(June 14) There were nearly as many people uptown on Tuesday to see a house moved
through town as there are for many major events. They came to watch an army of house
movers, utility workers, police, public works men, and tree cutters operate in a smooth
co-ordinated fashion to move a house from 146 Ontario Street to a lot behind the North
End Store on the Auburn Road. The move, which will cost nearly $15,000 including the
cost to remove and replace dozens of wires took nearly six hours, but went off without a
hitch, and resulted in very little damage to the 33 by 55 foot home. The roof was cut off the
house to reduce Its height to,20 feet and replaced later.
Wet birthday for Auburn
July 5, 1979
.Auburn could have
been called- anything but
"dry" hamlet over the
weekend as a steady rain
poured down on the area
turning .it into a
quagmire. Despite the
lack of co-operation from
the weatherman, spirits
were 'certainly not
dampened at Auburn's
125th anniversary
celebrations.
While the midway stood
idle and several major
events, including the
tractor pull and the
children's races, •were
cancelled because of the
-rain and resulting mud,
the four-day celebrations
were deemed a success.
Thousands donned
raincoats and rubber
boots and carried um-
brellas to attend .many
events. A steady downfall
of rain didn't hamper the
gigantic parade Saturday
afternoon that hurriedly
wound its away thatigh the
hamlet's i)li'efitiOtkAlle-
hour-and-&:fiff 'parade
featured over 106 entries.

After a lengthy
discussion Monday night,
Clinton council found that
the general concensus of
25 'people, present at the
Monday night council
meeting, was that they
-- wanted a pool in town.
With this, Clinton
council has recom-
mended the acceptance
of the tender of Kelly
Lynn from Hyde Park for
the construction of a full
sized and training pool at
the cost of $184,602.
A new betting record
was set at the Clinton
Kinsmen Raceway on
July 7. For the second
week in a row, 1,774 race
fans pushed $98,983
through the mutuel
machines, bettering a
mark of, $90,419 set back
on September 4, 1977.
Last Sunday's near
$100,000 bet beat a record
of $92,789 set just the
week before on July 1.
The Clinton Post Office
lost one of its senior
employees recently, with
the retirement of George
Rumball.
The entire staff of the
post office turned out at a
special dinner in honor of
Mr. Rumball on June 8.

Mtntstry wants
poo meeting
July 19, 1979.,
The Ontario ministry of
culture and recreation
has ordered Clinton to
have an open public
meeting to _ discuss the
proposed swimming pool
for the town.
The ministry feels that
there has not been enough
public input into the pool
plan, since a public
meeting last November
overwhelmingly en-
dorsed a proposal to go
ahead with a -dew pool.
The Ministry said it
wants "visible com-
munity support” before it
gives out the grants, or
else the town will have to
come up with thelull cost
themselves.
_ Four Grade 13 students

• "June 7, 1979
The 125th anniversary
of the Clinton Spring Fair
was a huge success, say
officials of the Central
Huron Agriculture
Society. Fine weather, an
excellent program and
added attraction.s
combined to bring in over
9,000 people to the three-
day event.
One of the highlights of
the fair was the 45 -minute
parade on Saturday,
which attracted the
largest numbers of en-
tries in decades and
featured the Ontario
Massed Pipe and Drum'
Band.
A women's soccer club
has been formed in
Clinton. Fleming's Feed

John Preston will coach
the team, with assistance
from Alex Harrett.

85 people learned that the

stressed this point and
noted, that some structure
would be built, even if it is
only large enough for
office space.

its title as the white bean
capital of Canada if a
trend continues in the
county by farmers.
White bean plantings in
the county this year are
down about 40 per cent,
according to agricultural
experts. This means
25,000 fewer acres are in
the. consumer crop in
Huron this year,
Canada's leading bean
growing area.

retired Bayfield post-
master and Berthena

(June 7) It was hard to tell' who was squealing the most,
the excited children or the playful baby pigs. The piglets
were only one of the great attractions at Old McDonald's
Farm, set up at the Clinton Fair. Children and adults alike
thoroughly enjoyed watching the babies play with one
another and fight for a drink of milk from their mother.

When the municipal
-clerks learned .thaf a
reduction of Bayfield's
education levy would
mean more costs for their
municipality, they turned
thumbs down on the
village.
At the
treasurer's
municipal
meeting
ij
Monday, the the application
by gayfield to have its
education levy trimmed
from $102,636 to $9,323
was rejected. The move
by the treasurers was a
complete turnabout from
a decision made on a
similar application from
Bayfield.one year ago.
