that the largest tree on the
grounds was a stately four-foot
evergreen . . While our know-
ledge of nature is decidedly
lacking, we (TO know enough to
realize that the tiny evergreens
around the building were not
really resPOrisibie for Don's
work, but the culprits were
actually the giant maples ador-
ning the premises of most of
the neighbors.
WITH SUCH beautiful wea-
ther of late, we doubt that Don,
or anyone else for that matter,
really minds getting out to
rake the leaves after supper or
on Saturday afternoon, but in
some years the pleasures are
not always, as great . With
this thought in mind, we wond-
er if it might not be such a
bad idea to set aside a national
Leaf Raking Day", a day on
which it would be every citi-
zen's duty to get out to rake
up his leaves . . With such
a sweeping program, all the
problems aforementioned. would
be a thing of the past and har-
mony would continue to thrive
among everyone and his neigh-
bors . . The fire risk would
be limited to a single day; with
everyone out raking, the kids
could, rile and tumble into the
piles on the curb without hav-
ing someone run over them;
people would have only one day
in which they would have to
live in fear of stepping out.-of
a car onto a smouldering heap
of embers on the side of the
road and our good ladies would
have only one day in which
they would have to worry ab-
out the pungent smoke of burn-
ing leaves floating through their
wash lines.
AND NOW that we're on
this nature trail, we should
make mention of a letter we
received last week from Mrs.
P. L. Dymond at St. Paul's
Rectory , . She writes that a
pair 'of Orange Breasted
thrushes have been busily en-
gaged in their search for food
on the newly seeded lawn at
the rear of the rectory and
questions if it is not unusual
for them to be with us at this
time of year . . . The summer
weather of the past may have
upset the instincts of these fea-
thery friends, or they may be
raising a late season family,
but in any case Mrs. Dymond
is interested in knowing if any
of our readers has known of
cases where this species of bird
has successfully weathered a
winter in Southwestern Ontario
. . . Well, bird watchers?
PEOPLE being what they
are, the position of a weather
forecaster must be about the
riskiest business in the. book,
as it is impossible to come up
with something that pleases
everyone . . . We note these
days the TV weathermen are
all aglow with smiles as they
come up with the fact that the
temperatures are going to re-
main in the seventies and the
sun will prevail for another day
. , . This is probably winning
them great popularity positions
with their fellow city and town
dwellers, but we would imag-
ine many of the smiles would
quickly disappear if they could
hear some of the curses that
their reports bring from the
area farmers who have to haul
gallons of water every day due
to dried up wells, or those who
are out bending plowshares in
the fields that have taken on
a concrete appearance.
SIMILAR to most sons, we
have caused our dear mother
much worry and grief in the
past, but we expected such oc-
currences would terminate
when we packed our bags and
headed north. However, it ap-
pears that such is not the case
and our writing in this column
last week have her upset again
It seems we mentioned
something about• a Thanksgiv-
ing dinner of turkey, dumplings
and fresh pumpkin pie heaped
with whipped cream . . . We
didn't get the entire details of
the complaint, but apparently
she is worried what the fine
cooks of. Clinton will think ab-
out her if her son has been
living all these years on turkey
and dumplings, because as she
reports this is a bit of an od-
dity in the culinary fields, and
she even enlisted the aid of• a
noted (for burned spaghetti)'
home economist • to point out
that I either didn't know what
I Was eating,' or at least what
I was writing about . . , So,
to set the record straight, tur-
key and dumplings is not one
of the features of Mother's
Thanksgiving dinners
That's what you get for taking
the cook's dumplings f o r
granite I suppose.

.is that ELECTROHOME sets are more de-

The.CHSS Redinen split a
pair of football encounters in
the Perthex 10013 this week, but
still managed to hang onto g
part of second spot.
Last Thursday they ended up
on the short end of a 19-7
score with their old rivals from
Goderich, but they bounced
back yesterday to record a 19-6
win in Wingliam,
Playing a hard-driving ground
game, which featured excellent
ball control, CHSS dominated
play throughout most of the
game,
Quarterback Borden McRae
opened the scoring in the first
quarter when he went over
from about seven yards out,
capping a drive that started
deep in their own end,
Hugh Lobb, Bob Livermore,

and Hugh. Lobb kicked the con-

plays to grab a 'I'D in the sec-
ond quarter, but the convert
attempt was no good.

Meeting Tuesday, Clinton
council took no action on a re-
quest from. Supertest Petrol-
eum Corporation to purchase a
10-foot wide lane near their
Property on the north side of
Ontario Street, about half a
block east of the main inter-
section.
While no definite motion was
presented, it was the general
feeling of the council members
that the property should not
be sold.
The gasoline firm noted they
were giving consideration to
the redevelopment of their pro-
perty and noted the lane ap-
peared to be "of little use to
the town".
However, Mayor Miller ex-
plained that store owners on
Albert Street would have no
access to the rear of their pro-
perty if the land was sold.
"I'm not in favour at all,"
councillor Norm Livermore
stated. "We, need that lane
for fire protection."
Mrs. Alice Thompson agreed
noting that one would never
know when he would need the
lane, 3
Reeve Morgan Agnew point-
ed out that council has sold
some property for $1.00 and
noted such sales of land were
very foolish. He said they
should be considered very ser-
iously as it was impossible to
buy them back for the same
nominal fee.
Council received a letter in
connection with another small
lane when Mrs, Ellen M. Atkin-
son, London, 'requested the lane
behind the Wholesale Furni-
ture, a store she owns, be given
some attention.
She said that in its present
condition the water ran down
it and into the basement of
the Albert Street store.
She also noted there was not
enough gravel on the lane and
it became extremely muddy in
wet weather.
Reeve Morgan Agned report-
ed the public works committee
had received authorization to
proceed on fixing the lane last
year, but it was never carried
out.
He also indicated that the
town did not own the entire
lane and if they were to go
ahead and fix only their por-
tion it would still create pro-
blems.
Deputy-Reeve John Sutter
added that he thought other
owners had agreed to pay far
portions of the work and that
a local contracting firm had
been contracted to do the work.
"I thought we were finished
with it," he stated.
Mayor Miller asked that the

public works committee plan a
special meeting in the near
future to look into the situa-
tion.
Unsightly Gas Stations
Although no motion was pas-
sed, council members gave
hearty verbal backing to a mo-
tion from the council of Or-
angeville that called for Pro-
vincial authorities and oil com-
panies to take action to allevi-
ate the untidy sites of many
retail gasoline outlets in On-
tario.
"Some are nothing more than
graveyards for wrecked cars
and not even licensed as junk-
yards," the resolution noted.
It went on to point out that
such places were undesirable
for the travelling public, a de-
triment to the tourist industry
and a potential fire hazard due
to the debris and rubbish
around them.
"The oil companies see fit
to `lease these outlets to parties
where indifference to cleanli-
ness seems to be the attitude,"
it stated, adding that many

New Committee
For 'Teen Town
At last week's meeting of
Clinton Lions Club, Joe Murphy
volunteered to head a commit-
tee to supervise Clinton 'Teen
Town this coming winter. He
asked permission to appoint his
own committee members.
A recommendation had' come
from the Lions executive to
drop sponsorship of the club
because of the inability to get
chaperones, to attend' teen town
events. The teenage group have
started the season's dances in
the Legion hall.
The Lions sports committee
headed by Bob Hunter was
authorized to sponsor a midget
hockey team providing manage-
ment and players are available.
The entertainment at the
meeting in St. Paul's Parish
Hall was a film on "The 500
Race" at the Indianapolis
Speedway in 1963, shown by
Thomas Darby, Brantford, the
Firestone representative for this
part. of Western Ontario. Mr.
Darby is a weekly caller on
Lion president Jack Scruton,
the local Firestone dealer.-
Tickets on the Lions annual
Grey Cup football draw were
distributed and are now on sale
from Lions and many business
places in town. Vice-President
Leslie Ball is in charge of this
fund-raising activity,

day with a game in Clinton
against the Seaforth Golden
Bears.
The locals will be out for
wins in both these games • to
grab one of the three playoff
spots in the loop.
OroPPet) At -Grodenieb.
Last" Thursday afternoon, a
140-pound Goderich 'fallback,
Bill Wilkinson, scored all three
of: his squad's touchdowns as •
they whipped the .CHSS crew
by a 19-7 count.
Playing on their home field
Goderich scored two touch
downs in the first quarter on
short off,teckle runs by Wil,
kinson with. Steve Snell con,
venting them both,
Wilkinson's third touchdown
came in the second quarter
When he bolted five yards off
tacifle again, The Goderich full-
back set the scoring play up
with a 35-yard end sweep aided
by some fine blocking by 200-
pound tackle Brian Dowds and
170-pound guard John McLean,
The Redmen, who were Gode,
rich's third straight victim,
scored their only touchdown of
the game in the fourth quarter
were adjacent to department of
highway signs that reported
there was a $50 fine for litter-
ing the highway.
'We have them right around
Clinton," councillor Norm Liv-
ermore stated in backing the
resolution.
School Area Improved
On questioning from council-
lor Livermore, Deputy-Reeve
John Sutter reported that safe-
ty conditions around the area
of CHSS appeared to be im-
proving since council asked the
principal to warn the students
of the dangers of walking on
the road.
"They always will," Sutter
replied in answer to a query
whether or not the students
were still walking on the road.
"But they're not as bad as they
were," he added, noting that it
would be even better when the
no parking signs are placed
along Princess Street in the
school area.
Councillor George Wonch ex-
pressed the opinion that ,the
cases of bad driving in the area
would also be curbed if the
police continued their patrols
in the area.
In giving his police commit-
tee report, Mayor Miller noted
the night men were having a
"busy time" trying to cut clown
on the "car screeching".
"They're doing the best they
can," he added.
The monthly report showed:
53 trailers in use at Becker's
Trailer Park, two criminal cas-
es tried with both ending in
convictions, nine highway traf-
fic act charges and nine con-
victions, two arrests, 42 inves-
tigations, $135 in fines being
handed' down in court, one car
confiscated, three HTA warn-
ings, two places of business
found insecure on nightly
checks, three accidents investi-
gated, one assault, three car
thefts and two cases of shop-
lifting.
on a 25-yard pass from Borden
McRae to Hugh Lobb.
Goderich piked up 286 yards
rushing to 126 for CHSS with
the winners getting 24 first
downs to nine for the losers.
