R, 'Higgins' number, which is now .57. a LITTLE LOCALS.

Y., for the past eleven years, has resigned his secretaryship there to take up the work of organizing the Y. M. C. A. in Alliance, Ohio, which is said to be a field of great promise. The Auburn press sneaks in the highest terns of Mr. Irwin's work and of his fine dualities as a citizen. Clinton boys usually do "come to honour" when they go but into: the big world HAVE GONE TO SIMCOE. ' Mr. W. H. Davison was up from Sinteoe for Easter and removed his family the beginning of .the week to that town. The Davison family were not very long residents of Clinton but they are just the sort of people we like and we are sorry to lose them as citizens. They made many friends while in town and the good wishes of these follow them to their ne* abode. We heartily eonunend them to the citizens of Simcoe and trust they may be happy and pros- perous there. UMBRELLA CAUSED MISHAP. The following from The Mail and Empire refers to a former Clinton girl. Her friends will be pleased to hear she was not more seriously in- jur "`Lued:lu B. Howe, aged 24, Gf 78 Roncesvalles Avenue. was shaken up and bruised and cut about the head and body when struck by a motor car driven by Ernest Thorp, 51 Wright, Avenue, on Roncesvalles Av- enue last night. The ,auto belongs to„ the Lakeview Garage, 25-29 Ron- cesvalles Avenue, It was south bound on Roncesvalles Avenue when Miss Howe. stepped from the side- walk, with an umbrella obscuring her vision. She walked. into the car and was struck by the mudguard." WILL ENFORCE ACT. The Adolescent Act. passed at last session of. Parliament and which be- comes effective Sept. 1, 1921, requires that children shall be kept at school until they are sixteen years of age. According to an announcement re- cently made by the Hon. Mr. Grant this Act will be enforced strictly though the Minitser says: "We will be reasonable and enforce it grad- ually," Children who are fifteen and who have been working for a year will not be forced back to school. But it is inferred that par- ents are expected to co-operate in having the Act made effective. LISTS BEING REVISED. Citizens the e s of towns whose names are not already, on the voters' list, that is the list used in the last pro- vincial election, should see that they are put on this week, otherwise they cannot vote in the coming referen- dum. Go in person to the revising officer, who in Clinton is Col. Rance, and see that your name is put on. This applies to all, men and women, who have come of age since the last pro- vincial election or to anyone who has taelcn up residence in .the electoral district since that time and who has beep a resident in it for throe months. In- the country districts the lists are not being reviosd but there is no need of anyone failing to, record his or her vote. Anyone entitled to a vote may go to the polls on vot- ing clay and densand a ha11ot and on taking the necessary declaration, it will be given him or her, • Telt revision of the lists is taking place this week and after Saturday it will be too late to do anything. Anyone who wishes to record a vote on' April 18th will need to see that his or her name is put on before Saturday night. A BUSINESS CHANGE. Another business change has taken place in Clinton,,'Mr. P. Henderson, who bought out Mr, 13. Bartliff, baker and restaurant keeper, early in• December Iast'year. having sold out to Mr. Fred Johnston of Georgetown. It appears Mr. Johnston wanted to buy the business when it changed hands before but Mr. Henderson got ahead of film, He even offered Mr. Henderson a good snni for his bar- gain but his offer was not accepted. Now, so we understand, he has made a substantial increase in his offer and takes possession at .once. . . Mr. Henderson had rented Mr. J. W. Stevenson's house in the south end of the town and intended 'mov- ing into it this spring but now the probability is that he will leave town. Mr, 0 tank Hollvman, who has en- gaged with Mr. Johnston as baker, however, and who will have to leave. the cottage .he is i onR t a tta tent ur b Y street, wheel'clt has been lou hb by Mr r Wtfltatu.,, has taken over the Stev- ernsen house, and will sllortiy oecupy it. Me. Henderson has not yet fully decided where ho will locate, Clint- tort citizens are sen'y to have the fltMti1y' leave town, The Pastime Club had an Easter 'dance on Monday evening. March leaves us weeping this year and we have some cause to feel sorry, too, for March treated us rather well. • Next Thursday, 'April 7th, is the day of Clinton's spring Show. Hope the weatherman is generous in giv- ing us a fair day. • Miss Helen Manning celebrated her birthday on Monday by enter- taining a number of little friends to an Easter party.
