LAC Kenneth Williamson, 20, RCAF,, Clinton, faces, two charges -one of common assault on Alvin Sharp, aid another of com- mon assault on William Hoy, Clinton. According to Provincial . Constable Frank Taylor, Clinton, who investig- ated, Sheep 'was backing a car out of the laneway of his home on to the highway, end had started north to- ward town, when another ear pulled in front of him. Two men alighted from the car and attacked Sharp, palace said, 'While the battle was at its height and Sharp was doing his best to cope with his two assailants, Isaac Canter, 84, armed with a cane, arrived on the scene, and commenced to use the cane with telling effect on one of the men who had started to attack him. Hear- ing the shouts, William Hoy, 55, also entered in to the struggle in behalf of Sharp. It is alleged that another car, con- taining two men, came along and took the two attackers away. The licence number was seen, however, and in this way, the owner was traced to RCAF Station.

TGcV . c, Re 1 ARTICLE V The fifth of a series of articles submitted by the' Liaison Committee, •RC411' Station, Clinton, in the interest of good relations between the Station and the Town of Clinton. The NEWS -RECORD is glad to cooperate by providing space for this weekly presentation. PROGRESS It is'nearly a •month since lette appeared in these columns and i the inte>.wening peasiod definite pro gress has been made in the relation- ship between ROAF Station, Clinton and the Town :of Clinton. -..There have been ,definite signs oe co.eper- ation with the result that manly of Ache pieces in the stores have been sealed down to a more even level. It is good. to hear the remarks from both service personnel and civilians that the weekly budget goes further than it slid two months hack and the store keepees are to be commended on their action and attitude to this. It was also very welcome news, to hear that 50 houses are to be built in the town which will go a long way to alleviate the shortage which has existed for such a long time, This area as no .exception for where- ver you may go across the Dominion of : Canada. the same foobor is notice- able (bhe shortage of materials). However, we hope that es time moves on, that will be overcome and we shall see' everyone comfortably sett- led m their lot' err own tie home, In the meamtime, we do hope that if any- one still has accoanodution that they eould offer a service +nen, and his family inceeding eltiddueu,''they wiil do so. After seeing the tnaeetess prairies, it was good:to 4siive u'p' tale 'streets od' Oliantoea ,with it's tall trees eluding er the houses from elle blistering sun, n to .see the crops, although in mane _ case a little kite, .yet nevertheless looking goad eongared with other places in Canada. It made one feel , that here was indeed as reeognased by the emlly, settlers of this commun- ity, a veritable paradise. We have a good high school, e public echoed, ag cod hospital, < l, service l elltibs, -fraternities equal to any other cemniunity in Ontario, and we have i an RCAF Station which .is regarded as the best of lbs killed in the Domin- ion of Canada. As .I listened to the Band concert lit the Park on Sunda night, t I'wasm •a Y more I g' , i convinced than. ever that we have ;talent in the eomnvunity as well.

The petition bore the names of F, W. Andrews Harold Fairservice, Harokl Adams, Ernest Brown, Mrs. 3. B. Cox, and Charles Elliott. After consideeahle discussion, Council came to • the conclusion that it was a matter for the Court of Revision and referred the request to • this body. While the matter was under• dis- cussion, Aid. Brown left his place at the Council circle. He said his taxes were $39 on 50 acres in Clinton, while in Huliett, they were only $23 on 50 acres: Add, M. J. Agnew and Reeve V. D. Falconer maintained Council was not the place to deal ` with the request, Vat the proper place was the Court of Revision. Ald. Mel Oriole Town Clerk ex. T. Covless, and others, favored this course. Mayor A. J. McMurray thought there should be more information, and a further meeting with the prop. erty owners. Ile pointed out that A was not fair to state that .they received "no benefit whatever," as in ease of fire, these property owners would have the same protection as anyone else. He said that sewerage was not a big item, but there was no revenue this wear from sewerage rentals, which might amount to six or seven mills. Aid. Brows said they were not kicking about the assessment on the house and acre et land, bent on the assessment en vacant hum. property. No Dog Bylaw--BBut a Warning Two letters were read from C.
