be due to circumstances, but he
would either stay where he was,
or move up, depending on the
wish of the electors.
Councillor Beattie spoke in com-
mendation of council for the care-
ful watch each committee had
kept on the budgets, and predic-
ted that they would be able to help
the deficit showing in the public
works. He stated his belief that
the Public Works committee had
taken on "too large a bite, but it
was a job that could not be done
any other way." He said there
were things he would like to see
finished, -and he'd like to see the
Cemetery completely self-suppOr-
ting before' he left council. He
would stand if he were nominated.
Reeve Stanley reported, hat he
understood Mayor Miller felt the
same way about the coming year.

Bob Campbell, director of the Huron County Beef Producerl
(left) chats with Ralph Bennett, Chief 'of Livestock Marketing,
Ottawa, who was guest speaker at the meeting of the Beef group
held in Londesboro Hall last Friday night, With them are Bob.'
McGregor, RP, 2, Kippers, president of the group and Jack Arm-
strong, Auburn, another director. iWth over 200 beef men atten-
ding the meeting, the event showed strong interesty by the pro-
ducers in. Huron, in the problems of marketing and production
of their stock. . (News-Record Photo),
Three delegates from the
UM Branch 140 Canadian Legion
appeared before town council last
Week, requesting assistance in
their attempt to have November
3.1 a provincial holiday, A letter
was before council, asking for re-
consideration of that body's pro=
elania.tion of a half holiday this
year. However, owing to the' post-
ponement of the meeting from
'Tuesday 'until Thursday evening,
there was • no time to make a
change in the proclamation public
through the Clinton News-Record.
Delegates were R. B, Campbell,
secretary of the local Legion; J.
W. counter, a past president, and
Cameron. Proctor, vice-president of
the Legion.
Spokesman R. B. Campbell said
"We reel Council has acted wrong-
ly in proclaiming only a half holi-
day. Now with the weekly paper
.out, there is slim chance of advis-
ing the public in time to be of any
good,"
He went on, "We feel this iS a
problem more far-reaching than
our own municipality. We in the
Legion feel it is time that legis-
lation be passed to• make the day
representative of what it is. We
are Legionnaires. and we feel it is
very important. We go on parade
for a purpose.
Reeve 'Stanley (acting mayor)
reported that the -matter had been
discussed and, had been well gone
into. He stated his believe that
unless all the town do the same,
closing just drives people away.
'The factories go on as before.
Councillor Irwin said, "We are
of the same opinion as the Legion
We are not backsliders in- this re-
gard, but we feel, the stores have
been imposed upon. The clerks
just hightailed it away to other
towns on that day to see what was
going on, We are of the opinion
that the day should be made or-
fiCially a holiday on a province-
wide basis, and the proclamation
should -come "from. upstairs,"
1Councillor Bridle moved a mot-
ion to authorize the clerk to write
to the Huron member requesting
that suitable legislation 'be passed,
3. W. Counter, one of the dele-
gation, spoke assuring council that
with their support the Legion
would do all in its power to in-
fluence legislators to take the pro-
per steps.
(On Friday, November 8, the.
matter was brought into the House
of Commons by Arnold Peters,
COE member for Timiskaming,
himself an RCAF veteran of the
Second World War. He urged the
Commons to declare November 11
a solemn, national holiday of com-
memoration),
Among local towns, Goderioh
marked the day with a morning
holiday, similar to Clinton. Sea-
forth, Exeter, Blyth and Brussels
closed their towns for the full day.
LEGION PAPER DRIVE
NETS OVER 14 TONS
Despite the rain on October N,
the paper drive conducted by the
Clinton Branch 140, Canadian
Legion, was a decided success.
• A fair number of. Legionaires
turned out to help with the pick-
up of paper, and when ,it was
weighed at the end of the day,
they found they had over 14 tons.

Plea For Full Holiday, November 11
Too Late; Council Sympathetic
(=WON NXIVS-19XCORP
As things look xight now, it may
be quite possible that Clinton will
see the same eight men and mayor
in office for 1958 that have served
on Council during 1956 and 1957,
Speaking last Thursday night at
the regular November Council
meeting, traditional time for
"stating intentions," every one of
the councillors, reeves and the
mayor (in absentia) told of their
intentions to run again for _office
if nominated.
As acting mayor, Reeve Burton
Stanley spoke first, remarking that
it had been a bad year and with a
lot of things to' finish up, he would
like to stay on if the others would.
Deputy Reeve Trewartha said he
was glad to hear that, and men-
tioned in the future that in two,
years Clinton would be in line for
the wardenship in County Council.
"We've not had a warden here
since George Elliott held that pos-
ition," he• said, and went on: "I
don't believe I've ever sat with a
better council. If anyone of them
wants to step up I'll step aside,
but for an outsider, I'm not
sure. . ."
;Councilllors Bridle, Sutter and
Dale said they would go with the
trend, and stand if -the electorate
wanted them.
Councillor N. Livermore said he
had enjoyed the work of council
more in 1957 than ever before.
"On public works committee," he
said, "I get smiled at and I get
kicked at, too." He said he was
pleased to sit with Deputy Reeve
Trewartha, who had been his Sun-
day School teacher when he was
a youngster.
Councillor Irwin said he had not
exactly made up his mind, it would
Let's Compare The Weather At 'Clinton
(By F/S O. (CALVERT, RCAF Station 'Clinton)
October of 1957 has proven to be much colder than October 1956
the amount of rain that fell during October oif this year exceeded last
year's rainfall for the same period by 3,16 inches.
The trend continues to show a warmer average temperature for
the ten months period for 1957 however slight, it also indicates that
even though the total rainfall for the ten months period for 1957 has
been ..less than for the' same period of 1956 it is interesting to node
that for the months of September and October of 1957 we have had
a far greater amount of rainfall for the same period of 1956.
Records show that in November of 1956 there was a snowfall' of
11.0 inches with the first heavy snowfall occuring on the 22nd of
November 1956 and the amount was 3.5 inches.
% During October of 1957 there were ten days in which freezing
temperatures occured as compared to four days for the same period'
in 1956. A variety of weather generally occurs during the month
of November of any year, it is not expected that this year will be
different.
There wasn't any thunderstorm activity during October of 1956
or 1957.
In summary therefore, it may be stated that the temperature on
the average has been warmer by '0.3° for the ten month period of
1957, and that 11.50 inches less rainfall has occurred for 1957 as
compared with 1956.
Any comments or criticisms regarding thii monthly article on
the weather, past or present, will be welcome.

light cost about $450 last year,
this time it looked as if total cost
would be $700.
Lifter some discussion, during
which Councillor N. Livermore re-
marked that there seemed to be
always someone, '"down there fix-
ing the sign," 'council authorized
the clerk to write the CNR for an
explanation. Councillor Bridle ad-
vised, "there's no use waiting for
another bill, we should write now
asking why it costs- so much."
Cemetery Costs
Councillor George Beattie, chair-
man- of the Cemetery Board, re-
ported that the superintendent
had leave of absence, and was vis-
iting in Ireland until next March
With only one man through the
winter-made possible because of
the chapel at the cemetery, he
expected a saving of from $700 to
$900. In, fact, he expected • the first
surplus ever experienced at the
Cemetery, of over $800, and with
this the Board plannedoto furnish
the new chapel.
No Tax Sale
With tax arrears at a new low
of $5,539 over the past 'four years,
finance chairman Deputy Reeve N.
W. Trewartha states he does not
expect a tax sale in the town of
Clinton this year. There has not
been such a sale for many years.
"It was the feeling of Council,
in committee Of the whole," re-
ported the Deputy Reeve "that
these taxes should be pressed for."
More Tables
Rev. D. J. Lane, president of
the Clinton Citizens' Horticultural
Society, had requested permission
to store several tables in the' town
hall. These will' be similar to
those already purchased by the
town, and planned to be in use in
the hall. Permission was grated
Plumbers Request
On request 'of Councillor Herb
Bridle, John Livermore reported
that in neither Hensall, Seaforth
nor Exeter, was there a by-law
setting up a licence fee for plum-
bers and heaters coming into those
towns to work. The clerk also
said he could find no authority for
setting up any taxing scheme for
outside plumbers.
Councillor Sutter said he
thought Clinton was missing the
boat by not taxing those fellows
coming in. "We're a groWing
town, here," said Sutter, "and so
we are in a different situation. In
fact, Bayfield residents are grum-
bling because their plumbers are
over here. They get more money
here for their work."
Several councillors gave their
opinion that "if the local men give
prompt srevice, there will be no
need. Ii for protection."
Sutter remarked, "We might not
get better service, but the town
would have the revenue from the
licence' fees to outsiders,"
Financial.Statement
Councillor G. Beattie questioned
the necessity for having 'budget
figures printed for nomination
night. "The figures are not ac-
curate, and the wrong meanings
are sometimes taken from this
report," said Beattie.
The finance chairman, N. W.
Trewartha, defended the custom,
noting that some years ago a fin-
ancial statement had not been
printed, and "there was quite a
noise heard," He said that "if the
people don't have the report, they
think we're hiding something,
Actually ours has been quite con-
densed. The townships publish
quite an itemized report."
