Results of the election were as follows; President, Shirley Kay; vice-president, Alice Rumball; sec- retary, Pat Grigg; treasurer, Mary Brown; registrar, Jean .Colquhoun; bulletin editor, Betty Stanley. o— Increased Hay Seeding Reported in the County "Seeding, which has become quite general in the county was brought to a standstill by a light snowfall accornpanied by rain the middle of last week," G. W. Mont- gomery, agricultural represent- ative for Huron County, reports. "Quite a number of farmers, par- ticularly in the south end of the county, report that they have fin- ished seeding of the spring cereal grains. There is still quite a de- mand, particularly in the north end of the county for registered and commercial cereal grain seed. It is pleasing to note that the lowered price of grains and clover seeds has interested many more county farmers in seeding more hay pasture and long term pasture mixtures. "The warble fly spray campaign which is being carried on in all 16 townships of the county again this year is now well under way and it would appear that each year this programme is operating much more efficiently and effect- ively. "There is an increased interest and enrolment in 4-H Club work in the county, particularly in beef and dairy calf clubs. "The climax of the Junior Far- mers' • programme, the annual et- hane, held in Seaforth this week was well attended and well pat, ronized." Joseph Ferrand Ihaa been re -hired as Clinton'% Chief of rolueo, -following considerable discussion in•the Last weeks, and a great deal of planning by the Police Committee of the Town Connell.. Work- ing with him on the three-man police force will be the now Acting Chief of Pollee, Conistable John IYieNushol, and Constable Ralph D. Chisholm, Exeter. Shown here are the members of the police feorninittee: Councillor D, M. Pegg, Mayor W. J, I,ltiller, Chairman M. J, Agnew and Reeve J. W.

Pegg, was passed that council Com,,, Two Motor Vehiclesretain the services of Joseph Ferrand • as Police Chief for the Town of Clinton, his duties to commence as soon as possible. Councillor Agnew requested the opinion of the members of the council concerning this re- engagement, and all members approved. Since the set-up of the Clinton police force called for a three-man force, the police committee had advertised in two Toronto dailies and in the Lon- don Free Press for a man to ser- ve as night constable. Immed- iate replies were requested. Mayor Miller: The police com- mittee has given this matter a thorough study. We had a long session last night. I feel that the police cruiser will go a long way toward insuring proper po- lice protection. I would like to thank the committee for the wort they have done. Agnew: trio were in harmonius argument if nbt agreelleent. Dur- ing our discussions various ideas were brought forward. I would ,ask' the members of the com- ;mittee to express themselves on the matter. Councillor Pegg; I'm pleased 'with the results. I'm glad to be able to report that Mr. Ferrand accepted the appointment, and am confident that under the com- mittee the force will be restored tp efficient operation. The three hien with a cruiser should make a good arrangement. Consider- able thought went into the plans, and we hope that this will be a permanent basis for good sound police protection. The police area covers a good wide populat- ion .on both town and RCAF station. Reeve Nediger: I ant very pleased to be able to get Mr. Ferrand back. At the meeting at which Mr. Ferrand's resignation was brought in, several of the ratepayers expressed regret at losing hind. At the time council hired the new chief it was felt that he was a good man for the job but it has not turned out that way. Would suggest that any complaints about the force or its service should be written and handed to the chairman of the police committee. There has been too much needling of the police in the past, which made it hard for them to carry on, Rope this set-up turns out better Agnew thanked the council for their expressions of confid- ence. "If in meetings discussing the problem I've said anything I'm sorry for, I'm glad of it." Deputy Reeve' Crich thanked the committee for its work. This was a big job. The public de- manded protection. The only way was to add another man and a cruiser. Do hope the public will be satisfied. Agnew. We had discussed gett- ing in the provincials. To do this a by-law would have to be pass- ed, and there was no assurance that assistance from the provinc- ial force would be available in the near future. A staff of a corporal and three constables would be required and the cost would be well over $14,000 per year. We assure the press that we can operate at much less Bost and we believe as efficient- ly. Councillor Burt Stanley: What about division of gas and oil Cattle Rustling Fund' Authorized By Council Agriculture Committee At a meeting of the agricultural committee of Huron County Coun- cil, associated with the Beef Pro. ducers' Association of Huron, held in Clinton town hall recently, a resolution to set up a fund to be used in apprehending and dealing with cattle rustling in the county was uanimous]y carried. R. H. Graham,, assistant live - Stock commissioner of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, was present and addressed the meet trig, emphasizing the necessity tor owners of live stock to be able to identify every animal in their pos• session, and of branding all Stock owned, in accordance with the Branding Act of Ontario.

He said that ability to identify stolen goods of any kind in court was absolutely essential. As helps to the police force, Sgt. McGillivary said that farmers should report all rustling as soon as possible to give the police a better opportunity of searching for the culprit, Even the reporting or suspicious looking or strange trucks .in their neighbourhood, especially during the hours of darkness, might he of great value, He also stated that if the police Wore notified, it was only a mat- ter of minutes before a whole area of police would be on the watch owing to modern radio methods, G.

Reeve Agnew: With one ex- ception, one type only of oil should be purchased. Stanley: The town shouldbuy its oil wholesale. That would be the economical -'way to do it. Reeve Nediger. I don't know.

Postill and a companion, Alex Wilson, Clinton, were proceeding south on the highway on their motorcycles, when a car, motoring in the same direction, in pulling out to pass the pair, clipped the Postill motorcycle, Wilson's ma- chine was not touched by the impact, The car driver failed to stop and is reported to have turned off the car lights and continued south. Dr, Walter A. Oakes, Clinton, was called and had the injured man rushed by RCAF Station am- bulance to hospital It is believed that the youth's injuries are prob- ably not serious, although he will be hospitalized for some time. Constable C. J. Parkinson, of the Goderich detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, said that a 20 -year-old Huron County youth was arrested Monday, was lodged in the county gaol in Gode- rich, and has since been released on bale. a W.

At a combined meeting of the members of Clinton Council and Clinton Public Utilities Commis-. sion held in Clinton town hall on Monday evening it was decided that in order to meet increased expense incurred by the sewerage system, that it was necessary to Charge a flat rate sewer service rental to all consumers, Clerk L. Douglas Holland will be asked to examine carefully the different types of service being received, and to prepare a scale of rates applicable to the various services, This schedule will be brought be- fore the next council -meeting, probably on May 11, for ,the ap- proval of that body, . ' This move on the part of the C unci o 1, was made necessary when, earlier this year, the fact that. maintenance costs of the system were much higher than ex- pected was noted. When the by- law was set up originally it was figured that maintenance costs would be only $2,000. In 1952, they actually were $6,000. In view of the fact that the by- law allows for the sewerage sys- tem paying off its own debentures and at the rate of $14,000 a year; and that as each year goes by the system is capable of paying off even less of that figure (last year they turned over to the town a little over $7,000), some new ar- rangement had to be made, (The debenture payment had to be made and if the sewerage revenue did not cover it the balance was made up out ofeneral taxation). Brock Monteith of the auditing firm of Monteith and Monteith, Stratford, attended the meeting to advise from his experience what plans could be followed. He out- lined the need for more revenue from the sewerage system and suggested that the money could come either from taxation or by a rental fee. He mentioned the custom in other centres of acting upon the local improvement act, but felt that in the case of Clin- ton, where this was not used at the initial installation of the sew- erage system, new property own- ers would sense discrimination, Councillor Agnew: May we level a special rate for maintenance? Monteith: Yes. Clerk L. D. Holland was asked for a report on the delegation that went to Toronto recently to con- sult representatives of the Muni- cipal Board. (This report has al- ready been published), Monteith: (referring to the sug- gestion made by the Municipal Board that new laterals should be paid for by the property owner). 'Owners may feel that this is a penalty. You would not want to discourage building, Reeve J. W. Nediger: Of course the other owners have been pay- ing into the system for six years. Deputy Reeve Mel Crich: What is the average cost for installing a lateral? Chairman of the PUC, Hugh R. Hawkins: $3,50 per foot. Commissioner W, E. Perdue: Approximately $85. Hawkins: Take for instance these new houses. You can expect quite a revenue from assessment and sewerage rentals there. Agnew: Will we be continuing these rentals for 20 years? After the 20 years are up, though, we still have to pay for maintenance. Perdue: Doesn't the by-law say that two thirds of the water rate is for operating and maintenance? Councillor D. M. Pegg read the provision of the by-law which stated that two thirds of the costs of operating and maintenance shall be raised by sewerage rent- als. Mr. Pegg suggested that the maintenance expense was the big (Continued on Page .Ten) C. of C.
