Clinton News Record, 1955-11-10, Page 3• Compressor Explosion Injures Hensall Men Two men were burned by escap- ing ammonia fumes, one severely, and The roof of Hensall Arena's' engine room was displayed Satur- day as fumes were released on the bursting of a compressor unit and gas, explosions followed. It is likely that the ice -making will be delayed at least one week. No immediate plans have been made for repairing the engine room roof. Taken to South Huron District Hospital, Exeter, and transferred Sunday to a Toronto hospital was Herbert Weigold, 47, Toronto, a mechanic with Creamery Package Co., who suffered burns to his face, right arm, right side of his chest and left forearm. . S. Scruton CITIES SERVICE DISTRIBUTOR For Service Call 377W After 6 p.m. — 377J • Treated at hospital and, released was Arena Manager Lloyd Mous- seau, Hensall, who was with Wei- gold in the engine room and suf- fered minor ammonia fume affects. Escaping injury was Dave Sang- ster, chairman of the Hensall Arena : Board. Reeve Williiir Park and Con- stable Ernie- Davis arrived just as the room was rocked by a flash explosion which lifted the engine room roof three inches 'and dis- placed the top row of building blocks. Reeve Park said both he and the officer Were unhurt by the initial explosion which was follow- ed by two of lesser proportions. Gas formed in the room by the escaping ammonia fumes were blamed for the explosions. The reeve said a head gasket in the compressor blew out Saturday morning and contact was made with the Toronto firm which made the installation one year ago in order to have repairs made im- mediately. • New Gasket Blew At mid-afternoon Mr. Weigold arrived and, accompanied by Mousseau and Sangster, made necessary repairs. However, after the compressor had been started, the new gasket, which had been installed also blew out, resulting in the injuries to the men. Reeve Park said ice -making in the arena building was started last Wednesday and that ice had been provided to a thickness of from one-eighth to one-quarter inch when theincident happened. 4.410-11-41.4-64-11-41-014, Transparent — Plastic t STORM WINDOW KIT 36"x 72" PLASTIC SHEET i• READY 18 Feet 35' FIBRE MOULDING + NAILS TO TACK ON For Those Wide Windows 48"x27 ft. plus 138" of 1" waterproof adhesive tape $4.49 Kit WE ALSO CARRY ROLLS OF WATERPROOF ADHESIVE TAPE -1"x60 ft. $1.00 per roll SUTTER-PERDUE YOUR FRIGIDAIRE DEALER Phone 147 Clinton INTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE TRREE THERE'S ONE IN EVERY GROUP, SAYS PHOTOGRAPHER This photo won a prize for Edwin Stein of Madison, Wis., in a magazine photo contest, and he 'labelled it "Politician."

Men Suspended Six Months For Theft Of Gasoline. Here Chief of Police Russel , Thorp the plug in the bottom, of the gas tank of Gordon Hamilton's car (proprietor of Melva Manor) had been taken out and most of the gave had been removed, Appearing in magistrate's court in Goderich the following day, No- vember 3, the men were given six months suspended sentence, each. and ordered to pay the court costs. They are: LAC Roger Gauthier and LAC Robert Let- reille. son and Constable A. Shaddick, last Wednesday morning arrested two airmen (trem RCAF Station Clinton) and lodged them in the county jail at Goderich. The arrest followed investiga- tion of rather strange behaviour on the part of the two men, when they received help from Constable Shaddick in getting their car started. The Constable noticed the men at about 4.30 a.m. sitting in their car in front of the Melva Manor restaurant. He stopped to. see what they wanted, and gave them a shove with the police cruiser. As soon as their car start- ed, the men drove off with great speed, so the constable followed them to the Station. Further rather suspicious ac- tions on the airmen's part, and the finding of a can in the back seat, prompted further investiga- tions, and the police found that Germany has replaced Canada as the second biggest trader with Mexico where buyers want barg- ains which, in many cases, Can- ada's high -wages high taxes pol- icy, make impossible. Clinton Men Attend Zone Meeting Of Fair Boards Reeve Mel Crich and agricultur- al representative G. W. Montgom- ery, Clinton, heard a plea for credit to smaller fairs for money spent in junior farm. club exhibit prizes, at a meeting in Mitchell last week of the Ontario Associa- tion of Agricultural Societies, District No. 8. Some of the delegates to the meeting expressed their opinion that it was not right, when a small fair was trying to attain "B" status, and was encouraging 4-H Club and other junior ex- hibits, that this prize money should not apply to the total. To qualify for promotion to Class "B", with its higher scale of government grants, a Class "C" fair must first pay out $3,000 a year for three years, in prize money for agricultural classes. According to present Dominion government regulations, however, prize money paid for junior calf club shows, 4-H swine shows, or similar fall fair projects, can not be counted toward the $3,000 total. '•C" fairs in Perth and Huron counties that have been working toward the goal of Class "B" in- clude Brussels, Listowel, Seaforth, and Mitchell, all of which have been sponsoring junior farm club projects. The only Class "B" fair, at present, in District No. 8, is Stratford. Adopt Resolution A resolution drafted by G. W. Montgomery, agricultural repre- sentative for Huron, which re- commends that prize money paid for junior activities at fall fairs should be taken into account to- ward the required $3,000 total, was passed unanimously. The Dist- rict 8 meeting also endorsed un- animously a similar resolution, asking that women's departments at fall fairs, such as sewing and baking, also be given status as agricultural activities, for the pur- pose of promotion to Class "B".

RENEW NOW AND SAVE! Clifton News -Record Outlines Regulations The principal speaker at the gathering was William McMullen, Toronto, fieldman for the livestock branch of the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. Mr. McMul- len defined the regulations under which the Dominion government now grants "B" status to fairs. To count toward its total of $3,000 prize money for each of three con- secutive years, he said, a fair board may include only 'futility agricultural classes." As the reg- ulations now stand, he said, all the regular agricultural classes of cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, grain, fruit and vegetables may be counted, but no light horse prize money may be taken into the reckoning, except for some breeding classes. Dairy goats and fur -farm animals such as foxes may be included, he said, but the regulations at present exclude junior activities and women's work departments. Once a fair is graded "B", he explained, it may receive Domin- ion government grants toward capital costs, for construction of buildings and improvement of the grounds. "In this frantic race to become Class "B", asked Robert Carbert, Wingham, moderator of the panel, which was the principal feature of the afternoon program, "are we forgetting the interests of the smaller fairs?" "That's a point that has bother- ed me," said Alex McTaggart, one of the panel members, Mr. Mc- Taggart is associate director of the horticultural and agricultural societies branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. "How many Class 'B' fairs can we have? How far apart should the 'B' fairs be? I think the local fair has to bring out the local exhibitor; pos- sibly some of these 'C' fairs should try to limit their exhibit areas,— make it more of a local fair." "If you're not getting local int- erest in your fair, get into more 4-H club work," advised G. W. Montgomery, Clinton, another panel member. "It's the best way you can find to promote local int- erest. Spend $75 in prize money, and you can bring out 50 junior exhibitors, — and each one will bring out his family." The panel discussion also pro- duced some vigorous debate, pro and contra, on the subject of prize money for horses at fall fairs. Some fall fairs, It was noted, are paying as much as a third of all their prize money, for horse clas- ses. The debate, which reached no conclusion, centred around the question whether it would be bet- ter to have the horses as an at- traction, or have more prize money available for other classes of live- stock, and do without horses at a fair. 0- SEAFOILTH LOSES SECOND GAME TO LUCAN TEAM Seaforth Junior B's played the second exhibition game of the sea- son on October 28, when Lucan won 8-5 at Lucan. -- Seaforth News.
