THOUGH WEATHER THIS
morning is such that not even a
dog would wish to be out, it was
perfect last night for the Greed
Summer Carnival sponsored by
Clinton Kinsmen Club . . . * * *

was the big attraction for • the
people . . And Dr. Ballard's
dog food was the big attraction
for the dogs .
* *
OVER ON LIBRARY PARK, BE-
hind the fountain . which by
the way was gaily sparkling last
night , . . there seemed to be
some sort of skull duggery a-foot
. . And we do mean afoot . . .
This newly formed Kinsmen Club,
with its young and innocent
members, apparently haven't
much to offer in the way of
muscles . . but the head-work * * *
THEY PULLED TOWARDS THE
north, and figured they could get
a bit more leverage if the end of
the rope would stay still . . It
was the work of a moment to
drive a car, wheel over the
twitching end of rope, and it was
a cinch then, to strong-arm the
Lions' tearii into capitulation . . . * • *
OUT OF THE GOODNESS -OF
their innocent little hearts, they
decided in the next contest to
spurn such assistance, and rely
only upon the baseball shoes 'with
their cleats fastened firmly into
the ground . . Then, did the
Lions' team, with Hap "Two-
ton" McAlpine, as anchor man,
prove their dastardly intent . . .
"Two-ton" hooked his heels over
the curb on the south end of Lib-
rary Park, and by straightening
his sturdy self so that he prac-
tically lay .on the roadway he
acted as an immovable rock for
the yearling Kin to tug against .. * * *
TWICE IN A ROW WAS THE
dastardly trick pulled . . Al-
though "Two-ton" was largely
responsible he is not entirely to
blame as he was ably assisted by
Lorne "We won't cheat" Brown,
Dick "Heave-ho" Jacob, and the
others of his team-consequently
the "Kin" went down to defeat , . * * *
HOWEVER, IT GOES WITHOUT
saying that the "Kinsmen" are
eager for revenge and will jump
at any opportunity to redeem
themselves .. . *

EDWARD SOWERBY INJURED;
RUN OVER BY TRACTOR
A young Goderich farmer, El-
mer Sowerby, is confined to God-
erich hospital, suffering from sev-
ere back and internal injuries as a
result of the rear wheel of a trac-
tor going over his abdomen.

the machine on the farm of Harry
Mitchell near Goderich when it
was suddenly thrown into gear,
causing the machine to pass over
him.

ially opened and dedicated in

ed this month, September 1052,

Johnson, architect, and construct-
ed by the T. J. Colborne Con-
struction Co., Toronto, under the

ing superintendent.

itecture of beautiful design, and

Three
Barn
Fires
A large barn belonging to Elgin
Thoznpson, Kippers, was completely
razed by fire this morning. The
barn is on a farm, purchased re-
cently by Mr. Thompson from
Mrs, W. H. Pepper, is on the
second concession Stanley Town-
ship, half a mile south of the Mill
Road. Fire is believed to have
been caused by lightening, as it
followed a severe electrical storm.
Loss of a large quantity of hay-
and grain was complete. A flock
of pullets, housed in the upstairs
section of the barn was also lost.
Pigs, which were' stabled in the
barn were gotten out and were all
saved. Living alone in her ,house, since
the death of her son, William E.
Pepper in March of this year, Mrs.
Pepper sounded the alarm for the
fire, She had finished breakfast,
and ;upon going upstairs to make
up her bed, she stepped into a
west room as was her habit, to
look out the window towards the
barn. Seeing flames, she went
directly to the phone to call help.
Unable to get answer from her
operator, Mrs. Pepper called her
neighbour to the north, Mrs. Jack
Aikenhead, and asked her to get
help.
Members of Brucefield Fire De-
partment in the-village, had, how-
ever seen the smoke, and were at
the fire before the telephone call
came thiough. It was already too
late to do anything to save the
barn as flames raced unchecked
through it. Neighbours came from
miles but .were helpless to save
any part of the bhilding.
Fire, of an unknowe origin de-
stroyed the `barn of Arnold Rath-
well, Bayfield Road, about 4 miles
from •Clinton yesteeday, (Wednes-
day) at ,noon.
It is understood that Mr. Rath-
well .had. gone in, for dinner and
in a few minutes his wife noticed
smoke arising from the barn, and
verPsoon the building was a mass
of flames.
Clinton Fire Brigade was call-
ed, but on arrival the fire was be-
yond control.
Mr. Rathwell lost his tractor,
which was standing on the gang-
way, several hogs and a number
of calves. Most of the chickens
in their, quarters at,th„.tirrie of the
firearifshed out of the building",
A considerable quantity of hay
and grain were consumed in the
regrettable conflagration.
The large barn owned by Carm-
an Rowcliffe Seaforth, on No. 4
highway and situated south of the
RCAF Station, Clinton, was de-
stroyed by fire of unknown cause
last Sunday evening September
14.
In the barn were a few hogs, a
dog and some 50 chickens which
were consumed in the blaze.
When police arrived on the
scene it is believed almost a thous-
and cars and three London bound
buses were tied up in a traffic
snarl on the Highway.
Hundreds of people seeing the
reflection of the fire at distances
thought at first that some of the
RCAF Station, Clinton buildings
were on fire.
Clinton fire brigade attended
but shortage of water plus the
head start gained by the fire
made all efforts to control the fire
futile.

and appeared to be a great success
with everyone enjoying the fest-
ivities.
Pet Parade and Mutt Show
The carnival commenced with a
pet parade led by the RCAF Sta-
ion Clinton Band. The parade
wended its way through the main
business section and eventually
stopped at the judge's platform
where the pets were adjudicated
and prizes awarded. Dr. Ballard
then took over the program and
entertained everyone with ' his
mutt show. Dogs of all shapes
and sizes were entered. Dr. Bal-
lard grouped the dogs into dif-
ferent classes and they were
judged accordingly much to the
amusement of all spectators.

Successful anniversary services
were conducted morning and
evening in Ontario Street United
Church, Clinton, on Sunday,
September 14, with the minister,
Rev. A. Glen Eagle, )3.A., in
charge.
Rev. A. B. B. Moore
Splendid congregations at 'both
services greeted the guest preach-
er for the day, Rev. A. B. B.
Moore, L,L.D.
Mr. Moore until 1947 was prin-
cipal, of St. Andrew's College,
Saskatoon, Sask., and in 1950 was
appointed president and vice-
chaneellor of Victoria University,
Toronto.
Being a man! of wide exper-
ience, his messages were timely
and practical, without losing the
depth of thought which he drew
from the Scriptural texts chosen
for his sermons.-
In the morning service, Mr.
Moore took his text from the
Epistle to the Colossiatis, chapter
1, verse 28; "Whom we preach,
warning every Man and teach-,
ing every man, in alt wisdom,
that we may present every man
perfect in Chritt Jesus."
"Why the Church?"
His Sermon was an. answer to
the question, Why the church?
and for what purpose does it
exist? The ultimate task of the
church, he -declared, was not for
Many minor purposes with which
it may well be associated, but
the great and glorious task is
for the sake of, and welfare of,
every man, that in life now and
in. that Which is to eorne, he may
be presented perfect, Not in his
own tight, but through the ap-
pointed and only Saviour, Sesus
Christ,
In the evening, the speaker
preached a very thoughtful and
impressive sermon, taking a Vette
from the book of the Psalms,
as his chosen text, "The tool
bath said in his heart, there is
no God". No one ever feels
complimented, said the speaker,
when the term "fool" is applied
to him, yet in scripture he ,de-
clared there are many instances
where a man is described as a
"fool". We have one of them in
our text-this is the man who
says in his heart that there is
no God.
Lip Service Only
Mr. Moore went on to speak
of various types of individuals
who really say the same thing
in their hearts. Some of these
may make a different lip pro-
fession of faith In God but by
their activities of life, really
contradict their profession, and
allly themteIves (with the fool,
The individual who knows bettor
but Who persists in trying "to get
away with the wrong he does',
is really giving expression to a
belief that it does not matter
much what he does, for there is
no God to call him into account
Various other similar types of
people were thrown on the screen
of the congregation's minds, and
the speaker pointed out, that in
each ease, they were treading on
slippery ground, because as he
declared, even though God per•
nits men to Act as if He were
non-existent for a thee, they
were actually their own Worst
enemy, forgetful that God does
not always pay on Saturday night.
The speaker drew the conelth-
sion that men °should, take he
chatiee in disbelieving in a God
end that those who do take that
elan& tiro above all, the "great-
est" of fools, in God'S eyes.
Special Music by the choir,
Solo work, Male quartette and

rendered during both Services to

Bell Mobile Telephone Service
Coming To Clinton District
A new landmark being erected
near Clinton this week will play
a part in bringing mobile tele-
phone service to this region.
C. B. Symonds, Bell Telephone
manager for this region, told The
News-Record that a prefabricated
building which will house equip-
men connected with the service
was placed on a site seven miles
north of Clinton this week.
A steel transmitter-receiver, 150
feet high, 'will be erected beside
the building soon.
The building is off frame con-
struction, eight by 15 feet, has a
flat 'roof and an exterior of asbes-
tos shingles. The transmitter-
receiver is a straight steel mast.
They are being erected in con-
nection with a large-scale expan-
sion of The Bell CompanY's mobile
telephone service which, when
completed, will cover a wide area
of Ontario.
Mobile telephone service permits
exchange of conversation between
vehicles on the road and any tele-
phone, whether mobile or fixed,
which canbe reached in the ord-
inary way through local or long
distance channels.
The service will be made avail-
able in this area and in the Lon-
don, Bracebridge, Huntsville, Pres-
ton, Parry Sound, Omemee, Port
Hope, Hawkesbury, Cornwall, Ot-
tawa, Brockville. Smith's Falls,
Kingston and Belleville areas late
