mo effectwhatever on the furry nuis-
ances? : . The other evening, Alex
Cuudanore, chairman of Clinton' Public

the intruder wih a well -•hied shot ..
Here's tate method Mr. Skunk was
using . He would knock on the
funnel' of the bee hive; a bee would
emerge .. , And presto, at would dis-
appear inside Mr. S's open mouth
But this parbicular'skunk has smelled
his last . .

Following (considerable discussion,
Clinton Town Council Monday even-
ing made a grant of $400 to Clinton'
Citizens' Band. Mayor A. I.. Mahar -
ray presided and all members were
present.
Athough the sum of one mill
(91,528) had been provided for in the
estimates brought clown earlier in
the year, it was pointed out that
cotmc:il was ender no compulsion o
grant the entire one mill but could
act as it saw fit. The upshot was
$400, and nothing was decided whe-
ther or not tide wolld be supple-
mented at a later date.
In the discission, town clerk M. T.
Corless said a verbal request had
been made for $400 and he had a,
cheque ready to be signed. The Mayor
said he `thought the matter should'
come before council before the cheque
was issued, The clerk then read the
bylaw passed earlier in the year,
Ald..M. J. Agnew recalled the rea-
son ,for the passing of the by-law
and its reference to the people in. a
plebiscite, as :otherwise, ;a grant
would be illegal. He said that Couneil
could grant up to one mill but may
give any portion of it, and didn't have
to pay it if it didn't want to. He
asked if the Band had honestly lived
up to its agreement with Cornet and
alleged that the Legion and Turf Club
had been asked more than they should
have been. The largest grant •ever.
given previously was $500. He point-
ed out that the Tattoo had been
taken out of town and the Band had
eolioitect donations from the nier.
chants. He :thought 9400 ample.
Alid.:Mel Crich said he had listened
to the Band and believed the leader
was doing a good job and bringing on
younger players. "My :humble opinion
i9 that the people of this town want
us to support this band, perhaps not
up to the fall still," he stated. "I
know we have a good band."
The Mlayor said he didn't think
any member of Council didn't favour
supporting the Band, but he would
not .sign the chec;ue until Council had
discussed it.
Reeve V. D. Falconer 'said the band-
master had canvassed the business
men and then had taken the tattoo
to he Radar :Schoo9. If the Band
needed this money, then Couacil
should live u,p to the agreement, but
let the Band show the facts,
Aid. C. J. Livermore said a depu-
tation had came from the Band and
Council, in a nice way, had more or
less told -them to go ahead. Council
had to carry the Band along, but
there should be a financial sstatement.
Reeve Falconer stated that no
member of Council would not back
the Band, but Council should have
