Conestoga College's Huron Centre, located at Vanastra (former CFB Clinton) was first opened in February of this year and now boasts an enrolment of 150 full-time students and 225 part-time students. The college offers both credit courses and non-credit courses for residents of Huron County. There is also adult training in courses sponsored by Canada Man- power. Mr. MacNaughton said that the opening of the centre was a milestone for Huron County. "I could not have predicted or promised that some day we would see the development of a permanent facility for post-secondary and adult education in Huron," he said. "I see it as one of the most significant developments that has occurred in Huron during, my stewardship as your provincial representative." Mr. MacNaughton said that the people of Huron should look at the opportunity the cen- tre offers for young people, adults, industries, for municipalities and individual and com- munity development. For residents of Clinton and area, night classes at Central Huron Secondary School will offer this winter a wide variety of in- teresting and educational courses designed for the whole family.

So far, CHSS will offer 15 courses with the possibility of more depending on public demand. Courses need at least 15 people registered to make it go.

Beth games were filled with ex- citement and the final outcome of each game was not decided until the Colts' final time at bat. In the afternoon contest the Colts won a thrilling extra inning game by a score of 2-1, It was a pitchers' dual in this contest with Clin- ton's Larry Pickett and Barry's Bay strong left-hander Gil Golka hooked up against one another. Larry struck out 12 batters while Golka struck out 12 Clinton batters. All three runs in the game were unearned. Barry's Bay took a 1-0 lead in the second in- ning, A bad throw to second base by catcher Butch Fleet enabled a runner to score from third base. Clinton tied the score 1-1 in the sixth inning when Stu Mustard hit a fly ball to left field where the left fielder dropped it, and Stu ended up on second base with nobody out. Then Stu took third base when Butch Fleet grounded out. With two out, Golka the Barry's Bay pitcher balked, forcing in the tying run. Clinton scored the winning run in the tenth inning. Doc Miller started the inning with a walk. Don Bartliff, in attempting to sacrifice Miller to second, bunted the ball towards the pitcher. The pitcher bobbled the ball allowing both runners to be safe. Stu Mustard also bun- ted, but this time Miller was cut down at third base on a close play. Butch Fleet struck out for the second out of the inning, Larry Pickett, who pitched brilliantly, hit the first pitch for a single to centre scoring Bartliff with the win- ning run. The' hit was only Clinton's third hit of the game, and it could not have come at a better time. Larry had two hits and Brad Dutot had the other Clinton hit. Barry's Bay picked up nine hits off Pickett. It was Larry's eighth win of the season against only one defeat. SECOND GAME In the evening game, the Colts exploded for eight big runs in the bottom of the eighth to defeat Barry's Bay 13-5. 'Stu'Mustard, in relief of starter Brad Dutot picked up the win to run his record for the season to 10 wins and 2 losses.

Doc Miller led off with a single. Laurie Colquhoun doubled with one out scoring Miller. Colquhoun scored when Stu BY WILMA OKE When William Brown of Egmondville sought a salvage yard licence in October 1968 on the four-acre lot in the southerly outskirts of Egmondville, he was warned by Tuckersmith Township Council that he was asking for trouble from his neighbours. He told Council he would meet those obstacles when they came, Council granted him the licence and Mr. Brown has been meeting obstacles ever since on the lot of land he bought from the township at a tax sale, Delegations from Egmondville residents have appeared before Council with complaints of salvage piled high in the yard, salvage piled outside the yard for long periods, numerous fires in the yard resulting in a run- ning battle with Mr. Brown, his neighbours and council, Tuesday night at its regular session Council was requested to enforce its by-law pertaining to salvage yards by London lawyer, Samuel Lerner, Q.C., appearing before Council with his cliehts Dr. Charles Moyo and Dr. Lorraine Roth Moyo of RR 4, Sea forth. Their hilltop home overlooks the yard. Another neighbour, William Papple of Egmondville was also at the meeting. Councillor Cleave Coombs of Egmondville stated, "When Dr. Moyo bought the farm, the (salvage) yard was already there." Mr. Lerner replied that Dr. Mayo bought the farm Mustard cracked out a single up the middle. Barry's Bay narrowed the score to 2.1 in the third and then scored four runs in the fifth to take a 5-2 lead. They scored their runs on the strength of four hits, an error and a walk off Brad Dutot. The Colts came back in their half of the fifth inning with two runs to cut the lead to 5-4. Stu Mustard started the rally with a single. Butch Fleet walked, and Hans Lepp, igton had an in- field single to load the bases, Don Bartliff came through with a two-run double with two out. Clinton tied the score in the sixth inning. With two out, Mustard hit his third consecutive single. He stole second base and came home when the shortstop dropped Butch Fleet's pop- up. This big• error gave Clinton a big lift. With the score tied 5-5, the Colts who have been noted for their explosive power in hitting all year, finally proved it again as they sent 13 batters to the plate in scoring eight runs to sew up their second straight O.B.A. championship. Laurie Colquhoun started the uprising with a single. Brad Dutot walked. The next two bat- ters were retired. Butch Fleet drove ' in Colquhoun and Dutot with a single. These two runs turned out to be the winning runs, but the Colts were not yet finished. Larry Pickett slam- med a double, scoring Fleet. Hans Leppington believing Council would enforce its own by- law. Mr. Lerner said that there was no doubt in his mind that there was a breach of the by-law which states that salvage must not be visible from the highway nor from any other adjacent property at ground level, Mr. Lerner asked Council why it was reluc- tant to prosecute the case, Reeve Elgin Thomp- son said at the next Council meeting Mr. Redmen beat G.D.

CNI13 these people were helped to return to a normal, happy, productive life. Right here in Clinton there are eight blind people who are being helped et an average cost of $200 for each person, Dr. Mowatt said. • Just to look after the blind people in town, Clinton should raise $1600 for the CNIB. In order even to approach this figure, 'those who can see should consider giving at least $2 or $3 when the can- vasser calls. Anyone who is inadvertently missed should get in touch with Rev. A,J.

Butch Fleet Larry Pickett, Hans Leppington, Doc Miller, Don Bartliff and Brad Dutot one hit each. After the game the Colts had a victory parade down the main street with the vic- torious players riding on the fire truck. For most of the players it was the third O.B.A. crown in the last ten years, The players and management of the Colts would like to thank the fans for their wonderful support they gave their team, not only on Saturday but all through the baseball season. It was very much appreciated. The Colts'record for the season stands at 26 wins and 6 losses, They won 3 trophies. One for ending up in first place in the Huron-Perth schedule, another for finishing in first place in the "C" division of the Huron Perth league; and of course, the last one, the O.B.A. cham- pionship trophy. Brown's friends from Egmondville would fill the council room and cited a previous meeting when a delegation appeared on behalf of Mr. Brown with the petition. Mr. Lerner said he doubted whether 90% of those people who signed the petition lived within one mile of the yard. Deputy-reeve, Alex McGregor asked Mr. Ler- ner, "Isn't this your responsibility to prove Brown is breaking the by-law?" Mr. Lerner replied, "All I'm complaining about is that you're not enforcing the by-law. The responsibility lies directly with Council. It is your by-law." Mr. Lerner said, "You have been giving him what I would call probationary licences when you only give him one for six months." Reeve Thompson said, "It's the only way we can control him." Mr, Thompson said that he and Deputy- continued from page 11 University night at Clinton soon Students from all over Huron County are expec- ted to attend the University Information Night next Thursday Oct. 12, at Central Huron Secondary School.
