Wear Fur Coats As it was very cold when they left Eire, having rained steadily for two weeks, several of the female members of the' party ar- rived in Clinton wearing fur coats and fur boots. They were greeted' by temperatures in the nineties. The group consists of Cornelius Quirke, Charles Foley, Dennis O'Sullivan, Jerry Cunneen, and Misses Betty O'Leary, Mary Fenny, Mary Spriggs, Mary Healy and Hannah Quirke.

Two Road Deputations From Clinton Council Now 248, Up Ten P C Public, 'Sin -014r jump Drought of Month Broken at Last The gentle sound of rain falling on the roof tops was sweet music to the ears of resi- dents of Clinton and district during last night, for, with it, drought lasting a good month was .broken. True, there were minor showers during Monday night • and Tuesday afternoon, • but there was no real steady rain until last' night. Although many garden crops have been more or less ruined or,their production greatly cur- tailed through the long dry spell, others will benefit greatly from the rainfall. It will be a great help especially to dried - out ' pastures, and should have a' favorable affect on milk pro- duction which has been report- ed as diminishing of late. 25 More to Come' H.' H. Harriss, proprietor of Cliriton Hosiery. Mills Limited, flew -to Ireland and selected the group personally. They all were employees of the Wolsey mill, the largest hosiery mill in Ireland, situated in the City of Cork, which has a population of . about 100,000. He stated that about 25 others are expected here about September 25. The nine have taken up resi- dence locally with Mrs. W. J.

Agnew threw a bomb- shell into an otherwise quiet Council meeting Tuesday even- ing when he stated that he had it "on good authority that the Department of Highways has no programme to lay one square inch of paving in the Town of Clinton," Mayor A. J. McMurray said he didn't know where Aid, Agnew got his information, but he (the Mayor) had been in touch with the Department engineers that day, and the matter had been approved by them and sent on to Patterson,and a couple o members of Council, as a depu- tation to Toronto. • Ald. O. L. Paisley recalled that Council, at last week's' special meeting, had said it was riot pre- pared to go ahead and pay for the extra surfacing. He took it that the Department would go ahead with its programme for 20 feet as planned. Reeve Nott said he had tried to have an interview with Mr. Doucett on Friday last, but the Minister was away. He also had seen Mr. Pryde who said he would do anything he could do. He urged that something be done right away. Ald. Mel Crich favored a depu- tation right away to include Mr. Pryde arid representatives of Council. He said Blyth had got the paving done, sidewalk to sidewalk, and also Exeter. Ald. R. Y. Hattin agreed. Plan Poor County Reeve Nott outlined a plan that should be put before the County Roads Commission. He had talked. it over with Reeve B. W. Tuckey of Exeter, and the latter had fav- ored a joint deputation to the Roads Commission. There was no use. sending a deputation to To- ronto before meeting the County. The Reeve thought it was in order to send a letter of apprecia- tion to the County Roads Com- mission for the paving just com- pleted on King Street. (This was completed in three days and is now in use.) At this point, Council passed a motion by Ald. John W. Nedi- ger and Ald. Crich that the depu- tation be sent to interview both. the County Roads Commission and the Minister of Highways. Mayor McMurray said he hop- ed that no one thought there had been any slackness in the ar- rangements so far, and . he out- lined the steps that had been taken so far. The approval from the district engineers of the De- partment of Highways at Strat- ford had been; sent to '.Toronto more then two weeks ago. `To date, the engineers had had no reply; they had' done their part. Several members of Council that ' ed lieu ' e be t ui they q said that everything had been done could have been done and that 'tier of the err there was n Mayor's part in the matter, It had just come to the point where more drastic action needed to be taken at once.

In an interview with The NEWS -RECORD, Miss McEwen stated' that the school system in' England is in process of being •re -organized, having been badly' disrupted by bombing and evac- uation during the war, when much equipment, books and schools were destroyed.

Hodgins, the people of Bay- field were given an opportunity to attend a Travelogue in the Town Hall on Thursday evening last. D. B. Strudley, Stratford, set up, his lantern in the Town Hall. Prof. Hodgins gave a very con- cise and interesting history of Jamaica and then explained coloured pictures taken by Dr. C. MacNeil, Cleveland, Ohio, of a trip to Montigeo Bay, Jamaica. These included some very inter- esting cloud formations, aerial views and tropical scenery. Also very beautiful were the scenes of blossom time taken in the parks and near the lake in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Strudley commented onthe views he had taken about King- ston, Jamaica, and introduced one to the fruits, local characters, and dairy farming on the Island. His views of stormy weather on Lake Huron, convinced one that our scenery, though not of a tropical nature, holds its place with the best. At the close, Lucy Woods, on behalf of . the Pioneer Park As- sociation, for whose benefit the affair was given, moved a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Strudley, Dr. MacNeil and Prof. Hoddgins_ for their kindness in making pos- sible s sible the evening which', was most. enjoyable and educational.

DRY PASTURES MEAN LOWER MILK SUPPLY Dry pastures are having an adverse affect on milk produc- tion, according to a statement issued to -day by R. Gordon Ben- nett, agricultural representative for Huron County. "Weanling pigs are very much in demand, but the supply is quite limited," Mr. Bennett stated. "Some choice lots of beef cattle have been marketed at very good prices. Beef producers, however, have made very little move, as yet, regarding the purchase of feeders for this winter." Dry weather still persists all over the County, despite some rainfall this week, Mr. Bennett reported, Bean growers feel t the crop has been affected at least 25 per cent by the recent hot spell. Corn and aftermath pas- ture would benefit from , some good rains. "The turnip crop is progres- sing favourably, with a number of early patches already mar ed," he said; 'Considerable bean pulling has been done, and, in -been have b cases, y some beans b threshed.
