Tar Daw Duke is stabled at a farm near Acton where his trainer Bob Marshall and his wife Joan live. Larry and Dennis, accompanied by Brent Daw and Ian Fleming, had reached Stratford when they were told that their horse would have to be scratched because they couldn't get him out on ac- • • w count of the snow. They returned home, only to find another message waiting for theta : that the horse was at the track in Toronto. About six o'clock they headed for the race, once more. Not only did Tar Daw 1)ul win his race but Shalako IV. owned by Ian's dad, Bill Fleming of Clinton, was a winner of the ninth race as well. He is in the Tom Strauss stable. No doubt the trip home was more enjoyable. Dapper Dillon, a six-year- old trotter owned by Doreen Rowcliffe of Hensall and Barry Elliott of Kitchener was a winner of the $7,500 trot at Windsor on Sunday night. This was his fifteenth win in 1977. Yankee Meadows N, finished first for his owner Ron Williamson of Seaforth at Flamboro on December 8, Margies Girl. owned by Ken Parke of Zurich and John Lester of Forest, picked 'up a win at Greenwood on Saturday afternoon in the sixth race. Quick Almahurst finished third for trainer -driver Tom Strauss and' owner Bill Fleming of Clinton in the eighth. At Flamboro on December 10, Joe McDaid of Goderich was second with Rossland Abbe, Shelly Duke, owned by Art Maskell of Goderich, finished second at Windsor the same night. Bill Rapson of Holmesville is vacationing in Florida at the present time. He went south with Ted and Alma McLean and George Feagan of Goderich on December 5. He will get a chance to see how the Clint Hodgins Stable operates since the McLeans spend their winterzs working there.

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1977—PAGE 7 Despite the heavy snow and chilly temperatures, the first Clinton Cub Pack dressed warmly and came out to take part in the mini Santa Claus Parade in Clinton last Saturday afternoon. (News -Record photo), Applications are opened for Hullett-McKillop building' inspector Hullett 'Council met with McKillop Township Council's on November 29 to discuss and open applications for the position of a joint building inspector and by-law en- forcement officer. However', the original plan of hiring a building inspector and by-law enforcement officer was changed to a building inspector only. Some 14 applications have been received so far and a meeting is scheduled fo'r December 19 to interview the following applicants: Bob Campbell, RR 2, Se.aforth John Henderson, RR 5, Clinton; Eugene McAdam, Clinton; Brian Sanderson, Brussels; James .Schneider, RR 1, Auburn; Ray Storey, RR 1, , Seaforth; Howard Wallace, Blyth. - No firm decisions have yet been made as to the method and amount that the new inspector will be paid. Hullett Council held their regular meeting in the Londesboro Community Hall on December 5. A court of revision was held on the Medd drain. James Medd was present at the meeting to question the assessment made on Mr. Roest which included costs of trucking excavated material from the ditch site. Medd felt that it was an under- assessment considering the extra work that was being done on the Roest property. The rate was the same that had been formerly used under other similar conditions. Council plans to ask Engineer Henry Uderstadt to give clear costs on ex- cavation, loading trucking and how far it is to truck the material from the Roest portion. They asked him not to refer back to the 1947 drain but look at the actual costs. Council .issued a building permit to Thomas Carter on the condition that there be an understanding that he has no recourse now or in the future to agriculture operations in the area that are also subject to township by-laws and the Huron County Health Unit;_ Other building permits were issued to P. Westerhout, lot 36, con. 9, an implement shed; V. Morris, lot 2, con. M.B., porch and garage; B. Wallace, lot 15, con. 11, shed ; K. Dykstra, lot 24, con. 6, a drive shed; Thomas Cun- ningham, lot 37, con. 13, an implement shed; J. DeJong, lot 27, con..13, broiler barn. Council ' accepted the 15th application for the Ontario Horne Renewal Plan loan and appointed Joe Gibson and Greg Brandon as inspectors. Hullett Council heartily supported a resolution from the Township of Sandwich West which asked for changes in the Highway Traffic Act. The proposed change would state that vehicle owners should be fined for illegally passing a school bus without the actual identity of the driver being established. Presently, the law states 'that a bus driver must be able to identify the vehicle driver and have the license plate number before charges can be laid. Smile Horse sense? Wasn't it the horse who was afraid of the automobile at the turn of the century, when pedestrains were laughing at it? Figure skating club news Could a cookbook become an endangered species? Not really, since our Clinton Figure Skating Cookbook hasn't even hatched yet. However, it won't become a reality if the favourite recipes are not submitted to the president, Barb Norman, We need 36 more recipes, so come on, you rascals, let's get this project off to the press. Tak,e 10 minutes right now, copy out your recipe and place it in figure skater's> skate. That way it's sure to get to the arena by' Saturday. More young members are in the news this week, Tracy MacDonald and Jodi Mustard passed their beginners badge. Those who passed the fourth badge called basic are Shannon Preszcator, Steven Preszcator, and Jim Crawford. Congratulations to you. Parents, here is a problem to check your child's skates for : check to see if the blades have been mounted squarely on the boot. Sometimes a child struggles to pass a test for quite some time—before someone thinks to check if the blades have been mounted properly. We have had this problem before and- it has happened again this year. Also, have your skates' sharpened by a reputable skate sharpener. D.o not have the picks ground off. They are required in figure skating as the skater gets further ad- vanced. The resale value on the skates would drop con- siderably as well. The secretary, Carol Fox has in her keeping small lapel pins selling at $2.50 entitled "Western Ontario Section Figure Skating." Salo., of these pins supports the WOSFS Bursary Award. (Last year our seniors sold raffle tickets for cash prizes in support of this same bursary.) Two of our local skaters received a small grant from this fund last year. Skaters love to wear several lapel pins so we hope you'll consider buying one, thus supporting the fund, Carol will have some at thee° arena on Saturday.—by Audrey Middleton. Know Some News?
