On further questioning from Agnew as to the possible start- ing date for a new building and its intended size, Wood replied that no definite plans had been made in this regard as yet. He noted that any starting date would be up to the depart- ment of education, but predict- ed the board would have no choice but to have additional facilities within two years. The board chairman also pre- dicted a four or five-room addi- tion and agreed with Agnew that this would cost in the neighborhood of $150,000 to $200,000. "There's' every indication we will need it in the near future," Dixon commented. No More Land Councillor Norm Livermore asked the board members if they had explored the possibil- ity of acquiring land near the present site, stating that he would prefer to see the schools closer together so as to avoid a burden on parents.

Kids Enjoy Variety Of Activities Clinton's entry in the WQA8 softball loop regained their winning form this weekend, winning a home-and-home ser- ies with. Lucknow. Playing in Lucknow on Fri- day night under the lights, the local squad eked out a thrilling 4-3 win in one of their better showings of the season. Returning to Clinton Satur- day, they had an easier time as they exploded • for six runs in the second frame and nursed the lead along to regard a 6-2 margin. They actually spotted Luck- now a 2 - 0 lead in the first frame as Doug MCDOugall was touched for a pair of singles Kin Pee Nees Capture Pair Clinton Kinsmen pee woes recorded two more wins in WOAA action this week, both by convincing scores, as the kids really turned on the pow- er. On Thursday they motored to Lucan and drubbed the Irish crew by a 23-1 count. Greg Burns, Bruce Schoenhals and Mike Graham paced the attack with three' hits each, • Another big clout was a triple by Cam Colquhoun with the bases loaded in the third inning. The locals picked up 16 hits in all, while Lucan managed only three. Playing on Saturday, Clinton spotted Hensall three runs in the first inning and then bounc- ed back with a 12-4 margin. Mike Graham picked up the win on the mound and aided his own cause with a triple and double at the plate. Next game for the kids is Friday, when they travel to St, Marys. before he retired the .side. However, two .Lucknow rpre, two walks and a single by Bob Welsh and a triple by Mc- Doggett gave them their six tallies in the second and, that was all they needed as Mc- Dougall hand-cuffed the visi- tors on. five scattered hits in the final eight frames, Clinton managed only two more safeties themselves, but they didn't really need them. Bob McDonald and McDougall. had the hits in the finel six innings. The home crew will observe the Glorious Twelfth by host- ing Blyth in a game at th&local diamond, Friday, while they travel to Selgrave for a contest on Saturday. The remainder of the ,seas- on's schedule is as follows: July 12—Blyth at Clinton la—Clinton at Belgrave 17—Lucknow at Clinton 19—Belgrave at Clinton 20—Clinton at Blyth 26—Seaforth at:` Clinton 27—Clinton at Whitechurch August' 3—Whitechurch at Clinton 0 Holland Reunion The Holland family reunion and picnic was held on Monday, July 1, 1963, in Harbor Park, Goderich. Seventy members of the family attended. In spite of the 90 degree temperature, sports were enjoyed. Family members attended from London, Stratford, Thed- f o r d , Windsor, Woodstock, Lindsay, Trenton, as well as from Clinton, ; Goderich and Dungannon. Some group pic- tures will be available. The committee for 1964 is Mr. Wesley Holland, Mr. Alvin Wise, both of Clinton, and Mr. George Holland, Stratford. Undefeated ..Club Scores 77 Runs In Four Games If Clinton's Fish and ,.Game midgets continue on the seine pattern they have established in their first four WOAA ball Baines,, someone will have to come pp with a new style for a score Del*, The peesent books, which leave space for only nine runs in one inning, aren't any good for the locals who 'have run scores into astronomical figures to date. In their four eames they heve scored no less than 77 runs— or an average of slightly over 19 per game—and they have held their opposition to a mere two runs—or an average of only half a run per contest. In home-and-home games with Mitchell, the midgets have racked up scores of 11-0 and 21-1 and have been even tough- er on Seaforth, winning by scores of 20-0 and 25-1. The 25-1 margin was posted Tuesday night in Seaforth as the locals came through with 21 runs in the first three in- nings and after being shut-out in the fourth, came back with two more in each of the fifth and sixth. Winning pitcher, Clarence Magee, gave up a .double to Philips, who led off for Sea- forth and, after seeing the run come in on an error by one of his mates, Magee settled down to throw hitless ball for the remainder of the tilt. With the team winning by such large scores, the local management have been giving all the boys a chance in the games and they are presently looking for some exhibition games with some tougher oppo- sition. In the wins to date, Magee, Doug Proctor and Brad Dutot have been sharing the mound duties and all three have been very effective. Other names in the lineup are: Proctor, Switzer, L. Colqu- houn, L. Pearson, B. Pearson, Cooper, Riley, Graham, Pickett, Whitinghem, Livermore, Bat- kin. 0 RCAF Eleven Grabs First In Soccer Loop RCAF Clinton's entry in the Huron County Soccer League, defeated only once in six out- ings, is presently in top spot in the loop with their 10 points. Centralia is in the number two position with one loss in only five outings, while Win- throp and Brussels are tied for third with five points each. The area RCAF squad will do double duty for the next few weeks as they compete in the Huron loop and also vie for the Armed Forces trophy. They open play for this hon- or with a home game against Camp Borden this Sunday, re- turning there next week. To date, Ray Hunt has been pacing the RCAF team in their wins, recording 15 of the 38 goals they have scored. Bob Whillims has picked up eight tallies and Jack Harkness has recorded four, while Eric Janes and Terry Bushell have three each. Jack MacDonald and John Boyce have potted a pair each and the other marker has been picked up by William Griffith. The Huron loop standing is as follows: W L T Pts.

Despite a few scratches, caus- ed by the bramble bushes, the travellers journeyed h weary, but happy. A penny carnival was the order of the day at the Fish and Game Park., During the craft period the older group of children, having been paired off, made posters for their own as- signed carnival booths. To play any game of skill or chance the child must pay one penny. Some of the events were these: throwing rings on bot- tles, a treasure hunt, a kleenex pick-up, throwing a ball at milk bottles, a fish pond, guessing the number of stones in a jar, and dropping clothespins into a container. Everyone who participated won a prize, or as in most cases, won several. During the week a crab race was scheduled, the winners be- ing: first, Terry MacDonald; second, Steve MacDonald; third, Gary Cummings, In the scavenger hunt, first place went to Bonnie Riel and Louise Lazet; second place, Terry MacDonald and Steve MacDonald; third place, Ove Christensen, Fred MacDonald, Bobby Riel. Prizes for these two contests were given out during the wind- up of the penny carnival. 0 Expect 40 Lodges At Exeter "Walk" (Continued from Page One) will be played between the two ladies' teams from Exeter and Brucefield. An added feature is a chick- en barbecue that will be held on the grounds by members of the Hurondale Women's Insti- tute. Evening Show The gathering, which is ex- pected to run between 1,500 and 2,000 people will move to the Exeter Legion Hall for the evening program which will feature a floor show of profes- sional entertainers from the Woodstock area. The CKNX Ranch Boys will also play for a dance to con- clude the busy schedule of ac- tivities planned for the lodge members. Few on Twelfth The Exeter "walk" is one of the few being held on the Glor- ious Twelfth this year, but Jac- ques pointed out that with most members being rural folk it didn't matter too much if they took off Friday or Saturday. More than 4,000 persons at- tended an Orange convention in Hespeler, Saturday, and anoth- er "walk" in Wiarton attracted 1,500 on the same day. Other major "walks" in Western Ontario this Saturday will be staged in London and Paris. The Clinton Community Con- cert and Marching band will participate in the London event. The fife and drum band of the local Orange Lodge will be in attendance at the •"walk" in Exeter on Friday. Area Farm Crops. (Continued from page Pm) for their livestock if p.astures continue to wilt.

Livermore also noted the hardship at lunch time, com- paring it to the split noon hours at the high school when members of one family arrived home at different times. However; the two stated that there was not enough land available in the area, but Dix- on added that he felt having schools on both sides of town would be "an asset rather than an inconvenience". Commends Co-operation The two men asked council for permission to take an op- tion on the land, but councillor George Rumball stated that he did not think they needed council's approval for the move. Reeve 'Agnew agreed, but commended the action of the school board in approaching council with their plans. "It shows good co-operation," he added, noting that a former school board had optioned land without seeking council's ap- proval or informing them of the action.

The children were divided into equal teams with juniors, inter- mediates, and seniors in each group. Passing a ball over and under, catch and, squat, tunnel and leap frog, weaving through the team members and a pota- to race were the exciting events entered.
