern equip- ment is that workers inn the plant will have a healthier place to work, and odors on clothing will be eliminated. en- tirely. $40 Fine Here For Disturbing Magistrate Glen Hays in court here on Wednesday mor- ning, July 13, fined Martin Van Hees, Gordon Street, Clin- ton, $40 On a charge of 'caw- ing a disturbance in a public place.

Biggest project for the Kins- Nearly 300 hog producers met in Toronto last Wednes- day, including a. full represen- tation. of directors from Huron County, and resolved to seek repeal of the ten cent a hog reduction in the service charge paid by producers to the On- tario Hog Producers Market- ing Board. The recommendations made by Price, Waterhouse and Co., Toronto, accounting firm, in- cluded this ten cent reduction. More 'details concerning their 'recommendations appear else- where in this issue. Dr. D. D. Monieson, assoc- iate professor of marketing and foreign commerce at the University of Pennsylvania, at- tacked the Price, Waterhouse report, "It was a bungling, fumbling attempt by the Farm Products Marketing Board to get rid of obstacles in their way, namely the leadership of this aggressive association," he claimed. "This ten cents off is probably the cheapest bribe in history." Dr. Monieson is research ad- , vigor to the OHPA.

Charles, Bristow, Lucknow, was elected to succeed Mr. Epps and will take office following ratification of his appointment at the provincial convention to be held in Hamilton next March. Twelve of the 17 societies comprising the district were represented at the meeting with 85 signing the register. In the ne wibusiness following the election, Mr. Epps suggested a resolution be presented to the provincial board of directors: that District Eight, which ex- tends from EXeter in the south to Tobermory in the north, be divided. This resolution was accepted with an additional suggestion that in the event the Department of Agriculture, Horticultural Branch, should see fit to divide the district, the newly appointed director, Mr. Bristow, Lucknow, be the director for the south half, and Mr. Fenton, Tara, runner-up in the election, be director for the northern section. This sugges- tion was accepted. Mr. Bris- tow extended an invitation to hold the 1961 annual meeting hr Lucknow, which was accept- ed. Russell Gimme, previncial secretary, stated in his brief address, "Increased member- ship in horticultural Societies is impertant. Most societies are comprised of two groups of members, One group who are willing to work end the other group who are willing to let them.
