suggested.
Mayor Miller asked if coun-
cil had the power to refuse per-
mission for the sales and it
was pointed out by clerk John
Livermore that the sales pro-
moters did not take but a tran-
sient traders' license, but were
only paying a $150 yearly fee
to the town.
The suggestion that council
seek legal advice was offered
by reeve Morgan Agnew and
was agreed upon by council.
Authorized Grants
Upon the request from the
local association for Retarded
Children, council authorized a
grant of $100 to the group to
assist in paying the expenses
of two Clinton children pre-
sently being transported to
Goderich every day for school-
ing.
The group pointed out the
children have to be driven back
and forth by taxi every day
and are also transported from
the Goderich school for dinner
down town each day.
It was pointed out the Clin-
ton Lions, Legibn, Kinsmen and
Women's Association of the
Fish and name Club were each
donating $10 per Month, but
while this was a "wonderful
help" it was not enough to take
care of the $5,50 per day ex-
penses,
Councillor Mrs. F. G. Thomp-
son, who investigated the re-
quest, pointed Out the taxi had
to be used due to the fact a
special Iidente had to be held
to driVe the Children to dode-
rieth
She Said the $100 grant plus
the other donations and 4 $50
per month grant from the gov-
ernment would "just put them
over the hill",
Council also Made $25 grants
to the Salvation Army and the
Huron Soil Crop and Improve-
ment Association.
Want Second Sign
Atlantic Finance, who drew
criticism from council for re-
cently erecting a sign without
permission, informed council
they regretted the misunder-
standing and said they thought
all that was needed was to ad-
vise council a sign would be
erected.
The firm requested permis-
sion to erect; another sign at
the corner and requested ap-
proval as soon as possible.
Permission was granted,
In• other business, council:
Concurred .with a resolution
from Wentworth County that
the Provincial government be
petitioned to halt the sale and
use of mineral-based deter-
gents, which are being blamed
for much water pollution.
Took no action on the re-
quest of the Mid-Western On-
tario Development Association
that they join the group. The
request suggested Clinton and
other municipalities should join
so the group would be More
effective and could secure their
full Provincial grants.

each picked up a pair of mark-
ers in the tilt, while single tal-
lies came off the sticks of Tom
Colquhoun, Bill Counter and
Don Scruton.
Bev Boyes paced the scoring
for the losers, denting the
twine twice, while Gord Bish-
op accounted' for the other
marker.
In the other tilt of the night,
the Teachers kept their champ-
ionship hopes alive with .a 7-5
win over the third place Bank-
ers.
Ken Clynick bagged a brace
of tallies in the win, while the
other scoring was handled by
Mait Edgar,' Bud Yeo, Bill
Craig, Bob Mann and Norman
Amy, each man picking up a
single.
Frank Elliott was top man
for Hydro, blinking the light
twice, while Ken McClure, Eric
Schellenberger and Bob Cook

Chief Thompson noted the
office work had increased
three-fold in his term.
"We feel the ahove mention-
ed facts warrant another police
officer and an increase of $400
for all members of the present
Police Department,"
Mayor W, J, Miller, in asking
that the letter be filed, pointed
out council couldn't do -any-
thing • 00.4 the request until
the investigation of the pplice
force has been carried out.
Conncil agreed and the re,
quest was filed,
No Date for Investigation
Council were also informed
that no date has been• set as
yet for the investigation of the
police department by the. On-
tario Police commission,
Two letters were read at the
meeting, pointing out that ur-
gent matters had detained the
Commission in starting the
work,
The first letter was written
from the commission on Janu-
ary 9 and it stated that Staff
Inspector A. Macleod had been
assigned to the investigation
and would interview members
of the council on the following
Monday, which would have
been the 14th of that month.
However, a letter from the
commission, dated on January
10 stated that an urgent matter
had arisen which would make
it impossible for Macleod to
proceed with the investigation
at Clinton on the arranged date
and "the matter will have to
be delayed for a short time un-
til another Staff Inspector is
available".
The letter went on to state
the commission would write at
that time and "will endeavour
to get somebody assigned to
this inquiry as soon as pos-
sible".
Slow Delivery?
Despite the fact council held
regular meetings . on January
14 and 22, the letters which
were dated much. earlier than
the date of the meetings, were
not read to council until Mon-
day's session,
No • explanation was offered

one or two people had been
Left with all the responsibility.
"It's a lost cause if we sit
back and let them come to us,"
he said. "We have to do some
digging and cultivating on
this."
"As long as we sit back on
the fence and don't go after
these industries we will never
get any where," he said, after
reporting other industries had
intimated interest in coming to
Clinton.
Councillor Allan Elliott point-
ed out that while the idea of
bringing an industry to town
was to help prosperity, council
could not afford to grant so
much that it would not be paid
back in a certain period.
"We may not-must not-
offer so much to any industry
that we will never show a pro-
fit," he said, and added that
council had extended themselv-
es to the limit.
Councillor George Rumball
disagreed, and pointed out the
town would receive sizeable
taxes from the industry, besid-
es the prosperity it would pro-
vide in increased population,
homes and buying in the town.
"We are eventually going to
have to increase our sewer in
five or six years," he noted,
"and we would be getting a
bargain to get Canada Packers
here,"
Refering to Garon's plea, he
stated, "what Mr. Gar o n
means is to try and get our
figure on a negotiating basis
and present it to Canada Pack-
ers before they commit them-
selves to Walkerton."
"The proper suggestion Wottid
be to expreSs our regret that
they are curtailing negotiations
with us," reeve Agnew stated,
"and write and tell them we
would be very pleased at any
time to resume meeting with
them."
Worich said he favored Ger-
on's suggestion of forming a
committee and go after the pro-
ject again, "and See if we can
kick this door open again!'
