MUST°IIAVE NEW SCHOOL
The Model school board inet on
Thursday evening for its adjourned
meeting. The chief question under
discussion was the. building; of a new
school. A letter having been receiv-
ed from the inspector, Dr; Field,
warning them that if a move toward
providing better school accommoda-
tion was not gone on with without
much :further delay • the Department
would withhold all grants, the board
considered that some action was at
once necessary. A motion was there-
fore passed asking the town council
for $75,000 for the erection of a new
school building or for $40,000 for the
remodeling of the old one. This will
no /doubt be brought up at the next
meeting of the council but may be
left over for the new council to deal
with,
AT THE COUNTY COUNCIL
At the county council last week the
making of substantial grants to the
county hospitals was thoroughly gone
into and the necessity of such was
admitted but the matter was left over
for the 1920 council to deal with.
The notion regarding town streets
ender the Good Roads scheme, passed
ata previous session, was rescinded
and the towns are now on the same
basis as the townships and after the
.connecting roads are put in order any
street in town may be designated and
improved under the scheme.
Mr. Donald Patterson, who has been
county engineer for the past fifteen
years, resigned the position and his
son, T. Roy Patterson, was appointed.
At the Thursday evening meeting
Warden Newton Campbell was,pre-
sented by the members with•a gold -
headed cane and the evening was
turned into something of a social
gathering, speeches and songs being
given by different members. Reeve
Erwin of Bayfield 'proved to be very
popper as a singer.
DEATH OF H. R. CANTELON '
Many citizens were shocked when
it because known on Monday that
Harry Ray Cantelon, "Ray'? as he
was familiarly known in Clinton, son
of Mr, David Cantelon, had died on
Sunday at Fort Qu'Appelle, Sask.
Intimate friends of the family were
aware that he had not been -Nell for
several months and• his father had
gone out to see him a fortnight or
so ago, but not even his family were
prepared for the end so soon.
Ray was born in Clinton and spent
his boyhood here, leaving for the
west on graduating' from the Col-
legiate. He taught ih Saskatchewan
for a year or two then entered Sas-
katchewan University, Saskato,Sn, to
study for Ins degree. When the war
came he enlisted with the University
corps, and after training for short
time when a draft was called for
they volunteered in a body. He
served with the famous Princess Pats
in France. Ray was never of robust
health and the ' hardships of ' the
trenches told heavily upon him and
after Serving for several months and
spending some months in hospital he
was invalided home in the spring of
1917. After spending a few weeks
in a convalescent hospital in Quebec
and a fortnight at his home in town
he went again to the West, where the
climate seemed to suit hies best. The
past two winters he spent in Cali-
fornia, returning to Saskatchewan in
March last.'
Ray was full of ambition and al-
though. having to battle against i11
health he pluckily resumed his inter-
rupted University cout'se and kept
at his studies and last spring
won his degree, He had not
been well enough since to make
any • practical use of the ' oda=
cation which ho had gained osselet
such difficulties, however.
While in Frahee Ray hail applied
for a commission -but he was not able
to return to tine field after his illness.
Shortly after his return, home he
was ;'azetted a lieutenant in the Can-
adian Militia,
He is survived by his parents, one
brother, W. J. Cantelon of Piapot,
Sask„ and two sisters, Miss Dorothy
at home and Mrs, A, Weatherwax of
Orillia, A younger brother, rte, D.
A, Cantelon, M.M., was killed in

Chief FitzSinlons has received a
communication from the acting Chief

warning liin that there is supposed

will be unnecessary.
NIPPED 1' THE BUD.
The strike bug struck the Model
school last week and the pupils
of one of the junior rooms decided
that they had submitted to the
harsh. rule of teachers too long
and the time was ripe for a bold
bid for freedom -from the drudgery
of homework. Accordingly one
Of the "boldest" drew tip a docu-
ment in the shape of a demand_thet
no more homework was to be assign-
ed, got a great number of signatures
and delivered it to the teacher. School
teachers have been known in all ages,
ever since schools were invented, as
callous, flinty -hearted individuhls, and
the result of this move on the part of
the pupils .for study -free evenings
when they could go to the movies or
enjoy themselves in some other equal-
ly edifying manner, was that those'
who signed the no -homework petition
were given a double portion of home-
work 3or a week while'those who did
not sign were free from Homework for
a week. Thus was the strike quelled
and the "freedom" sprout "nipped i'
the bud".
PRESBYTERY MEETING
The Presbytery of Huz•on met in
Clinton on Tuesday. Two sessions
were held, morning and afternoon,
and were presided over by Modera-
tor J. E. Hogg.
Besides the routine business of the
session the call from the clhurches
ofLucan anti Fraser, in the Stratford
Presbytery, to the Rev. D. Johnston
of Varna, was considered and was
sustained by Presbytery., The Rev.
M. Bell of Avonton prosecuted the
call, which was signed by.every avail-
able member of the two churches
concerned. About a dozen members
of the Varna and' Blake churches
were nr e
i es nt to plead for the re-
tention of their pastor, of whom they
spoke ie the highest terns. As Mr.
Johnston was inclined to accept the
call it was accordingly sustained by
Presbytery and the pastorate at Var-
na will be completed with the year
and the induction into the Lucan pas-
torate will take place early in the
new year. The Rev. W. D. McIntosh
of Brumfield was appointed interim -
moderator.
FUNERAL OF D MACDONALD.
On Saturday last, was laid to rest
one of Clinton's good old 0100, Donald
MacDonald, who passed away on
Wednesday, December Srci. The de-
ceased was born in the Isle of Uist,
off the west coast of Scotland, and
lived there until he was fifteen years
of age. Coming to Canada with his
parents he settled near Kincardine
and in 1866 married Jeanette Mac-
Kenzie with whom he celebrated los
golden wedding four years ago. They
were pioneer farmers in Bruce county
but came to Clinton almost fifty
years ago, Mr. Macdonald was est-
ployed by the late M. McTaggart for
-over thirty years..
Mr. MacDonald's health began to
fail about ten years ago agog his
condition has been critical several
times during the past two years. The
end came gradually and peacefully, He
passed away with fhb name of his
Master on his lips—the Master whom
he had served so long 'and so faith-
fully, and in whom he had such mt-
faltering faith.
The funeral service was condticted
by Rev. Mr. Hogg, and attended by
the Chosen friends of which the de-
ceased was a charter member. The
floral tributes were many and boauti-
fui, testifying the esteem in Which
Mr. Mas:Donald was held by those
