Clinton Level
Minster of defence Paul
liellyer's long awaited White

• House of Commons, is not ex-
pected to bring any changes to
RCAF Clinton for at least some
time.
F/L J. M, Gibson, Public Re -
lotions Officer at ,Clinton, said
the move to integrate the three
services was starting at the
top and it would be some time
before it would reach "our
level".
"We welcome the change and
it appears to be a move in the
right direction as it win be
more efficient," he added.
The area RCAF station has_
three 'schools, all of which
would 'still be necessary for
training of personnel in the

tact their township hog direc-
tor for application forms.

who are 16 as of January 3.
and tinder 21 as of December

take the second year project.
They will keep records on,
their 1963 sow and her litter.
This market hog project is de-
signed basically for senior mem-
bers.

second year projects, will be
organizing in the Londesbero

He said he was surprised—in
a disappointing way — that
Council had failed to act = on the
suggestions he made at that
dariter being introduced by.
Mayor W, J. Miller, the Toron-
to man confteted an informal
meeting around the council
table with the 13. persons pre-
sent and once again stressed
the fact that the only effective
way for planning for Clinton's
future was to eventually have
all four area townships sit
drown and look at the area's
tflovtes.
ure with Clinton represer4a-
"The real end in. serving your
planning need S would be in hav-
ing the four townships involv-
ed," he explained.
He suggested the Clinton and
District Chamber of Commerce
conduct a municipal night on
planning with representatives
of the four area townships pre-
sent.
"This will bring us running,"
Mr. Pearson noted, addingthat
this was the type of meeting
the Community Planning
Branch preferred when plan-
ning was being considered by a
community.
Clinton Kinsmen Push Member For Post
Malt Edgar, CHSS teacher and one of Clinton's most avid sportSrnen, has
entered a two-man fight for the post of Kinsmen District Governor. While the
job will require a vast amount of time and work, it will be nothing new to
Malt. This scene, showing members of the pee wee squad pushing their skates
towards Mait to be tied before a game in the Goderich tournament, is one that
he can be found in most Saturday mornings and two or three night S of every
week, in only one of his many activities. (News -Record Photo)
He went on to say that in
the past the community may
not have thought it important
to consider joining with neigh-
boring -townships, but that this
was now being quickly chang-
ed.
The speaker pointed out the
tact .that some small industries
were already being established
in the townships and that many
houses were being built there,
requiring services from the
town.
The small group was told
that despite the fact 'farmers
were dependent upon towns for
shopping and other services, in
many instances they were not
willing to sit down and assist
in area planning and develop-
ment.
Poor Economy
Stressing the need for town-
ships to join in the planning,
he stated that houses being
built in scattered areas of a
township cost the township
more in providing education
and services than they were re-
ceiving in taxes.
Unless the borne is in the
$30,000 bracket or more, and
unless there are less than two
children, the costs created by
these harries are greater than
the taxes corning in Mr, Pear-
Sonehexplaainelt

"We are still deeply concern-
ed with the ever-increasing de-
mand for ,admittance to Huron-,

Hayter, of Stephen, said in
the board of management re-
port. "We have renovated the
ground floor area and this is
now being put into use; how-
ever, the demand continues."
"We did advertise for homes
which might consider taking in
senior citizens on the same bas-
is as being residents of Huron -
view. There was a good re-
sponse, and these applications
will be reviewed by the pro-
vincial authorities before any
further action is taken."
"In Welland this seems to be
working well. . We do not seem
to have too many people to go
out into these homes and stay
there. Then we have to be able
to take these people back in
