Speaker at the next Lions
Club meeting will be Elmer W.
Goebel, Stratford, the general
manager of Mid-Western Ont-
ario Development Association,
of which Clinton is a part.
Subject of his talk will be pl-
anning, how to plan, and the
advantages.
"In the next five years," Said
Mr. Goebel, "you will see ter-
rific changes in this area. Cit-
izens of Clinton should be vit-
ally interested in the welfare
of the town. With the new
hospital being built at Goderich
more families will be moving
into this area. Goderich can-
not hold them all."
Representatives' of the neigh-
bouring townships, as well as
the town council will be invit-
ed to the Lions meeting.
Council of the town of Clin-
ton has become concerned over
the difficulties arising due to
a lack of planning board, The
town has been designated a pl-
aiming area, but since about
1956 no board has been appoin-
ted.
Speaking to a small gather-
ing in the Clinton town hall,
Monday, John Pearson of the
community planning branch, de-
partment of municipal affairs,

THIS PRETTY LITTLE MISS
is Cindy Ruth Ann Marie . .
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tod
Donnelly (her mother was
Catherine Carter, probably bet-.
ter knoWn as Kitty) of Clin-
ton . . The family is living
at Portage la Prairie now, and
15-month old Cindy has won
a child personality contest
carried on there . . . This pic-
ture certainly indicates plenty
of pleasing personality . .

THE INTERNATIONAL PL-
owing match is on this week
just north of Belleville . .
Though interest in plowing
seems to have lost a good deal
of its appeal, with the passing
of the horse from the farm
scene . . . the big matches do
bring out huge crowds . . .
many of them interested in the
displays of farm equipment and
other things . .
* *
WE UNDERSTAND THAT
the Town Council of 'Clinton
has not yet indicated in an of-
ficial way . . . their recognition
of the Legion Juveniles for
bringing the first Ontario Base-
ball Association championship
to our town . . However, since
council will meet early next
week, we would hope to sfe
them take some action on this.

ENDING OW THE VIC'TO'RY
parade of the Juvenile team
through the downtown streets
of Clinton . . . was a compli-
mentary roast turkey dinner
with •all the trimmings served
at Bartliffs Restaurant .
Extra staff was brought in to
do the job up well, and all
team members, some special
friends and the batboys were
treated , . . Hungry . as `teen-
agers seem to always be, some
ended up with ice cream sund-
aes and milkshakes . . One
of the waitresses said, "It did-
n't take long to feed them , .
the main problem was to get
them to stop going from table
to table signing their names
on baseballs, and sit down . .
Then some of the team went
bowling before calling it a
day . . *
WE'RE BEING RIBBED A
little about stopping the ball
game on Sunday . , it hap-
pened when we were trying
for the picture of the stands
at •the top of front page . . .
Didn't realize the effort was
disrupting things' . . In any
case, we don't feel badly for
drawing the umpire's -ire . . .
for the Clinton boys began to
get runs very shortly after-
ward . . * * •
WHEN TALKING ABOUT
successes at sports . . . an ex-
tra little mention should be
made of -Bonnie Boyes sweep-
ing success of the four school
meet held last week . , . She
romped' in with a perfect score
of 25 points . . . wirming all
classes, and breaking records
right and left . . . Good stuff,

New Rectory At
St. Paul's To
Replace Old One
Members of the parish of St.
Paul's Anglican Church have
decided to proceed with the
major project of building a new
rectory. The present home pro-
vided for the rector of the ch-
urch is about 90 years old.
Plans for renovation have not
proved economical. Wiring has
been installed over the years,
and is termed dangerous, and
heating is another problem.
Construction of a modern
four-bedroom, two storey home
will take place on the land just
east of the present rectory, and
the Rev, and Mrs. P. Dymond
and family will continue to live
in the present house until the
new one is completed'.
Estimated cost is $18,000. A
canvass of members of the par-
ish for cash and/or pledges of
money will be held on Thurs-
day evening, October 12. There
are about 160 calls to be made.
St. Paul's parish is well over
100 years old, They have just
completed a renovation of the
church 'building, and an ex-
tensive addition which has pro-
vided a spaelouS classroom for
Sunday School classes and oth-
er social activities, in addition
to the parish hall,
