Here's How to Make It When dusk falls •this even- ing it is to be hoped there are few persons still struggling over the figures on their in- come tax forms. A suggestion that may be of help next year at this time, is that regular advertising throughout the next eight months may sharp- ly reduce the amount that our government will want to de- duct as income tax. One °advertiser who places ads in the Clinton News -Re- cord reported this month that the fifty dollars spent on ad- vertising in 1952 reduced the income bracket the business was in to the extent that in- come tax paid was $100 less. How quick can you make fifty bucks? 0 Clinton Couple Injured In Collision, Sunday ' Mrs. E. R. Rumball is in Clinton Public Hospital, and her husband is nursing a broken hand, as a result of an accident which occur- red just south of Clinton on High-. way 4, on Sunday evening, when the car Mr, Rumball was driving was in head-on collision with, a half -ton truck driven by a London man. The Rumball car was approach- ing Clinton from the South, when the approaching lights of• the truck temporarily dazzled Mr. Rumball. Provincial Police Con- stable C. J. Parkinson, Goderieh, investigated the accident, Both Mr. and Mrs. Rumball have a number of painful bruises. AIthough Mr. Rumball was taken to hospital for x-rays following the accident, he was allowed to go home that same night. Mrs. Rum - ball remains in hospital, and will probably be there for several days, but is progressing well, and is be- lieved to be out of danger. 0 Lions and Their Guests Hear Oil Men Discuss Wells in Huron County Clinton Lions Club had a near - perfect attendance at their dinner meeting Tuesday evening in St. Paul's Parish Hall.

"Let us be careful in giving advice. Are we ready to take advice as readily? Some of the bigger :things in life, like re- ligion that is felt..and acted out in everyday life,- cemeriv° us +'together". She also mentioned prayer.

McLean, M.P., Speaks to Men Discusses UN Achievernents The Men's Club of St. Andrew's Church, under chairman A. F. Cudmore, was host to other church clubs on Friday night, April 24. A company of 60 men gathered to hear at first ,hand, Andrew Y. Mc- Lean, MP, one of the represent- atives of Canada to the United Nations Assembly. After a lively opening sing- song, Mr. McLean was introduced by John Stirling, and for half an hour he held the undivided atten- tion of the men. He introduced his address with a description of United Nations Headquarters and the facilities for conducting com- mittee meetings, as well as the conducting of the whole assembly. Mr. McLean stated that a great deal of the discussion in the As- sembly, resulted from the recom- mendations brought in from the various committees. Russians Remote In the assembly, his seat was next to those occupied. by the representatives from behind the Iron Curtain block, i.e. Russia and her satellites, and though that was so, yet the delegates from those countries kept themselves very remote and had little conimuniea- tion with those of the Western World. This remoteness was car- ried so far, that the Russians• were whisked off to their own ,head- quarters as soon as each session was concluded, The speaker stated that the task of the Assembly was necessarily slow and tedious, but that this might be expected since the dif- ferenees among the 60 nations represented, were so great, in governmi ent, n ideals, in method of approach and in elementary economic 'needs, These several differences caused the formation of "blocks". within the Assembly, which made general agreement d'fficult to teach. Different fangtit+ 'ea Mr. McLean said that in front of every seat was a nilultilele -diets telephnnebywhich with the press. sing of a button, a delegate cksuid A. Il'. Mcl<.EAN, M.P. receive a translation of any speech in any one of five languages he preferred. He stated that although it might be argued that the As- sembly had not accomplished every result desired, yet there had been many difficult problems ad- justed, and he cited several eit- ampies of these with satisfaction. The problem of Kashmir, as one between India and Pakistan Was Mentioned among the problems which .had been greatly ameliorat- ed. The Israel and Arab problem also though not completely tat - tied, had been improved, and it was hoped that with time as a helpingfactor, other uestions Wouldbebrought to a sueeessful termination, His general impression, Was a hopeful one for the Assembly, and h. e belieVed that without it, the world of Matin»s would find it lin* possible to melte much progress in coming to , that point where the March meetingending in, struetion from the Council con. cerning installation of new later., als, were granted. Also granted was a new request from George Cunningham, for service to his property on John Street, between Queen and Shipley Streets, Commissioner W. E. Perdue wished to go on record as being opposed to the granting of per- mission in these cases, since he believed that the principle of supplying capital expenditures out of sewerage rentals revenue was wrong. Mr, Perdue brought forward a request from C. H. Epps for action of the PUC concerning the erec- tion of a pole near his business property so •that he could get telephone service. Upon checking with Jabez Rands, it was discover- ed that work had been progressing towards the completion of the job in that area, and Mr. Rands was instructed to complete the work as soon as possible, Mayor Miller referred to the policy of allowing town services to those who built houses on the edge but just outside of the town limits, as one that encouraged building outside of town. He sug- gested that the answer to this was, of course, annexation of the properties thus served, Commissioner W. E, Perdue agreed with the mayor's sugges- tion,nd made the stateei�.t,-that that lm ed to extending municipal services to distances that would prove quite expensive. The Mayor brought in a Sewer- age by-law which had been passed by Council in 1950, authorizing certain rates be changed, Although the PUC office had several other by-laws on hand concerning the sewerage system, , they had no knowledge of that particular by- law, and requested that they be provided with a copy. Mayor Miller. The Clerk (of the town) was in the office (PUC) requesting certain figures. Is he to get these figures? (This re- quest of the Clerk was to fulfill instructions from Council to pre- pare schedule of rates for sewer- age service charges.) Chairman Hawkins: The clerk was in the office and asked for figures, and the navies of all those persons whose water services were not metered. Said he,wanted them for an investigation. The office suggested that any such request should rest until after the PUC meeting. There is no point in getting the names of those ser- vices not metered, since new meters are being installed all the time, and the list would not re- main accurate for long. Perdue: ;Don't know why he want's the names, tut I do feel tinat the best of co-operation be- tween the office and the clerk should be given. Hawkins: Yes, without co-op- eration we might as well not function. Cameron Proctor (present in the office) was asked just what Clerk Holland had requested, and the letter of request was present- ed to the commissioners. Although the feeling of the Commission ap- peared to be that there was no need for the Clerk to have the names of those who had unmeter- ed services, they did request to see them themselves, and after an inspection and discussion of these services it was felt that meters were expensive to install and the few services on which meters would increase the charge, would not add too much to the revenue of the sewerage rentals. 0 REBEKAH LODGE CONFERS DEGREES ;ON THREE MEMBERS Huron Rebekah Lodge No. 306 held its regular meeting on April 20 with Noble Grand Marion..Tay- lor in the chair.
