"ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN
Meech! . , And how! . . . Gooey
slush covered theestreets Yester-
day maiming; today a wild and
woolly storm was blowing and
winter was back again—for how
long no one knows! . . .
INCIDENTALLY, THE ONTARIO
Department of Highways did a
fine job when a bulldozer shov-
ed the standing piles of snow
and ice into the main street to
thaw out and run away at water
. , The purpose was pretty well
accomplished, but Nature's opera-
tion was cut short by colder wea-
ther late yesterday afternoon . .

THE BELL TELEPHONE GIRLS
were the victims of circumstances
today . . . Due to terrific electric
shocks caused by static, they were
Larded to wear rubber gloves in
handling the plugs on the switch-
board . . . And the calls were
getting more and more! .
*
ACCORDING TO MISS HELEN
'Baylor, local representative the
number of calls increases directly
with the intensity of a storm
. . For example, the girls "went
nearly crazy" Thursday last with
no less than 8,108 local calls end
601 long distance calls . . . Hats
off to the Bell girls! . . .

WINTER MEANS NOTHING TO
Clinten skunks—at least so it
seems . . . Usually this rather
unwelcome visitor is, seen very
little in the winter time, but one
of the creatures had the main
street all to itself about 6.30
Monday Morning . . .

WHEN WILLIAM COCHRANE
was reterning from the local
power house, Mr. Skunk crossed
the street from the direction of
Russell Jervis' and got ori the
sidewalk in front of W. L. John-
son and Son's store . . . Mr.
Skunk then ambled right up the
centre of the sidwalk, just as
nicely as you please, until he
came to F. Fingland's office, and
then went in through the vacant
lot between that and the Hydro
office and disappeared . . Need-
less to say, all those who saw
him breathed a little easier when
he left his trail behind him .

Condition Improving .
Former Clinton Boy
Keen i:egret has be.en expressed
by. the 'many friends in Clint,on
over the accident which befell
Donald Ross, 12 -year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Ross, Brock-
ville, former residents of Clin-
ton. However, friends will be
• -delighted to know that latext re-
ports released by the attending
physician, Dr. T. J. Lynch, are
that Donald's condition is excel-
lent and stored be up and about
in a matter of ten or 12 weeks.
Donald, in company with his
elder brother, Ted, was standing
on a snow bank when a city bus
drove by. The weight and jar-
ring motion of the bus caused the
snmybank to collapse and young
Ross slid under the right rear
end of the bus. A scream was
uttered by one of the passengers
of the bus and the vehicle im-
mediately stopped. -
Donald, now a patient in
I Brockville General Hospital, is
suffering from fractures of the
left arm and right leg as well as
a (lisle:eked shoulder and shock.
FriencTh of the family sympa-
thize with them in this misfortune
and extend beet wishes to Donald
and hope for a speedy and oorn-

TOMORROW IS
DEADLINE SET
FOR KIDS NAMES
Deadline for submitting names
and addresses of handicapped
children in Huron County requir-
ing medical or surgical attention
Is tomorrow, Friday, March 10.
The ten Lions Clubs in the
CoUree are conducting the Crip-
pled Children's Survey in co-
operation with the Ontario So-
ciety for Crippled Children and
Huron County Public Health
Unit.
The Clinic will be held at the
County Public Health Unit, Clin-
ton, on May 10.
Here are a few examples of the
71 oases now under supervision
In Huron County:
A nine-year-old girl, born in. a
Prison camp in Poland, received
treatment in Palestine for con-
genital dislocation of both hips.
Her right leg is one -and -a -
quarter inches shorter than the
left. She should be x-rayed from
time to time men she has reach-
ed her full growth, and should
have shoe alterations to prevent
a deformity of spine developing.
A 12 -year-old boy has con-
genital absence of the tibia of
both legs. He wears appliances
enabling him to get to sehool
daily. However, he is becoming
too heavy for these. The doctor
now feels that he is now ready
for amputation. A Lions Club
has sponsored this boy at sum --
mer camp for several years.
A six-year-old girl has been
attending Club Foot Clinic at the
Hospital for Sick Children since
she was three weeks old. When
she was a baby, it was necessary
that she return once a month for
treatment. On her last visit to
the Clinic, the doctor felt it was
net necessary for her to return.
Supervision by the Public Health
Nurse is indicated, due to the
fact that during growth, these
conditions tend to recur.
The above are only a few of
the heartrending cases 'that exist
In Huron County. This Crippled
Children's Survey is designed to
clean up this situation. Individ-
uals and organizations may help
by forwardihg names and
ad-
dresses at once, before Friday;
March AO. to Dr. J. A. Addison,

Community Athletic F i el d
Board (Park Board) for 1950.
CDCI Teacher
Miss Miller
Has Resigned
Roof
Decision to proceed with the
roofing of the grandstand in Com-
munity Park so that it will be
completed in plenty of time for
Old Home Week, was made at
the March meeting of Clinton
Community Athletic. Field Board
(formerly known as the Park
Board) Tuesday evening.
No, contract has yet been sign-
ed, however, although' the mem-
bers were agreed that the work
should be done, with details to be
worked out.
It will be recalled that the
original plans sod specifica'ti'ons
for the grandstand provided for a
roof which was net erected at the
time the main structure was
erected on account of leek of
sufficient funds. These are still
available.
Special Grant ,of $2,500
A deputation from the Board,
which interviewed the proper
authorities at the time of the
Good Roads Convention, was as-
sured of a special pent this year
of $2,500. This sum, together with
a balance from 1949 of about
$500, and one mill on the tax
levy of about $1,500, would place
the Bored in a financial position
able to proceed with the construe -
tion of a roof on the grandstand.
A new wrinkle being consider-
ed is the placing of. the judges'
stand atop the grandstand instead
of across the track, as has been
the ease.
New Secretary -Treasurer
William E. Perdue, was re-
elected chairman of the Beare for
1950, with Clarence J. Livermore,
a member of the Board, as secre-
tary -treasurer. The latter suc-
ceeds J. G. IVIcLae, who has acted

ably for the peat five years dur-

C. TEBBUTT IS
NEW ASSESSOR;
WARBLE BYLAW
Goderich Township C,ouncil
held its regular March meeting in
Holmesville on March 6, with all
members present, Minutes of the
last regular meeting and the sub-
sequent emereent meeting were
read and adopted,
By-law No. 5, a by-law re-
specting the treatment of cattle
for warble flies was given a third
reading, and passed.
It was decided to purchase the
derris powder for the treatment
of warble flies from J. Little, and
also to. hire ,his spraying outfit
for the spraying of those cattle
to be sprayed.
Charles Wilson was hired as
warble fly inspector at the salary
a 50 cents per hour and seven
cents' per mile. It was decided
that the inspector should travel
with the spraying outfit, and
either see the cattle being sorry -
ed or leave the powder for the
owners to hand treat, and inspect
these hand' treated cattle- on an-
other trip. " • •
The Township decided to hire
Mr. Little on e full-time basis of
$4 per hour, and charge the eattle
owners a nominal fee for the
spraying of cattle. Thus, if only
a few decided to spray, the price
probably would be about'13 coats
per head, while if a larger per-
centage sprayed, the price would
be correspondingly lower,and if
100 per cent were obtained, it
was felt that the price of spray-
ing to the individual, would car -
thinly not be over tens cents per
head. The inspector must keep
an account of all the cattle treat-
ed, and the cost will then be ad-
ded to that man's taxes for col-
lection.
The Hartford Insurance Co.
quoted a rate for nn Insurance
Policy to protect the township
from claims, and it was decided
that the Clerk should have this
policy drawn up and presented
at the next meeting, at which
time it would be accepted or
rejected.
Tax Collector H. Sturdy re-
ceived a further extension Of time
for tax collections.
