Hospital Auxiliary Will Purchase Much Heeded Valve For Incubator At the regular' monthly meeting of the Clinton Hospital Auxiliary in the nurses' residence on Mon- day afternoon members approved the purchase of additional equip- ment for the incubator for pre- mature babies in the hospital nursery. The incubator had been purchased four years ago by the auxiliary and the cost of the ad ditienal equipment will be, approx- imately $80. Mrs. Harry Ball, president, in reporting from a recent meeting from the Hospital Board said that due to the large amount of blind- ness in premature babies, found to be caused by too much oxygen in incubators, the . Ontario Depart- ment of Health had made it com- pulsory for a valve to control the oxygen in the incubator. The mo- tion was passed by Mrs. Frank Fingland and Mrs. D. J. Lane, both of whom are, pant presidents of the auxiliary. Mrs. Fingland remarked that the cost of the valve was low, when one consider- ed the value of it. Mrs. Clifford Epps, buying con- vener, was directed to consult with the hospital superintendent, Miss A. Sinclair, regarding several suggested purchases for the hos,- pital sudh as footstools for patient rooans. The suggestions were men- tioned by Mrs. Alex Haddy and Mrs: Mitchell Shearing. Mrs. C. L. Rathbun, represent- ative of the auxiliary on the Clin- ton and District Branch of the Cancer Society, spoke regarding the meeting which is being held by the ' branch this week. A final" report, on the monster Penny Sale, by its convener, Mrs. 1i'illihin Morlok, revealed that the net proceeds amounted to $542. A regort on the fall meeting of region two of the Women's Hos- Wel Auxiliary held in Stratford lest month was presented by Mrs. Clarence A. Trott, who as a dole, gate attended the meeting along with Mrs, Ball, 1VIrs. A. • J. MoMurray and Mrs. Fred Trott, treasurer and seere-, tary respectively, gave their monthly reports. Following the meeting a delic- ious lunch provided by Mas. Clif- ford Epps, was /served by Mrs. Epps and Mrs. Rathbun. Mrs. D. J. Lane poured' tea from a dainty tea table, with cover. in pink tones, centred with a china bowl artistically arranged with mauve and yellow 'mums. SS 4 Club Met At McCartney's Mrs. H. McCartney was hostess to the SS No. 4 Community Club for the last meeting, at which there were 19 members and seven visitors present.

A request from a Toronto firm for information on Clinton, and for any brochures available, was turned over to the president of the Clinton and District Chamber of Conunerce, Councillor . W. S. "Bert" Gliddon to take care of. A by-law fixing the assessment of farm lands within the corpora- tion of the town was passed. This amounts to the reduction to 35 percent of the regular assessment figure. Farm places affected are owned by Ernest Brown, Raglan Street; C. Elliott, Beech Street; J. Becker, Victoria Street; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bond, High, Townsend and East Streets; John Elliott, Irwin Street; W. Steepe, Victoria Terrace; M. Wiltse, Mrs. Daisy Holland, Mrs. M. R, Mac- kinnon and Frank Andrews, Gode- rich Township; Fred Reid, H. Fairservice; Roy Pickett, Mary Street, and the Fish and Game Club House, Alma Grove. The 1955 assessment roll was accepted, showing total assess- ments of Land, $181,984.00; Build- ings, $1,631,467,50 and Business, $160,833.62—a total of $1,974,335,- 12. These amounts are the basis. for the taxes collected in 1956.' So that, if the mill rate remains the same as this year, at 74 mills, it will mean a collection of $146,- 100.80 in taxes in 1956. On request of veteran Council- lor N. W, Trewartha, figures for the previous year were presented as follows: Land, $171,753.50; Buildings, $1,575,971.75; Business, $158,107.51—a total of $1,905,832.- 76.

Police Report The monthly report from Chief Russel " Thompson, showed that during October the town police had made six arrests, carried out 41 investigations, collected. $155 in fines, issued 14 warnings of high- way traffic violations, had found 14 business places insecure, had investigated nine accidents, dealt with one impaired driving case, and one of auto theft, two of bicycle theft. In closing the re- port, Mayor M: J. Agnew stated that the police have plenty to de. He stated that one of the men lately had worked for 45 hours straight. Councillor Livermore comment- ed that the younger generation of this area should be complimented on the lack of trouble at Hal- lowe'en time. Councillor Trewar- tha spoke up and said he felt the police should be complimented for their good work and the mayor agreed, "Yes, I think they're do- ing all right." Encouraging After listening to the reports of the committee chairmen, Council- lor George Knights, head of the finance committee remarked that things looked encouraging, and they just might end up on the right side of the ledger, Councillor Trewartha noted the fact that though there had been $6,400 spent on the tool shed and garage for the public works de- partment, this was not in the budget, and yet finances seemed to be in good shape. Reeve Melvin Crich, spoke words of congratula- tion to the clerk and to the fin- ance chairman for their good work, Co unci 11 or Trewartha (member of the finance rommit- tee) explained that he felt the reason' for success was that the committee had meetings regularly with the Mayor and the clerk. Mayor Agnew concurred. He said,' "A lot of it is due to the advent of Mr. Trewartha. He has added a lot." Streets Torn Up Some discussion was held on the matter of street surfaces being torn up by men with the Bell Telephone Company, in connection with the change to dial phones, here. Reeve Crich expressed the opinion that the "Bell" men were doing the best they could. An ar- rangement had been made to have the town streets gang back -fill and black top, with the costs charged to the Bell Telephone Company. Street ilghts Council ok'd the installation of a street light on Dunlop .Street, between King and Fulton Streets, and another on John Street, be- tween Albert and Queen. Both of these locations have been dark areas for pedestrians.

With the first. coupon drawn here on Saturday afternoon from the ; Merchants' Treasure Chesit, Mr, Gibbings was announced the winner of five per- cent of the chest's total.

A good third of the area of Library Park was packed with waiting people, and across the Highway on the side• walks another throng waited for the loudspeaker's announcement. Benefitting from the Saturday's crowd was the bake sale which the Huron- Road Happy Workers Club was conducting in the Coun- cil Chamber. Spokesman for the club reported that there was no- thing left at all, but a few aprons and other hand work.
