REEVE J. W. /mamma DEP1.1Tse 'REEVE M. °RICH PUC Awaits Town Council's • Action on Citizens Petition A. record audience of 16 citizens of Clinton attended the regular meeting of the Clinton Public Util- ities Commission held in the PUC building Monday evening.. No ac- tion was taken on the matter mentioned ia the citizens' petition to Council, which presently is In the hands of the Town Clerk for investigation. Mayor M. J. Agnew, ex -officio member of the commission, read a copy of the petition heading and stated, "In the first place, we (the council) can hardly ignore the petition. I am reasonably sure that the information in it will be passed on th you. According to the act, rescinding of the by-law setting up the commission mast be approved by the HEPC. When we receive their approval, then we must go to the people. They set up the PUC, and they can tear it down." . Chairman II, R. Hawkins stated that had the petition been addres- sed to the commission then they would have discussed the matter at the meetingahowever, as it was, they would have to wait until the council passed it on to them, Both Commissioners A. • J. McMurray and Georgd-Rtirilball crmeurrecl in this. Mayor Agnew said he felt it was a- momentous occasion, and his wish was not to snake a snap decis- ion. He asked, "If the by-law set- ting up the commission is rescind- ed, who will carry on the admin- istration of the work?" Commissioner W. E. Perdue sug- gested that any change in the ac- tion taken by the MC COtildspes- sibly head of all other action. Rumball stated that there were two sides to every question and he believed that the motion made by the 1953 Commission setting up a word of small complaints and pension fund for the retiring superintendent had .been illegal. Mr. Perdue assured him that the action had followed discussion with HEPC officials concerning the matter, and also that the action taken then had been in accord with the HEPC men, Rumball replied that he had written direct to the HEPC concerning the matter but had not yet received an answer, Commissioner Perdue assured the other members of the Com- mission that he had nothing to gain by bringing back incorrect in- formation from MPG headquart- ers, and went on to correct a statement .over the CKNX radio station that Chairman HaWkins had reported Perdue as haviag threatened many times to resign from the Commission. Perdue ad- mitted to one occasion when he was provoked into such a state- ment. Rumball stated that although he liked industry "awfully well" he believed the commission's action January 6 in granting C. II. Epps $100 towards putting hydro service inside the premises was against the regulations of the TrEPc and that without the authority of the IIEPC they shbuld not carry-ont the motion made to that effect. (Ageount of the January 6 meet- ing of the PUC was carried in the News -Record the following day.) Commission all agreed that the I-IEPC would not grant permission for this action to be taken, and the matter wap laid over until something definite could be ac- complished. The superintendent was asked to halt work on the service, Superintendent J. Rands called for the co-operation of the PUC members with regard to getting Turner's Church Congregation Reports Good Year The annual congregational meet- ing of Turner's United Church was held in the church on January 21.

Alden Crich, chairman of the prop - Igripes —from the customers — to the PUC office as early as possible. As the meeting was about to close Mayor Agnew drew attention to the 'fact that there should be some provision made in the agenda of the PUC for delegations to the Commission, The members decid- ed to draw up an agenda to in - dude this. Tsvo deputations were then heard. Harry Watkins presented his water bill for inspection, stat- ing that he was being charged for sewage based on double his water bin, and as well double his meter rental, This made the bill V more each month than he felt should be paid. Other commercial services apparently were being charged the same way. Chairman Hawkins ask- ed that the receipted bill be left at the bffice for the superintend - Airman's Wife Misses A. M. and E. J. Stirling proved to be Good Samaritans when an' airman's wife'Mrs. Will- iam Hebert, living in the Hunter house awakened them at 2 a.m. on Monday, January 18, and asked for help as the stork was on its Way. Miss A. M.

The family came to the village early in December. LAC Hebert is taking his family to relatives in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, until he finds quarters in Montreal.

Then, in a quick rundown of the qualities of a good soldier, be said these included a strong sense of duty; a loyalty to the regiment and to the arms; a keen sense of honour and xesponsibility as a sol- dier and as a citizen. Above all, he said, "a good soldier should be a gentleman." erty Committee, reported various ent to investigate.

Since the motion to hire E.

Both of them had to do with our classified department. The first one carne from a man with a typewriter for sale. "It was sold," he said, "five min- utes after your paper came on the street. And I've been both- ered ever since with phone calls. Your power to reach the buying miblic is too good." Well, of course that is the sort of complaint we wish we would receive more often. The other complaint came from a gentleman who wanted to sell a building. It was sold before our paper could be printed, and he wanted his refund, which we gladly gave him. No particular credit to the ainton News- Reeord, of course, that his build- ing was sold. But we do co-op- erate to the best of our ability with our customers. Quite .a range wasn't there? And anything, from typewriters to buildings, may be sold through a small ad in the classified sec- tion of oer paper. Phone 4, to- day. Clinton Mill Lets Employees Go; Slack Market Due, apparently, to seasonal slackness in the hosiery market, the management of the Clinton Hosiery Mill has been forced to let out a number of employees. According to superintendent And- rew Steep, there are about 22 em- ployees at work, some of thern on part time, though several married men with families as well as single girls have been let off. This leaves the Clinton mill operating with about half ' its usual staff. The New Hamburg mill, under the same management, has let out a- bout two-thirds of their employees. Mr. Steep said they were operat- ing with a- skeleton staff, keeping all departments in operation so that when the market improved they eould swing back into reg- ular production swiftly. Two CDCI Students Get Oratorical Awards Monday Miss Doreen McKenzie, Grade 12, and Kenneth Ashton, Grade 13, of Clinton District Collegiate In- stitute, on Monday were judged best speakers in an oratorical con- test staged in the auditorium of the collegiate before a student audience. The competition was made up of a prepared five-minute talk, followed by a two -minute im- promptu. As part of an oratorical contest sponsored by. the Lions Clubs of Ontario and Quebec, the contest on IVfonclay was the preliminary one which may lead the young speak- ers to several other regional and district competitions, perhaps even to the final one to be held -in Bar- rie sometime in May. The local Lions Club is sponsoring the two CDCI students in their attempt. From a small competing group Popular Local Couple Feted By Many on Anniversary Last Sunday, January 24, Mr. and Mrs, J. E.

Mr. Cook, served overseas for ing them with flowers, escorted three years in the First World the couple to the Clinton Lions War with the 161st Huron Regi- ment, as a cook, having studied at the School of Cookera in London, England.
