rap YOU MISS THE CHRISTmas tree? Well, we certainly did
. . , Somehow we'd gotten used
to that pillar of greenery on the
post -office parklet corner... We'd
gotten so used to it in fact . . .
that it was well into the first
week in February that we actually
realized that it was the Christmas
tree standing there . . . and not a
permanent bit of reforestation
Then yesterday morning • . we
rnissed it . . . Perhaps it inightn't
be such a bad idea to plant a tree
right there on the corner, and save
the bother of erecting one every
December .
AND ANOTHER POINT OF INT-

Public School Attendance Registers
Lost From Old School Building
Loss of many of the old regist-
ers and other records of public
school attendance, etc., was re-
ported at the regular meeting of
the Clinton Public School Board
last Thursday evening. Secretary -
treasurer of the Board, H. C. Law-
son, conutented on the seriousness
of the loss, when he reported be-
ing unable to trace the attendance
record of a one-time resident of
Clinton now livingdn the Canadian
West, who wished confirmation of
age.
A half-dozen other similar re-
quests in the hands of Principal
George H. J'efferson have not yet
been dealt with fornike reason.
Apparently the old registers and
some other records were left in
the old school building, and in
Septeinber IVtr. Jefferson had sort-
ed them, putting those that should
be kept, in one place. Roy Ma-
caulay said he understood that L.
D. Holland, clerk of the Town of
Clinton had reqUeSted one of the
town's employees to take the
books and papers to 'the -new
scbool. ilowever, they havnot
yet arrived there. Macaulay stat-
ed that "the impression now is
that they have gone to the dump."
Joseph lVfurphy asked if the
l3oard would be in order to write
to the Town Council concerning
the loss, and was assured by H.
C. Lawson that "You can't pass
the buck off on the Council. This
Is the responsibility of the Board."

Bayfield Church
Buys New Organ
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
During the past four weeks the
congregation of St. Andrew's
United Church, Bayfield, has
heard music from two organs in-
stalled on trial. The Minshall
electric ttibe • organ which is
handled by the Heintzman Co., and
the Hallman electrified reed or-
gan, which is manufactured in
•Waterloo. On' Tuesday evening a
vote by ballot was taken during
which time the organist, Mrs. B.
Kingsbury played selections first
on one organ and then on the
other.
Presiding over the vote were
the pastor, Rev. P, Renner and
niembers of the organ committee,
Mrs, G. Westlake, Mrs. R. Grain-
ger, Mrs. Bert Greer, Mrs. Len,
Talbot, Raymond Scotchmer, Rus-
sell Grainger, Bert Dunn Jr., and
Grant Turner. The result of the
vete was 41 to '50, in favour of
the. Hallman organ. It will be
dedicated at a later date.
Federation Drops
AnnualField Day
A mobile display that will con-
tain educational materials from all
farm organizations associated with
the Huron County Federation of
Agriculture was decided upon at
the directors and executive meet-
ing held in the Agricultural Board
Rooms on Tuesday evening.
President Wilfred Shortreed
presided at the meeting.
The directors decided to dis-
pense with the 1954 field day due
to the lack of interest shown in
this event over the past three
years.
A plan was drawn up for the
purchasing of a fihn projector by
the Federation of Agriculture. The
plan propoSes that each township
federation contribute $25.00 and
the county federation to pay
the balance of the cost. The pro-
jector would be maintained by the
county federation for the use of
farm organizations within the
county. .
The meeting went on record as
supporting McKillop Township
Federation of Agrieulutre's reso-
ultion asking that the months of
May and September be removed
from Daylight Saving Time by
Huron -County municipalities.
The executive approved the san-
ding of $2,000 th the Ontario Fed-
eration of Agriculture as a part
payment of Huron County's affil-
iation with the provincial organiz-
ation.
Chamber Plans
Dinner Meeting
Directors of Clinton and District
Chamber of Commerce decided at
a meeting held yesterday after-
noon that the association would
have a dinner meeting on Mon-
day, April 19. Plans were also
made to have a guest speaker.
A nominating committee con-
sisting of M. McAdam, Leslie Ball
and Harold Hartley was appointed
to bring. in a slate of offieers for
the coming year at the meeting on
April 19.
President Mitchael. McAdam
presided over the well attended
meeting.
Warble Fly School
Monday Afternoon
Classes of instruction for warble
fly inspectors and warble spray
operators in the County of Huron
will be held next Monday after-
noon in the agricultural office
board room, Clinton. An invita-
tion also is extended to all those
other municipal officials who are
interested in the program to at-
tend the meeting.
Dr. Harold Worton, provincial
veterinarian, will be in Huron on
Tuesday and Wednesday, April 6
and 7, and committee meetings
will be held in the townships of
Ashfield, West Wawanosh, Col-
borne, Goderich and Stanley,

ing was made District Commis-
sioner for Huron District of the
Boy Scouts Association, Mr.

Scout and Cub work, having
been on the Clinton Lions Boys'
and Giels' committee for some
years. (See story on page 11).
• ability of cutting the budget in the
face of rising costs, the councillors
of the town of Clinton on Monday
night agreed to a mill rate of 74,
which will be the same as that
maintained in 1953. Mayer M. 3.
Agnew stated that he believed it
good financing to set the rate at
'74, which would allow for a small
surplus, rather than budgeting
closely and then going over it.
Decision also was made to offer'
the old public school and grounds -
for sale by tender, and an adver-
tisement to this effect appears in -
this paper. The deputy reeve, M.
Crich, stated that he had had an
offer for $12,000 for the building -
alone by a man who wished to use
It for residential purpoSe. COML.-
cillor Dr. H. A. McIntyre advised
thought M the matter of disposing
of the old building, since the need
for more rooms to acconunodate
the enrolment at the public school
was imminent, and in three or four
years, It might be necessary to usa
three or four more rooms.
Council also decided to request
the Public Utilities Commission
for $3,000 of the waterworks sur-
plus this year.
Large 'Entry At Seed Show;
Seaforth Men Big Winners
legiate Institute's display was to
show a model farm and the meth-
od of crop rotation• to conserve.
The Wingham school centred their
display with an electric motor and
with posters which brought out
the ways In which electricity saved
tkne and money on the farm, The

model open beef barn with mater-
ials showing the purpose of this
method.
Other displays at the Fair in-
cluded one from the Ontario De-
partment of Lands and Forests;
one of hybrid corn and one of
beans.
Though attendance was down
because of postponement one
week was a great success. Organ -
County Seed Fair held in Clinton
District Collegiate Institute last
week wits a great success. Organ-
ized and presented by the Huron
County Soil and Crop Improve-
ment Association, this event has
grown in popularity each year.

ries at the Seed Fair.
The high schools exhibits were
of their usually fine calibre, That
of the South Huron District High
School was perhaps the most uni-
que, in that a small electric motor
had been utilized to add movement
to the display. Samples of the
varieties. of corn grown on the
high school's test plot were dis-
played with figures to show yields
and the moving wheel in the mid-
dle of the display showed further
tabulations.
Each of the displays from the
schools was designed to show some
method of saving throagh good
management. Clinton District Col -
