Temperance Speaker
Addresses School Pupils
Rev. Albert Johnson, Toronto,
educational secretary, Ontario Temp-
erance Federation, addressed teachers
and pupils of Clinton Collegiate In-
stitute Monday afternoon, illustrat-
ing his remarks with a motion picture
film entitled, "The Brain Counts."
After hearing a full report from
the consulting engineers on the pres-
ent status of the proposed sewerage
system and sewage treatment plant,
Clinton Town Council, at its meeting
Monday night, passed the following
resolution:
"That Council secure informa-
tion asked in letter from Arm
strong, Anderson and Co., and
authorize them to proceed With
final engineering plans in.aecord-
ante with contract agreement."
Conn. N. W. Trewartha as1ied if
they were not ready to call tenders.
Coun. A. J. McMurray suggested
,that the consulting engineer, R. V.
Anderson, be . asked to come to Clin-
ton and discuss the matter with the
Council, contending that he should be
on the ground.
A motion to this effect was passed.
Report of Engineers
In their letter, the engineers stated
that only 12 per cent of 93 test holes,
showed a really bad condition, 'con-
trary to local reports.
The report was as follows:
"In my opinion, the most important
consideration is to make certain that
you will be able to obtain materials
for next year, such as sewer tile and
sewage treatment plant equipment.
At the present time there is a decided
shortage in these items.
"The situation will tend to get
worse instead of better, due to back-
log of work of this kind already ex-
istingand anticipated construction.
boom beginning in 1946.
"Accordingly we recommend that
the Town Council place an order for
all necessary material, preferably be-
fore the end of the present year. We
believe that no financial agreements
would be necessary to do this, since
payment would not be required until
after delivery, and you would specify
date of delivery as commencing in
April 1946, and with dates on various
quantities required hereafter xegulete
ed to" coincide: "with"the coniatruction
schedule,
"The labour situation for this type
of work, although very acute at the
present time, will probably be some-
what easier next year and it wood not
be so necessary to call for tenders
in 1945. In fact, you might get a
better price from the labour stand-
point
tandpoint if tenders are based on 1946
conditions, but you will not get a bet-
ter price on material than exists at
the present time.
"In any ease, in order to call for
quotations on material, or to call for
tenders for construction, it will be
necessary for us to proceed at once
with the final construction drawings
and specifications. . This will take
some little time, between one and two
months, at least, so nothing more than
months at least, so nothing more can
lbe done until the detailed engineering
work has been completed.
"We assume from the progress made
so far, that it is the wish of Council
to start construction on the sewerage
system and 'sewage treatment plant
as early as possible in 1946. We would
a.onreciate confirmation from you to
this effect and also your authoriza-
tion
uthorization for us to proceed with the final
engineering plans on the basis of ve
per cent fee of the total cost of con-
struction less the $475 alreadyex-
pended for the preliminary report."

Are .Initiated
In Ceremony
The Hallowe'en party of Clinton
Collegiate Institute was: an outstand-
ing success. The initiation this year
was held in the gym. The freshies
were put through the "third degree"
by Don Miller,s ghost; dean Nediger,
Bill .Hearn,.. ;Bi�i „111ittsthexvs, "Ping"
CoitjuTa m, 'At' 'Kenscdy,' Bob Allan;
Jean McIntyre, '.Phyllis McBride
Margaret Colquhoun, Bob Miller and
Mary Lane.
But the agony did not end with the
ceremonies in the gym, For the re-
mainder of the evening, the fresh
had their faces plastered with lipstick
and cold cream. The boys have to
wear huge red bows for a week and
the girls one gaudy orange stocking
and one ,brilliant green one.
The program was presented to a
record crowd in the auditorium. Miss
Barbara. Brown's decorating commit-
tee created a suitable "spooky" Hal-
lowe'en atmosphere with witches,
owls, ghosts, bats, black cats and
corn stalks. F. Fingland Jr, presi-
dent of the Students' Council, was presided as chairman of the group,
chairman. with Rev. F. G. Stotesbury,' Bayfield
Bill Freer, Fred Thorndike and treasurer•
Bill Palmer, did a hilarious incitation
of the Andrews Sisters. They were
accompanied at the piano by Marie
Glidden. Next came Fourth Form's
play -"Cavalcade of War." Four
methocis of courtship technique were
ably demonstrated by Corona Wen-
doi'f, Don Haddy, (for the year
1850); Ardyss Inkley, Bill Hearn,
(1890); Jeanne Elliott,. Fred Kirby,
(1910) and Doreen Armstrong, Roger
Garen, (1945).
The ever -popular Fifth iorm.quar-
tet consisting of Bill Robinson, Ross
Dilling, Bill Murray and Stuart 'Mc-
Bride, so pleased the audience with
their, "Did you ever get that feelin'
in the moonlight," that they sang
again, "In the mood." Mary Lane
was at the piano for this number.
The first issue of the school paper
was read by the editor, Mary. Lane.
First form girls complete with hair
inpigtails, lip-sticked faces, and
orange and green stockings, attempt-
ed to sing, "Till the and of time," but
the noisy amusement of the audience
drowned them out. However, they
were given a second chance and sang
the snappy, "Atchison, Topeka and
the Sante Fe."
A saxophone -piano duo with . Willy
Robinson on the sax and Bill Freel
tickling the ivories, enhanced the
evening's entertainment.
Jeanne .Elliott, ,accompanied . by
Ally Lou Thompson vied with Joan
Edwards in singing "Along the.
Navajo Trail."
".God Save' the King" was sung at
the conclusion of the program. The
students and theirfriends lingered
on todance to amplified. recordings.
Lunch was served by Miss Margaret
Ballachey's second ._:•form "kitchen
crew." The studentsleft the school
feeling that this year's Hallowe'en
party was one of the best ever.
