Today, it Was snowing in Clinton, end the forecast was "cloudy and cool" . . . Already delayed a fortnight, seeding seems to be doomed for another delay . . . To date, the balmy spring weather of other years has been sadly lacking... * * * HOWEVER, THE TOWN ACTH- orities utilized some favourable weather earlier in the week to get some road work done, and • gravel has been placed on most of the back streets in town . . . The new grader also has been busy. ... Sweeping the pavements in the main business section is under way, but today's "winter" halted this clean-up temporarily.. * * * WELL, CLINTON WENT ON daylight saving time Sunday, and, as usual, a few people were late for church . . . Clinton and Blyth • certainly are leading the pack, as mosnother municipalities in OS- tario do not go on "fast" time until this coming Sunday . . Others which are on daylight saving time this week include St. Marys, Norwich, Wellaceburg, Orangeville and Collingwood . . Perhaps we might say that they are among the "more progressive" Municipalities in the Province?... * * OUR INFORMATION — FROM Clinton and St. Marys at least—is that the usual thing is to adopt daylight saving time the last week in April, and that was what the Town Fathers, in these centres, did . Clinton's was decided at the Council meeting on March 6, before much had been said about It . . . The only "catch" is that the last Sunday in April comes on the last day of the month, and that throws every. thing out . . . * a a THERE HAS BEEN A LITTLE inconvenience this week Clinton District Collegiate Insti- tute and Rural Hydro-Eleetric adopted "fast" time, hut Huron County Public Health Unit re- mained on "slow" time for this week, on account of the rural schools being on this time . . However, practically all muni- cipalities in this area will he on daylight saving time next week. . • * * * WHILE SOWING GRASS SEED on the farm of Fred Waisen, Bronson Line, Stanley Township, Ken Scotchmer and Sack Watson found a weather transmitter . . It consisted of a large rubber gas hag, a red parachute, four bat- ' teries, end machinery enclosed in e white plastic case . It was stamped "October 1949, United States Army" , . A number of similar gadgets have been fourib in this district in recent years; their purpose is to gather weather information, and usually have been released from Selfridge Field, Michigan . . e TWO BIG EVENTS ARE COM- ing up at Clinton District Colleg- iate Institute during the next two weeks , . .

The Home Paper with the Newly CDCI and Public School Win at Music Festival SCOUTS, CUBS, PARTICIPATE IN DISTRICT RALLY With about 140 Boy Scouts, Wolf Cubs and their leaders present from five centres in the County, the Spring Church Par- ade of Huron District Scouts and Cribs was held in the United Church, Blyth, Sunday afternoon, the occasion being St. George's Day, and St. George being the patron saint of the Scout Move- ment. . Troops and Packs represented, with approximate numbers, were as fellows: Clinton, 40; Goderich, 25; Brussels, 30; Blyth, 30: Bruce - field, 15. In charge of 1st Clinton "Lions" Troop, Boy Scouts, were r/0 W. J. P. Robertson, Scoutenaster, and F/0 Hugh Patterson and Sgt. Kenneth R. Gallagher, As- sistant Scoutmasters. S. J. Sor- ensen was in charge of Clinton Wolf Cub Pack. Several mem- bers of the local committee also attended. The Parade proceeded from the main corner to the Church, with the Cubs leading, and occupied the front portion of the church. Rev. W. J. Rogers, minister of the church, was in charge of the service, Scout Ken Howse, Blyth, read the Scripture lesson respecting "The Prodigal Son." Cub Master S. J. Sorensen, Clin- ton, led a recitation of the Cubs' "Promise," and Field Commis- sioner H. C. Firth. London, in a repetition of the Scouts "Prom - see, An inspirational address was delivered by Rev. Mr. Rogers. A. Toll, Myth, sang a sold Hymns sung included: "Stand up, stand up for Jesus"; "The Boy Scout Hymn"; and "Onward. Christian Soldiers." Mr. Rogers chose for his sub - jest, "Olympic Games." He ex- plained that these games origin- ated at Olympia, Greece, and they were kept at a very high level, not commercialized as they are to- day, for all the winner than re- ceived was a piece of a sacred olive tree as a reward. "One of the Olympic games," he went on, "wee archery, where the marker watched the marks and checked the score, and often called out the Greek words meaning 'You have missed the marled Mr. Rogers applied the leseon of the Greek ercber to the young boy of today, and said: "No young lad sleets out to be a uverille delinquent. He is just a boy who has missed the mark. "Vultures are flying very low over our civilization today, and will win if we miss the mark, but we must follow the example of St. Paul and 'press toward the prize of the high calling of God n Christ Jesus.' and keep our eyes on Jesus the Master Man." o FIRST WARBLE SPRAY FINISHED AFTER A DELAY "Most areas, which are spray - ng for warbles, have completed their first spray, although it was delayed somewhat because of the recern extremely cold weather, when it was difficult to keep sprayers in operation," R. G. Bennett, Clinton'agricultural representative for Huron County, said today. Some farmers are '-becoming a little concerned over the late spring and a dwindling in the hay supply, and it is hoped that the weather will soon warm up so that pastures might become available before too long, Mr. Bennett stated. Some work was started on the land in higher areas during last week but sthis was interrupted by further wet and cold weather and at week's end, no work was being attempted on the land. A number of farmers are us- ing this spell of backward weath- er, however, to get some eences fixed, where it has dried suf- ficiently to allow this work, and many odd jogs also are being caught up about the farms. Although a eaw farmers are a little concerned about the late spring with regard to hay, sup- plies, a number of truck loads of hay have been geld during the week into other areas. Fall wheat ler the most part looks pretty well. However, in • some areas, there is considerable heav- ing of alfalfa and clovers which might result in a reduced hay crop.

Discusses Parking Problems Parking problems in town were discussed at the monthly meet- ing of Clinton and District Chamber of Commerce, which took the form of a dinner meet- ing in Clinton Grill last night, with President Leslie Ball in the chair. Thomas Pryde, MLA for Hur- on, in the absence through, ill- ness of R. L. Stratton, London, delivered an interesting address in which he urged the elimina- tion of duplications in the var- ious fields of government. He was introduced by the President. and was thanked in behalf of the Chamber by G. R. Foster. • Through R. B. Campbell, chair- man, the Retail Merchants' Com- mittee recommended holding an- other "Clinton Day" which was approved. Several other com- mittee chairmen also,, reported briefly. Mayor Tt, Y. Hattin announced that Town Council was preparing a traffic bylaw to be Passed May 8, and he eppealed for the support of the Chamber of Com- merce in establishing a parking lot in the vacant spate behind the Town Hall. He also pointed out that the proposed bylew would change angle parking on the main streets, and pointed out that some mer- chants' cars were now parked on the main street in front of their places of business. If a parking lot were available, these cars would be parked there, leaving more room for customers' cars. President Hall said the Cham- ber would be glad to cooperate, and referred the matter to the Civic Committee, which will discuss the matter with repre- sentatives of Council. Aid. D. M. Pegg commented that theo had been no serious accidents to slate, but declared "we're riding our luck, gentle- men!" He suggested a campaign by the Chamber designed to have the merchants Bed alternative parking places for their awn cars. R. S. Atkey suggested that trash cans he placed at intervals on the main street; this was re- ferred to the Civic Committee. Clayton Dixon suggested a pub- licity campaign be carried on outside town. Wilbur Martin throught bringing in new indust- ries should be one of the prime motives of a Chamber of Com- merce. In his address, Mr. Pryde said he believed the time was ripe to re -allocate powers at the various levels of government, and urged the elimination of duplications as Bayfield Featured on Ai In Historical Sket-b (By our Hayfield correspondent) Due to ill -health he returned Orb o Miller gave a eery inter- to the Old Country.

Two Missing Girls Located in Clinton Missing from their homes in Peterboro for two days, two girls —one 16 and the other 18—were located in Clinton yesterday by Chief of Police Jack P. Hinch- berger. Police said the girls had left home through a family misunder- standing and had got. as liar as Clinton when their funals gave out. The lather of one of the Pair arrived from Peterboro and took them back home. between the various levels of government. He considered this the number one problem at the moment. The problems confronting gov- ernments today were tremend- ous, Mr. Pryde pointed out, be- cause the people wanted more and more services, all of which cost money and increased taxa- tion. Mr. Pryde referred lo his re- cent trip to Northern Ontario with members of the Legislature, and stated an account of that trip would make a speech in it- self. It was hard to visualize the diyersity of interest fh the Province of Ontario, he said.
