He said there were great benefits in belonging to the County, of Huron.

DRAPER RCAF CHORUS MAKES BIO HIT , OVER NETWORK The nen* of "Clinton" went over the airwaves from coaat to coast on Christmas Day, when the RCAF Chorus from Clinton Station sang over •the CBC net work from 12.35 pm. to 1 p.m. in a special presentation,' The, Chorus' was under the baton of F/L C. L. Harding, Protestant Chaplain ' at RCAF Station, who has done a yeoman job• in building such a fine group of musicians from the camp personnel. The Chorus gave as its opening number, its theme song, "Stout- hearted Men", followed by "John Peel" and "Holy Ant Thou". The fourth number was "Eriskay Love Lilt" and the fifth, "The Lord's Prayer". The Chorus then went into lighter vein with "Kentucky Babe" and "I Pass by Your Wine dow", The final rendition was the carol, "Come all Ye Faith- ful", with the second verse sung in Latin, as in the original "Adeste Fideles." Able solo voices heard in the broadcast were those of F/O W. tura debt outstanding in various ;list. P. Robertson, tenor, who has departments. It was his opinion that things were coming along quite well in debt retirement and that the worst was over. There was an estimated deficit for 1950 of $1,772, but the fin- ances might wind up with a sur- plus of something like $800, as there was a chance of $2,000 to $2,500 coming in.

Ald, Hartley said he always had had his heart in the work of Council and' would do his best for the citizens, if elected, George (Dr. Elliott) and he would re- main the best of friends, no mat- ter what happened at the polls. Hugh R. Hawkins Hugh 11. Hawkins declared that the Public Utilities Commission had accomplished something in hydro, water, and sewage depart- ments.. In hydro, $47,540.01 was handled this year with a balance of $1,919.14 on hand. "We are fortunate ' in having a superin- tendent that knows his stuff," he said. In 1950 three new trans -a formers were installed ata cost of $17,900, replacing sma)ler ones `' �' �+*+•{++++ �+e a +++* ++9+a c that are to be sold. Mr. Hewkins stated that although the HEPC will pay expenses for the hydro conversion expected in July, 1951, the turnover will Dost Clinton about $50,000 (that is for hydro wnrks and hydro). In the water department $4,- 062.52 will be collected this year from the radar station, which ob- tains water from the town, said Mr. Hawkins; and he suggested a new well for the town. The financing could be arranged from the profit of the RCAF station, without the PUC having to raise its rates. "The sewage plant is very satisfactory," he declared. In reference to the by-law that will be voted on, calling for two more elected members on the PUC, Mr, Hawkins said that an increase in the commission might be an asset,—end .in other ways, not too good, Mr. Hawkins said the financ- ial statement of the Commission would be published in the paper. when the auditors were through P, S. Atkey, nominee for the Commission, spoke briefly, em- phasizing the need of an inform- ed public opinion, He favoured full publicity for the Commis- sion, especially during the con- version year. It was his inten- tion to make a close study of Commission operations during the coming year, J. A. Sutter and Ald. Miller both expressed their intention at running for Deputy Reeve. Aldermen, who, reported for their various committees, were Aid. M. J. Agnew, D. M. Pegg, Wilbert GLiddon, A. Garan. New candidates for Council, who spoke, were L, G. Winter, Harry Corey, Caryl Draper. Public School Board Percy Livermore impressed on the ratepayers that a new public school is definitely needed. "The present school is overcrowded, with two classes being held in basements of nearby churches, end repairs on the 70-year-oacl school would cost at least $2,000. If the ratepayers are willing, in 1952, we can take debentures for 30 years, and, with grants from. the Government, along with the male of the present school, it should cost the taxpayer barely one mill," Others who stroke were Trustee Leslie Ball and Royce S. Mac- aulay, a new candidate. . Course 4, and has left the Sta- tion, for Ottawa; and AC1 R. M.
