No, these men aren't flagpole sitters. 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.

Canadian (. o. 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

operative. The canvas in Huron
County will be carried out by the

Stanley Townships asking for a
support price 'to be placed on beef

ty Beef Producers' Association
with a recommendation from the
meeting that a floor price for beef
be established.

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.
"The 24-year-old native of Bay-
field, Ont., had offers' from Tor-
onto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Winnipeg
and Edmonton.
"Arkell is 6'4" and packs 235
pounds. He starred with Univers-
ity of Western Ontario Mustangs
in 1953 and 1954,, and is currently
attending Waterloo College.
"He was also a member of the
Kitchener - Waterloo Dutchmen,
champions of the ORFU last year."
