three lots, ,one' of Miss Picketts,
and two of Mrs, Mackinnon's.
' Harry Henry, manager of Can,

chine shop by Russell Jervis had
blocked the view from his house

"Heaven forbid," went on the
speaker, "that any man behind a
desk in "that park". (meaning
Queen's Park) should take away
the traditional rights of the local
people to take care of their own
affairs,"
"Schools should never be an
easy place," said Dr. Cannon.
"There is a great challenge for
the young people here to learn
together and live together. Mt is
a place where we search for truth
among our friends."
Schools are growing, said the
deputy minister. In 1944 there
were 640,000 pupils in secondary
and elementary schools, This year
there are 1,044,000 and by 1965 it
is known that there will be 1,-
750,000 pupils. Two thousand
classrooms are' being built each
year which means lots of con-
struction and a lot of teachers to
man them.
Bernard Hall, Blyth member on
the CDCI board thanked the
speaker. George Falconer, RR 5,
Clinton, was chairman of the
meeting. Rev. H. a Wilson of-
fered the dedicatory prayer, and
Rev, J. W. P. Graham. requested
the benediction.
Mayor M. J. Agnew spoke at
length congratulating the board
and staff, and welcoming the vis-
itors to Clinton. Warden Earl
Campbell, who had just come

rich, remarked upon the progress
in the county ,5hpwn by the new
