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, The Canadian pacific is the largest priviittlykrettied railroad in the World.

Trent Frayrie 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.
