Clinton Court
A eharge of attempting to de-
fraud, in the matter of trading a
car with 'a prior lien with Mc-
Pherson Bros., against Stanley
Scott, Listowel, was dismissed, as
was a second charge of passing a
worthless cheque. However, on a
third charge of passing a 'worth-
less cheque to W. H. Dalrymple
and Son, Brucefield, for $4.65,
Magistrate D. E. Holmes convict-
ed and sentenced Scott to 30 days
in jail, • "
Charged with careless driving
as a • result of a colision at the
corner of Kirk and •Townsend
Streets, the case against Norman
Manning was dismissed. The sit-
uation of a man unfamiliar with
the certain corner, and a poorly
visible corner, combined with a
reluctance on the part of the
Crown and of the other person in-
volved in the accident, Rev. H. C.
Wilson, caused the Magistrate to
dismiss the case. He stated that
it was not a precedent, and he
found the decision against his bet-
ter judgement.

man E. J. P, Favron, Crown At-
torney Glen Hays stated that Fay-
ron had been drunk. •"I'm getting

sesame" to anything," Favron

of having stolen a record player
from Harry Reid, from one of the
town taxi stands, saying that he
could use it in a new record club
they had formed at the Station,

RESUME OF PUC ACTIVITIES RE
PETITION AND ITS RESULTS
Need for clarification ,of the
situation now existing in re-
gards to the petition framed
earlier this year by citizens of
Clinton, is apparent.
The petition, signed by 438
citizens was worded thus:
"We, the undersigned, believe
that the action of the 1954 PUC
Commission in appointing Mr.
A. E. Rumball as assistant
superintendent at n salary of
$3,500 per year is not in the
best interests of the ratepayers.
We therefore ask the Town
Council to request the PUC to
rescind the motion making this
appointment, and to reinstate
the motion passed by the 1953
PUC Commission. Failing such
action on the part of the 1954
PUC Cormni,ssion we ask that
the by-law establishing a PUC
Commission be repealed by
Council." .
The 1953 motion mentioned in
this petition was One passed in
late December (after the 1954
Commission had been duly
elected, and three of the voting.
members had been replaced) by
which Mr. Rumball had been
retired with what amounted to
an aslured pension of $50 per
month. The 1954 motion men-
tioned in the petition was one
In which the earlier motion was
replaced by one which hired
Mr. Rumba as assistant super-
intendent at a salary of $3,500.
The petition was presented to
Council on February 4, and the
councillors referred it to the
PUC for their consideration. On
February 23 the Commission did
this, and compromised by not
Races and Contests
For Auburn
.
Centemnal Day
A varied sports program has
been organized for the 'Auburn
Centenary .planned for the last
Friday in July, and will include
two ball games. There will be a
girls' softball game in the after-
noon, and a juvenile hard ball
game at 5.30 between Auburn and
Tavistock.
Two contests are already plan-
ned. There will be a ladies' nail
drjving contest, wherein three
nails (3") Will be driven into a
plank, and prizes are $2, $1 and
50 cents. A tug-of-war between
East emit West Wawanosh pitted
against Colborne and Hullett, with
six" men to a team, to be picked
'by the Reeves 'of the Townships,
will be rewarded with prizes of
$15 and $10.
Races will have six different
groups foriboys and girls 12 years
and under, two for 16 and under,
two for 18 and under; boys 100 -
yard dash (open); girls (75 -yard
dash, open); married women's
race, 50 yards; fat men's race,
200 lps, and over; men's ex -
students, 100 yards; ladies' ex -
students, 75 yards; men teachers,
past and present, 75 yards; lady
teachers,past and present, 50
yards; village and schpol trustees,
75 yards.
Cash prizes awarded to the win-
ners in these events, ranging frorn
$5 to 15 cents, makes the day
one which can be remembered fin-
ancially as well as a purely happy
get-together.
The chairman of the sports com-
mittee, William J. Craig, reports a
growing interest in the big day,
acceding to the request but by
lowering the salary of Mr. Rum -
ball by $200, and relieving him
of the duties of secretaryship.
On March 4, Council received
the advise of this compromise,
and decided to go to the chair-
man of the HEPC, Robert IT.
Saunders, Toronto, for advice in
the matter, Since Mr. Saunders
was planning an overseas trip
this conference was put off until
June 1. Mayor M. J. Agnew,
Chairman of the PUC H. R.
Hawkins and Commissioner W.
E. Perdue were the delegation
to Toronto.
No really concrete assistance,
M solving the problem was gain-
ed, and the men returned with
word which assured them that
the REPC had no intention of
granting permission to dissolve
the PUC.
To clarify the situation, May-
or M. 3. Agnew has prepared
the following statement: "There
is no Chance of dissolving the
PUC without the permission of
the HEPC. If permission were
gained, and the people voted for
the dissolving of the PUC, then
the council would have to oper-
ate the business of the PUC for
two years before they could hold
an election to ask the people if
they wished another Commis-
sion formed."

• THE VOICE OF .
TEMPERANCE
Some food for thought -facts,
gleaned from here and there: The
sales of brewery products in Can-
ada for 1952 were nearly twice
the figures for 1942. Ten carloads
of ale, carrying 400,000 pints, have
been shipped from a London brew-
ery within two years, as a gift to
Canadians serving in Korea and
Europe. Carling's Brewery Ltd.,
sent second gifts to Canadians
serving in armed forces outside of
Canada. It was 6,000 bottles of
Red Cap ale for use of HMCS
ships in Korean waters. A repre-
sentative of the House of Seagram
stated last September that his
firm is spending $2 nullion an-
nually to "secure Decorum in the
manufactUre, distribution and con-
sumption" of their product. Liquor
dealers at all levels continue their
well-planned efforts to hide the
end product of their business by
glamorous presentation of the
first impact of alcoholic beverages
on social situations, A significant
action, suggestive of their concern
about avoiding controversy, was
the sending of a letter withdraw-
ing scholarship offered to the
Toronto Board. of Education.
Final item-A.A. Groups in Can-
ada number approximately 450.
These are only a small percentage
of the Alcoholics we have in Can-
ada, about 245,000.
