Mr. Fines requested that the Board try to get something done. about the muddy condition of Princess Street in front of the school, and Mr. McEwen, repre- sentative from the Town of Clin- ton was asked to contact the council to arrange for cut stone. at least to be placed on the road- way.

The radio topic for discussion was"Is Local Govern- ment Effective?" The answer was "yes": We think the township government creates more interest locally than one over a danger area, and it is es- sential for the maintenance of democracy in a nation. The rea- sons given for this decision were that the local government looks after the schools, employing bus drivers, and also the types of schools built. It was decided that school areas are more satisfactory than the individual school boards, and each school section should have a trustees on the board. The local government has 100 per cent control of reforestation, dog taxes and livestock claims; they have 75 per dent of say in weed control, 100 per cent assess- ment Control of property and pow- er to spend considerable money back -into the ,local municipality. In our township a good percent- age of,voters turn out to elections and•thbre is considerable interest shown in; annual meetings, etc. Our township council strikes all local ,rates They control efficient ly the vaccination, TB testing, weed spraying, warble -fly spray- ing etc:;; these things which are important to farmers. They are a democratic body. They look af- ter welfare, and through their ef- forts our roads are very well ploughed in winter, graded and gravelled, and chloride used for dust control during the past sum- mer. The county council do a good job with the county roads, the County Home, schools, hospitals, etc. We think they are indispen- sable. Following the broadcast and interesting discussion, Elwin Mer- rill showed views of Florida which were enjoyed by all. Lunch was served by the ladies. The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Pearson. FRIENDLY FEW FORUM (By Mrs. F. Riley) The Friendly Few Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Jewitt with a good attend- ance. The two groups decided that we could not do without local coun- cils, high school representatives, school trustees, etc.; also we would get ,better results from them than from men from Toron- to or a distance. Progressive euchre was played and the prizes going to: ladies' and men's high, Mr. and.Mrs. Bill Dale; ladies' low, Joyce Jewitt; men's low, Frank Riley. Mr. and Mrs. Verne Dale invited the forum to their home for next week, LIVE WIRE FORUM The Live Wire Farm Forum met on November 14, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Snyder, with an attendance of 19. The broadcast "Does Local Govern- ment Still Work?" was listened to. The discussion period under the leadership of Mrs. Ted Hunk- ing decided that, "Yes, we do think the local board .erves the people to a good advantage, Rea- sons were that they are closer to the taxpayer and so are better acquainted with the individual needs. Complaints sent to local councils in boards carry more weight than if sent to county or province. The business period was taken care of. Next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Flunking. Cards were played and lunch was served. LONDON SNAPSHOT SERVICE Clinton Bowling Alley PARR LINE FORUM (By our Hensall correspondent) Theatm forum met Parr Line F at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Charles Robinson. `There were 16 members and five children in at-. tendance; The forum thinks local govern- ment is overn-mentis serving a useful purpose, but it, could possibly serve it bet- ter. If there was no local govern- ment we would have no voice. People do riot take' enough inter- est,in their Township and County Councils. If they did there would be better local government. If the people would take a more ac- tive part in local government there would be no'aroom for crit- icism. • ' Winners at euchre were: ladies' first, Mrs, Gordon Coleman; con- solation, G. Coleman; mens first, Gordon Love; . consolation, Jim McAllister; lone hands, Wilfred Mousseau. The next forum meet- ing will be held at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Stewart Blackwell. 0 SPECIAL Thur., Fri.

At a tournament held in Wing - ham, November 1, they won all their games by decisive scores which made them HSSA champ- ions. Tuesday they played St. Marys at the Mitchell District High School. This game was far from close as the Clinton team de- feated St. Marys 75-20. This com- ing Saturday they go to London to compete in the WOSSA finals. Pupils In New Bayfield School (Continued from Page One) can be turned on to blow through the lockers to dry damp clothes. The first, day the pupils jumped each time the electric bell rang. g Howard Scotch¢ner enjoys the view. From his seat he can look right down town. Perhaps the senior pupils do not express their opinions so freely as the little ones, but Rosemarie Tel- ford voiced the feeling of all in that room, whenshe told Mrs. Path: "Everybody thinks that it is so nice." And in the Junior room, little Janice' Merner said to .Mr's. Park- er: "Isn't this a' lovely room?" While Terry Fitzsimons echoed Mrs. Parker's own thoughts: "My, it's quiet." (There was none of the shuffling and scraping of feet overhead as in the old school,) The scholars are demonstrating that they are proud of the new school. They have co-operated with the .teachers in unpacking and placing books, etc. Some have stayed extra hours to number and adjust the seats, attach names to coat, hangers, and help in various ways. And on Tuesday, the' teachers, relaxed after the completion of the transfer, appeared in new frocks and each wore a corsage of flowers. And Mrs. Maynard Corrie sent down a bouquet of chrysanthemums which graced the front window. The formal opening will be held at a later date. Members of the team are Marie Lee, Marlene Walsh, Joanne Hod- gins, Betty Ducharme, Marjorie Goldsworthy, Ruth Merrill, Ina Taylor, Ila Grigg, Paige Philips, Carol Tyreman, Katherine Mc- Gregor. . o Soccer Team Ties Game At Strathroy The Clinton soccer team played Strathroy on Saturday afternoon, Piet Hummel scored the Clinton goal, tying the score 1-1, with only seven minutes left to play. soccer is asked to contact John Hoytema.
