They're a couple of Bell Telephone linesmen doing an every-day job of constructing new telephone lines to serve more telephones. Such scenes were familiar around Clinton' in recent months as telephone lines were rearranged and extended to connect with the new dial telephone exchange.

C. 'Representative Comments On (l in ton And .Parking Chevs. Lead Series 2-1. Fourth Game Tonight "Parking is going to be one of the big problems even in- small towns," was the opinion .of Leo Buckley, representative of the. Canadian .0hamher .Commerce, as he woke to directors of the, Chamber meeting here on Tuesday night. "It will be as big as the water, sewage, hydro sere vice and other problems' Are," he said, "and it must be taken care of," Mr. Buckley advised thinking about off-street parking areas now, because some of the vacant lots now available, may .not be so available within a few yeare, When the subject; of Friday night Ppening, versus Saturday night =Tie up, Mr, Buckley re, ported that the trend is definitely toward Friday nights. The •Ontar- io Retail Merchants Association has Jorwardeci p.-request to the provincial government requesting legislation for making Monday an all day closing time, with Friday night opening, and. Saturday night closing at six o'clock. Mr. Buckley said, - '"SaturdaY night trade is on the decline. It would be to bad, if the exper- iment of opening on Friday nights; here, Which you have planned, Should fall through without a fair period of trial. "A. farmer" went on Mr. Buckley, "are not so much interested in when he does his shopping as he is in having a place to park when he comes to town, and he wants, to do all his shop- ping at one time, not find one store closed, and another one op- en," Mr. Buckley was' deeply dmpres- eed with the development of in- dustries within Clinton, During a short motor car tour of the Town and . vicinity iii the company of Chaleman R. B. Campbell, he -viewed the RCAF Station Clinton, as well ae. the establishments with- in the town limits. He commented on the nice horn- •es in town, but also noticed a Member of unsightly places, "even quite close to the main business part of town, which are not a cred- it to the town." Among improve- ments ,noted, Mr. Buckley remark ed upon the mercury vapour lamp which is on trial at the corner. of Rattenbury ' and Albert Streets, and said he "looked forward to the time when he would see Clin- t on with improved lighting throughout." Speeking of industrial preme- tioh, the Canadian Chamber rep- resentative remarked that the main thing is to cultivate a friend- ly atmosphere, making sure that people knewe who to contact in case of a request to diecuss! in- duatriel sites, and make potential industrialists feel welcome. Mr.. Buckley, who makes .annual visits to Clinton, said that he was impressed with' the changes to be noted on Main Streets: "The -im- provements to store fronts, new signs, ,etc,, should be conducive to other businesses coming here," he said, F. Of A, Favours Sponsoring Farm TV Broadcasts , The Board of directors of the Huron County Federation of Agri- culture, voted her in favour of the participation by the Feef A in sponsoring of a farm program on CINX-TV, at Wingharn; in co- operation with co-operatives, and commodity groups in six counties in Western Ontario, Douglas Mc- Neil, president, presided over the meeting, at• which this vote was taken. - Bert Lobb (Chairman of the Hur- on County Hog Producers' Assoc- iation outlined the purpose of a farm-to-farm canvass being under- taken by the F of A and the Hog Producers' Assobiation. Farmers will be offered the. opportunity to sign membership cards' as members of the Ontario Hog Producers' Co- operative. The canvas in Huron County will be carried out by the Township Federation of Agricul- ture directors. A resolution from Hay and Stanley Townships asking for a support price 'to be placed on beef was referred to the Huron Coun- ty Beef Producers' Association with a recommendation from the meeting that a floor price for beef be established. A committee of the president, past president, vice-president and the secretary, will consider a county picnic or field day to be held this year. fhW New Style Lights Make Bright .Spot In Town A try-out of "Bright lights" is being conducted on' Albert Street, Eby the Public Utilities Commission. According toe jabez Rands/ the one mercury vapour lamp, which has been erected at the corner of Al- bert and Rattenbury (right in front of the PUC office) is listed as 400 wets, just 100 watts more than the bulbs in the other light standards. However, a glance, even from as far away as, the Station at the west end of King Street, can easily pick out this one lamp as being much brighter. Unique even in "bright lights" this experimental one has' been in- stalled in the 'existing standard, thus effecting a considerable sav- ing, over the expense it would be to put up new standards. As yet in the trial stage, the town council and PUC are consid- ering the possibilities of changing, the lamps throughout the main streets, at least, to these brighter fixtures. CUT OUT Hog Prices Are Being Bargained For Collectively "Under our ,present and project- ed marketing programs in the pro- vince of Ontario, farmers' are dem- onstrating that they no longer in- tend to 'randomly dump' their pro- ducts without a set price at the doors' of the processors, but in- stead they are 'collectively deliv- ering' their products to the highest 'bidder," Charles McInnes, presi- dent of the Ontario Hog Producers' Association stated. Mr. McInnes was addressing the Grey County Hog Producers' As- sociation at Markdale last Wed- nesday, April 4. , "In order to carry out these pro- grams effectively," Mr. McInnes said that "the remuneration paid tor our marketing agencies who are as well trained, and who have as thorough a knowledge of the product, market outlets and trade practices, as' do the. buyers." The Hog Association president said that "the renumeration paid the general: manager of the Hog Producers Marketing Agency is far less. than that paid to the of- ficials of some packing firms with which he' is dealing every day, and in some instances it is a fact that his salary is less than half of their income.. Our general-manager re- ceives for managing the business of 40,000 hog producers about one- half cent per hog. Some teens- porters receive one dollar per hog or ,whore if they keep the 'hogs away from the open market and deliver them direct to the packers. These under-the-table payments' might average about $7,500 per market day for hogs' produced in Ontario." - "On January 25, some large packers openly declared that 23 cents," Mr. .111kinnis continued, "was all 'they were willing to pay the producer for hogs. Neverthe- less, we are getting one half cent per pound above the 23 cent figure and in some instances even more. The half cent amounts to $6,000 per market day earned for the far- mer." "I wonder if some of the legal advisors and others who are lead- in gthe campaign against the far- mers might not be getting well over $100 per day," Mr. McInnes stated'. .Phillipsburg chew have taken 24 lead in the WOAA, hornebrew finals over Clinton colts. During the past wek they have defeated the local club on their home ice (New Hamburg) 64, and last night in Clinton 84. iErnie .HaUtink Chey netminder has been the big st'um'bling block for the,Colts. He has came up .with two near perfect performan- ces that has.-inspired his mates to even greater effort. Cinistner and. Poelker, two burly defenceinen' have also contributed greatly to the Philipsburg cause, Their rog- ged play and stiff body-Checking has made the road to Haunn's doorstep a rocky one for attacking Colt forwards. Last nigh't's game was much closer than, the score indicates. Clinton carried the play for two of the major portions of the game but just couldp't click. Marne For- tune, who has been sitting on the Colt bench; on. occasion, completely deserted the club and Clinton, play- ers had several of the New Ham- burg goals deflect into their own net, off their sticks and bodies. Phillipsburg took the lead in the first period on a goal by .Boehler, The Chev player gained- possession of the biscuit in the coiner and his, pass-out struck Gentian's stick and deflected between the amazed Clinton's: netminder's legs into the mesh. Honderich added' another by banging in Arnold's rebound, Murray Colquhoun gave the Take 6-1 Defeat. 9 New -Hamburg Ice PHILLIPSBURG 6 0141STTON 1 With every man on the team playing heads-up hockey, Phillips- burg completely overran. Clinton .Colts last Friday night in New Hamburg. The 6-1- win was no indication of the play, the score could' have easily been doubled had it not been for the brilliant play of Bill German. The entire Colt . team with the exception of German have never played a game where they showed so little spark and drive. Cheys roamed the ice as if there was no opposition and rained rubber at German- mercilessly. First Phillipsburg goal -of the genie came mid-way through the first, period and they failed to add to their total until the second when German picked four pucks out of the rigging. Both teams split in the final 20 minutes. Jack Cart- er's shot from the blueline spoiled Haunn's bid for a shut-out, when it deflected off Christner into the cage. 0 Ken Arkell Signs, Up With B.C. Lions (By our Bayfield correspondent) The following excerpts from a newspaper column written by Jack Richards are of interest to many in this Community; "B, C. Lions to-day made their first big move for Canadian tal- ent. "Lions signed two new Canadian linemen, one of whom has been sitting quietly under the Lions' noses for a year. He is Bill Kuehnir, 'teacher and football coach at Lester Pearson High. School "The second Canadian is Ken Arkell, two-way tackle and de- fensive end, Lions obtained despite bids of five other clubs.
