Bill Andrews Wins
Huron Award For
County Standing
William A. Andrews, Clinton,
son of Mr. and Mrs, F. W. And-
rews, George Street, has been
awarded the Huron County schol-
arship for the highest standing of
a Huron County man in any year
of any course at the University of
Western Ontario, London. The
young woman who won the com-
panion award was Barbara Gaunt,
Belgrave.
"Bill" Andrews presently is
working on chemical research with
a doctor in the University. One
interesting find of theirs has been
to treat a tomato seed, or that of
any other vegetable before plant-
ing, and during the growth of the
plant, worms will not attack it.
Now they are attempting to, per-
fect the process so that such -
treated plants will not be injurious
to humans.
Clinton Youngsters
To .Skate Free
Hallowe'en Night
A joint effort of the Clinton
Lions Club, Clinton Branch No,
140 Canadian Legion, and the
Kinsmen Club of Clinton, will pro-
vide a free skating party for the
youngsters of Clinton on Saturday
night, October 31. This will be
the first night of skating in ,the
arena this season,
This free skating party will be
held instead of the customary
Hallowe'en Party provided for the
children, complete with treats and
prizes, There will be no hand-
outsgiven, other than the oppor-
tunity to have a good time on the
ice.
When the matter of a Party was
first brought up before the council
of the town of *Clinton, the opinion
seemed to be that there was no
funds available for it, since fin-
ances already had been exceeded.
by some of the committees. It was
suggested at that council meeting
that the chairman of the special
committee contact the various ser-
vice clubs to gain their support of
a program, of some sort. ,
The Liana, Legion and -Kinsmen
already have signified their wil-
lingness to provide this free skat-
ing party, and if any other or-
ganization in toWh would like to
contribute, their support would no
doubt be gladly accepted.

Rev. G. Eagle Tells Holstein Club
New Canadians Should Scatter
Addressing the Huron County
Holstein Club's annual banquet in
Ontario Street United Church last
Thursday night, Rev. A. Glen
Eagle discussed the problem of
immigration in Canada, particul-
arly in Huron County. "Immigra-
tion itself," said the speaker, "is
no longer a debatable question.
We need immigrants who are wil-
ling to contribute towards Canad-
ian nationaliey and Canadian cul-
ture. The problem is rather the
question of how immigration is
going to be handled and by
whom," he said.
Not favoring immigrants set-
tling in groups, Mr. Eagle went on
to say that "much as we sympa-
thize with these fine, . excellent
new Canadians, we are engaged in
building a mighty nation, a Can-
adian nation, a Canadian, family—
but we have not progressed far
enough. as a country to accept the
infusion of new blood by pockets
or groups of other culture,"
"I would not deny anyone the
right to worship in his own
church," said the speaker, "but
when that church becomes the
focal point for a different culture,
perpetuating the same idea as the
pocket plan, then it is a different
matter. You are not going to
help these people by keeping aloof
from them you won't win them
by prejudice. Being neighborly
and sharing some of our great
abundance would help much."
Iii closing he said that immi-
grants can add zest and spice to
our country—but that it can't be
done in lumps — that Canadians
have to help them in a sane, sen-
sible and Christian way.
Here, Mr. Eagle said, it is a
known fact that the New Canad-
ians are trying to perpetuate their
culture by establishing a Christian
Reformed Church in Clinton.
Entertainment was provided by
Frank Schubert, Goderich, violin-
ist, accompanied by Mrs. Ed Wen-
derf, Clinton.
It was announced that the an-
nual meeting of the club would be
held on November 5 at 8 p.m. in
the agricultural office board room,
Clinton.
Harold Baker, assistant agricul-
tural representative for the county
spoke on the 4-H Club work, of

we can sell. We don't know the
price we can get from either
one, nor do we know the cost of
repairing either one. We can

Kinsmen District Governor.
Here; Instals Officers
Err, Cantor, Leamington, Dist-
rict Governor of Zone 1 in the
Association of Kinsmen Clubs was
the guest of honour of the Kins-
men Club of Clinton at their reg-
ular meeting on Tuesday evening
in Hotel Clinton.
Mr. Cantor, paying his first visit
to Clinton since being. elected
District Governor last June, was
here to instal the officers of the
Clinton club for the coming term.
Kinsman Erie addressing the
meeting, outlined the plans of
district No. 1 in regards to expan-
sion for the coming year. He stres-
sed the constant need for expan-
sion in order to maintain strength.
He pointed out that due to the
age limitations of Kinsmen clubs
that they were always losing old-
er members and that the new
clubs would bring new, young
members into Kin who would in-
ject new ideas and give added in-
spiration to the organization.
"Kin is a service organization,"
he added, "but there are many
kindsof service. In my opinion,
personal service is the only kind.
When you have made a little sac-
rifice of time and effort and you
cherish that sacrifice, thenyou've
done a service."
Kin. Cantor spoke to each of
the officers and outlined their
nigh. and I don't believe council
would be willing to sell the area
at the back.
Reeve Nediger: Council has no
right to sell without calling for
tenders. I feel it should be ad-
vertised for sale.
Agnew (speaking to delega-
tion): What is wrong with the
other building? There's an
auditorium there, ready for use
for your services.
Corn. Buruma stated that he
tions that were, enjoyed by all. had read in the papers that the
Robert Southcott, Exeter, was town hall was in bad condition,
the lucky winner of the mystery and council had stated that it

school.

Corn. Buruma: We've been

someone else long enough. Now
that we can look after ourselves,
it is time that we prepare to
make a move.
Pegg: Would you consider the

Corn. Buruma; No.
Coun. Agnew (speaking to
council); These people have bid
$18,000. Is that enough?
Council: No.
Corn. Buruma; We are strang-
ers here in this country. We
will perhaps consider raising
our price, but we do not wish
to take the building away from
someone else who wants it.
Members of the delegation and
representatives of the press were
asked to leave the council charm.
ber while council deliberated.
After the recess the mayor re-
pelled that council had decided
that if the building were sold,
the back lots would not be in-'
chided. Also that council had
decided to take the matter of the
move before the people, and then
if they did sell, it would be for
not less than $25,000.
Building, Clinton, heard the dairy
commissioner for Ontario, E. M.
Biggs, deny that Canada is pric-
ing herself out of the world dairy
markets.
The members were told that
Canada is still hopeful of a United
Kingdom cheese export this fall—
because a surplus does exist, This,
said . the commissioner, would
benefit all the dairy industry as
well as open the export door to
the United Kingdom. He told the
men that at the present time 97,-
000,000 pounds of butter is in stor-
age --an increase of 17,000,000 over
that of Iast year—and that there
is 10,000,000 pounds of cheese sur-
plus this year. However, 1953 has
brought a decreased stock of con-
centrated milk.
R. S. McKercher, chairman of
the Huron Federation of Agricul-
ture, spoke briefly and stated that
he was in favour of advertising
the dairy product, and keeping
quiet about margarine. He advis-
ed that the best policy was to
boost the dairy industry. He quot-
ed an example in the USA when
a campaign of advertising beef as
a health food increased consump-
tion by 26 per cent.
