Quite a large deputation went to Goderich yesterday afternoon to re- present the Clinton Public Hospital when the county hospitals committee appeared before the county counci, The , deputation appearing before the last meeting entire!' ov- erlooked the Clinton hospital, and, in view of the splendid record made by this hospital sines it was re -opened a couple of years ago, this was considered a pity. The hospital board has been very well satisfied with the assistance granted so far by the council but it is felt that Clin- ton is entitled to its full share of any assistance given county hospitals and the time is corning when exten- sion will , be necessary. Messrs. W. Brydone, Mrs. W. Manning and Dr. Gandier spoke for the deputa- tion. -. ORDAINED LAST WEEK.

The. biggest question considered by the General Assembly of the Pres- byterian Church, convened in Toronto cluing the past week, was that of church 'union. The debate upon it was taken up by many of the com- missioners, sone for, some against, and many eloquent addresses were heard, One of the most thrilling appeals was heard when, according to a re- port in the Toronto papers: "Dr. Drummond of Hamilton closed his eloquent appeal for a united advance" of the clans by quoting the old Jac- obite song beginning: 'The standard on the braes o' Mar Is up and streaman' rarely; The gathering pipes fro Lochna ?gar ' Are tounclin' laud and sanlvm' Turning to the Moderator (who is familiarly known as "Charlie" Gor- don), the speaker went on to adapt the names et the speakers on both sides of the debate to the olcd ballad: `The Gordon men, the Fraser amen, MeaGregor's men and MurraY's men And man to than, and in the vagi, We'll win and deo for Charlie.' The recital was concluded amid a deafening volume of applause, and many an unonotional Scot was seen brushing the teatsfrom his eyes," 011 Tuesday the vote or union was taken and on a•voto of 414 to 107 it Was decided to "take such stone aft may be (Monied best to eonsumate organic union with the Methodist and Congregational Churches of Canada as expeditiously. as pesssiblo," PUBLIC ;GIBrlARY HOURS' ' June Meeting of the Town Council Beginning next week the ;Public Library ' wtll observe the weekly holi- day and will remain closed all day Wednesday during the remainder of the summer.

The annual meeting' of the Fraill Bowling Association took place last Monday at Stratford when the fol- lowing officers were elected for the year: Hon. -President, A,. Frail], Strat- ford. President, W. Jackson, Clinton. Sec. -Treasurer, T. S. Ford, Mitchell The annual tournament will be held at Mitchell on Wednesday, June 22nd, The Clinton Bowling Club was re- presented at this meeting by Messrs. W. Jackson and J. Wiseman. GARDENERS, TRY THIS. A Tuckersnith township lady, who was formerly very much annoyed by birds eating her green peas and oth- r things in her garden, told us the other day that she had been able to scare them off very effectively by leaving an umbrella hoisted in the garden. She drives a fork handle, or other long stick, firmly into the ground and then ties the umbrella handle to this about three feet from the ground. It is rather strange how this should have the effect of fright- ening off birds when a scarecrow, no matter how scaresome it is, fails, but it is a simple thing and worth trying. We have not heard whether it would keep birds from cherry trees. If so it would be a boon to these owning cherry trees. LITTLE LOCALS. The I. 0, 0, F. dance on Friday ev- ening- last was quite a success. Who stole the night constable's clock? Them'e's trouble brewing for :tine miscreant, whomsoever he may be. The Huron CountyTemperance Al- liance will hold their annual conven- tion in Clinton on Wednesday after- noon and evening, June 22nd. The Huron Regiment goes into camp for nine days tomorrow at Carling Heights, London, The sol- diers have dome some real soldiering since last they met in camp. AN ACCIDENT. While assisting among the menu- nments our Saturday last Mr. J. D. Atkinson of the firm of Ball & At- kinson, met with an accident which might easily have been much. more serious. He was bending clown do- ing something when the big crane, used for hoisting the stones, missed a cog somehow and descended, strik- ing him on the back. Fortunately t+ stone kept it from falling with full force, which would have crushed him, but a small bone in his ankle war broken and his back hurt somewhat. He is able to get about a little with tine aid of crutches and it is hoped will soon be all right again. Two other citizens have been us- ing Crutches for some time, Mr. T, McKenzie, who has had an injured foots and Mr. E. Ward, who had Iris leg crushed badly a fortnight or so ago. SUMMARY OF SPORTS.

The Detain ,football team ,,lays 10 MASA tam MOW 'evening, The' town couneil met on Monday evening, Mayor McMurray in the chair and all members present, with the mention of CSunciltae Langford, After the reading of the minutes of last general and adjourned meeting of the council cmnmunications wero read as follows: From the Girls' Auxiliary, present- ing to -the town .the drinking four.- tain recently pieced in the station park and asking that the town add it to the waterworks system. On mo- tor of Councillor ` Cooper and Reeve Miller the clerk was instructed to "acknpwleclge with thanks the gift of the drinking fountain and that the Public Utilities Commission be asked to look after the fountain in the same manner as others previously undertaken." • From the National Sanitarium As- sociation, setting forth the need of funds for the replackg of the build- ings recently destroyed by fire and asking for a grant. On motion of Councillors Nediger and Paisley a grant of $25 was given. • Bylaw No. 8 for 1921 was then read three tines and passed. This was a bylaw to amend bylaw No, 7, passed at .a recent meeting to au- thorize the council to raise $2,000 for the installation of services in connec- tion with extension of the eater - works system. At the sire the rp- proval of the Provini:al 13tar,I of Health had not been obtained. Such approval has since been obtained and as it is necessary to have such ap- proval embodied in the bylaw it was accordingly amended. Chairman Paisley of the park com- mittee in a verbal report, which was seconded by Councillor Nediger, said it was the purpose to fix up the grand stand at Recreation Park, re - seat it and make it safe where it stood. The report was adopted. ,Chairman Miller of the street com- mittee submitted the following re- port: Having completed the putting on of the tarvia, excepting one half tank reserved for rough spots, we recommend that a man be employed to clean the streets once or twice a week. That having graded that por- tion of street north of the railroad and south of Mustard's coal office, we unload two or three cars of cinders which will be provided free of charge. That all grass be cut on streets. That there be a light placed at the north end of Queen street and also one between North and Erie street on Rattenbury street, also that we removed 116 loads of ashes, 73 of which were ,paid for and 43 to be paid, for. This report was considered clause by clause, clause number four, that relating to placing of street lights, being struck out. Councillor Cooper said in objecting to this that the trees at this particular part of the street interfered with the light but that if they 'were trimmed it would be as well lighted as any other part of the town as sparsely built upon. Later, on motion of Councillors John- son and Kenmp, the following motion was carried: That the street com- mittee be requested to see that shade trees are trimmed on streets where they interfere with t 1c lighting and that the Public Utilities be asked to replace old street lamps, have shades adjusted and cleaned and al- so have lamp at west end of Town- shend street adjusted. Councillor Cooper, in the absence of Chairman Langford,- read the fol- lowing repott of the cemetery com- mittee: Your Cemetery committee recom- mends that tine work of replacing the board fence a or the north end of the cemetery lot be completed as passed by the. 1920 council, and the neces- sary 30 rod of wire fencing; -be se- cured and efected. That the office and store -room be repainted and the small out-buidling be shingled. That a few load of gravel be secured• to fix up the main drive -way, also a load ar.,two of good top clressing for trimming pp the graves. Chairman Necliger of time property committee reported that the flower beds at the town hall square had been fixed up and flowers planted. On be- ing asked regarding seats he said they were not yet ready but that he would try and hurry ftp the work. Councillor Cooper asked that the Reeve take time council into itis eon- fidence with regard to the roads which are- being built at the en - roaches to the town. He said the council didn't know anything about them and as it was an important mat- ter he thought it ought to know and to see that the extensions were built as solidly and well as the, main streets. Reeve Miller said the construction was carried on under t e ;supervision of the County Engineer, neer ala al sn pervisor also having been appointed, Councillor. Cooper wished to know who appointed the supervisor and wka had been appointed and on learn- ing that Mr. Steep was the appointee seemed to be satisfied. Councillor Nediger said if they were building the roads in the cor- poration as they were building therm in the eonutry he had no hesitation irn saying that they would not be satisfactory Councillor Johnson, said yeti cnuld- ft't have the reatds'as well buil: as the mann streets Lee is w litt ettf a inr r v a p R tllettt Tito matte: of the. time Clock -came no again. Tints time it was not a matter of regnlnting it or winding or punchng it pralmerly but a matter of locating it, the contraption having been stolen from the chamber and on motion of .Reeve Miller and Colin,. e(llor Cooper the following motion was carried: That a reward of $5.00 be offered for information that will lead to. the recovery of the Night Contable's clock, which has been stolen, or for information that will lead to the conviction of the guilty party. On motion of Councillors Cooper and Kemp it was decided to advertise for two weeks for an assessor, applications to be received up to and includ- ing June 18th, at asalary of $150, and that a special meeting of the council be called to appoint such an officer.

STILL DOING BUSINESS, An old Clinton bey now resident at: McTaggart, Sask., sent a subscrip- tion to The News -Record tine other day. He has been absent from the old town for a number of years and says: "I've just been wondering if Clinton is still on the -nap and have decided to take your paper' and see. and if so, whether there are any people tonere now that I know." Clinton is still very much "on the map", as this subscriber will see when he gets the copy of last week's News -Record immediately mailed to him, but that 110 will firm many a new namee mentioned we have no doubt. We hope, however, that he will find the paper of sufieient inter est each week to repay. him for the price of his subscription, MORH LOCAL ON mon l:
