It is an Indian pony hich its owner, Adelbert Gard- iner, Goderich Township, near Rolmesville, claims is 45 years old . The pony has peen on the farm for nearly half a cent- ury, and Mr. Gardiner recalls the time when it was used to trans- port him and other members of the family to school . , Natural- ly, the pony is not as young - looking now as it once was, for its teeth are gone and it appears pretty frail . .

Clinton Airmen Lose At Dashwood by 8.7 io Clinton RCAF came a cropper at Dashwood Thursday evening last when they dropped a 9-8 Huron -Perth decision to the lowly Dashwood team, a result which seriously affected their chances of making the four -team play-off, The winners got away to a fly- ing start in the early stages, but the Airmen kept plugging away and came within one run of tying it up in the seventh. Dashwood played one of ther best games of the year. Turnbull, with two, was the only Air • Force player to get more than one safe hit.

BROWN . LEAVES HURON FOR VICTORIA. Prior to leaving Huron County, which he has served as Ontario agricultural representative for more than two years, LeRoy G. Brown, gave an interview on bloating of cattle. He left Sat- urday for Lindsay, where he will make bis home as agricultural representative for Victoria County. Ilis successor, R. Gordon Ben- nett, BSA, arrived here Wednes- day, from Glengarry County Where he occupied a similar post. "At this time of the year, when herds are being pastured on the aftermath and - hay meadows, most cattle men have some ex- perience with bloat at one time or another," Mr. Brown said. "This disturbance, which can have serious results if not caught in time, is like a great many other things, preventible with a little care. , "It is usually caused by feed- ing on wet or very young im- mature clover or alfalfa. Thus it is seen that by not pasturing such material, or, if it be neces- sary to pasture: it, by careful watching and not allowing the herd to gorge on it, bloat may largely be prevented. Another system which has been followed with some success is to give the animals a feed of hay before putting them out, or scatter some hay around the field. The ani- mals seem to appreciate the need for the coarser material and will eat some of it from time to time thus preventing the bloat from setting in, "If the bloat does take place, the " first sign is a swelling of the left flank; there are various steps which can be taken to re- lieve it. The administration of two ounces of turpentine in a quart of raw linseed oil is usually quite effective Also used, in place of the turpentine, is for: - mein, which may be given in linseed oil or water. The milk from animals thus treated, should not be used for a few days, as it Will be tainted. It is also very often a good practice to fashion a bit from a piece of wood and fit this in the cow's mouth. This has the effect of aiding belching and thus helps rid the rumen of the excess gas. "In severe eases, which do not respond to the above treatment, it may be necessary to puncture the paunch with a trocar design- ed for the purpose. This is a rather tricky operation and may lead to complications unless properly performed, so if at all possible, a veterinarian should be called upon to perform it. If this is not possible, an experienced herdsman may perform the op- eration. The puncture is made in a spot, on the left side, which is equally distant from the last rib, the hip bone and the back bone. The skin. is cut for about an inch, after which the trocar is thrust in, the sheath being left in as long as the gas is escaping. Following a case of bloat, it is generally advisable to give a dose of. one to one -and - a -half pounds of epsom salts." Five Permits Granted For Construction Here Clinton Town Council, at Mon- day evening's meeting, approved the issuance of five building per- mits as recommended by Building Inspector Grant W. Rath. They were: Canada Packers Limited, frame addition to feed mill, Huron St„ three storeys, 30 by 70 feet, $2,500 M. McAdam, contractor; J. H.

EMPHASIZES JOY KNOWING CHRIST ABOVE is a unique view of the "Vampire" jet-propelled air- craft, which is the latest fighter aircraft of the Royal. Canadian Air Force, Regular and Auxiliary. Several RAF aircraft of this type recently flew the Atlantic and have been putting on ex- % hibitions in all parts of Canada. New aircrew trainees' in the Air Force who are selected to be fighter pilots are scheduled to fly the "Vampire" in the final stages of their training. Board of Health Backed In Sanitary Programme By resolution passed unanim- ously at Tuesday evening's meet- ing, Clinton Town Council went on record as supporting Dr. F. G. Thompson, MOH, and the Local Board of Health "in any action that the Board might take in its efforts in the interests of sanitat- ion in the Town of Clinton." Dr, Thompson wrote Council, enclosing a petition signed by 40 persons, with notarial certificat- ion attached thereto, The petition appealed to the Medical Officer of Health "to investigate and eliminate the most undesirable odours" said to emanate from a poultry plant located in the southern section of the town. In his letter Dr. Thompson pointed out that the odour comes not only from unburied refuse, but . also from the ground after being freshly turned over in order to bury same, the ground having become saturated... The. odour . is also most noticeable .en those nights cf heavy dew or light rain, any dampness seeing to stimulate same. "Needless for me to say, the population and homes in this section of Clinton have greatly increased In the past year or two," Dr. Thompson continued. "We see, therefore, no reason why this matter cannot be cured per- manently, not just for a few weeks." Legionnaires Attend Kincardine Drumhead Bannockburn Pipe Band, Varna under the leadership of Watson Webster and with J. E. "Cap" Cook, Clinton, as drum major,cut quite a dash at the huge Canad- ian Legion drumhead service held in Kincardine on Sunday after- noon. It wasn't the only Scottish band in attendance, but was one of the best and most colorful. The Hand accompanied about 35 members of Clinton Branch No. 140, Canadian Legion, who attended the service under com- mand of the president, Dr. H. A. McIntyre. A large bus was utiliz- ed to take most of the members of the party. Hector Kingswell was in charge of the band, and Douglas Thorndike, the colour party. It was the Zone C-1 annual drumhead service. Rev. Capt. Norman Rawson, Hamilton, the main speaker, declared that the future peace of the world depends upon the individual's valuation of his fellowman, the removal of prejudice, and an opportunity for the individual to maintain his dignity and self-respect and to realize -his worth to community, country and the world. Truck Enters Ditch Clinton Man Injured William Fraser Swan, Clinton, suffered a broken hip and severe shock when his truck went into the ditch on King's Highway 8, between Seaforth and Clinton, about midnight Saturday. He was driving his ice and wood truck home after making deliv- eries all day. It is presumed that he fell asleep momentarily, and the truck left the road. The injured man was taken to Victoria Hosp- ital, London. The truck was practically demolished. "Visitors' Day" in Public School • ▪ Recalled By One Who Was There (By C. Mortimer Bezeau, Kitch- ener, formerly of Clinton) Once again the key of memory unlocks the door and raises the curtain of long, long ago; and we find ourself a boy in school- the same schoolhouse attended by the boys and girls of today, though it has grown older, just like some people grow older. But as we view it today in the book of remembrance it is still it is young. Everythingabout y ng• young. The teacher is young. The pupils are very young.

It was "Visitors' Day" and we had just taken our seats when one of the girls entered holding the hand of a little tot dressed in pink. As they walked down the aisle toward the back of the room a hush fell upon the as- sembled students as all eyes were focused upon the young child. "She's as pretty as a picture!" exclaimed a girl across 'the aisle. But no human artist ever convey- ed to canvas a nyt g hin quite so beautiful. No beauty contestant was ever the recipient of so much genuine admiration. During the short session she seemed unaware of the attention she attracted. The months and years rated 1 by and the little girl herself became a student at the school, and passed from room to room; then graduated into active church work, and became a prominent vocalist. During the passing years the beauty of childhood gradually and gracefully blended into a charming personality - a charm AUTOS COLLIDE AT HOLMESVILLE; SEVERAL ESCAPE Head injuries, apparently not serious, were sustained:rev Miss Judy.

Mrs. Bennett, for the time being, will continue to reside in Alexandria, until Mr. Bennett is able to secure of death. This was reported and through the influence of Christ- ian workers he was brought to Christ. After knowing Christ his life was full of joy and peace. To be a Christian means to be done with our old life and to have Christ as our new life. If we have not had this new life, seek for it. "Seek and ye shall find". It is available for all. If. we have had this life take care that we do not lose it again. Neither let it relapse in us. But struggle hard to allow Christ to live in us in all His power and glory, Remember "Christ is our life". The speaker, who is going back to teach at the first Christian. University at Yen Chiang, ex- plained that he had to take some- thing practical back to the Chin- ese because they are a practical people.

The Ontario Department of Highways will undertake the black -top paving of the King's Highways through Clinton most probably starting next month, the members of Clint ie Town Council at their regular meeting Tuesday evening when all mem- bers were present. His Worship said he had writt- en to the Stratford office of the Department of Highways suggest- ing what the corporation would like to have done. The first start would be made on Highway 4, and he had asked if the Department would consider blacking -topping Vinegar Hill as far south as J. P. Manning's gar- age (Princess St), about half a mile. He had asked for a price on 30 feetof paving instead of the usual 20 feet that the Depart- ment lays down. Highway 4, south of the inter- section to the southerly limit of town, would be black -topped. He had asked that Highway 8, from the Royal Bank west one block, should be made 30 feet wide and then 20 feet to Erie St. This applied also to Ontario St. east to the town limits. "The suggestions were very favorably received by the engin- eers at Stratford and Toronto," Mr. McMurray reported. He said, they might consider it advisable to move the plant, now operating north of Exeter, to Clinton, or else they might draw the material here from the present site of the plant. They asked me if we would consider their coming through the main street (to pave it)," the Mayor related. "I said we would have to forget that this year. Reeve G. W. Nott said he had interviewed F. 3. Fownse, Ontar- io Department of Highways, Stratford, and also Hon, George H. Doucett, Minister of Highways re county connecting link through Clinton, and they both seemed favourable to this paving being done this year. The county plant was located near Belmore in the noirth-eastern section of the county, at the present time. Sewerage Financing Prior to the meeting, Councll was in committee of the whole for a considerable period to dis- cuss certain sewerage accounts with Peter Simone and C. Spat - afore of Weston Construction Company Limited, general con- tractors for the sewerage system. No statement was made in open Council as to what had transpired or what results had been achiev- ed. Later, in Council, the Mayor presented some figures on sewer- age costs and financing, and made the proposal that the extra cost, amounting.to perhaps $25,000 all told for extras on account of the new wartime houses, should be financed out of sinking fund sur., plus, providing the approval of Ontario Municipal Board was ob- tained, : - A resolution by Ald. Crich and. Hattin was passed that Caudell approve transfer from the gen- eral account to sewerage account of sufficient funds until such time ' as permission was received from :as Municipal Board to use the surplus in the sinking fund, A motion also was passed that Mayor McMurray represent Coun- cil before the Municipal Board in connection with this matter.
