Dresden Legion Juniors will vane to the Ali -Ontario Junior "C" finals against Chippewa. They earned the right to enter the "big series when they ,defeated Clinton 9-7 last Sunday afternoon on their home diamond. It was the second straight win for the Dresden club in the best of three semi-final series, - Like the first game of the series the second Was a tight duel all the way. Clinton fought desperate- ly to' stave off elimination but just couldn't produce, the hits when needed, At one time in the game Dresden had a 7-2 edge, only to have the game all tied up in the sixth by the spunky Clinton nine. Wright, on the mound for Dresden, proved to be the big ' stumbling block as he racked up 15 strikeouts for the second time in a row. He was helped by two home runs off the bats of,"London and Davies. Rick. Elliott pitched a great game allowing only eight hits but three of them came in the third inning when Dresden scored four runs. Rick scored two of his team's runs and collected two singles in three trips to the plate. Tom Colquhoun was the batting star for the Clinton team with two doubles that drove in four runs. The Clinton outfield coin posed of Ken Porter, Murray Col- quhoun and Johnny Hartley came up with some great catches to rob Dresden batters of several sure extra base hits. To the victors go the spoils but Clinton Juniors can hold their heads high. The better club .won and that is as it should be but the Clinton team played well even in defeat: The town, of Clinton should be proud of them and next. year who knows, maybe Clinton will have a championship team.

Trewartha commented on the fact that un- paid taxes at the present time were down from the amount out- standing at the end of last year. "If the back taxes had been in when the mill rate was struck", he said, "It could have meant a lowering. of 4 mills on the rate. That is the unfair Part of it. The people who do not pay their taxes on time, raise the rateto all other tax -payers, themselves included." Mr. Trewartha noted that next year the big debenture on the old part of the Collegiate Institute building would be paid off, after 30 years, and then there would be only $6,000 left of the debt on the old part of the building. Also in 1956 half of the sewage dispos- al system installation debenture will be paid off. Reeve Mel Crich asked for per- mission to go. ahead with the re- pairs to the entrance to the town hall, but was advised that it seemed highly improbable that there would be sufficient funds in his budget for the work. Mr. Trewartha counselled him to wait until 1956, when there would b,e no extra expenses for audit pur- poses. A. discussion was held on the possibilities for the organization of a pigeon shoot. Mayor M. J. Agnew and Councillor R. N. Irwin stated that they felt it was not just the right way to handle the problem. Conn. Bert Glidden suggested screens on the tower and belfry of the town hall. Coun. Trewartha said that he had found shooting the only efficient way to rid his barn of the pests. Complaint was received con- cerning the building of a garage and workshop which had been built within seven feet of a neigh- bours house, effectively shutting off the view from four windows. According to facts brought out in the discussion, there was really nothing council could do about it, since the builder had followed all set suggestions for the building, The next meeting of council will be on Friday, October 7.
