THI8 WEATHER CERTAINLY
is unpredictable! . . 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 . . .

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.

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

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."

ton, led a recitation of the Cubs'

An inspirational address was
delivered by Rev. Mr. Rogers.

sung included: "Stand up, stand

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

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

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.

C. of C. 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

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

Mrs. Bert Boyes, staged a very
delightful concert before a pack-

Those taking part exhibited
real ability, and the efficiency
of their tutoring was reflected
in the quality of their per-

Most of the competitions af-

day, when the Clinton youngsters
