VIOLENCE AND MOB RULE
just don't seem to have a place in
democratic Canada ... Yet, their
existence was brought home to
Clintonians this week ... One of
our citizens, driving for a trans-
port firm trucking goods out of
Windsor, was forced off the road,
just outside of the city ... Luck-
ily, though thrown clear of the
tab, he was not hurt ..

REALLY GOOD BALL GAMES
we're seeing these days up al the
Community Park . These juv-
eniles may not be able to com-
pletely fill the Colts shoes yet .. .
but they promise of better ball to
come , .. and right now they and
their opponents provide the best
entertainment to be had on a sum-
mer's evening .. .
A BIT OF EXCITEMENT IN
Hayfield: "A pair of pet coons
gave the Francis family a lively
time over the weekend . , . The
coons are kept,in a mink pen and
somehow managed to escape while
the family was at church ... Wil-
fred Heard helped one of the boys
retrieve one but the other could
not be found . Next day Lloyd
Francis noticed the dog sniffing
around a hollow tree in the adjoin-
ing Howard lot . . . Sure enough
young Mr. Coon was located in it
. Reg. Francis donned a pair of
leather gloves and with the aid of
a. piece of barbed wire . he
pulled that snarling racoon by the
tail out of his hideout in the hol-
low tree ... Now he is back with
his mate in captivity again.
and quite a domesticated child-
ren's pet once more .. ,
Nearly 400 persons visited the
flower show sponsored by the
Clinton Horticultural Society and
held in the Council chamber of
the town hall, Clinton last Sat-
urday afternoon. Hundreds of
lovely blooms were on display
in every sort of arrangement,
from a simple one in a left -over
spice bottle to elaborate ones in-
volving sparkling crystal, ribbon
and candles.
Of special interest at the show
was the various . exhibits from
school children. There was a fair
amount of ingenuity shown, in this
class and the first prize winner of
the table bouquet was Miss Heath-
er Winter, High St., who had
placed a new pink rosebud in sett-
ing of sweet allyssium and small
blue cornflower to achieve a
charming centrepiece.
The winner for •the best table
arrangement for adults was won
by Mrs. Clifford Epps, North St.
Her entry had everyone trying to
name the numerous varieties of
small flowers which were placed
skilfully in a large tow bowl.
Though there was no prize offer-
ed
ffered novel arrangements, there
might be room for an addition to
time prize list next year. Mrs. J'.
M. Elliott, Victoria St., brought
her "Kiddies' Delight", just for the
fun of it. This was a child's toy
metal stove, resembling the old-
fashioned type of wood range,
complete with removable lids, fire-
box and oven on. hinges. Mrs.
Elliott had arranged tiny flowers
m the coal scuttle, and in the fire-
box itself to make a charming con-
versation piece.
At 11 a.m. alr'exhibits were in
the council chamber, and follow-
ing the judging which was con-
ducted by C. V. Cooke, Joseph St.,
the show was • open to the public
at 230 p.m, and again during the
evening. A door prize, a flower
container, was won by Mrs. Evelyn
Gaines, Flint, Mich. $50 was re-
ceived by means of a silver collect-
ion. Rev. D, J. Lane, Huron St.,
is chairman of the Society.

ed bouquet, Mrs. Clifford Epps,

Should you ever wonder just
where all the money goes that
comes in the weekly pay envelope,
we can show you where part of
it, at least, is bound for. In 1953,
the average Clintonian will spend
$224.70 to buy various sorts of

few more cents expense, gain the
advantages of a municipally fin-
anced town band. He could, in
fact, change from paying a cer-
tain sum per month for the re-
moval of garbage, and under a
town operated system, could pay
at the rate of a few cents a week,

lenses, film slicer and rewinds, at

OFFICIAL COUNT
GIVES CARDIFF
MAJORITY OF 953
The official count of returns
from the 145 polls in Huron rid-
ing was reported August 18 by
returning officer, J. K. Hunter,
Goderich.
Listed are I1;045 votes cast
for L. E. Cardiff and 10,092
votes for A. Y. 1VtcLean; that is,
a majority of 953 for the prog-
ressive candidate. An earlier
report showed a majority of 259
votes more than the official one.
A total of 81.5 per cent of the
26,179 persons listed on Huron
voters' lists cast their votes.
Only 194 ballots were rejected.
The change in the Cardiff ma-
jority was .brought about mainly
by the armed forces voters who
cast 83 ballots for him and 327
ballots for the Liberals. The
other changes occurred due to
changes in results reported for
five of the polis in the riding..
The returning officer called
attention to the good voting re-
cord of the electors at the Hu-
ron County Home. The voters
at the home, cast 49 ballots, of
which only two were improperly
marked.
The Dublin poll hi Hibbert
Township recorded the best
turnout with 92,54 per cent of
the voters at the poll. Bayfield
Poll, No, 8 Stanley, showed the
poorest turnout, only 200 of a
possible 351 voters cast their
ballots.

Hospital
Leo-hreak Serious
Robin E. Thompson, clerk of
Goderich . Township, and well-
known farmer, had the misfortune
to break his leg, while working
with the combine. on Monday, Au-
gust 10. Apparently, he had been
adjusting some part of the ma-
chine, when it slipped, landing on
his leg, and causing a complicated
break between the knee and ankle.
Mr. Thompson was taken to
Clinton Public Hospital for treat-
ment, and it is understood that he
will remain there for some time
yet.
Quite recently he had been ap-
