Considera- tion of maldng Kirk Street a through street on advice of the police department will be carried out by the Public Works Com- mittee, Concerning the clothing tines - tion Councillor Livermore raised the question of why the policemen should be provided their clothing. Councillor Shadclick compared the situation with that of the Fire De- partment, whose members paid half the cost of their special cloth- ing. Councillor Glidclon stated that iC was a matter or agremnent at the time the men were hired.

Kennedy, Roy 'Warm, Frank Haines. ' Concerning one building permit brought before council for authori- zation, Councillor H. A. McIntyre, chairman of the town planning board, questioned the wisdom of allowing a $3,000 valued hofne be- ing permitted on Maple Street, in What was termed an area of bet- ter residences. As Mayor M. J. Agnew advised, council has no real grounds for refusing the permit without a by-law drafting the re- strictions on building. However, since some of the council saw this as a chance to get use., of the work the planning board has been doing, the problem will be investi- gated more fully by the general government committee, before granting is official. Reeve Nediger spoxe to this matter, stating his belief that the planning board should be consulted regarding the matter. "Perhaps there is no specific reason to stop the building of this house, but we don't have to issue a permit for it right now." Rev. D. 3. Lane speaking for the Clinton Citizens' Horticultural Society offered the assistance of that group in placing a new curb- ing altaig the drive beside the town hall, en the Park side. Reeve „lediger reported upon the work the new tractor had already accomplished with regard to clean- ing up the area at the rear of the Town Hall, and in loading gravel at the pit. He mentioned that he as not too pleased with the co-operation he had been get- ting with the town engineer in planning for better drainage. Speaking for the special com- mittee, Councillor Livermore re- ported that at present the Cham- ber a Commerce was not planning to put up any coloured lights On the main streets of the town, and that he personally had contacted several citizens of Clinton who Were not in favour of spending money on coloured lights. "They said we should make improvements down belt:* rather than up above," said Coma Livermore. On the matter of obtaining rent- al housing for Clinton, Court Liv- ermore related the fact that there had not been sufficient requests *for housing to warrant a request for it. Hours when the town clerk's of - ace will be open from now on will be as follows: weekdays, 9 to 12 a.m. and 1.30 to 5.30 p.m. ‘00 ,Saturday, 9 a.m. until 12,30 p.m. Motion was passed to authorize payment of expenses of the delega- tion to Toronto to interview R. 11, Saunders. Permission, was given the Lions Club to close off part of Mary Street during the Trade Fair at the end of this week, and also for them to use the piano from up- stairs in the Town Hall, CONGRATULATIONS: Miss Elizabeth Falconer, mmil at Clinton Public School and dau- ghter of Mr, and Mrs. George Falconer, laced third in the Le- gion Oratorical Contest for Dist - Act C „in Harrison Tuesday night. New Smoke Mask Proves Its Worth, In Unusual Test Fireman Hector Kingswell gave the recently purchased "Scott Air - peek" its initial test last Sunday at Stanley's Abattoir after a line from one of the refrigeration units broke and filled the premises with deadly chlorine gas fumes. The fumes were so strong that it was impossible for a person to enter the building. "Hec"'with the Air - pack was able to stay inside for half an hour, remove all of the meat from the broken unit and place it in another freezer, thus avoiding a serious loss to the own- er. .Hector was also able to locate the broken line and stop the esc- ape of the gas. It is very comforting to know that the Clinton Fire Brigade has such valuable equipment. Though the Scott Airpack, which was purchased partly from the brigade's funds and partly by the town council, was primarily need- ed to fight heavy smoke fires, it is capable of handling rnany other equally dangerous .jobs, €1.111tOn KIIISITtell Are Sponsoring Local Talent Show There is never a moment when there is not something going pn in the musical review "'You Can't Heat Fun" the local talent show that, the Kinsmen Club of Clintori are sponsoring.

Fingland, Q.t., for interpretation of the HEPC Act.' Doubt has arisen over whether the Council has the authority to disband the PUC as requested by the petitioners. The delegation to Chairman R. Saunders last week brought word that permission to Graduates at UW LEWIS TEBBUTT, B.A., graduated last weeit from the University of Western Ontario, with second class honours. He plans to attend Ontario College of Education in Toronto this fall in preparation for the teaching profession.

Hullett quests Help To Repair Concession 2 Road Councillors of Hullett Township plan to request the District Engin- eer for assistance from the prov- ince to repair Concession 2 of that township, and apply calcium chlor- ide to the road at once, Since the condition of Highway 8 now under construction is such that cars are finding it impassable, many people are using Concession 2 as a detour, causing unusual wear. A gran( of $1,200 to the Hullett Township Community Hall Board was authorized by the members of the Council meeting. on Monday evening, in the Comrounity Hall, Londesboro. The next meeting of the council will be held on Monday, Jul; 5, dissolve the PUC would not be forthcoming from them. Mean. while one official states that the Council has authority to disband the PUC while others state that they have not. Commissioner W. E. Perdue Stated that he did not think the delegation that went to see Mr. Saunders were the proper men, since they were all prejudiced. Mayor M, J. Agnew Teported that the Hydro Chairman had stated that the financial affairs of the Clinton PUC were in good shape. The mayor also reminded councii that in the matter of the 438 petitioners who signed the petition, they should consider the hundreds of other citizens of ton that had not signed it. Councillor Shaddick expressed the opinion that since six months had passed in the yea, that Coun- cil would be foolish to call for election to see if the people want- ed to dissolve the corrunission, and another to appoint a new Corn - mission. Councillor Bert Glidden supported this suggestion. One objection to waiting until the reg..' War election time in December would be that only three of the Commissioners came up for elee- tion this year, , 'Reeve Nediger 'expressed his opinion that the Council had been slow. He stated that he felt the Connell was at fault in not handl,. ing the matter more 4uieldy: Mayor M. I. Agnew; Speed has not been the big thing, here. Last year we did things fast, and what did we get for it? Whichever we do, we're wrong. Councillor McIntyre stated that he would like to see all members of the Commission run this fall, to give the people a fairer chance of picking a commission. "This situation has come about through one or two motions, and that sug- gests that there may be something else wrong here, too. They've hir- ed a man as some of us think needlessly, yet we hear rumours of a raise in rates. Of course if you spend money you have to raise it." Councillor Glidden: I don't wholly agree. With a .totally new commission we might be in worse condition than we are now, We need a few of the old heads in there. Commissioner George Rumball: If I resign, I understand you must appoint a man to sit out my term. I certainly won't resign this fall: Ian surprised to find that any of the councillors will listen to rum- ours,.

Fire Destroys Lightfoot Farni Barn; Second Call Within Two Weeks Fire of undetermined origin totally destroyed the barn on the farm of Alan Lightfoot on the second concession of Stanley Township on Wednesday morning. The blaze which broke out be- tween nine and ten o'clock Was first noticed by Mr. Lightfoot's daughter when she looked out of the window of the house. Clinton firemen were summon- ed but in a matter of a few min- utes the entire structure was blaz- ing and when the firemen arrived they could only concentrate on saving 'other nearby buildings. Mr. Lightfoot, who had returned from Clinton only a few minutes before the blaze was noticed had no idea what might have caused the fire. It was the second time within two weeks that Clinton firemen had been called to the Lightfoot farm. On the previous call the garage had started to burn but the building was saved with very little damage. ° , The barn was partially covered by insurance. , Health Unit Starts Preparing For Move To Goderieh Moving day for the Huron County Health Unit is not too far off, and already the staff is doing some packing in Preparation for the change of quarter's from Clinton to Goderich.
