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

a chairman and volunteers are not found.

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.

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

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

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.

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)

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.

• 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,

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
