gratulated the constables on their
courtesy during the meeting, and
commented' that the "round table
discussion has cleared the air".
Reeve Crich supported the motion.
Coun. Irwin suggested that he
would be in favour of adding a
fen more employees' names to the
list for receiving ' an , increase.
Coun. Beattie said he would not
change his mind,, and definitely
"disassociated himself from the
motion". Coun. Shaddick stated
that he was not in favour of the
$2,600 figure. He said, "They're
making more than I•am, and only
working an eight hour day."-Coun.
Gliddon said -he felt it was a mat-
ter of barter. He did not feel
that the constables had given in
as much as they could have, but
he supported the motion. '.
Deputy Reeve Stanley comment-
ed on what he felt was inaccurate
publicity ,to the effect that the
public works men were getting a
raise. He cleared this matter by
stating that last year the foreman
got $2,600 plus $185 for overtime,
This:year'he has agreed to receive
$2,600 with no overtime. The oth-
er two men got 85 cents per hour

Clinton Pentecostal Church, spoke
in support of the constables, in
behalf of citizens in his area. He
mentioned that men in skilled
trades received an average of
$8,000 per year, and that when
$40,000 could be raised to put in
good highways to raise speeds and
increase dangers to citizens in
town, then he, would suggest that
motleys be used to buy a speed
trap for the assistance of the po-
lice, and to help increase wages,
rather than to buy resuscitators,

Act rules that municipal bodies

The matter of the dispute is in

men will have less money at the
end of the year, He opposed the
motion on the basis that if such a
raise were given in one depart-
ment it would be the fair thing to
give itin another.
The motion, made by Coun. Mc-
Intyre and seconded by 'Coun.
Knights, was suppgrted by Reeve
Crich, and Coun. Gliddon. The
others were opposed. The dead-
Iock was broken by a negative
vote from Mayor Agnew.
A second motion offering' the
constables $2,550 (a raise of .$100)
and to pay for the chief's tele-
phone plus $50, passed with only
three dissenters: Crich, Gliddon
and McIntyre. This offer was not
found to be acceptable to the
constables.,
An unsigned petition from the
Retail ,Merchants committee was
thrown out without consideration.
Blackwell started off strong
picking up two goals before the
Flyers could get their 'bearings.
Reeve took Guffin's pass and beat
Merner at 4.31 and Mason wheeled
around the right side of the de-
fence to skate in unmolested to
make it 2-0. "Rawlings got one
back before the period ended when
he tipped Armstrong's blue -line
shot past the amazed Blackwell
netminder at 18.42.
Zurich reversed the scoring in
the second period. Bob Hayter,
Ben Gignac and Hesse scoring for
the Flyers. Reeve scored his sec-
ond tally and LaTour counted the
other Blackwell goal. Shibbs was
particularly outstanding in this
period making several unbeliev-
able stops on'_ shots that seemed
to be certain goals, •
Play roughened up considerably
in the second period. , Referees
Bob Gaul and Harry Yost banish-
ing five men to the sin -bin for
various infractions.
Rawlings was the top man for
Zurich, he drew assists on five of
the Flyers goals and wasdanger-
ous every time he was on the ice.

$700 Grant
For Federation
A grant of $700 to the Tucker -
smith Township Federation of
Agriculture was made on Tues-
day, March 1 by that township's
council meeting .in Seaforth. This
amount will be payable on October
1. Reeve James Doig presided over
the meeting..
Jack Little,. Clinton, the only
tenderer for spraying cattle -for
warble fly control, received the
contract' at the sate of ten cents
per head per spray. No applica-
tions were received for warble fly
inspector, and conned later hired
Roy Consitt for the position at
the rate of $1 an hour and ten
cents a mile travelling expenses.
In the third period Blackwell
jumped to a two goal lead on two
quick counters by HambIour. 'Gig-
nac and Hesse each scored for
Zurich to have the count all even
at 13.42, Blackwell Went out `in
front again on a goal by Mason,
only to have the determined Fly-
ers come right back less than a
minute later with Youngblut fir-
ing the puck into the net, Rawl-
ings and Hayter earned assists
on the important goal.
Play was very even in the over-
time. Both teams were inclined
to playthings very •safe. . The big
break came when Blackwell were

dug the disc off the boards and
fed a pass to Benny Gignac sail-
ing down the right boards. Benny
carried thepuck to 'the Blackwell
biuelino before relaying the biscuit
to•Dcug O'Brien who scootedar-
ound the defence and beat Shibbs
cleanly, . The Flyers played wjth
a man short twice in the over-
time; Bob McKinley was thumbed
off for bighsticking and cross -
proached, 37 were in favour of
the present police force; four were
in ` favour of the council's proced-
ure, and ten would not commit
themselves.. On this basis the
committee had suggested three
things, that a discussion of the
matter be held between police and
council, that a maximum wage
scale for the department be set up,.
and that if harmony between the
police committee and the depart-
ment was lacking, that a new
committee be- set up.
Commenting on the petition,
Mayor Agnew said: "Really, to
me, this is pretty good. At elec-
tion time, not one .of these men
an the committee will let their
name stand for election, yet they
have the gall to try to tell us how
to run the town." Coun. Beattie
stated that not one of these hien
from the retail merchants com-
mittee cametoopencouncil meet-
ings, so that their information on
the matter must have come from
press or radio. Coun. 'Irwin' ask-
ed
sked if the letter was signed, and
when told it wasn't, said "Well,
throw it out then!"
