Clinton Council briefs
CLINTON - It was the night to declare
weeks as special occasions at council's
September 21 meeting, as three groups
asked for proclamations.
The first was from the Ministry of Com-
munity and Social Services who asked that
the Town of Clinton declare October 5-11 as
Family Week. The second was from the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food who
wanted October 16 designated as World
Food Day and the third was from the Town
and Country Homemakers who wanted Oc-
tober 18-24 declared at Visiting
Homemakers' Week in Clinton.
The only request that caused some
discussion was the World Food Day pro-
clamation. Councillor Ross Carter felt the
money that would go towards advertising
the proclamation should be spent on sen-
ding food to a place that could use it.
'Mayor John Balfour didn't fully agree,
saying, ''We have a moral obligation to
back social services."
Councillor Gord Gerrits had another
suggestion. He felt the auditorium at the
town hall should be offered to the ministry
for the day.
This suggestion will be followed through
and the day proclaimed as requested. As
well, the other weeks will be proclaimed
with the proclamation for the Town and
Country Homemakers and World Food
Day to appear in the News -Record and the
Family Week to be proclaimed at the Oc-
tober 5 council meeting.
Public Works News
Reeve Bee Cooke, who is the chairperson
of committee .two, informed council that
the backhoe for the public works has arriv-
ed. She also said the sidewalk work on
Princess Street is near completion.
New Business
Councillor Case Buffinga brought a "for
your information" item to council's atten-
tion concerning a proposed race track
which could have a far reaching effect on
the Clinton race track.
"The City of Sarnia is trying to establish
a race track that will run five nights a
week ( including Sunday 1. If it goes
through, this could have a big effect on
Dresden, Goderich, Hanover and Clinton,"
he said. "It's going to mean an end to a lot
of small tracks."
Mayor Balfour commented on the need
for a race track in this town, saying, "The
raceway brings in a lot of money and pays
for a lot of upkeep at that park. -
Councillor buffinga will keep council
updated.
Goodwill Gesture
Councillor Gerrits suggested the Town of
Clinton make a goodwill gesture this
Christmas season.
"For the Christmas season, could we
'hand out parking tickets with a friendly
warning on there instead of a firre - sort of
like a goodwill gesture?"
Mayor Balfour felt it was a good idea,
stating that a lot of towns do us,e this
method.
One concern By-law Officer Murray
Taylor had was how many times would he
do this for one car. He was told that if he
gave a ticket to a car one day and found it
back the next, he should issue a ticket
which calls for a fine.
The suggestion will be forwarded to
committee one for a recommendation.
Sold
The police garage door that was adver-
tised for sale last week was sold to the only
bidder.
Murray Taylor put in a bid for $150 and
bought the door.
