THERE STILL ARE TWO VIEWS
on the subject of whether the
Bayfield Road from Clinton will
end in a pair of three -degree
curves, or will continue west in
a straight line until it meets the
Blue Water Highway County
Council has sanctioned the
straight route Goderich
Township Council recently stated
that they were opposed " to this,
but in favour. of the route which
sticks more closely to the pres-
ently • travelled route, and in-
cludes the° two curves . . One
observer from that area reports
that' between 15 and- 20 men"
working for ` the county 'are
presently at` work clearing the
bush, and he la reasonably sure
that they are preparing the way
for the straight route An-
other, observer from the area,
tells us that though the men are
working, they have not yet prog-
ressed far enough into the area
but that their work would
be of `value if the curved route
is chosen . . Negotiations are
still under way to have the de-

plete the agreements on behalf of

Iowing a meeting of council in

On a charge which bears a max-
imum penalty of $500, Magistrate
b, E, Holmes yesterday showed
leniency, and fined Leslie Ray-
mond Bell, 18, RCAF Station

weeks in jail. The charge was
that of tailing to hold a permit for
a firearm in his possession. •.
Bell had been found late Feb-
ruary 19,
eb-ruary,19, sitting behind the wheel
of Constable R. Quayle's car as it
was parked on Victoria Street.
Quayle • discovered that :the man
was in possession of a loaded .45
calibre Remington automatic, and
obtained the mans story that he
had been hitchhiking. to Western
Canada, and had gotten into the
car to get warm.
Bell pleaded guilty "Rather ex-
traordipary evidence" introduced
by E. B. Menzies, Clinton lawyer,
showed that the lman had been
examined by psychiatrist just
three days before the incident,
and this examination had indicated
,possibilities' of just such an in-
cident as had occurred.
Crown Attorney Hays mention-
ed the fact that the boy had tak-
en the revolver from another ,air -

ently the boy's girl • friend, who

Grader Purchase
Authorized For
Streets Work
Decision to investigate the pur-
chase of a used, grader for road
building within the town, was
made in a special council meeting,
called hurriedly on Tuesday at
noon, (Neither press, nor public
were advised of this meeting until
after it was held).
The public works committee
headed by Deputy Reeve Burton
Stanley, is considering permanent
paving of certain streets»in town.
At present about half a mile of
road has been designated for this
work,
Cost of repairing the old grader,
apparently has been found too
high, and the availability of this
proposed machine seems oppor-
tune. A. ' delegation of two coun-
cillors, streets foreman Jack
Woods, and two diesel mechanics
has beenauthorized to investigate
the diesel machine, and to purch-
ase it if -the cost does not,exceed
$3,500.
According to Mayor M. J. Ag-
new, the operating costs of this
diesel machine are expected to be
much lower than with the present
grader, since the fuel cost is low-
er. Also, it is a heavier machine,
equipped with snow plow, and
other attachments to do the heavy
work whiehwill be required of it.
