Lobb From Treasure Chest ,,.First coupon out of the drum list Saturday afternoon was the Melee' one for Mrs. Frank Lobb. That is, if her ,husband remember- ed to tell her that it was her coupon. In aceordance, with the rules of the draw, Mr. Lobb was able to pick up his wife's winnings,. of $21..88, the result of drawing a five percent coupon. Em-ceeing the day, as custom- ary, was Bob Campbell, assisted by Robert N. Irwin superintending the draw, Doug Ball and Mac Cameron in charge of the truck bearing the drum, and last week the sound system was provided by 'Merrill Radio and Electric. Prior to the draw the sound car . drove through the streets, notifying peo- ple that it would soon be time. Bob Campbell read the list of participants, to which several new merchants had been added during the past week, and then went on to clarify Rule 9, the one in which certain persons are excluded from the draw. The steering committee had decided that merchants par- ticipating in the Appreciation Day, and their opposition in town shall not be eligible to win. Next week the Treasure Chest amounts to $490.81, and someone may win up to $245.41, if a 50 percent coupon is drawn. - The least that can be won is five per- cent, or $24.54. The crowd around the sound truck last week was the largest yet, and the two-inch fall of snow which arrived in the morning, was - swiftly packed into the ground, all over the small Library Park. Sus- pense was strong, and the -waiting crowd stood • patiently until the draw is made. Then they dispers- ed to their homes, or to shop in the pre -Christmas decorated stores.

The main auditorium of the church was packed to its capacity of just over 500 persons, both for morning and evening services: Following, the morning, regular service; during which. Rev.- G. 'Gr Burton; London, and Rev. W. J. Woolfrey (bath former ministers of the charge) assisted Rev. A. G. Eagle, the congregation follewed the ministers and choir into the new assembly hall. A dedication and . official opening ceremony were . conducted, , during which George Levis, .chairman of the buildingcommittee, presented the keys` of the church to Rev. A. G, Eagle, who accepted them in the name of the church; and Will Plumsteel,. acting for the elders, cut the ribbon stretched across the front of the stage. Throughout the afternoon be- tween 700 and 800 visitors called at the church to view the new addition.. They were received by 14 -mem- ber receiving line,. headed by Rev. and Mrs. A. G.

In 'hat was quite a quiet nomination day meeting all officials were re- turned to office, with no extra .names brought forward. George Ginn acted as chairman for the meeting. Councillor N. W. Trewartha, Clinton, brought greetings from the town, and men- tioned the fact that "We've never tried toannex any part of God• erich Township. I believe that if Clinton continues to grow it will be toward the . east, rather than toward the west." Reeve John Deeves spoke of the work of County Council, men- tioning the grant of $15,000 which Clinton • requested for the Public Hospital renovation: Re- ferred to committee, it was re- duced to $6,000, and this was re- commended for action by the 1956 County Council. Of the seven miles of road re• built in the county last year, God- erich Township got two, went on the Reeve, and he mentioned the bridges built recently in the county. He predicted that the County Home would cost more in the future, because more staff was being added. He noted that $2,300 had been taken in at the County Museum this year from visitors. In the Township, we lowered the tax rate by one mill," said Mr. Deeves, "and we have a sur- plus of about $1,800." Chairman Ginn asked, "Did I understand you to say that they had, advertised for a superinten- ent for the County Home?" Deeves answered, Yes, and for a registered nurse." Mr. Ginn went on to say that this was one thing in which he disagreed with the county actions in the past. Neith- er the assessor, clerk, road engin- eer, ngineer, nor the assistant clerk were advertised for, and Mr. Ginn felt that it was only right that such positions should be advertised publicly. Councillor Kenneth Me r n e r mentioned his work as relief of- ficer, saying that he did not think $1 per month per person for clothing was sufficient. "It does- n't go far," he said. He mention- ed that gravel would be put on the next week, and that calcium as applied this summer was ex- pected to save in gravel expense. He mentioned that talk was get- ting a truck and tractor for the Township next year. "Snow plow tendering was not too brisk. We- 've hired the Same two as last year." He suggested that with a township owned 'truck, it would be easier getting the north end of the township plowed. �� eviese-leeMeeeteiteitelelei urc es Heads Council G°derich Tw • FREEp_WE'LL MAIL A PERSONALLY ADDRESSED CHRISTMAS GREETING TO EACH GIFT SUBSCRIBER. Send the . Clinton News -Record i;as'rttt�nhlbrt; this year t ■ Councillor Wilmer Harris o n• stated that calcium put on the roads last summer cost $5,000. He said he believed, it did a good job on the dust, and is holding,, the road together. "The grader," said Harrison, "has cost us a good deal in repairs."" Councillor Grant Stirling (who. will be entering his second year in municipal life) said, "It's a lot easier to find fault than to do it yourself." He mentioned work done at' the corner of the Sixth and the Telephone Road, and op- ening the road to, Black's Beach, which he predicted was goad bus- iness. He said he would like to see a road to the beach at the Cut' Line,and also -at the end of the new County Road north of Bayfield. He said he was defin- itely in favour of buying a truck and tractor soon. "Our weed cpt- ting has cost us too much money," said Stirling. , "The grader has done 'a good job, but we'll likely have to replace it in a few years." Councillor Walter Forbes (who. also enters his second year in council, thought he had six years of school board before that) men- tioned grants available for fixing roads at railway crossings, and said that he was in favour of us- ii:g calcium, "I belive we expect too much work by the grader, which should be done by a bull dozer." said Mr, Forbes. He men- tioned -his approval;of opening up the lake front, because cottages did not need school facilities, nor snow plowing :however, he warn- ed -that they might make .a gar- bage service necessary. He stat- ed that the matter of disposing of tip cans was becoming a problem, and that some method of getting rid of them was soon going to be recessary, -'At the present time, cans are making an unsightly mess of our sideroads," he said. Answering questions put by Chairman Ginn, Reeve Deeves an•. swered that the Rapson Bridge case was not settled, and is to come up in Toronto at the first appeal in December. He said that as -far as law suits about the cat. tle beast (said to have been pois oned) went, it. was being dealt with by the insurance agency. The township now has one family', on relief, and they were apt to be so for some time. Reeve Deeves mentioned an eld- erly couple, brought from Europe by their son several years ago: Their son' had since been killed in an auto accident, and the pair (both over 70) have no means of support. They are both in good health, but the township apparen- tly is financially responsible for them. Mr, Deeves stated that he felt the Dominion Govermnent should accept responsibility for them, since they brought the couple here. Roy Tyndall, road superintend- ent, said he felt the calcium had been well worth its cost. He said the reason the roads had been bad this fall, had been because there were no showers, to make it possible for the grader to work; then the grader broke down and parts had to come from the Uni- ted States. Visiting Reeve Harvey Coleman from Stanley Township spoke brieflyt mentioning that in his op- inion the buying of a dump was but the first step for the Town- ship, and that then the main trouble began, of getting people to .carry their tin. cans ,and refuse back from the gateway', TURKEY BINGO LEGION HALL, KIRK STREET Thursday, December 1 15 GAMES for TURKEYS 3 Share -the -Wealth Games with Jackpot of $58.00 on 58 Numbers 1 SPECIAL for $25.00 — ALSO — DOOR PRIZE OF ONE TURKEY ADMISSION CARD: 50e; Extra Cards 25e or 5 for $1.00 Special Cards: 15e 2 for 25e; 5 for 50c Sponsored by CLINTON BRANCH NO. 140, CANADIAN LEGION PROCLAMATION MUNICIPAL ELECTION TOWN OF CLINTON will be held on Monday., Dec. 5, 1955 for the following offices: FOR THE OFFICE, OF MAYOR, two men hare qualified: M.
