I NEwsrArgRs all carry th e
gruesome details of accidents
and when they involve child-
ren, readers generally have the
feeling of indignation for the
driver who is usually chastised
for not using the proper care
and attention in areas where
children are playing , , Due
to the fact that kids do some
of the craziest things, extra
care and attention is a prime
requisite in built up areas
where youngsters may be lurk-
ing behind parked ears or trees,
and in the case of many trag-
edies, it can be proven that
even the most cautious drivers
can not always avoid accidents
with children who dart out and
leave drivers with little roqm
for escape . , The need for
more caution around the Clint
ton school area has been urged
in these columns over the past
two weeks, but following a
nerve-racking experience this
week, we have come -to the
conclusion that a few mothers
in the area should have a long,
serious talk about safety with
some of our pre-schoolers,
WHILE ..HER n am e will

two such tots in an incident
about half a mile east of Clin-
ton on highway 8 in mid-after-
noon on Monday . . We were'
driving east on the highway
when we spotted four young-
sters enjoying a game of racing
across the highway between
the cars that were travelling
both ways . . . We slowed
down as we approached and
three ran to one side of the
road and the other criss-crossed
the other way . . The young-
sters spotted our car and we
knew they Weren't going to run
out, and we contemplated a
stop in order to give them a
warning against their danger-
ous activity.
HOWEVER, the lady driver
was approaching less than 100
yards away and we thought
that if we stopped the young-

Money is most acceptable for
buying gifts for older children
and is 'welcome because these
gifts are sually more expens-

Other suggested gifts are
donations of food, new wear-

jority of 871 in comparison to
479 last election,
Clinton backed MacNaughton
by a majority of 607.
Wintermeyer Out
One of the biggest upsets
across the province was in
Kitchener, where John Winter-
meyer, leader of the Liberal
party, was defeated in his own
riding. •
A strong election campaign
in that city carried the Prog-
ressive Conservative candidate
to a comparatively large ma-
jority.
Premier John Robarts was
an easy winner in his own rid-
ing of London and watched his
fellow candidates rack up a
large majority of seats to as-
sure him a strong working
majority,
Most of his cabinet ministers
Were returned as well. Incom-
plete returns at press time
A heavy agenda was dealt
with a Monday's regular meet-
ing of Clinton Legion. Thirty-
five members were* present
when President Harold Mc-
Pherson .opened the meeting.
A schedule of Saturday af-
ternoon shows for children will
begin on October 19; other
dates are November 2, 16 and
30 and December 7. These films
are also shown free of charge
to the residents at Huronview
on Sunday evening following
the Legion showing.
Harold Black will again head
the Christmas party for Legion
members' children early in De-
cember at which all members'
children under the age of eight
years receive gifts and treats.
showed Robarts with 76 of the
106 seats.
Some of the interesting as-
pects of the election were wins
by a negro, the first in On-
tario's history, and a majority
by a blind war veteran in To-
ronto.
Former NHL star and cap-
tain of the Toronto Maple
Leafs, Syl Apps was a winner
as was Joe Krol, a former
standout with the Big Four
Toronto Argos.
Huron-Bruce Close
The closest triumph was
posted in the neighboring rid-
ing of Huron-Bruce where Geo-
rge McCutcheon, Brussels,
scored a win over Liberal in-
cumbent, Murray Gaunt.
However, the PC man won
by only three votes and a re-
count is a certainty. He had
6,350 votes to Gaunt's 6,347.
Gaunt won the seat in a by-
election win over McCutcheon
last year. •
Ways and. means chairman
Perce Brown thanked the vet-
erans for attending and help-
ing at • the recent Drive-In
bingo which netted the branch
nearly $400. He also reported
that net profit from the sum-
mer band tattoo was only $69.
A motion later in the meeting
to drop sponsorship of this
event was defeated.
On the Sunday preceding
Armistice Day, the Legion will
attend church service and a
dedication of the remodelled
cairn in Clan Gregor Square,
Bayfield. This invitation was
extended by Roy Fitzsimons on
behalf of the ten or 12 Legion
members from that village, The
Legion band • and full color
party will attend.
Activities on and close to
Armistice Day were tentatively
planned. Garnet Harland will
again head the poppy sales
drive. A banquet is planned
for November 6 at which the
president of provincial com-
mand, Arthur Adams, Toronto,
will be guest speaker, This
year the Legion goes to Ontario
Street United Church for their
regular remembrance service
on November 3.
The branch authorized the
purchase of a cash register, and
decided to again spansor juven-
ile hockey in Clinton.
A committee from the Leg-
ion will Meet with the Clinton
Cemetery Board at the Novem-
ber meeting of that board to
arrange for another veterans'
plot at Clinton cemetery. A
committee of three trustees
will be appointed by the Leg-
ion to administer the plots.
Seven From Lodge
At Conference
Held In Windsor
Seven members of the Clin-
ton Eastern Star were in Wind-
sor last week attending the
Grand Chapter sessions.
They included Mrs. William
Went, Mrs, Don Symons, Mrs.
Willard Aiken, Mrs, Gerry
Holmes, Mrs. Carl Powell, Mrs.
Gordon Steepe and Mrs. Don
Watson,
It wat announced at this
convention that In •the past
year, the Eastern 81,6r in On-
tario donated $8,115 for can-cer research and treatment.
Also, it provided 81 ESTARL
awards, valued at $300 Oath.

facts from previous financial
statements, that many organ-
izations in the county- could
make large sums of money by
catering to the vast host of
visitors in many ways.
He noted that the firemen
in one community had made
$1,000 profit from the sale of
hot dogs during the week of

oup had realized $5,000 from
the sale of hats and another

It was no contest!
That about sums up the
election in Huron riding where
Charlie MacNaughton, minister
of highways in the last Ro-
barts government, scored a re-
sounding landslide over his Lib-
eral opponent, Harry Strang.
In what turned out to be one
of the largest majorities ever
recorded in the riding, the
Exeter PC walked away with a
4,671_ majority.
Eight minutes after -the polls
closed, the first return came in
from a Seaforth poll, giving
MacNaughton ,a 75-31 lead.
This set the stage for the
remaining polls as MacNaugh-
ton kept up his better than
two to one majority through-
oun• and the outcome was never
in doubt.
Backed By All
Every municipality in the
riding gave the incumbent a
decisive majority as he finished
up with a total of 8,920 votes
to Strang's 4,249.
ShoWing -the highway minist:
er's popularity was the fact
that in 1949 he downed Strang
by only a majority of 1,624,
and the Liberal candidate won
five of the- 14 municipalities.
This time, Strang posted
only slim. majorities in five of
the 106 polls. The closest he
came to winning in a muni-
cipality was in Mcleillop, where
he was beaten by a score of
280 to 269.
In his last bid, the Usborne
seed farmer won McKillop
Township by a score of 412
to 239,
Other municipalities that
tainted in favour of MacNaugh-
ton were Seaforth, Hay, Hal-
lett and Tuckersmith.
One of the odd twists was
that in Seaforth, MacNaughton
received 555 votes this trip, the
identical figure picked up in
1959 by Strang.
As expected, Exeter backed
the minister of highways with
be featured eri small game
management. Panel members
will be officials of the depart-
ment of lands and forests and.
zone members.
Guest speaker at the bangact

night will be W, Owen, Oshawa

Entertainment and a dance

ing.
At the dinner meeting in St.
Paul'S Parish Hall, two of the •
department heads in the new
vocational addition at CHSS,

rich Collegiate, and now head

The 'Weather
Abandons Car
After Wild Drive
Through Clinton
Clinton police are continuing
their investigation of an inci-
dent on Saturday night when
an unknown driver piloted his
car through the north-west
section of town on practically
everything but .the road, short-
ly after 9:00 p.m.
It is believed the car started
its wild meanderings after
turning off Albert Street onto
Huron Street, and after turn-
ing right onto Orange Street,
cut across the lawn of Bill
Ream at the corners of Or-
ange arid Rattenbury Streets,
The car passed between a
hydro pole and its supporting
wire, although witnesses on the
scene later appeared dumb-
founded as to how it could
have gone through safely.
It continued west on Ratten-
bury, diverting across the lawn
at Carman McPherson's, again
coming so close to a pole that
a chrome strip was ripped off
the right side.
However, this appeared to do
little to slow the driver down
as he then turned onto North
Street, crossing through two
ditches before being spun half
way around when' the car
struck a maple tree.,
This; apparently did little bu,t
send the auto off in the direc-
tion of Pugh'snTerrace, where
it raced over another lawn be-
fore becoming entangled in a
small evergreen tree.
The driver, presumably call-
ing a halt to his little jaunt,
left the car abandoned on the
lawn and took off on foot.
Police were called, but the
driver could not be found at
the scene and the auto was
towed away.
Police are keeping wraps on
the information they have sec-
ured to date as publication
could possibly hinder their in-
vestigation,
Not Much Action
That was the only incident
reported by local police, and
there was only one area inci-
dent investigated by OPP of-
ficers from Goderich, where one
officer noted, "things have been
good",
The Ione incident was on
Thursday when Robert Mason
McAllister, RR 2, Auburn, ran
into and killed a cattle beast
near St. Augustine.
The mishap occured about
about 8:30 p.m. and McAllister
escaped uninjured,
