h'orne diamond, by turning the
tables on Clinton 6-3. Leading
2-1 going into the sixth the Tig-

and a walk. They added another
run in' the eighth to take all the
sting` out of the Clinton attack.

game, allowing only five hits but
four errors caused his downfall..

Ray Wein and Stormes kept the
'safe blows well scattered. Mur-

Lions Club To. Hold Picnic Meetin -
_-
New Executive Layfor19J5-56
Plans
Was due to Maurice Bateman who
spent much time arranging light-
ing and electrical installation for
the carnival, Mr. Bateman was a
guest at the meeting and was
presented with a gift for his
efforts.
Executive Meeting
At a meeting of the new exec-
utive Tuesday evening this week,
incoming president Ken McRae
asked for full support and co-
operation of all. Committee chair-
men were picked and tentative
plans laid for the coming term.
It was announced that a Plant-
er's Peanut decorated float would
be in this district on July 9, and
it is hoped to have a peanut sales
drive, . similar to last year, the
week of July 11 to 16.
Last year's financial statement
was reviewed, and considering the
number of other activities in the
district, the Lions Club did well
in their own activities. Last week's
street frolic was a success and in
all probability will be continued
another year.
Final figures on the Easter Seal
appeal were released; $826.50 be-
ing collected for this purpose.
After expenses are deducted, one-
half of, this money stays right in
Clinton to be used for crippled
children welfare.
Through the generosity of Lions
Stewart Middleton, Clinton , Lions
Club is holding its final meeting
of the term at his picnic grounds.
A chicken barbeqUe (with all the
frills), sports and entertainment
are planned, for Tuesday evening,
June 28, beginning at six o'clock.
At last week's dinner meeting
the new slate of officers was in-
stalled by International Counsel-
lor Nelson Hill, Goderich. Lion
Hill was introduced by president
Royce Macaulay and asked to in-
stall the 1955-56 executive of the
club.
After congratulating the out -go-
ing president and his officers,
Counsellor Hill spoke to each of
the 12 new executive members in
turn, instructing each in his duty
and obligation to the club, Past
District Deputy Governor Hugh
Hawkins thanked Lion Hill, who
is a charter member of the Gode-
rich club.
Lion Macaulay thanked his club
for co-operation in the past year.
He said -he has enjoyed his presi-
dency, and to become president of
his club, should be the ambition
of every Lion,
Ken McRae, the new president,
asked for continued support of all
members. Lion McRae said the
ambition in the coming year is to
better the club; as each past exec-
utive had done.
Lion Maxwell, Sarnia, a guest
at the meeting, spoke briefly and
offered a prize on behalf of this
company—a, mirror—to be drawn
for at the Tuesday evening get-
together at Middleton's farm.
President Macaulay spoke of the
success of the skating carnival
last winter. Much of this success

Fills Vacant Seat
Three young Airmen were fined
$25 each and costs in magistrate's
court here on Tuesday, on a
charge of car theft. The young
men plead not guilty, stating that
they had taken a comrade's car
for a trip to St. Catharines two
Sundays ago, ni the belief that it
had been loaned to them.
Richard O. Mathews, the airman -
owner of the car related a conver-
sation concerning the car which
was held in a joking manner, and
he had offered them the red 1955
model car parked at the gate.
This was ananswer in joke, since
all the men knew that Mathews'
car was a 1939 model.
The "borrowing -three" were
picked up near Thorold by a Pro-
vincial Policeman who recognized
the car as one listed in the morn-
ing reports of thefts. They have
spent the time since then in the
County jail in Goderich.
Careless Driving
Young Robert Marshall, RR 3,
Blyth, was fined a minimum of
$10 and costs on a charge of care-
less driving on Highway 4, just
north of Londesboro, when he fail-
ed to stop behind a car belonging
to William Lawlor.
A charge of impaired driving
against a Clinton man was dismi-
v
sed because of insufficient eid-
ence.

only 58 mills,
Mayor M. J: Agnew spoke in
memory of Dr. McIntyre, and in
praise of the council of 1955.
Coun. George Knights regretted
the passing of Dr. McIntyre, and
mentioned the help he had been
on the finance committee. "We
have the cheque for $S,053.94,
from the bonding company, which
by no means pays for the losses
we have had. There are many
more meetings yet to hold. The
councillors this years are a grand
bunch of fellows to work with. We
didn't agree on all of the police
matters, still we are good friends,
and work together. We have had
a good bit of criticism—some of
it just and some of it unjust. I
think that the reason we have
such a small crowd out to -night
is because of that unjust criti-
cism."
Reeve Crich agreed with Mr.
Trewartha that some of thede-
benture debt would soon be writ-
ten off, but "we don't know what
well have to face. I believe Clin-
ton has advanced in the County,
farther than any other town—we
have good streets and good sewer-
age. True, we. have to spend_
money to ,,do that, but it encour-
ages the people who live and build
in Clinton"
Coun. Bert Gliddon was intro-
duced by Chairman Corless as the
"former of Little England", Ile
stated that the men on council
this year had gained `twice the
experience in municipal work
that a man on any in any other
year would gain. Each year we
have new difficulties to take the
place of the old ones. It's still
the best town in the County.
Coun, B. Stanley mentioned the
good results he was getting from
the streets committee, and that a
good deal of work had been done,
with a lot planned that was yet
to do.
Coun. Irwin, speaking of council
work, said that in the past six
months he had learned more of
municipal law and business than
he had dreamed possible, and that
he would continue to put all of
his time and purpose to the prog-
ress of the town.
All of the councillors spoke in
praise of the late Dr. McIntyre,
and in regret at his passing.
