Last Thursday the Clinton team tools an easy 11-4 win over Exeter at the local arena. Ron Livermore led the team with six goals, scoring all four Clinton goals in the first period and got two goals in 15 second's in the second period, Bob Jones scored all Exeter goals. The following evening in Hen- sell in a carelessly refereed game, Clinton gave Hensall two goals in the first period, then went out and scored four in a row to win 4-2. Then on Tuesday night the highly-touted Zurich Juveniles came to Lions Arena and were setback to the tune of nine goals to three. Clinton had run up a 7-0 lead (five in the first period) before Don O'Brien's boys broke into the scoring summary. Little Paul Draper led the Clinton team with three goals; his centreman Ron Livermore got two. The Pickett-Allen- Cummings line continued to keep pace with the first line, scoring four goals, Paul Pickett getting two and his linemates one each. Bell Murney was again the strong man on .Clinton's de- fence. Bruce Cooper was broug- ht up from the Bantam team and played well on defence as well as a few turns up forward.

Fair Legacy For Scholarships (continued from rage 1) no need 'for a Better Business Bureau. His word was as good as his bond, or better." Asked if a picture of Mr. Fair existed, Mr, Fitzsimons said, "not likely, What ho accomp- lished in his lifetime was, quiet- ly done, He was not ostenta- tious. He had no great amount of education himself, and it was one of his major regrets," "1 never knew him to do a mean thing," said Mr. Fitz- slalom. "He helped families during the depression by never keeping book's from children, just for want of money. He was an. outstanding churchman and faithful Mason, "Of course," Mr. Fitzsimons went on, "He was not of my generation, but was a contem- porary of the late Dr. J. W. Shaw, and the late Torr Rance. Both of them made bequests which helped the community, by providing funds for the nur- ses residence and the hospital." When announcement of Mr. Fair's purchase of the book- store was made, this was the description in the- Huron News- Record, March 27, 1895: Mr. Fair is well and favourably known to News-Record readers as a gentleman of probity and strict business principles." G. Morley Counter, former postmaster at the Clinton Post Office, also worked for Mr. Fair starting in 1904. He, too, comments on the freshness of the advertising copy used in the store promotions. We look- ed up one published in 1905 just before February 14: "Var- iegated Valentines with Vern- acular Versifications Vivid and Vital. The kind expressive of LOVE 'becoming more popular every year. The kind expres- sive of RIDICULE, always in demand. Kanadian Komic Posit Card Valentine: something new, very interesting. We have all the new things in this line right down to the minute. Pr- ices 1 cent to 65 cents." Pictures kept to this day by G. R. McEwan, in his of- fice at the present bookstore, show a counter display of the frilly lacy valentines popular at that -time. Gas light and electric light, both were instal- led. The Clinton Electric Comp- ang provided power only until 9.30 at night. Then the gas lights were turned on. Mr. McEwan recalls. Mr. Fair telling him that he had always wanted to operate • a movie house, and had perhaps felt frustrated by the daily round of selling books, paper, pencils and magazines. The store is quite a bit the same as it was in Mr. Fair's time, except that the ceiling has been lowered; the staircase moved, partitions at the back changed. Several of -those we inter- viewed recalled that toys were not sold in the W. D. Fair store only at Christmas time. Mr. Counter remembered tak- ing them out of storage up- stairs' every year, then after Christmas, helping to carefully repack those not sold, Mr. Fair told Mr. McEwan that the only time he actually did any toy business was on Christmas Eve. He often stayed until two in the morning Christmas Day, waiting on customers, to make sure that every child could be made happy that day. The standard signature at the foot of the W. D. Fair ad- vertisements in the News-Rec- ord and the New Era, was: Nordheimer Pianos; Agents Parker's Dye Works, W. D. Fair Co., Often the cheapest, Always the Best." Wall-papers was a n ot h e r staple of the Fair store. Ac- cording to recollections of Jab- ez Rands, superintendent of the Clinton Public Utilities Com- mision, who also worked at the Fair store 'after school, at one bane the entire wallpaper stock was sold to a partnership of Woods and Tiner.

The Huron County Junior Farmers quartet—Larry Wheat- ley, William and Kenneth Camp- bell, all of RR 1, Dublin, and George Turner, Rrt 3, Seaforth —scored 86 points, one more than Waterloo County's entry and two more than the Perth County quartet, which took third place. The Huron singers received a $40 cash award donated 'by the Bank of Montreal. lit was the first award they had received since they were formed three years ago, Dr. Roy Fenwick, Toronto, was adjudicator of the competition. A mixed choir from Huron County also took part in a non- competitive program. The singers were accompan- ied by song leader Lyle Ham- mond and.accompanist Carol Pepper, both of Seaforth, as well as Huron County associate agriculttiral representative Don- ald Grieve and departinetit agrieultUre h oIIn e economist Mrs. Dale IVfriller, both of Clite toe. men were going into wall-pap- or and paints in a big way, and their store was the pres ent Galbraith Radio and TV (formerly the PI,TC), Mr. Rands has vivid recollections of help- ing to take the wall-paper stocks back to W.

Then they lived in the cottage at the corner of Town- send and Kirk Streets. Many Clintonians will re- member the famous "Reducing Sales" at Fair's bookstore. He used to start out a $5.00 win- dow, with items worth about that much. Each day, new items would be -added. Each day the price would come down two cents, or sometimes more. Wat- ching the window and the, changing merchandise was a fascinating thing, Youngsters became especially interested when the prices got dawn under a quarter. The day the price dropped to one cent, the little ones would be right in the win- dow, scrambling to get some cherished article before some other youngster got it. Great was the disappointment, of course, for some, when they waited patiently for the price to come within range, only to find that an article they want- ed had been bought by some- one else. G. Morley Counter recalls, that he was probably the sec- ond boy who worked for Mr. Fair. The first one was probab- ly Clarence Shepherd, Others on staff were Miss Clara Steeps who later married Gus Collier and Miss Hattie Holloway who became the first Mrs. Ike Rat- tenbury. "Mr. Fair probably appeared abrupt to many," said Mr. Counter. "He smoked a pipe incessantly, with the bowl tamped with plug tobacco shav- ed fine.

Norman Counter, now owner of Counter's Jewellery on Isaac Street, worked for Mr. Fair after his brother Morley. "Mr. Fair was a fine man. He worked terrific hours," recalls Mr. Counter. lee spent his even- ings on his books, and made the business his entire life." Norman recalls a full eclipse of the sun which occurred one morning about 8 o'clock. He and the rest of the staff locked the front door, went out the back and upon the roof, right out to the corner of what is now Pic- kett and Campbell Ltd. When Mr. Fair came to work, he found the door locked, and no staff. He came on through and up on the roof himself, and stayed to watch the effect of the eclipse. At that time, the early 1920s, Mr. Fair owned the block of stores from the present Mc- Ewan's right around to Pinger's Restaurant,
