Clinton News-Record, 1963-10-24, Page 12Fire Threat
With the tinder dry condi-
tions in the area, all citizens
are being asked to take ex-
treme caution to prevent seri-
ous fires.
Northern Ontario has been
hit hard by numerous fires, and
a Clinton man, Jack Lepping-
ton, who returned from a
hunting trip this week, report-
ed that conditions were hazar-
dous for hunters.
He stated that things were so
bad he did not do much hunt-
ing, and advised local hunters
to reconsider plans if they had
intended to head north,
Careless smokers have been
blamed for numerous fires in
Western Ontario, where a
thoughtlessly tossed cigarette
butt can quickly ignite the dry
foliage on the ground,
Hunting seasons in some
areas have been cancelled due
to the fact farmers are con-
cerned over the fact that hunt-
ers have been responsible for
some of the fires which have
burned across acres of land and
threatened buildings.
Extreme care is requested
from all.

a busy time Friday, Around
4 o'clock in the afternoon it
was called to a fire at the
apiary on the farm of Mr, Kei-
zik on Highway 4, a mile south
of Londesboro.
The fire had apparently
spread from a burning brush
pile, and before it could be
controlled, four hives of bees
were destroyed.
Mr, Keizik had a similar
misfortune two years ago when
20 hives were lost by fire.
Around 7:00 o'clock the same
evening Blyth firemen were
called to the farm of John Van
den Assam, concession 8, Mor-
ris Township, when a pile of
burning flax straw on the farm
of George Nesbitt on the 9th
concession of Morris had gone
out of control and raced across
part of the farm of William
Blake, then on to the Van den
Assam farm,
It took the firemen four
hours to conquer the blaze and
prevent it from getting into a
nearby swamp which was tin-
der dry.
Several acres of grassland
were burned over.

Hockey League
Seeks Int. Squads
For Coming Year
F/O Dick Allan, RCAF Cl-
inton Recreation Officer a n d
president o fthe Big 8 OHA In-
termediate "B" Hockey League
reported this week that seven
teams have already signified
their intention of entering the
loop this season.
However, F/O Allan said he
was hopeful of having more
teams enter in order that the
group could be split into two.
Some discussion has already
taken place by the clubs re-
garding the formation of two
groups according .to the calibre
of the teams and playing an
inter-locking schedule between
these groups.
:Last season, there was a de-
cided difference in the calibre
of the top four clubs and the
bottom four.
An organizational meeting
will be held at the RCAF Cl-
inton Recreation Centre this
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m.
and any centres wishing, to
enter clubs ,or discuss the mat-
ter have been invited.
The following teams have in-
formed the league president of
their intent to enter: Forest
Lakesides, Lucan-Ilderton Com-
bines, Centralia RCAF Golden
Hawks, Clinton RCAF Thun-
derbolts, Seaforth Towners,
Milverton Topnotchers and a
new entry, St. Clemens,
It is a possibility that Mit-
chell and Exeter may join as
well, but one of last year's
squads, the Philipsburg Chevs,
are reported to have registered
with the WOAA.
Badminton Club
Announces Start
Of New Season
The Clinton and Area Bad-
minton Club commenced oper-
ations :for the coming season
last night, but there is still
plenty of time for new mem-
bers to join.
Official registration will be
held this coming Wednesday,
and is open to any ,adults-men
or women - in the district,
whether they have had badmin-
ton experience or not.
A nominal membership fee of
$2.00 for the entire season has
been set by the organization,
although beginners can have
three nights in which to try
out the sport before making up
their mind.
Over 50 members joined last
year..
Murray Draper is the coach
of the club and the president
is Larry Jones. Miss Sherry
Cochrane is secretary-treasurer.
The committee consists of
Mrs. Pat Mann, Bob McDonald,
Bill Hearn and Roger Jackson.
The club plays every Wed-
nesday night from 8:00 until
10:45 p.m. in the CHSS gym-
nasium.
Coach Draper reported he
hoped to arrange a few tourna-
ments this season, so the mem-
bers could test their skill with
members of other area clubs,

they scored one of the three
touchdowns, set up another and
kept the visitors oft the score

score in the frist quarter on
the dusty playing field, but

The Kinsmen explained they
had donated $650 for this equip-
ment, and noted it had not been
installed until the conclusion of
the playground sessions.
They noted they would have
volunteered their services if the
problem had been in securing
help to erect the swings, teeter-
totters and other equipment.
Mait Edgar, secretary of the
Recreation Committee, was in-
structed to reply to the letter
and offer the group's regret
that the equipment had not
been installed as early as plan-
ned, the reason being that the
local firm making it had not
finished it in time.
Bob Welsh, who was in
charge of the project ,explained
that the equipment had been
ordered a month before it was
needed, but had not been re-
ceived until after the closing
date of the playgrounds.
He also pointed out there had
been a general plea placed in
the paper for aid in erecting
the equipment and cleaning up
the playground areas, but only
one or two persons had volun-
teered their services.
Charge Players
A discussion was held on the
coming hockey season, and the
various service club representa-
tives reported their groups
would again sponsor minor all-
star teams.
The Legion will sponsor the
juveniles again, the Lions will
handle the midgets, the ban-
tams will be sponsored by the
Fish and Game Club, and the
Kinsmen will look after the
pee wees.
The Recreation Committee
decided to once again sponsor
a bantam-midget houseleague
for boys who do not make the
all-star teams in these categor-
ies.
Players will be charged $3.00
for playing in this loop, but
the money will cover insurance
costs and will provide sweaters
for the boys.
The Recreation Committee
also decided to write letters to
the Clinton Lions, the Public
School board and the Home and
School Association suggesting

turbances and show a complete
disregard for persons and pro-
perty," he remarked, ,
Noting that most of the pro-
blem was created by "big chil-
dren"-in their late teens or
early twenties-he said charges
would be laid against any of-
fenders,
Bad Situation
Sgt, Barker also asked the
News-Record to issue a request
for area farmers to fix up
their fences and gates to cur-
tail the number of accidents
involving cattle and other ani-
mals that have strayed onto the
roads.
Noting the incidence of such
accidents in the past few
weeks, he said there were alto-
gether "too many".
It's becoming a very bad
situation, he added, pointing
out that a little care by the
fernier% in fixing fences and
gates Would prevent the den-
gerons situations,
Such incidents aren't good
for the atiiiiials the fariiidit,
and certainly not for the m6.6
torists, he concluded,
on a miscue in their backfield
and en alert Gary Gardiner
fell on it at the Mitchell eight,
yard marker.
The offense came in, and on
their second crack at the short
yardage, McRae went over on
a quarterbaek sneak for the
second major and Lobb split
the uprights to make the score
13-0.
With five minutes left in the
game, Mitchell were forced
into a kicking situation at the
CHSS 40-yard line and the snap
went over the kicker's head and
three defenders raced in t o
a:.) him.
He managed to elude the
first man, but the ball squirted
out of his grasp and lanky
Mike Cushman from Exeter
scooped it up and headed for
the end zone.
With several CHSS blockers
following him, he had little dif-
ficulty in going all the way as
the Mitchell tacklers were
knocked clown en route to cat-
ching him.
Lobb was good again on the
convert and it upped the tally
to 20-0, the final score.
Although they had an easy
time against the lowly Mitchell
squad, the Redmen didn't look
too sharp at times and McRae

that the time of free skating
for the children be changed to
4:30 to 5:30.
At present, starting time is
4:00 p.m. and the children are
to be off the ice at 5:00.
Members noted that most of
the students could not be at the
arena and on the ice by 4:00,
as most took their hooks home
after school and also had to
spend time in putting on their
skates, thereby losing out on
much of the one hour session,
although the complete hour was
being charged to the Lions.
The committee pointed out
that by starting later, the stu-
dents would have more time
and would be able to take ad-
vantage of the complete hour.
The group also urged the
Home and School to provide
more supervision at the arena
during the skating sessions aft-
er school, as well as having
parents present to help the
younger children with their
skates.
During the discussion of the
coming winter season, the Com-
mittee learned that the town's
adult recreation hockey loop
would operate again this win-
ter and that the Figure Skating
Club had already commenced
plans on their activities.
In other business, the Com-
mittee:
• Welcomed 0. L. Engelstad as
the representative from the
Clinton Lions replacing the late
Hugh Hawkins, and Joe Atkin-
son, who will become the Kins-
men's representative in Janu-
ary replacing Bob Welsh.
Learned from correspondence
that the Community Programs
Branch had a loan service on
drama, music, library and film
supplies that could be obtain-
ed free by any interested per-
sons in the community.
Ordered the payment of ac-
counts amounting to $134.82.

He concluded his report by
