NO MORE ICE
Mr. E. Wendotf,:;pile of our 'enter-
prising restaurant•Tkeepers, has just
installed a neve frigd air refrigera-
tor, which will da away 'with the
handlitg,-.ofice �i or.;,, ice cream,. coop
drinks, etc, . The Vent is run by a
small motor in the cellar. It works
on the -same priecipah as the manu-
facture artificial ifcalief •
Ice of skating, a
combination of am,mohla and brine,
and a •ocuple of hours' un weft moria-
ing keeps ;the cabinet- upstairs suffic-
iently geld : during the' twenty-four,
houee. One feature is that it works
automatically, turning• on when heed-
ed 'and off when a "sufficient degree
of cold' has been reached. You can
along in the assurance that your
ice cream is not growing soilt, nor yet
getting too hard to dip out. The cab-
inet is. large enough. to allow of keep-
ing half a dozen kinds of ice cream,
besides setece for -bricks.
The plant, which costs a good deal
of money to install, will be very cone
venient and will do away- with the
handling of ice, sect the inevitable
muss ccotnpanyieg its use. not to
mention the work it involved.
AN EMINENT ARTIST.
;Clinton had over.the week -end a
-rather distinguished visitor in the.
person of Mr. John Vincent, a noted
artist, who,, accompanied by his wife,
Spent the week -end as a guest at

the Atlantic under a: $65,000 cornetist.
sion to paint a family group for a
ieago•millionaire, but was unable to
into that country owing to the
that he had been engaged to
come over to do that work: The
United States is a democratic coun-
try, all right. You cannot go to a
foreign country and hire a roan to dig
a"drain and bring him along with
you. And thesante law applies to
artists. Some -arrangement is being
made, however, as Mr. Vincent ex-
pects to go to Chicago in June to
commence work on the; group. In •the
meantime he has been living in Tor.
onto and has been busy with some
commissions in that City.• '
. The Chicago commission as u t the

HYDRO OFF --BUSINESS ,CPR
Clinton WAS without hydro, with the
'attendant stagnation to business,
front the .middle of the forenoon,
Wednesday, until shortly after day-
light Friday. The power did flash on
and off a time or two .during Thurs-
day night but did not come on to stay
until after seven Friday marking.
A windstorm raged -all Tuesday
eight, .with sleet and snow increasing.
toward Wednesday morning and as a
consequence telegra ih, telephone and
hydro service was badly interfered

but they have been running pretty

Mr. :McBride is ,the architect wiio

.to the- Collegiate Institute several
years ago. and we thought- we'd ask
him what be :heught •ol,.•the sugges
tion that the building be again altered
and added to.:: Mr. McBride is Very

thought,
. •she building as tt stands is con
deemed by -inspectors and does not
conte up to the standard demanded by .
the Department- of Education. Sonie-
thingivile have .to ebe dons, and at,,
• once. When we asked why the build-
ing could not jie remodeled,' Mr. Mc
"Bride called attention to the -fact -that -
-in order to bring it.up:to the standard
demanded as to seed and lighting, for -
the cross lighting- is 'now strongly
condemned, the fl.ont " wall and the
two end'walls would have to be torn
down. This would' leave only the
back wall. Then, as Mr. McBride
pointed out, with a. building whith
has beep up as long as this one has
been, when yarl go to tear it down the'
probability is that the sails, joists and
all timbers would began a state of 'dry
:Tot, more or less, the floors certain-
ly would, have to he replaced, the ceil-
pngs- are not quite high enough and in
order to snake tahem high enough • to
meet requirements tate- roof would
have to be raised... Then, whet you
go about remodeling an old building,
youeniust be prepared when the job ,
is finished to •find ,that there are
many things you would like to have,
had different; if you had had a free
hand- But you must keep in mini].

That is the'rub, and so sure.are the -e.
board that to. try to• remodel the
would ]bo a waste",of money,"
theyschool are' not:ooli'sidering it at all,
If the bylaw• is sustained on Mon-
day the (board -will call for plans and
will study 'them with a view to get -
tint, the best possible building 'fol•
the least outlay. '
Some of those who wish to 'defeat
the`bylaw are making the statement
that a near Collegiate building Will
cost $10‘0,Q00, . The bylaw only calls
.for the raising of .$80,000 and it is
•hoped that this will more than cover
the cost.
Thea it 'must be remembered that
the county takes care of about• forty-.
five, per centaoe this initial cost. Clin.
ton: has to guarantee it but.it conies
back to the town.
• A good secondary school is an asset
to a town like Clinton.- We wish to
keep our growing. families in town.
We wish to attract citizens with
growing famines, They 'ate•:the sort'
of citizens ' which -build up a town.
The very first question asked by the
parents of such fainilies when they
think of changing their places of
abode is about 'school facilities. A:
good school will . help to .build up
Clinton, a poor one will have the 'op-
posite effect.: ..

WILL NOT REMODEL
• COLLEGIATE BUILDING
To the Editor of The News -Record:
Some persons talking,about the by-
law seem to think they are 'voting on
the' quedti on of whether we shall
build a new scheal or remot5tiel the 'old
building. There .is no such alterna-
tive before the pedalo. If the bylaw
is defeated the Board will not -reined
dI or renovate the old :building.
Why? Because the Board has'con-
sulted a number of architeets and not
one of them approves of remodeling
of the
old building.
The Board d wilt
not
o act against nst their e
iert advice;
it will not act on the advice of per-
sons who have no authority in such
matters.
