Water committee, reported that the
firemen had been busy lately and had
done good work. He said some of
the hose needed, repairing and recom-
mended that this 'should be, attended
to. It was left to the committee.
Thetown has over 2000 feet of hose,
1100 of it going out ,on the truck
each time. _
!Councillor Murdock reported for
the cemetery committee, reporting
everything in good shape.
Reeve Elliott reported for the pro-
petty committee and some discus-
sion followed regarding the fact that
sometimes when a key is not just a-
vailable the doer of the storeroom
under the bandstand is broken open
and left that way. The mayor said
two locks had already been purchased
for the door. It was the concensus
of opinion that no one -should have
the key to this room without the con-
sent of the property committee chair-
man and that anyone breaking into
it was committing a mnisdemeanor.
The mayor thought that citizens
might very well give their co-
operation to the council in keeping
drains from being choked with leaves,
so allowing the fall rains to get a-
way without damage or inconven-
ience. He said some citizens did much
useful work in
this way, > gwn
beyond
their own property front . But he
thought all who had a catchbasin near
them might see that it was kept
clear,.

A FINE `SCATCH"
A fine specimen of bass is on ex
hibition in the window of the Fitz
Simons teacher shop today, whi
was caught in the Maitland River. I
measures 19 3-4 inches and weigh
3 1-4 pounds and, this is the interest
ing past of the story, this fish wa
caught by a lady, one of Clinton'
popular young matrons, Mrs. Georg
G. Murdoch. Those of the sterne
sex who fancy themselves as fishermen
should not fail to see this fish. Mr.
R. Walton, who, by the way, must
be some kin to the' immortal Isaak,
says he never saw a better one come
out of that stream except one he
caught several years ago. Certainly
they are not a common "catch."

served by the W. M, S. of the church.
Something over two hundred of the
young .people from the several con-
gregations of the Presbytery gath-
ered for the event and enjoyed the
good things provided for them.
At the conclusion -of the supper
Mrs. Lane, who is secretary of Young
Women's WWrk for :the Presbytery,
called the meeting to,order arid had
the roll called, Mrs. McKenzie calling
the roll of Evening Auxiliaries, Mrs.
Lame that of Mission Circles and
Miss Bailey the C',G•I,T's.After this
response Mrs. Lane introduced the
speaker of the evening, Mrs. Childs,
whogave a very inspiring address on
"The Seeing Eye." Miss Wellwood,
a returned missionaay, was also pre,
sent and was warmly introduced by
Mrs, Lane and told very interestingly
about her work among the young
girls ,of China. ; She said the C. G.'
L T. was becoming quite popular in
China and the girls are very enthue-I
iastic about it. • Both speakers were
listened to with much interest and
attention, Miss Wellwood, whose
birthday it happened` •to be, was
greeted, by a birthday "song."
Song sheets were provided and at
interyais all joined in singing the
songs printed on them, Miss Lane
playing the accomipaniments.
Miss Pearl Woods of ;EMreter and
Miss Viola Fraser .of Clinton each
contributed a pleasing solo diming
the evening,
Rev. W. P. Lane of Goderich in the
unavoidable absence of the pastor•of,
the church, -Rev. F. G, Farrill pro..
pounced the benediction •in closing.
Was. Geay of London, 'Mr. Bowman:,
of Brussels and the candidate,
Mx, Donnelly, who had another
meeting to attend, spoke briefly,
referring to the frtiend'ehip between.
the candidate and :his father, a hce
was a former ,member of parliament„
and whose campaign helper Mr. Spot -
ton had been. aleeulogizedthe can-
didate, declaring that he was eery
useful member' and one whose opin-
ions were always respected. He was,
no blind partisan, he said but sup-
ported the measures he believed to:
be for the good of the country. He,
had, he said, voted against his party'
twenty-one times in the last parlia-
ment.
Mrs.
Gray spoke especially to the,
ladies, being introduced by M r.Bell.-
She called attention to the work done
by the Bennett Government, saying
that it had gone just as far as it
was possible to go in social reform'
without a change in the B.N.A. She-
commended
hecommended the candidate, causing a
bit of merriment, in which the can-
didate joined, by alluding to his
"weight" and influence.
Mr. Bowman of Brussels also spoke
briefly, also commending Me. Spot-
ton's usefulness in the house and his
devotion to the interests of his con-
stituents,
Mr. Spotton, on rising, said he
was afraid he had been spending
too much time outside his own riding
during the election campaign, as he
had bean called to assist in other
ridings. He said he was glad to
come before a Clinton audience as
representative and hoped the connec-
tion would ould be a pleasant one. Before
the redistribution, "it is always a
gerrymander when the other party
does it," he said, "but a redistribu-
tion when we do it." But before that
he did not have either Clinton or
Goderich township. He had been
offered Stanley township, a Conser-
vative township, dropping Grey, a
Liberal township. But he would not
have it. He wanted all his old con-
stituency. And he said he would al-
ways consider his constituents first
when considering any question.
He took up a study of the ques.
tions of the day, saying that while
the opposition criticised the work of
the government it made no construc-
tive suggestions; they criticised the
government because it had not sue.

the United States but it was during'
the nine years that Mr Ring was in
power that the U. S. A. markets
were closed against Canadian ex-
ports. He gave figures to show that
the home market was Canada's best,
