J. Davies, assist a of superintendent of secondary schools for Ontario. Chairnnan of the meeting was Robert Welsh, RR 2, Bayfield. Charles S. MacNaughton, MLA for Huron, urged that the boards "move quickly, if you are interested in this thing. There will be a great demand for this, • and govern- ments have a habit of running out of money. If you act in haste, I'll guarantee ;the Minist- er of Education and the De- partment will go all the way with • you," Mr. MacNaughton had the opinion of Dr. S. D. Rendall, BA, superintendent of second- ary education, that "The Huron area is a natural for this kind of thing," (meaning a compos- ite school, offering a variety of courses of vocational nature as We]i as general course and commercial training.) The boaran agreed to hold their own monthly meetings; consult with their own coun- cils, and 'come back to Clinton for a second nieeti ng in three weeks, ready to consider 'the matter further. The date sect is Tuesday, May 9, Involved are Goderich. and Clinton Collegiate Institutes, Exeter, Seaforth and Wineraan high schools, As Mr. Davies, the speaker from Toronto said', he is one of Extra Help Needed At Driver Centre Dernands for the services of Murray Holmes, driver exam - finer here at the Clinton Ex- amination Centre, have brought about the need for extra help. Gordon Henwood, 1 amiiton, has been appointed office clerk temporarily, and according to Charles S. 1VIacNaughton, MLA for Huron, it is expected that a permanent clerk will' be ap• pointed shortly. There alai is the possibility Of a second examiner being all= pointed, Extra requests for exarrtina- tion for driving licences are probably because of the spring season, when matte driving jobs are opel ;and ' more pleasure driving is d* ie. five assistarats to Dr. Rendall. At present the Canadian gov- errunenit has offered a 100 per- cent grant for construction, furnishing and equipping such a building. For the purpose of receiving the grant, the area of Huron County would be con- sidered large enough, with suf- ficient potential in students, to qualify for that grant. Offer of this grant expires in 1963. He explained that one school board would have to take the initiative, be prepared to be re- sponsible for the sehool, and More Members In Concert Group The community concert membership campaign staged last week was again a great success in Clinton, resulting in 19 •new members being added to Clinton's already substantial membership.

Newcombe. then do a selling job upon neighbours, so that a long term agreement could be entered in- to with the object of obtaining enough support that the school could be maintained. "A tediical course," said Mr. Davies, "is a challenging one. Lt takes just :about es good 'a boy to complete one, as it does for a general course. Employ- ers want workers with more general education. A trunk driver to -day require know- ledge in book-keeping, and is responsible for large sums of money, and for expensive equipment. "Courses in, technical schools are changing with demand," went on the speaker. "No long- er onger do we have a carpentry course—because too much time is spent on cabinet making. So we are .planning a course to be called construction, where work which can actually fit into a job rater on is ,being taught.

Lane will leave to - morrow for Montreal, where be will receive from the Senate of the Presbyterian T.heoloeical College an honor- ary degree of Doctor of Div- inity (D.D.). The Rev. 1VIr. Lane last week received the scarlet hood which is worn by .a. Doctor of Div- inity from this college. The Huron -Maitland Presbytery of which he has been clerk for the past 11 years, presented the .hood et the regular meet- ing of the presbytery in Luck- now.

LANE Ratepayers Ask Councils Reconsider Fire Set-up More than one hundred residents (some of them bedridden) at Huronview, (the Huron County home) were threatened with being cut off from fire protection by a trained fire brigade last week, as county council officials and members of the ex- ecutive committee of the town of Clinton locked horns over a matter of the retaining fee payable. Last Friday word was receiv- ed in the office of the town clerk, John Livermore, by reg- istered letter that the .County of Huron committee of the county council would agree to the increased rates for retain- ing fee for fire protection for the Huron County Home (Hur- onview), For ten years the rate has been $50. With a capital in- vestment of 525,000, the 20 - man fire department in Clin- ton was considered by the town council to be worth more than that in return for accepting certain responsibilities with re- gard to fire protection of the home. The increase now agreed to is $125 per year, There is a Mrs. Chesney Resigns Tuckersmith Clerk Job A special meeting of the Tuckersmith Municipal Council was held on Saturday, April 15, in the office of the clerk, Ws. Cora Chesney, RR 4$,Sea- forth, to consider her res gna- tion as elerketreasurer, tax col» lector, relief ad'ministrator and Council In Action Note: In error, one line was printed inoorreotly in last week's report of the sale of a Wellington Street lot to J.

BartlifFs, A Clinton Institution, Re -Opens Frim the time youngsters in Clinton don their first Ha11ow- e'en costume for "trick ar treat" and find that Bartliffs Restaurant can be counted up- on to come up with a tray of goodies, the habit of "Let's go to Bartliffs" becomes a strong one. Right through the first pur- chase of bubble gum and like assorted treasures; to the cof- fee break; ar cup of tea with a more or less forbidden choco* late eclair, the restaurant is the tirtte-honoured place to eat in Clinton. At Christmas time it is a treat to see the rather surpris- ed and awed look of a new salesman in the area, When he finds a eompl nnentary piece of Cht'istroas cake and a cookie provided with his 'after-dinner Coffee during the month of 13e- cember, Local folk have become at, custonied to the personal friendly Service at Bartliffg Which is Sust a little out of the ordinary. just as people used to say at the CNE, "Meet me at the Fountain," those who come to Clinton, or Clintonians on a trip down town, often plan to Meet at Bartliffs, It is the bus stop, the meet- ing place, the place of good food, and a friendly relaxed at- mosphere, When the wraps come off the "new" restaurant to -morrow, dozens of folk who have Missed this dining and meeting place, will be dropping in for a coffee, and to resume them habit of eating at Bartliffs. It was 55 years age, back 1906 that Harry Bartliff began his bakeshop and restaurant. He operated it until 1946 When his Sons purchased the busi- ness, Mr. Bartliff was a jovial well -liked person, With a good eye to a thriving business, but always time for a friendly word to euston'iers. He passed away in 1946, The tradition of friendly service has carried on under' the direction of the sins,. who 3 1051 formed a limited Cbrnpany and the combined bakeshop and restaurant is net Bartliffs I3 akery Limited. Elliott, the eldest, has the breads and rolls department in his special care, Through the years extensions have been built on the back of the Albert St- reet building, and the depth is now 125 feet, Behind this 18 tthe parking area, where staff cars are plac- ed during the day, and at night, six delivery trucks are parked, Each one is equipped with a refrigeration unit, in which ice cream is kept for delivery along with bread, cakes and rolls, Each night the temperature of these units is brought down to below freezing temperature through special conirections i>tz the parking lot. Douglas is in charge of pas- tries and fancy goods, It is his Skilled direction which. turns ant dozens of cakes dec- orated with eggs and chickens at baster time; dozens special- ly decorated pieces. to the tun. tomer't order; wedding cakes in three, four or rn more tiers; bu dreds Of Chocolate taster eggs, babbles, rabbits, elephants, chickens, etc., for sale prior to Easter each year; specialty goods before every holiday, and a multitude of small tarts, cookies, etc., for catering jobs. Bruce Is the Bartliff who is perhaps better known to more customers, for his task is the operation of the restaurant. The restaurant is well-known to the many sales people who find Clinton a handy spot to stop for lunch. The restaurant staff has ten nietebare, and not the least of these is Dorothy Bartliff (now Mrs, Alfred Crozier) who locks after the kitchen during a regular daily shift, and is to a large extent responsible for the changing scene in the res- taurant as the seasons come and go, Tall pussy willows in Season from the garden of C. V. Cooke appear every year, Potted plants when they are at their best, Artificial flowers ,ate rarified for wiridovv display or elsewhere an the store, All of these have kept the retaturattt friendly place throughout the years, direct telephone connection to Clinton from the County Home. Also, the council of the Town- ship of Goderich agreed to pay the requested increase in re- taining fee of $200. The town- ships surrounding the town have paid $100 a year up until now. Hullett Township council had previously agreed to the increase in rate. Neither Tuckersmith nor Stanley township councils agreed to the increase in fee. They intend to build up the de- partment at Brucefield, and sharing costs, will use this pro- tection for the northern parts of • the townships. Clinton has ceased giving fire protection to properties in these municipali- ties. In addition to the retaining fee, a charge of $75 for the firut hour and $25 for each subsequent hour is made when the town department is called out. Half of this amount is paid by the town to the fire department. A deadline of April 15 had been set, after which the town was prepared to suspend pro- tection in those municipalities, and in the county home, for which no agreements had been made. The county council beat the deadline by one day, and the Goderich Township coun- cil made its decision on Friday night of last week. Last night about 25 resi- dents of Stanley and Tucker - smith townships along Highway 4 met in the council chamber, Clinton Town Hall, along with Reeve Harvey Coleman and Mayor W. J. Miller, to consid- er fire protection. (continued on page 12) Here an May 4 ROM. LEsTER B.
