Lionettes Head Parade Down Albert Street
Top attraction at last Saturday's Legion Band Tattoo in Clinton was the
famed Sarnia Lionettes Drum and Bugle Corps. The colour party stretched in
solid line across the Clinton Main Street as the band in close array and :a
solid mass of bright colour andsound followed behind. The band took part in
tWo parades through town, one at noon, and the other prior to the evening
program. This is one of Canada's pride and joys, as far as bands are con-
cerned. News -Record Photo)
Over 2,000 Enjoy Tattoo
Legion Event a Success
Perfect weather, and eager
crowds made the Band Tattoo
staged last week in Clinton by
the Legions and Concert Band, a
great success. It is estimated
that .2,200 people attended the
event.
Friday night Orrin Baird
took the emcee job, where the
pipe bands held the . spotlight.
Taking part were bands from
the Goderich Legion, Clinton
Legion, Exeter Legion and the
Mount Forest Highlanders. The
massed bands number at the
end of the 'evening featured 35
pipers and a normal comple-
ment of drummers. It was .a
grand sight, and a grand sound.
=Dance numbers by the Mary
Lynn Leonard Dancers, Gode-
rich, spiced the evening's pro-
gram with their Scotch dances.
Clinton .Community Concert
Band, the .hosts for the affair,'
had a busy night. They were
in Hensel' for the opening of
the spring show there, and
then came back home in time
to perform at the close of the
evening's program.
Mayor William J. Miller made
an opening address.
Saturday afternoon, there
were but threebands taking
part, hut they made up in qual-
ity what ;they lacked in quan-
tity.
The Samna Lionettes Drum
and Bugle Corps Band, directed
by John Mann performed upon
the ball diamond which was
awkward for them (they're
used to football fields), and for
which (at night) even the best
lightiaxig Clinton, PVC's John
Wise could erect, was not alto-
gether sufficient.
The girls got a terrific ova-
tion from the crowd for the
various maneouverls. Included
was the posting of the colours
by the colour guard of ten
girls, each carrying a differ-
ent flag. The Military Manoeuv-
ers carried out are the same
as those to be used on June
22, 23 - and 24 at Sault Ste.
Marie, Michigan, in comipetition.
Other bands attending Satur=
day night were the Perth Regi-
ment Band, led by Drum Major
K. H. Candler and Pipe, Major
Jack Skinner, which won the
second place award of the day.
The Young Conquerors Fife and
Drum Band, London, won the
third place award. First was
taken by the RCAF Station
Clinton Bugle Band.
The Canadiahaires is a maj-
orette corps from St. Thomas,
directed by Mrs. Donna Shear-
ing. The performance on Satur-
day afternoon and evening, is
the 42nd appearance in the past
nine rnonths. They were organ-
ized in September, 1961. Col-
our Guard captain ]s nine -.year-
old Suzanne Shearing, who also
did a baton twirling routine, •ac-

First Digging At Vocational School Site
Men and machines moved onto the site of the new vocational wing on the
campus of Clinton District Collegiate Institute this week. This is a machine,
slightly akin to a post -hole digger, and a lot like an egg beater. The operator
lowers the whirling angled blades into the ground, and it digs in. Then he
raises them and they lift a load of earth in the air. A twirl of the blades and
the earth spews out away from the hole. Then the blades are lowered again
for another load, Concrete mix trucks stood by, to pour cement in each 15 -
foot hole to a depth of 21/2 feet, in order to. insure firm footing for the new
building. Noon hour found a number of the students taking the opportunity
of learning about construction from the ground up. (News -Record Photo)

Streets Work
A petition from residents. on
Beech, Mill and Whitehead
streets for paving of ,these
streets this year was received.
A. Garon, one of the petitioners
spoke in support of it. '
Council's reply was that de-
cision of streets to be paved
this year was already made, the
engineer's estimates were diose
and approval requested of the
Ontario Municipal Board. Plans
could not be changed.
Council suggested that an-
other time, request for such.
work should be made in Man eh
before the year's budget is de-
cided.
Mr. Garon made his approach
to council at 8.30 p.m. the time
he ,had-,•beerft ,told to arrive 'at
the meeting-- 'However council
had started -on time and had
already dealt with the petition.
They were reluctant to re -open
the question,.
Reeve Morgan J. Agnew not-
ed that decision had been enable,
but that every person should
have his say. He. said that
eventually the streets would be
paved. "We're not trying to
railroad you cart of town."
Mr. Garonexplained hie situ-
ation; with extra traffic dee to

and oil on the street's, the pro-
blem was bad, and he said,
"This is waste money, for ,the
traffic breaks, the street up
again within a month."
Mr. Garon asked how council
arrived at decisions of which
streets to pave. Reeve Agnew
said, "First of all we don't have
to 'answer that question."
Mr. baron was supported by
Wilfred Parker who said they
had not felt it necessary to'
approach council earlier in the
year, b'eoause they had been
"`premised for years, three or
