'lay Much impr�ve�
Althoughthe Clinton Juniors
lost two close games during the'
past ,week their improved brand of
baseball 'has raised the hopes of
their supporters. Rick Elliott pit-
ched both games with Bill Mac-
Donald behind the plate and they
made a formidable battery. Rick
allowed just five hits in each game
but in both games one inning :prov-
ed to be the difference, Bill Mac-
Donald received the respect ofop-
posing runners. His strong right
arm fired theball to all bases, as
he attempted, to.,.pick men off and
cut down on the. stolen .bases,
Mary Shantz who has been play-
ing for the past two weeks started
to get the feel of the ball, he
banged :out a double and two
singles in six tines at bat and his
fielding also is imprpved.

estimate can be 100 per cent ac-
curate.
The surplus pupils from the one
room at SS 8 have been transport-
ed to SS 5, (about two miles) by
bus. Other area pupils have been
placed in Hensall, Clinton, Sea -
forth, Hullett Township and RCAF
Station Clinton schools. This year,
the latter two have indicated that
they would be unable to take them
in the future, owing to their own
problems of overcrowding. At the
same time overcrowding at SS 9
(the Red Tavern school) has
shown that some pupils may have
to be transported from that sec-
tion to another school.
Following the presentation of
the petition, it is understood that
the plan to build has been temp-
orarily abandoned, and the teacher
hired for the ,room has been re-
leased from her contract.
