Herald, this week drew -attention
to a heading in that paper over a
story of the Clinton Lions Club
last week's meeting . .. "Clinton
Lions Told of the Congo"... One
wonders naturally, whether the
Congo lions are ever told of Clin-
ton . . . One of the fables that
Aesop neglected to write was
about the group of well-fed Congo

after taking their fill of raw ante-
lope or gazelle and listened to a
visiting lion describe the odd hab-
its of the humans in faraway On-

Agr. Rep. Favours Bandstand; Raps
Boards For Refusing $1,000 Grant
"In my opinion the Clinton
Spring Show this year vvill be the
biggest and best show ever," G. W.
Montgomery, agricultural repre-
sentative for Huron County, stat-
ed yesterday. He is vitally inter-
ested in the well-being of the
Show and its definite value in
rousing interest and competition in
producing better stock throughout
the County and the province.
However, Mr. Montgomery went
on to say, "I have never before
been in a town where dissent*
between the Parks Board and the
Agricultural Society could be so
high that they would refuse to ac-
cept a grant of $1,000 rather than
work together to provide some-
thing of some worth to their town.
It is just too bad," he went on,
"if Clinton must lose something
permanent and of benefit to future
programs at the Park, just becaUSe
of 'disagreement between two
groups."
The agricultural representative
favours a permanent stand of some
sort in front of the grandstand for
the use of bands, speakers, or pro-
grams, though he says he thinks
the Agricultural Society would be
perfectly in favour of placing the
stand to one side of the centre, in
the event that the ball diamond
should be moved as has been sug-
gested. "The way it is," said Mr.
Montgomery, "the Agricultural So-
ciety must now go ahead and put
in a temporary platform for the
Use of the RCAF Command Band
from Trenton, when they could
have had a good permanent struc-
ture that would do a much better
job."

sad that the highlight of the dis-
play was the music of the excel-
lent trumpet band. "Although,"
said Major Roney, "they tell me
you have not had much practice,
surely with such excellent music,
I would say you must have prac-
ticed considerably."
Others on the reviewing stand
were Lieutenant J. P. Drohan,
Cadet Training Officer, London;
G/C H. C. Ashdown, Commanding
Officer for RCAF Station Clinton;
George Falconer, chairman of
