Those shooting stand in a, booth and they are able- to place their target on a wire reel and turn it -out to the de- sired range without ever leaving the booth. The booth is fitted up with ping-pong tables and when complet- ed will be a veritable sportsmen's in- door paradise for target shooting. It is ,quite building q1 u ldi ' F. highb ng so tnormal that n rn al activi ty can proceed in the building without any Interference from those who may happen to be taking part in the shooting., A remarkable wood carving based on the famous picture, "The Storm," which was painted by Rosa Bonheur, wan displayed. It depicts two horses standing on a hillside, stormy, black clouds showing up in the background. The horses, a black one and a white one are facing each other their necks crossing in a very typical manner. The carving which is a perfect piece of workmanship was. completed by Roy Jambe of the Milverton district. Mr. Epps has other samples of Mr. Jacobs' work. One of thein is a Wes- tern holster belt with shiny, silver cartridge clips. It is fashioned of leather with exquisite tooling on the belt. Buffalo Bill or any of those old Western "gunmen" would have died with envy had they glimpsed this belt. Other work included a Toni Thumb circus, consisting of replicas zsf a circus craved -in -miniature. 'The circus is displayed' in a glass ease. It represents the work of Mr. Jacobs while he was' ill. He carved it for a pastime. Elwood Epps has many peo- ple -come in to his store in Clinton to admire the work of Mr. Jacobs, who is a: farmer in the Milverton district and does this work in Itis spare time.

FALCONER Elected 'Reeve of Clinton Majority of 97 Votes Victor 11 Falconer, . was elected Reeve of Clinton on lyidonday by a majority of 97 votes over Ken, G. Waters. - The voting was not heavy according to the various polls, as 649 voters went to the polls, out of a possible 1,100. When only one slate of municipal •officers is featured in an election very little interest is gen- erated. It takes a full election to bring the voters out to the polls on election day, The candidates were Victor D•. Fal- coner, fuel dealer, counciller in 1940 and 1941; and Ken. G. Waters,auto parts dealer, mayor of Clinton in 1040.. The vote totalled 323 for Fal- coner, to 226 for Waters. The con- test looked very close at the begin- ning but due to the fact that Mr. Waters hasnot been in closer contact with, municipal' matters this past year, accounts for his slower score.
