Comment from . the board was that the licensing of a Goderich station would not— at this time -"assure the resi- dents of Goderich of satisfac- tory local service and would endanger the standard of ser- vice in Huron County gener- ally."

Witnesses Must Install • Drain Decides Council Harold McNally, appearing before Clinton Town Council on Monday night was advised that the drain in front of the new Jehovah Witness hall on Pugh's Terrace was an award dain, and the town was not re- sppnsible for making it a cov- ered drain. Speaking for .the congrega- tion, Mr. 1VlcNally had asked that the .town put in a cross ing the width of a roadway, leading intothe hall. Then the, congregation's money would go further in snaking .a cover- ed -in drain across the width of the property. He noted that the open ditch was not safe. Mr. McNally had apparently talked to various councillors, and got various answers before he made his appeal to council. Councillor George Rumball, head of ,the public works com- mittee reported that he under- stood that the Jehovah Witness congregation was " ready to in- stall the drain at their own cost. In making request, re uest, Mr McNally made it clear ,that he wanted only what was suitable or possible on the part of the town. Clerk John Livermore reported to the meeting that the drain in question was an award drain, and the town was responsible only to keep it an open ditch. Mr. McNally was advised to take the suggestion of the town engineer that they install a 24 -inch drain. Councillor Herbert Bridle warned that the congregation should investigate the situation Carefully, and install proper arched tile, because they would be responsible for keeping it clear through the years. "It will save you money in the long run," said Mr. Bridle, Announce Results WOCM Tests In Piano and Theory The Western Ontario Conser- vatory of Music has announced the names of successful candi- dates in recent examinations.
