MINISTERS
AND CHOIRS
EXCHANGE
(By our Hensall correspondent)
Rev. H. C. Wilson end choir of
37 voices from Wesley -Willis
'United Church, . Clinton, took
charge of the morning service at
Hensall United ' Church.
Rev. Mr. Wilson delivered a
challenging message to the large
congregation. The choir was un'
der direction of M. H. Rennie,
with Mrs. Rennie at the organ
console. Miss Doris. Grierson pre-
sided at 'the piano, together with
the organ, for a brief musical
period preceding the service.
For its anthems, the choir rend-
ered in fine voice, "Sing to the
Lord a Glorious Song." Soloists
were Mrs. W. M. Nediger and
Miss Viola Fraser. In ;the an-
them, "What of the Night" the
soloists were Mrs. Nediger and
Robert N. Irwin,
A basket of lovely flowers on
the communion table were in
memory of the late George Gram,
placed there by members of the
family.
Rev. W. J. Rogers and choir
of 32 voices of Hensel United
Church, took charge of the ser-
vice in Wesley -Willis United
Church, Clinton, Sunday morn-
ing in an exchange of ministers
end choirs.
For its contribution the choir
sang "Trust in the Lord" with
S. G, Rennie as soloist. A male
quartette, composed of S. Rennie,
Ronald Meek, Jack Harrison and
James Rawcliffe, rendered, "Just
outside the door". A vocal duett,
"The Pilgrim's Journey", was
sung by Mrs. Hazel McEwen and
Mrs. Lila Broderick.. Miss Gretta
Lamar& was at the organ console
and S. G. Rennie directed the
choir.
Rev. Mr. Rogers delivered an
excellent address, taking his text
from John 9:4: "I must work
the works of him that sent me,
while it is day: the night cometh
when no man can work."
The minister stressed the urg-
ency indicated in this statement
of Jesus, showing the tension in
His soul. "If you take the ten-
sion out of Iife, what is there
left?" he inquired.
"We, in Canada, are too much
concerned about living," Mr.
Rogers declared. "We are too
prone to demand security when
we should be accepting the chal-
lenge of Christ. The Christian
religion is ,much mare impatient
than social security."

Award
Contract
For Well
Hugh R. Hawkins, chairmen,
Clinton Public Utilities Commis-
sion, announced today that the
Commission had awarded a con-
tract for the drilling of a new
well and installation of a pump,
to E. F. Roberts Company, Breast -
ford, at a price of $20,800. It was
the only tender submitted:
In addition, a building for the
well will cost about $500, and
the necessary Waterman, about
$500.
Location of the new well will
be on the town. property beside
the old pond, at the entrance to
Community Park, Work will
Commence within two or three
weeks.
The new well will be about
356 feet in depth, with a diameter
of 12 inches.
Two wells have been supply-
ing the demand for water in
Clinton and at the RCAF Station,
the letter taking 225 gallons per
minute. One existing well has a
capacity of 550 gallons per min-
ute and the other 165 gallons per
minute, a present total of 715
gallons per minute.
It is hoped' that the new well
will increase the output by an-
other 550 gallons per minute.
In order that a power failure
would int interfere with the
pumping of water for the needs
of the community, provision is
being made for the use of diesel
power,
'Clinton Town Council recently
authorized the issuing of debent-
ures for $20,000 to cover the cost
of the new well, and permission
is being sought from the Ontario
Municipal Board' this week. Any
cost in excess of this audiorized
amount will be borne out of sur-
plus currently in the hands of
the Public Utilities Commisson.
Reviewing the recent fire which
did considerable damage to the
building and equipment, the
Commission has' decided to in-
crease the insurance on the build-
ing end contents from $7,000 to
$15,000.
Clinton is on the verge of a
spring building boom that may
last right through the year.
Gordon M. Ritchie, of Ritchie
Construction Co., London, has
purchased two 66 -foot lots on
Mill St., from Ald. Melvin Crich
and plans to erect two houses
thereon. Excavation already has
been made,
lit is reliably stated that Mr.
Ritchie's intention may go as high
as 25 houses this year on lots
scattered throughout town.
Erection of such a number of
houses would help to ease the
housing problem, which still seems
as serious as ever. Dwellings,
one -and -a -half storey high, with
basements, are contemplated.
Twenty-five of the 50 wartime
houses, erected in Clinton three
years ago, have been sold.
The Ritchie firm previously
has erected blocks of houses at
Seaforth and also in the Adastral
Park development at Clinton
RCAF Station.
