Sergeants Defeated
By Honorary
Members Of Mess
An innovation in softball was
held at the Recreation Centre,
RCAF Station Clinton on Friday
evening, September 24, A team
representing the Honorary Mem-
bers of the Sergeants' Mess from
Clinton and captained by Johnny
Parker, took the Sergeants' Mess
team, managed by Sgt. Prill, to
the tune of 9-8 in an indoor game
The novelty of the game, as well
as many playing highlights, creat-
ed a lot of enthusiasm and crowd
interest and made the contest an
affair that will certainly result in
future games.
Indoor softball is played on a
regulation playing area With a ball
about the size of an oversized
grapefruit. It is relatively soft in
comparison to a regulation soft-
ball. The bases are placed on the
wooden floor but not anchored and
the result of any sliding action is
good for a laugh at any time.
S/L Bury had his hands full.
with both teams but did a top-
notch job in appeasing the players
at the same time giving fair de-
cisions.
The game was a howling success
and the evening was concluded
with entertainment supplied by the
Honorary member's at the Serg-
eants' Mess. Refreshments con-
sisting of delicious fried chicken
and dance music supplied by Sgt.
Frank I-Iamon and his orchestra
rounded out a whale of a night. •

Two False Alarms;
Fire Marshall
At Lightfoot Farm
Two false alarms this week,
have gotten members of the Clin-
ton Fire Brigade to respond to the
call in prompt fashion. Quite early
Tuesday morning, and again yest-
erday afternoon the fire siren
sounded for no apparent reason,
It is expected that a short in wir-
ing somewhere, may be the cause.
Nota matter of false alarm, the
farm of Allan Lightfoot, R.R. 5,
Clinton, has suffered over $11,000
damage in a series of fires within
the f=ast four months. Both the
barn and garage have burned, and
mysterious fires have been discov-
ered in grass, fence posts, and
other places on the farm in that
period.
The drive shed was' burned two
weeks ago, and Clinton Fire De -

small fire was put out by the fam-
ily at the farm.
Puzzled by the unexplained be-
ginnings of the several fires, Fire
Chief Grant Rath called the On-
tario Fire Marshall in on the case,
and two men have investigated the
situation. No results have been
reported.
Mr. Lightfoot does not cultivate
the 50 -acre farm. He works as a
plumber at RCAF Station Clinton.

15 Teresa Street, London; died in

Thursday, September 23, 1954, in:
his 64th year, following an illness
of three weeks.
The elder son of the' late Ellen.
Elliott and James Fowlie, the de-
ceased man was born in Bayfield
April 1, 1891, and there grew to
manhood. 'Forty=five years ago; he
went to London where' he has re-
sided
esided ever since.
A successful manufacturing jewel-
ler, he learned his trade with the
firm of Avey & Johes, setting up
in business for himself in, 1930. He
was a member of; the Jewellers
Association,
"Laurie", as he 'was familiarly
known, will be greatly missed not
only by members of ,his own fam-
ily, but by a host of friends.
He is survived by a' brother,
Fred S. Fowlie, London, and three
sisters, Frances and Ethel, Hay-
field; Dorothy (Mrs. G. Koehler),
Zurich; also two nephews, John F:
Worsell, Edmonton, Alta.; and
Clyde J, Worse% New Westminst-
er, B.C.
The funeral service was, held at
the A. Millard George funeral
home, London, on Saturday after-
noon, September 25 at which the
Rev,, E. G. Turnbull and the Rev.
W. M. Kitely of Calvary United

storey construction, two -car brick
garage, two large verandahs, fire-
place, large in area. County As-
sessor Alexander stated he believ-
ed it to be one of the most valu-
able houses in town. Assessment
before equalization had been
$2,400, and now it is over $6,000.
Court. Schoenhals suggested a
re -assessment of the house espec-
ially as far as depreciation was
concerned. Chairman McIntyre
requested the assessors to do this
and present their figures at the
Monday meeting.
Tax Adjustments
Taxes in arrears, amounting to
some $360 were cancelled, Adjust-

Disposal Plant
At Clinton
USed A�
s s Example
Clinton's Sewage System is being
quoted as an example to officials
in the neighbour town of Seaforth
who are presently involved in
plans' for a similar system.
Seaforth Town is meeting with
some difficulty, in getting a proper
outlet for their sewage plant.
Members of the Township
of
Tuck-
ersmith council met with town
councillors early last week to pro-
test the emptying of effluent from
the sewerage plant into Silver
Creek, which runs behind Egmond-
vi,hle properties, and then into the
Bayfield River.
Dr. Berry, Department
of Health, reported no complaints
concerning the discharge from the
Clinton plant, and that the plant
here, was recognized as an 'effici-
ent one. F. Fingland, Q.C.,'Clintan,
confirmed
the statement t nt that no
complaints had been received,,
though he qualified this by stating
that the two situations were hard-
ly parallel. Mr. Fingland reported
that cattle were drinking water
from the Bayfield river, below the
sewerage . plant.
'Dr. R. M. Aldis, Clinton, of the
Huron County Health Unit said
that his office had more com-
plaints about chicken houses, etc.,
than of sewerage, A costly new
ranch -type house is being built
near the Clinton disposal plant and
also other houses, showing .the
people have high regard for pro-
perty in the vicinity, said Dr;
Aldis.
Dr, Aldis conunended the coun-
cillors at Seaforth for following all
proper procedure in establishing
their sewerage plant.
Gifts Dedicatd
At St. -Paul's
By Dean` of Huron
Special dedication service wale.
held in St. Paul's Anglican Church
last Sunday, when the Very Rev,:
R. C. Brown, Dean of Huron, was
the special speaker.
Following the processionalhynan,
the Dean proceeded to the newly
erected tablet for, the dedication..
At the foot of the tablet were book-
marks, made; by Mrs. R. Stevens,
a Book of Remembrance, and
handsomely embroidered pulpit
drops donated by a church in Brit-
ish Columbia. In impressive mari—
ner, these were all dedicated to
the service of the church,
In his sermon, the Dean stressed,'
the fact''that it was more import-
ant to dedicate "our own lives" to
God's service, than "our gifts",
The choir presented a special an— '
them for the occasion.
