Thirty cadets lett Monday morn- ing orsing for London, where they are this week undergoing drill. They were in 'charge of Capt. Fred Wallis and Lieutenants Fred Elliott and Ernest Livermore, Frank Scruton being signalling officer. Since Mr, Foulds' departure at Christmas the cadets have had no instructor, but they have kept up their practice, ` under their, efficient captain, and no doubt will aoqui+t themselves creditably in eamp. - DON'T WASTE WATER. The -Public' Utilities Commission has been obliged to ask water users to curtail, to sone, extent, the. amount of water used these hot clays, The Pinups are working at full capacity but cannot ,keep the standpipe more than half full. When it is taken into account that the town is using 40,000 gallons per day more than was used a couple of months ago, it will ..be readily seen that the situation begins. to look serious. Should a fire occur when the standpipe is so low the re- sult might be disastrous. HEAT TOO MUCH FOR "TOM" NIr. T, H. Cook, while helping to haul in hay at Mr. William. Steep's on Tuesday, happened with an acci- dent which will keep him holidaying for a few clays. Mr. Cook was on the load and something went wrong with !the ropes and at the same time Mr. Cook took a dizzy turn, owing no doubt to the excessive heat, and fell off the.load._ He had his nose broken and was also shaken up and bruised somewhat, and is nursing his injuries for a spell. Happily, altho- ugh painful, his injuries are not ser- DON'T- FORGET TIIE BIRDS. Last week The News -Record sug- gested that some provision be made so that horses 'could be watered eas-- iiy. within the town limits and on Monday evening the council instruct- ed the street committee to take the matter .up. Now, at the suggestion of a young lady of humane heart, we are going tourge the people to set out watering troughs for the birds. As there is loss lawn watering than usual, on account of lack of water, and the weather is so hot And dry, the birds must suffer for water. Any sort of an olcl shallow dish will do, only keep fresh water in it and if a few hundred such dishes are set out all over town the birds will, fig- uratively speaking, "arise and call you blessed."

While this Accommodation train was on students could conte from the west each morning, return- ing In the evening, .. but conning by the ,early train makes too.long a day. Many of the C.S.C. students tonne fron Goderich and before' this train was pat on a branch of the school was operated in that town. COUNCIL TAKING ACTION. The council made a wise move on Monday night' when they took the first step toward providing another well. The citizens in a town like Clinton would have reason to censure a council which did not' see that provision was made for their protection in case of fire, and its such hot weather . as we have been having, end as' we always have in the summer, the citizens should have no 'scarcity of water for all their needs,.. Nothing is so necessary for the health and comfort of civilized people:as„plenty of water and, we should be able to use it lavishly, shot weather especially, inside and outside our homes. It is honed the sinking of the new well will begone on with without delay. - IGIVE DOBBIN A DRINK, Y; The matter of a drinking place for PS horses came 'up for diseuesion at Ys Monday evening's icounoll nteeting, Mayor McMprray introclueing tlie, subject, and the street committee was instructed to deal with 'the natter taking whatever action they seemed fitting. It is now the need is greatest and it is to be hoped the tconinittee will beable to work out a plan to supply drink for the horses as soon as pos- sible. A bucket chained to a tap, if there was a tap to chain it to, woukl work all right, until better accominodation could he provided, "HONORABLY DISGII .RGED." As the work of 'the won.en's Pa- triotic Society is completed the treas- urer has handed over to the war veterahs 3292.29 to be applied as the contribution of the women to the memorial tablet. -The Womens' Patriotic Society, composed of ladies of the town and surrounding jvicinity, did excellent work throughout the years of the war and they are to be congratulated upon carrying through so important a work as they did and coming out with so nice a little balance, which will be appreciated by the G,W.V.A, They are now "honorably discharged" from service.

A conintunication was read from County Engineer Patterson, inform- ing the council that Bylaw 18, 1920, had been approved by the Minister of highways. This bylaw had to do with the taking over by the county of the road known as the Bayfield Roads from the railway in Clinton to the village of Bayfield. County Clerk Holman wrote giv- ing the amount of the county rate for 1921 as $8,969.52; General rate 32,600.72; Good Roads $1,368,80, Dr. Shaw, M,O.H., wrote regard- ing a tent which had been purchased some years ago for the Board of Health and asking about its where- abouts; Applications were read from H. Glazier, E. F. F. Copp and A. Me- Garvafor the position of assessor. On motion of Reeve Miller and Councillor Johnson the matter of the appointment of an assessor was con- sidered by the council in committee and H. Glazier was given the ap- pointment at salary of $150, a by- law being passed to that effect. The property committee was in- structed to look after the B.0•II, tent andsee that it is found, Reeve Miller of the street • cons mittee reported that the grass and weecls had been cut on several streets and would be on others; that the road at the north of the town' was about completed and work had been started on Isaac street. Councillor Johnson of the Fire and Water Committee said - he had no special report but• wished to say that he did not think the fire yells should he rung for any other reason than a fide. He said the firemen were per. fectly willing to dp their share to- wards hunting lost children or in any way necessary but he thought the town bell rung at eight o'clock, or any unusual hour would answer just as well as the fire bell and it would, he thought, be wiser to ring the fire bell only in case of fire, Mayor McMurray said he was the one to blame for the ringing of ' the fire bell a few nights ago but he agreed that it would be just as well to act upon the suggestion of Coun- cillor Johnson. Some discussion was caused by the financial report, Councillor Coo- per having allowed a couple of me- chanics, who worked on the grand stand at the park, fifty cents per day more than Councillor Paisley, chairman of the park committee,had agreecl or intended paying their. Af- ter some discussion the report was adopted, substituting $2.50 per day for the $3,00 allowed in the report. Councillor Cooper brought in a notion that a few barrels of tarvia or oil be purchased for the new road at the north end but Reeve Miller thought the road would be injured instead of helped by the application of oil and he wasn't in favor of tar - via, either. Councillor Paisley said there was no money to buy tarvia and the motion was lost. Councillor Cooper and Reeve Mill- er brought in the following motion, which was carried: That the Public Utilities Commission be asked to se- cure quotations and specifications for sinking • a n additional web for the waterworks .system and that the Commission report to council before any action ie taken, During the discussion which fol - Utilities was asked to explain the situation at present, He said that the town was using. 100,000 gallons of water daily, which is 40,001) gal- lons more than that -used iii; normal tithes, spring, fail or winter, that the two pumps were working twenty- four wentyfour hours per clay and doing all the woric they can and yet the standpipe and resevoir cannot be filled beyond a certain height, Ile said there ought to be another well as, if any- thing happened either of the pumps, the town would be without water. Councillor Johnson said he under- stood a well would cost only about $5,000 and that one fire might easi- ly cost more than a well and the town would be that hunch poorer. The Public Utilities Commission has been recommending the sinking of another well for years but until, now the council has taken no action, In all probability the matter will be carried on as speedily as possible. Mayor McMurray suggested that some provision be made for the wa- tering of horses, and on motion of Councillors Johnson and Paisley, the matter was handed over to the street committee with power to act as they see fit.

That it has been hot during the past week or so nobody will deny anti, indeed, most of us have been willing to believe that all records have been broken. In Toronto the heat has been hov- ering around 98 all this week but in 191 which wlt ch se nt have e to . v been lit- s c orally a "scorcher," the first five days of July the temperature never dropped below 90 and it rim es high as 108, In London it was .101.5 and once 'since that it went tip to` 106.5. From records kept by a reader we also learnt that in Jute and July, 1911, in Washington, D. C., the hot, test weather in forty years was ex- perienced, So that summer semis to have •been an exceptionally hot Mto� Being curious as to how the mer - Bury bas boon behaving in Clinton, and knowing that Mr. John Rans- ford usually keeps records of such things we called him up Tuesday af- ternoon and we take it as an indica- tion of his courteous and obliging disposition that, with the tempora.; tura at 100, he made out for us the following little record of the tan' peraturo for the last day of Tune and the first five days of July every Year running back to 1905. It is rather interesting and ought to con- vince people that we usually have pretty hot weather along about this time of the year. • It will be noted that while Tues- day was one of the hottest days this year, the corresponding clay of 1920 was decidedly cool, ahuost a frost, indeed.
