Work Toward
Rental Homes
For Clinton Folk
Last night R. B. Bradley,
assistant director of the Hous-
ing Branch of the Department
of Planning and Development,
met with members of town
council and Tom Steepe and
Douglas Freeman of the Hous-
ing Authority, to explain pro-
cedure to obtain more subsid-
ised housing for the town.
Mr. Bradley showed pictures
of housing put up under the
Federal -Provincial partnership
across the province, and indi-
cated that any further housing
in Clinton. would be based on
the result of a survey to dis-
cover the need' for such hous-
ing. Thendecision would be
reached regarding the size of
homes, and type of structure
to be put up, as well as the
number of homes.
The department must be as-
sured' of receiving 'tenants, and
requests for 20 homes must be
received before they will build
ten.
In all probability, indicated
Mr. Bradley, 'the homes built
in Clinton would be of the du-
plex variety.
Council's first step, which
will be undertaken immediat-
ely, according to Mayor Wil=
liar J. Miller, is to ask for a
survey to be made of the need
for housing in town.

Long Pumpkin
Vines Shown On
Auburn Lawn
(Auburn Correspondent)
Much interest was taken in
the pumpkin vine competition
that took place in Auburn last
weekend. William Straughan
discovered he had a pumpkin
vine measuring over 30 feet in
length, He placed it across the
lawn hi front of his house with
a little notice posted regarding
this vine.
John Houston, a neighbour,
saw the exhibit and went home
and brought a vine 40 feet long
in his wheelbarrow and put it
on display beside Mr. Straugh-
an's vine. Both these retired
farmers wonder if anyone can
beat these pumpkin vines.
