No River Flooding
Expected at Bayfield
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
The fithermen aren't looking
for any flooding ah the river this
year as there is a channel of
open water about twenty feet
wide out to the lake. There was
a email ice jam above the new
bridge on Monday but it broke
and went out quietly.
Tarns Bros. were the only ones
who were liortunate enough to
harvest
a suppiy of ice. It was
of excellent quality, between. 13
and 14 inches thick. They fin-
ished, on February 17, just before
the mild spell put a stop to cut-
ting operations.

DISCUSS FIRE
PROTECTION
Fire protection for three sur-
rounding townships-Hullett, Me-
Killop, and Tuckeramith---was up-
permost in discussion at a special
meeting of Seaforth Town Coun-
cil in Seaforth Monday evening.
All four Councils were well rep-
resented.
It was finally decided that each
township council discuss this mat-
ter at its own meeting. A funnier
meet,ng will he held on Marta
19, when a larger representation
is expected with all municipal-
ities in the area, including Hib-
bert township in. Perth, to be
represented at that meeting,
Ralph Leonard, Onterio deputy
tire marshal, Toronto, was pres-
ent, and explained grants in re-
gard to hire protection. Thirty-
five per cent for the first year
and after that 25 per cent pro-
vided by the province, he said.
He stated that the fire thief must
be appointed by the town coun-
cil. He also said that since 1947
firemen are covered by compen-
sation, on a basis of 75 per cent
on a $3,000 a year salary. This
compensation may be clairned, he
said, directly from the compen-
sation board or from private in-
surance companies. He added
that fire protection in the town-
ships is a worthwhile aim and
gave, several suggestions. He urg-
ed checking of all electrical ,in-
stallations. Townships should
have a flee warden in each school
section so that in case of fire
they will know what protection
and vaunter supply are available.
Dam is Good Protection
He also said a farm pond or
stream dammed up is a good pro-
tection. A pressure system is•
also of value in ease of fire. Even
a good garden hose on hand is
useful, he said.
lh eigh:tdug a fire in the town-
ship, nothing less than 400 Downie
pressure on the hose would be
effective, he asserted.
John Blair, Woodstock, repre-
senting a fire apparatus comp-
any, said that a first rate fire-
fighting four -ton machine with
an 800 -gallon tank, carrying n000
feet of lei inch hose, 145 h.p.
motor, would cost around $15,000,
Dr. E. A. McMaster, mayor, de-
clared that it would, be an ex-
cellent plan if there were a sec-
ond fire -fighting unit in the town
for proteotion of the townships,
but it was up to the townships
to. come to the town council and
ask for it.
"We can't help the townships
until they are willing to help
themselves," he said. "As it now
stands the townships are definit-
ely unprotected,"
The reeves of the townships
spoke, outlining cohdations rn

SAFE DRIVING
STRONGLY URGED
ON LIONS CLUB
Members of Clinton Lions
Club were handed some ver
valuable hints with regard
safe automobile driving by Pro
vinciat Constable Frank Fox

'ng in St. Paul's Parish Hal
Tuesday evening.
Mr. Fox was introduced by
Lorne Brown, with Leonard G
Winter expressing the thanks o
the group. President Hugh R
Hawkins was in the chair. Th
draw was won by W. C. New-
combe.
Illustrating his address with a
number• of actual photographs of
the results of accidents occurring
n Huron County, since October
1948, Constable Fox decried the
act that, although cars are built
o travel much faster than for-
merly, there still is very little
training for drivers. He said
that many drivers really are un-
fit to drive, on account of their
eyes, heart, age, etc. He hien-
loved that he recently had
checked on a man, who was deaf
nd over 80 but still driving a
Ca1•.
Discussing aecidents on the
ighways, Mr. Fox stated that
most of these were caused by
icohoi, lack of sleep, fast dr3v-
ng, and just plain carelessness.
"If you have sons driving, im-
ress 0n •them that a car is a
angerous weapon," Constable
ox emphasized. 'If a boy is
under 25 and loses his licence, it
hard to get It back. The in-
surance companies are loath to
take the risk,"
Other faults he mentioned were
racing, talking from ear to car
while.. driving toegther, iinpr'op-
eriy focussed lights, rear lights
out.
"The men on the right has
the right of way, and it is the
duty of the man 011 the lett to
him have at, but if there is
ny doubt don't take it". Mr.
x warned.
Condemning driving while
drinking, the speaker said it wen
on the increase. There were 1,817
oonvicieons in Ontario last year.
all. entailing mandatory gaol
terms, "If you drink, don't drive;
it you drive, 'don't .flrinkt" is
stfA good advice. He would be
safe in saying that in about half
the accidents he had investigat-
ed, liquor had been a factor.
Mr. Fox warned against stop-
ping on ice hi a hurry a motorist
going too fast on ice' could be
charged with careless driving,

Public School Board Gives
Its Reasons For New School,
This is the third of a series

The Public School Board, for

figure sorne•way of dodging the
issue, but after considering an

come to the conclusion that a
new school was a necessity.
We considered building an an-
nex, on the present building, but
the inspector informed us our

were insufficient for what we
have et present, and he could
not recommend to the Depart

the need warranted a new

to ourselves or to the children,

Grand Bend Village
Without a County
Although the resort community
of Grand Bend will be officially
incorporated as a village on May
14, it is still by no means certain
which totality the new village
will be located in.
In an attempt to throw some
light on this question committees
of Lambton and Huron County
councils plan to meet soon hi.
the Brenner Hotel, Grand Bend.
At present the police village
straddles the county line, but
when it is incorporated, it must
