She said she wished Mr. Pegg (D. M. Pegg, one of the plant executives) would hang one of his white shirts on her line or leave his car in her drive one night. "Then we'd probably have it fixed up," she stated, adding that it was impossible to get the soot stains out of clothing. Mrs. Allan Elliot agreed with her, reporting that on that very day she had had her wash "ruined" because the soot had dried right into the clothes.

The board decided to inform the parents of three E as t Wawanosh students attending Wingham District High School that they would be required to pay the tuition fees at that school, Word was received from the Wingham board that four stud- ents from the Clinton area were in attendance at Wing- ham and the bill for their tu- ition would be sent to the CHSS board. The board will pay the tu- ition of one of the four, Gary Walden, in that he is five miles away from the closest bus corn- ing to Clinton and it was felt that it would be cheaper to pay the tuition than provide bus service. However, the other three are within half a mile of a bus stop and the board indicated their willingness of transport- ing the students to Clinton. Perplexed. With PUC The Clinton Public Utilities Commission came in for some sharp criticism from some of the members when it was re- ported they wanted $73 to move one of their poles off the school grounds. At present the pole is situat- ed directly in line with one of (Continued on Page Seven) It's a well known fact that it's an impossibility to please everyone and the warm, dry weather of the past few weeks has been no exception in this regard. In a. secret ballot conducted at their meeting last week, CHSS board members voted in favour of school trustees being paid for their work, a point which has drawn much contro- versy in some centres in past years. The vote was asked for by the Ontario School Trustees Council and the results of the province wide vote .are expect- ed to be known in December. The ballot was a straight "yes" or 'no" vote and there was no suggestion made as to what salary trustees would wish to receive if . they voted in favour of pay. At present, CHSS members receive an "honorarium" of $5.00 per month. When' Business Administrat- or L. R. Maloney outlined the vote, a suggestion, was present- ed that he be authorized to mark all ballots as being in favour. However, this was reconsid- ered and withdrawn and the ballots were handed out to be marked.

SS Board Members Vote in Favour 01 Pay, , Disgruntled PUC For Pole Moving Charge The lack of moisture has bak- ed the earth and agricultural representative Doug Miles re- ports it is getting to the tioint where it could be serious. "We definitely need mois- ture," he stated, adding that farmers were finding it a very difficult task to plow, and some have been forced to curtail op- erations. He explained the sun-baked earth was very hard on plow- shares. Mr. Miles also reported that the lack of moisture is threat- ening the late sown wheat, al- though he said he had not re- ceived word that any had been completely lost as yet, as it has in some areas. Corn Comes Back To prove that what is bad for one may be good' for an- other, the agricultural repre- sentative said the dry weather has actually aided the fields of corn which were hit earlier by frost.

Dymond, rector as returning officer, indicated the vote was not unanimous, Clinton Firm Extend Offer For PO Site Royce Macaulay of Ball- Macaulay Limited, reported this week the Federal Depart- ment of Public Works has ask- ed the firm to extend for an- other three months the offer to sell their property. The property is being con- sidered as the site for Clinton's proposed $145,000 post office. Soil tests have been made and apparently have been ap- proved and it is expected that an announcement will be made in the near future as to the location of the new structure. Elston Cardiff, Huron MP, announced last summer that the building was slated for eon- struction in 1964. and the secretary is Lorie Spa- no, Adastral Park, a candidate for last year's At:Home Queen.

Mr. Hale laid out the west end of the town, marked off the streets, which still bear the classical names he gave them— Cowper, Milton, Spencer, New- ton, Addison—and planted many beautiful maple trees. Fifteen residents in the vicin- ity of Sherlock-Manning Piano Co. Ltd. informed town council in no uncertain terms on Tues- day that they want immediate action on attempting to bring a halt to the smoke and soot from the firm's chimneys that has been causing them much grief and damaging their pos- sessions and property. And • immediate action was what they were promised! Council, which had a similar delegation from. the residents six months ago, promised to draft an air pollution bylaw and to also' call a meeting of all those concerned in the mat- ter. Clerk John Livermore was instructed to have W. D. Drow-' ley, acting director of the air pollution branch of the depart- ment of health, attend a meet- ing in Clinton within two weeks 'to help solve the nuis- ance. —The 'Meeting Will be 'with town council and a motion was presented that the 15-member delegation be . invited to attend and also the owners of the piano factory. Reason for the meeting with all parties concerned was due mainly to the fact that there appeared to be many conflict- ing stories as to what steps could be taken in regard to the solution, and council felt it ad- viseable to have all concerned on hand so they would all be told the same story. Smoke Getting Worse Although the delegation had to wait for oven an hour while the council met in secret ses- sion and dealt with other busi- ness in the council chambers, the long 'wait certainly didn't cool the ratepayers clown any. Mrs. Allan Bell-Chambers told council that the smoke was getting worse than what it had been and was becoming "very frustrating". "We even 'have it in our bed- rooms," she stated, adding that it was a bad state of affairs when residents could not leave "Corn is doing much better that earlier expected," he stat- ed, noting that about 50 per- cent of what had been feared lost had been saved through the lack of moisture. While he explained he, had received -little, notification of area farmers being forced to draw water, he said this could be happening as the water lev- els would certainly be down. The long, dry spell has also created extreme fire hazards and readers should be reminded that everything is ;'tinder dry and extreme caution should be used. Many areas have been fight- ing forest and grass 'fires be- lieved caused by persons throw- ing cigarette butts out of car windows and by persons who have not paid close attention to burning leaves and rubbish. 0 Kinsmen Initiate Three Members, To Sponsor Hockey Three new members were in- itiated into the Clinton Kins- men Club at the group's reg- ular meeting, Tuesday. With president Bill Chowen in the chair, the laugh-provok- ing initiation was conducted by Jerry Wilson, Stephen Brown, • Grant Irwin and Art Collins. The three new members are Mike Elands, manager of At- lantic Finance; Barry McLaren, an employee with the Bell Tele- phone and Bob Mann, a teacher at CHSS.
