Clinton may get another Winter Carnival this year if enough support and fluids can be found, The Carnival is tentatively scheduled for February 2 to 12, 1973 making it the longest ever but plans may not get off the ground if a chairman and volunteers are not found. Don Jefferson is Organizing A meeting to There is the possibility of Clinton having two elections this December when only three people were nominated for the six seats open on council. None of the present council members said they would be returning. As a result of the vacancies, Town Clerk Cam Proctor has to open nominations again and if more than three people put in their names, then another election would have to be called on December 18. Clinton voters will only go to the polls to elect a mayor and a deputy-reeve. BY WILMA OKE A large crowd attended the new Brucefield United Church Sunday morning for the dedication service of two plaques to the memory of the dead of two wars, Robert Dalrymple of Brumfield and J. Carlyle Cornish of Seaforth, both veterans of World War II and prisoners of war, un- veiled the plaques which were dedicated by Rev. E. Donald Stuart of RR 1, Centralia. Mr. Stuart presented a large Bible to the church in memory of his mother, Lottie Susann Stuart, and this was dedicated by Rev. Paul M. Packman, the Brucefield minister. A plaque in memory of former members of the congregation was unveiled by Mrs. William a Scott and John Broadfoot, both of Brucefield. Mrs. John Henderson and Mrs. Lorne Wilson, both of Brucefield, presented 60 new hymn books purchased by the memorial (Late flash: There will be no election in Bayfield as Reg York has dropped out of the race for council on the advice of his doctor.) BY MILVENA ERICKSON Five candidates have been nominated to fill four positions for Councillors for the Village of Bayfield, so a Municipal Election is assured for December 4, The present reeve, Ed Oddleifson was ac- claimed reeve for the coming two year term as no one contested his seat. This, and some of the accomplishments of the present council were aired at a public meeting called by Council last Monday night. Gordon Graham, village clerk, acted as chairman for the meeting which was atten- ded by a good representation of interested residents, Mr. Graham called on the reeve who thanked those people who had signed his nomination paper and had seen fit to place their confidence in him, He also outlined some of the highlights of the past year: the completion of the Aerial Survey; the joining of the Bayfield-Ausable River Authority, who had assisted greatly (financially) in the Aerial Survey; a traffic by-law which had been approved by the ministry; the Beach Separate school salaries settled BY WILMA OKE Trustee Michael Connelly of R.R.3, Kip- pen, chairman of the salary negotiating committee, advised the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board Monday that an arrangement had been reached with its teachers for the contract year 1972.73. In the agreement ratified by both groups Monday night, the 156 teachers of the board will receive an increase of 8.72 per cent. Mr. Connelly pointed out there is an increase in the number of teachers over last year — three oral French teachers and two special education teachers. Salary ranges for the elementary school teachers in Categories 1 to 7 respectively, are: $5,500 to $7,600 (last year $5,400 to $7,400); $6,000 to $9,100 (last year $5,900 to $8,800); $6,500 to $10,700 (last year $6,400 to $10,100); $7,200 to $12,400 (last year $7,100 to $11,900); $7,400 to $12,900 (last year $7,400 to $12,200); $8,400 to $13,200 (last year $8,300 to $13,100); $8,900 to $13,700 (last year $8,800 to $18,600). Contributions by the board to hospital (contlfted On page 2) be held next Thursday November 23 at 8 pan, at the Clinton Community Centre, Mr, Jefferson says that everyone is invited and especially those clubs who participated last year,- They include the Lions Club, Kim- amen And Kinette Clubs, the Legion and Legion Auxiliary, The Women's Institute, Eeta Sigma Phi, the Recreation Committee Town Council and area schools. Russ Archer, a present councillor mem- ber, will oppose incumbent mayor Don Symons for the top job and Councillor Bill Crawford will oppose incumbent deputy- reeve Frank Cooke for that post. (For a complete rundown of all the candidates, see the story elsewhere on this page.) At council meeting last Monday night, members gave their reasons for either seeking another post or retiring. Harold Lobb is the Reeve for another fund committee. John Broadfoot, chairman of this committee, reported other purchases made from this fund included: a communion set, offering plates, hymn plates, the plaques, a large cross for the outside wall near the front door, church sign boards, cur- tains for the choir, projector and screen for the church school, and he said the remain- der of the fund would be used to purchase more new hymnaries. Mr. Stuart preached the sermon. He was minister at the old Brucefield church when it was destroyed by fire two years ago on November 20, 1970. The Huronia Male Choir assisted the Brucefield choir when they sang two an- thems, "My Anchor Holds" and "The Old Rugged Cross." Special guests at the service were mem- bers of Seaforth Branch No. 156 and Clin- ton Branch No. 140, Royal Canadian Legion. Management Agreement which is in progress to orderly develop the Harbour; an arrangement to have a switch placed in the electrical circuit, so as not to have a loss of power such as occurred last year during the continued on page 11 The question of whether Clinton should take over the roads in the Huron Pines sub- division arose at Clinton Council last Mon- day night. The roads and services in the subdivision must be approved by the town and the ministry of transportation and com- munication before the town can take over the streets. The town had signed an agreement with the developer of Huron Pines, Bud Kuehl, last year and according to several coun- cillors, that agreement hasn't been met and the town can't take over the roads and hence plow them this winter until that agreement is fulfilled. The original agreement signed by the town and Bud Kuehl oiled for phase one to be 80 percent completed before phase two was started, At present, there is only one house in phase one and three houses in phase two. The council asked Town Clerk Cam Proc- tor to set up a" meeting between the developerl- Burns and 'Ross, who are the term and he told council he would seek the Wardens seat. "Clinton hasn't had a War- den since 1934 when George Elliott-had the post," he said. Deputy-Reeve Frank Cook told council he had sold his hotel and would have more time to devote to council and could better serve the community. Clarence Denomme said he would not run for a council seat again because of business commitments but he would remain on the Industrial Commission. "This is one ratepayer who won't criticize council in the future," he said. Councillor Jim Armstrong said he was also retiring because "I've been on council seven years and I would like to see some younger people run." He said he lost more friends while on council than he gained, but he enjoyed the debates and arguments. Councillor Joe Atkinson said he wouldn't run again because of the nature of his business which requires him to work at night and conflicts with council meetings. He said his business was entertainment but "there was a lot of entertainment here (at council) BY KEITH ROULBTON The biggest problem in improving service of farm machinery parts from manufac- turers to farmers is transportation, accor- ding to Hal Wright, secretary-manager of the Ontario Farm Machinery Board. Speaking to the annual meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture held Nov. 8 in Clinton, Mr. Wright said that although manufacturers ,are trying to im- prove their parts service all the time, they are hampered by poor transportation. He said railway express services were no longer interested in carrying small items and there are so many trucking companies in the province that scheduling becomes a problem. A possible answer, he said, is the new bus parcel express depot in Toronto which can speed small parcels to their consulting engineers for both the developer and Clinton; Clinton's solicitor Beecher Menzies; and the ministry of transportation and communication. In other business, council passed a request by Bell Telephone to hook their new $104,000 building to the town's sewer on Orange Street. Councillor Atkinson told council that Clinton police have charged three juveniles in connection with a break-in at. Merrill's TV last month. Police also report that about 80 per cent of the $200 worth of transistor radios and other goods have been recovered and the boys, one whom is only 11 years old, will ap- pear in juvenile court. Police also report a break-in at Goldewor. too." • Russ Archer who is seeking the mayors post said he had enjoyed his three years on council but he said that "it's time the people had a choice for mayor." Bill Crawford, who gave up his council seat to run for deputy-reeve, said "the people have the right to choose who they sent to County Council because towns are in a minority there." He said that when he came to council, it was predicted that Clin- ton would become a ghost town when the base closed but Clinton has proved the prophets wrong. Mayor Don Symons, who will be seeking his fifth term at the helm, said he thought of retiring but he was frightened at the prospect of the province thinking the smaller municipalities weren't responsible anymore. "If they aren't interested all control will be taken away from them," he said, Councillor Norm Livermore resigned his post Monday night to work part-time for the, town. He said he had enjoyed his stay on council and regretted having to leave. destination faster than other means of tran- sportation. Companies shipping in parts from the United States, he said, often run into delays because customs officials work only 9 to 5 hours and parcels can be held up overnight or over a weekend. Mr. Wright said that since the new Farm Machinery Board was formed in June most of the work has involved investigating far- mers' complaints. All but two or three of the 80 complaints have been resolved, he said. Members of the five man board have also toured farm manufacturing plants in Canada and the U.S. to see what facilities the companes .had for parts. In one plant, he said, the parts department covered- 25 acres under one roof. He said that most problems in companies (continued on page 2) more Christmas lights had been purchased and all lights would be up on December first, Council was also informed that the police have purchased a walkie-talkie to connect the constables on foot patrol with the police car or the radio in the main office. Plans to purchase another police car were shelved for discussion at another time. ray's Station on Victoria Street last Friday night. About $20 was stolen.
