Through With Warnings
According to Traffic Constable
Norman Lever of Huron County the
magistrates in the various centres
are going to be a lot busier and the
county coffers enriched considerably
unless the attitude of motorists
changes overnight. • -
Constable Lever stated that traffic
officers are really going to clamp
down on one -eyed drivers anti flare -
less trucks and from now on there
will be no warnings. Said Constable
Lever, "We've warned and warned
these people but still they presist in
driving with one light or without a
tail -light. and In the case of trucks,
without Elates.' Weil, the warnings
from now on will appear before the
magistrate". •
Constable Lever explained that no
matter what size of truck is 00 the
road, from the smallest to the larg-
est, as long as it bears a "C" license,
it will have to be equipped with flares
according to the demands set forth
Int the Ontario Department of High-
ways.
As far as cars are oonceryted, if
they are found without a tel light or
with ono headlight they will have to
plead their case in coma.
RED SHIELD
The R,S.W.A. of Clinton is really
a thriving concern. The 17 members

and the income from the autographed
quilt contributed to their acclamation.
But it was also realized that the suc-
cessful supper was wholly the result
of kind hearty co-op)eration given by
the friends of the Red Shield. They
are extended many thanks for their
cheerful donations of food and, table
accessories,

marked the 100th anniversary of its
founding, When a centennary celebra-
ion was held. The school is on the

George Wilson acted as chairman.

gave a very interesting historical ac-
count of the school and its teachers,
interspersed with some amusing in-
cidents of the pioneer days,
The first log school house, he re-
marked, was built in 1854. It was
destroyed by fire in 1858, and a new
brick one was erected. While it was
being built school was held in Mr,
Gull's house west of the scheol. It
was soon found that this building was
not large enough for the 75 children
who attended during the winter, and
S. No. 10, Stanley

The present school house was erected
in 1922.

school booki used in the early days
