OF EDUCATION FOR CLINTON? (Continued from page 1) able to make any contribution to the work of such Board, Equally, it is not desirable to have anyone on the Collegiate Board, who has not a thee- ough knowledge of the work and functions of a Collegiate Institute,. We believe that under a Board of Education system, in a town. like Clinton, that many desirable persons would not be available for this wont. There are many people in . Clinton holding responsible positions, and who have had the advantage of a secondary education, who are'employ -- ed in Government offices or by pri- vate corporations and who are not allowed by the Institutions for which they work to enter ' an election ' con test, but who may accept' a seat on an appointed Board. Under Board of Education systems, whereby members areelected, these people would not be available for this important work. It must also be 'remembered that the Collegiate Institute in Clinton does not serve the town alone, but also serves the. surrounding commun- ity, It is, therefore, most desirable that care be taken in the selection of the members for the Board which shall have the government thereof. It is always easier to get an outstanding person to take an appointerd position than it is to get him to contest an election for that position. It must also be remembered that the Clinton Collegiate Institute competes for pupils, with other High Schools and Collegiate Institutes in the County o: Huron. Therefore, it is 'important that a high standard is maintained. For remember that the cost of op- erating this school is divided between the Town and County in proportion to the number of Town and County pupils in attendance. Maybe a Board 92 Years Old on Monday David Cantelon Clinton's grand old man, David Cantelon, reaches: another milestone on Monday. That day he will be 92 years of age although one would take him for a much younger man. He attends to business every day and is the best known Iive stock dealer In the county. Mr. Cantelon does not devote all his time to work. In the evenings one can usually find him at home with a Chinese Checker Board. There are few who can beat hint at his fav- orite game. Ile is frequently seen on 'the street, conversing intelligently on municipal and world affairs. No special activities have been planned for his 92nd birthday. Mr. Cantelon will welcome all old friends who care to call. Other than that it will be just another day. The News - Record extends congratulations. CLINTON RIFLE CLUB R. +TAINS ONTARIO CH'AMPIONSIIIp Shooting its way to the .22 Sport- ing Rifle Championship of Canada in the largest rifle match ever held in this country, the Clinton Rifle Club retained its 'Ontario provincial title in the first.round of the third annual Dominion Marksmen .22 Sporting Rifle Championship Competition. The =Clinton -marksmen suece'ss±ulIy defended the Ontario shooting title against 40' 'other Ontario :five -man teams and will compete next month against the eight other provincial titleholders for the Dominion Marks- men Gballeege Shield and the nation- al title, it was announced from the headquarters of the Dominion Marks- men. organization. Competing in •the nation-wide rifle tournament with some 150 other teams representing all sections of the Dominion, the Clinton. shooters staged a closely fought and thrilling llaN'ldnrinu,'te battle for the Ontario crown against the Ryerson Press Rifle Club of Toronto. Both Ontario squads posted a perfect score of 1500 out of 1500 points, but the Clinton shooters were awarded, an. X -ring decision over the Toronto team after having placed the higher number of shots within the rarely used X -ring within the bull's eye. The Clinton team scored 131 X -ring shots in the inner bull's eye, measuring approx- imately one-half inch in' diameter, while the Toronto club made only 80. Third place in the Ontario, section. was won by a team from the Sarnia. Collegiate and Technical School while a three cornered duel featured the fight for fourth place. The personnel and individual scores of the Ontario titleholders from Clin- ton, who competes' with snore than a of Education would be able to main- • • thousand other Canadian shooters, tain. the' high ratio' of County pupils AMONG THE CHURCHES were as follows: Elwood Epps 300x to Town pupils which now exists, but 300; E.

Not only is there . a favorable . ratio of County pupils to 'Town pupils -but the exam- ination results of the Clinton Col - of years have been away above the average of the examination results for the whole Province. This also is a most important consideration to anyone Who may have children in at- tendance at this School. It costs a considerable sum: to send a boy or girl t a Collegiate Institute for one year; If such boy or girl, because of inferior teaching or school man- agement has to repeat a year, it is surely' false economy to have either an inferior staff or inferior manage- ment. Boards of Education may be alright in theory. They may function well in larger centres where there are many more representative citizens willing and able to act In civic mat - tors. But we believe for Clinton that two Boards give the ratepayers better and more economical, service. No can it properly be said that the present system is undemocratic for not once in many years is there any com- petition for a seat on the Publie School. Board, If there is an election, members might just as well, or may better, be appointed than under a System whereby anyone who offers himself for the job does not, in any, e\f?nt, meet any opposition. Taking all these matters, therefore, into consideration, we believe that the ratepayers of this town would be do- ing a public service as well as sere-: ing their own ends by voting against a Board of Education. for Clinton..
