THE WINGliAM ADVANCE-TIMES rAop..rrvip
grant in lieu of
to Crown-owned
gible for a federal
taxes with respect
property.
For almost two years Mr. McLean
has been holding discussions with
the Minister of Finance and officials
of the finance department, pointing
out the situation that exists in whol-
ly rural municipalities when there are
established in such municipalities na-
tional defence installations, R.C.A.F.
station, Clinton, is located in Tucker-
smith Township and Centralia is in
Stej?heri Township.
Under existing legislation munici-
palities, in order to qualify for a grant
in lieu of taxes, must provide certain
services to the federal property, but in
the case of stations such as those at
Clinton and Centralia, which are lo-
cated in rural townships, the provision
of the specified services is not pos-
sible. At the same time the rural
municipalities have been unable to
levy taxes as a result of there having
been removed from the assessment
rolls the property owned by the
Crown, The municipalities, too, have
had to previde for additional expenses
because of the increased use which
is made of township roads by traffic
proceeding to and from the airforce
stations.
With the assistance of data furn-
ished by county assessor, Alex Alex-
ander, county treasurer, A. H. Ers-
kine and the clerks of Tuckersmith
and Stephen, Mr. McLean was able
to impress on the department the
merit of the claims of rural muni-
cipalities and of the county for com-
pensation in lieu of the taxes which
they would have received had there
not been located within the muni-
cipalities' Crown-owned property.
That the department agreed with
the arguments which were presented,
was indicated this week with the ap-
pearance of supplementary estimates
wherein is provided an amount which
will enable a grant to be paid rural
municipalities which have, within their
boundaries, defence installations.
While details of the regulations which
will govern the payment of the grants
have not yet been finalized, the ne-
cessary funds were voted at the pres-
ent session of Parliament, and pay-
ment to the municipalities will be
Made during the present year, It is
not possible until the regulations are
finalized to indicate the amount of
payment which each of the munici-
palities will receive, Mr. McLean
said, but it is expected that it will be
in en amount Which will adequately
compensate the municipalities for
their loss in general taxes, The pay-
Merit will be made annually.
Mr. McLean pointed out that a re-
presentative of the department is ex-
pected to visit the county within a
short time to discuss with the muni-
cipalities 'concerned the details of
their claims and provide necessary
assistance in completing applications
for the grants,

July is just around the corner and
for the first time since the warm
happy days in Fort Lauderdale, the
Toronto Maple Leafs are looking
over the shoulder with apprehensive
eyes, To this point, first place Mont-
real has always been the objective.
First in '52, Jack Cooke's theme song,
was the only chant,
But all of a Sudden, with the In-
ternational League's halfway mark in
sight, there's an ominous rumble from
the poor folks and the Leafs have a
first division challenger. Once far
removed from the babble beneath
them, they're struggling to outdis-
tance Springfield, whose excellent
pitching staff is starting to get some
hitting support, The Leafs dropped
five in a row for the first time this
season in the wake of a fantastic
turnout of 19,500 for a Sunday double
bill with Montreal. Getting a split
there, they seemed set to challenge
but then they moved into Spring-
field for three straight whippings.
That, together With loss of the sec;
and game to Montreal and the open-
er of a three-game set in Baltimore
produced the five-game losing streak,
And, even getting a win in Balti-
more, they were close to absorbing a
sixth defeat. Eleventh inning homers
by Lew Morton and Mary Rickert pro-
duced an 11-7 victory but the Leafs
got into trouble right away by drop-
ping the closing Oriole engagement on
Russ Kern's three-run homer. Eddie
Stevens, who had a dreadful time
moving from Home run No. 7 to No.
8, has started going again, knocking
in all Leaf runs in the 5-3 reverse.
The road trip concluded one of the
International League's greatest ex-
periments — that of turning Wilmer
Fields from a star in the intercounty
League in 1951 to a sparkler of equal
dimensions in triple-A in 1952, When
Fields broke his wrist as he collided
with the left field bleachers in
Springfield, it eliminated any further
frustrations for the big outfielder and
his manager, Joe Becker. Even if
Fields' wrist knits quickly it's doubt-
ful if it will be strong enough this
season to settle the problem of wheth-
er he belongs in the International
League. Fields never was the one
thing Toronto needs to be a perman-
ent contender, if not a pennant win-
ner — a slugger. That is, he never
was in the International League. In
the Inthrctunty and in the Cuban
Winter League, he terrorized the
pitchers but around Toronto he was
beginning to terrorize only the cus-
tomers who waited vainly for him to
hammer home those runs.
Mary Rickert, a $20,000 investment,
has been acceptable but hardly any-
thing stronger than that. He has, fill-
ed in adequately but Cooke did not
send .20,000 to Baltimore for a some-
body to fill in adequately. What he
hoped for was a slugger, something
the club still needs.
Without one, in fact, the Leafs will
do well to be First in '52 — and we
mean first division, not first place,
Harvey Knight
To Build Pool
The Goderich Town Council has
gratefully accepted an offer from
Harry W. Knight, Toronto, to build
a swimming pool in the Judith Good-
erham Memorial Playground.
One of the finest of its kind in
Canada, the playground was made
possible by contributions of consider-
able amounts by Mr. and Mrs. Kinght.
Officially opened on August 12, 1949,
it was given to the town as a mem-
orial to Judith Gooderham, the little
granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Knight and the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. George Gooderham of Toronto.
Mr, Knight, who lived here 48 years
ago, just recently made a contribution
of $3,000 to the Lions Club Memorial
Arena floor fund.
Open Sundays
"'There is only one condition that
I will make in connection with this
gift," Mr. Knight told members of
the Town Council whom he met at
the playground on Monday afternoon,
"and that is that the pool be open on
Sundays.
"Whatever expenses are entailed
are included in the offer," he said.
This will include bath house facilities
and a public address system for the
playground, Mr. Knight told the
council to have plans and specifica-
tions prepared by an architect and
submitted to him for approval and
then ,to go ahead with construction
of the pool.
Council members lost no time in
preparing for construction of the pool.
On Tuesday a delegation visited sev-
eral pools in Western Ontario eom-
munities to study their construction
and Operation, It is expected the new
pool Will be built north-cast of the bath
house used at present in conjunction
with the wading pool.
On the invitation of Mayor J. E.
Hueltins, Mr. Itnight also promised
to appear at the Old Horne Week
opening ceremonies on Monday, Aug-
ust, 4, and to speak briefly to those
present.
'Although dimensions of the pool
