Lions Learn of Community Planning
From Mid-WODA Manager
council. During Mr. Goebel's'
talk and afterwards in a ques-
tion period, he reminded his
listeners that councils can ov-
erride planning boards decis-
ions. But he added, if this hap-
pens too often you soon won't
have a planning board.
A board can be four, six or
eight persons with the mayor
as an ex-officio member. His
advice for Clinton would be "a
six-man board, with one-third
council members and the re-
mainder good civic-minded cit-
izens. All appointments are
made by council; appointments
are for three-year terms, and
one-third of members retire
each year, but can be re-ap-
pointed for another three-year
term. When a new board is be-
ing formed, such as would hap-
pen here, two members would
be appointed for one year, two
for two years and two for
three years. This would allow
one-third of board to retire
each year.
Usually one from each ad-
joining municipality is appoint-
ed to a planning board if these
municipalities are involved.
Mr. Goebel said it was a def-
inite benefit to bordering town-
ships to . be interested in a pl-
anning board.
The speaker offered his as'-
sistance if Clinton proposed
such an undertaking.
Mr. Goebel is an original
member of Mid WODA from
the town of Hespeler where he
had served on council and be-
came mayor. He was introduc-
ed by Councillor-Lion John
Sutter and thanked by Lion
Joe Murphy.
Municipal guests at the
meeting were Mayor W. J. Mil-
ler, Reeve Mel Crich, Deputy
Reeve M. J. Agnew, Councillors
Don Symons, W. C. Newcombe
and Norman Livermore, from
Clinton; Reeve Tom Leiper and
councillor Hugh Flynn, Hullett;

Council of the town of Clin-
ton on Monday supported a re-
solution proposed by the town
of Weston, requesting the De-
partment of Transport to set
up proper legislation to permit
use of "pedestrian crossovers"
in all urban centres in the
province.
These have been used' in
Metro Toronto with what has
been considewed good success
since it became law in that
area in late 1958. Councillows
here suggested the setting up
of pedestrian crossovers at the
Bartliff corner, and also at the
post office.
Value in pedestrian cross-
overs, is that when a person
walking is ready to cross the
street, he can raise his hand,
and motorists must stop to per-
mit the pedestrian to cross.
In regard to resolutions from
other municipalities, clerk John
Livermore commented that he
felt these supporting motions
should all go to some central
place, and be presented to gov-
ernment in a proper brief, rath-
er than each town sending in
its motions, separately.
Word was received from the
Department of Commerce and
Development 'that it might be
some weeks before they would
have staff on hand to carry
out a survey of the need for
more housing in Clinton!, but
that it would be done as soon
as possible.
Mayor W. J. Miller was al-
lowed $50 expenses for attend-
ing a meeting in Wingham, and
for himself and two others go-
ing to! Toronto.
Council supported a resolu-
tion from the town of Whitby
to reduce speed limit from 25
mph to 15 mph in designated
school zones. The local council
will investigate the actual ,area
which can be designated a
school zone, with respect to
town schools.
Councillor H. Bridle asked
that time be given for council
to consider such resolutions as
these. "They are important,

Hensall Mother
Saves Children
From Trailer Blaze
(Hensall. Correspondent)
Mrs. Earl Gees, Hensall, bun-
dled up her sleeping children
and carried them through a
smoke-filled hallway in their
35400t mobile home to safety
on Friday morning after an
electric heater burst into fl-
ames. Mrs. Gass said her hus-
band had gone to work at 7
a.m. A half hour later she was
turning on the heater when
the explosion occurred. The
children Gary, 5, and Brenda,
4, were sleeping. "I carried
Ahem out to the car," she said,
adding that she then called
Hensel], volunteer fire brigade.
Damage was confined to the
kitchen area. A cupboard was
burned, and 'the plastic plumb-
ing in the mobile home was
burned. Firemen entered the
unit with gas masks because
of the dense smoke. They said
that in anther ten minutes
the 'trailer would have been
destroyed.
At 11 am, that, same moron
ing the firemen were called
again to the mobile home when
fire started in the partitions.
league tournament is underway
for Christmas week, when th-
ree days' of competition is an-
ticipated.
and they should not be shelv-
ed," said Mr. Bridle, "but we
have never heard of either of
these two resolutions (from
Weston .and Whitby) before."
Deputy Reeve M. J. Agnew
commented that possibly they
should have left the streets
bumpy. "We build smooth
streets so cars can go fast, and
now we have to limit speed.
It's like- liquor. We voted for
it. But woe betide anyone who
gets plastered. The government
gives and it Makes away."
Councillor John Sutter (who
lives near the public school)
supported the idea of regulat-
ing traffic in the school area.
Councillor Norman Liver-
more asked if the police com-
mittee did not have some in-
formation on school zones, and
the extent to which they could
be designated. Mayor W. J.
Miller, head of the police com-
mittee, said 'the thief constable
might know, but that he didn't.
Licence fee for keeping a
trailer in a park in Clinton
was increased from $4 to $6 per
month. Trailers which are lic-
enced' out of Ontario, and do
not stay more than 90 days do
not pay e licence fee.
Counsellor Bridle noted that
maximum fee chargeable under
provincial regulations is $20 a
month, so that Clinton's rate
could not be considered too
high.
Chief Constable H. R. Thomp-
son was 'granted' $15 in expen-
ses to attend a police 'associa-
tion meeting in Chatham.
Councillor George Rtirriball,
head of the streets department
reported all paving done that
had been planned, and the in-
tention of the streets men to
use the drag on the new grader
to smooth the sides of the
street up to the pavement level.
Reeve Melvin Crich, head of
the health and welfare commit-
tee reported only one person in
relief in town. He noted that
dangerous, or dead trees should
be marked now, so that they
could be cut in winter. Dr. D.
J. Lane (in the council room
regarding a motion from the
ministerial aasoelation) 'asked
the mayor if the town had con-
sidered planting trees to take
the place of those that were
cut. Mayer Miller said, "Oh,
we're leaving that up to the
horticultural society." Die
Lane, Who was president of the
Clinton Horticultural Society
for a number Of years, said,
"Well, 'the town is responsible
if they take a tree out, to plant
one in' its stead," Mayor Miller
Stated his opinion that, if the.
oWnent of property want to,
they could plant fancy trees
out in front of their places,

CDCI Board Has
Advertised For
Shop Director
Clinton District Collegiate
Institute Board passed a mo-
tion concurring with a decision
of the Advisory Vocational
Committee to advertise for a
shop director for the new sec-
tion of the school. Meeting in
the collegiate last night, under
the direction of chairman Ir-
vine Tebbutt, this was one of
the main items to come before
the board.
The duties of the shop direct-
or will begin on January 1. He
will be expected to consult
with the architect and be !avail-
able throughout construction,
as well as plan, the various
shops within the new addition.
The shop director must be a
vocational specialist, which
means eight years as a journ-
neyman tradesman and three
summer courses at the Ontario
College of Education.
Principal John Cochrane re-
ported an enrolment of 632
pupils, and an average attend-
ance of 97.67 percent in Sep-
teinber. He noted' that in Sea-
forth, Goderich and Wingham,
pupils are not expected to re-
main at school until four
o'clock, but may leave after
regular classes are complete at
about 330, unless they are en-
gaged in :an activity period, or
are serving a detention.
At present, Mr. Cochrane
pointed out, there is' no advant-
age to •assigning a detention,
for the pupils must remain un-
til the buses come •at four
o'clock anyway. He stated: that
the school should not need, to
act as a baby-sitter, just to
keep the youngsters off the
streets.
George Falconer, Brucefield,
noted that it might be an in-
ducement to some of the "bad
actors" to &marten up, so they
could leave early. Mr. !Coch-
rane was given authority to
act at his own discretion in
this Matter.
Aubrey Langdon is the new
head of the cadet corps, taking
over from Captain Garnet W.
McGee, who will give up his
commission at the end of this
year. Mr, McGee will continue
in an advisory capacity.
A report on transportation
listed a total of 417 pupils rid-
ing on the buses, •a total of 600
miles per ,day, at a cost of $208
per day. There are nine buses
in use.

Mr. Hill reported on a meet-
ing in Winnipeg of the Nation-

ings Lions meeting. The guest
speaker was E. W. Goebel,
Stratford, general manager of
Mid-Western Ontario DeVelop-

"So- You Want a Planning
Board."
Mr. Goebel explained fully
how a planning board is set
up, its responsibilities and how
it works. He said that com-
munity planning is the art of
preparing a plan through wh-
ich a community can meet
progress..
Such a board has control
over sub-division control and
by-laws but is still an ad-
visory 'body. All final decisions
