Apparently living up to its name, this large sunflower in the 'garden of Frank B. Pennebaker is making a valiant effort in matching its namesake in size and height. Mrs. Pennebaker and Brenda I~ingswell, 11, needed. even more than this step ladder to find out it was 12 feet tall and had a flower measuring 15 inches across. The "showoff" which wasn't planted by anyone, far out-strips the sunflowers which were planted in another section of the garden. (News-Record Photo) onsmation And . Recreation Areas nsidered For Two Area Townships Large Duplex Approved A ong Buildinl ?Omits Building permits for the• value of $21,400 were approved by town council at their meet- ing, Monday, with the major permit being one issued to I E. Christensen for a duplex house at the corners of Osborne and' Alma Streets. The permit was for $16,000 with the remainder being for garages and additions mainly. Councillor Don Symons re- ported that no permit has been issued to a London man who has dug excavations at the cor- ner of. North and Cowper Streets. • It is reported that he had planned to erect a pair of four- family units, but no permit has been applied for as yet. Discussion on the subject arose at the last PUC meeting when the man was expected to meet with the Commission to discuss the installation of sew- er services in the area, However, he failed to show up. Other permits issued at the meeting were as follows: N.T. Wiltse, $100 for moving garage; William Fleischauer, $300 gar- age; Mrs. B. Shipley, $1,200 addition; Jerry Steep, $500 ad- dition; Mulh011and estate, $1,500 sunporch; E. Doucette, $1,000 garage; Don Switzer, $800 ad- dition. Although the safety of the Students was one of the main reasons given by the CHSS boa-rd for requesting no park- ing zones along Princess Street, discussion around the Clinton council table on Monday show- ed that many of the students Were apparently not as concern- ed with their own safety as the board was. • COttncillor Don Symons head- ed the attack on the students who do not appear to heed basic safety precautions and said many of them walked in the Middle of the street and "al- most defy drivers to hit them". He admitted that - the side- walks Were not good in the area, but added emphatically, "they are there". It was at his suggestion that the clerk was authorized to Write letters to CHSS Princi- pal I.1. 3. Cochrane and S. A. Gray, principal of the public school, asking them to remind students that the streets are for cars and to enlist their to- operation 'by walking"' on the sidewalks.

The assessment roll- for the coming year was presented to Hullett Township council at their September meeting, show- big little change from last year, George Carter, assessor, ex- plained that what increase there had been ,in -assessment had been offset by the destruc- tion of property by, fires in the township during the year. The roll was accepted sub- ject to the Court of Revision. Council also set the mill rate for 1963, It .will be 10 mills for farm and residentiol and .12 mills -for business' and commer- cial. - In . other business, council awarded' a contract for two cement culverts to Bruce Mac- Donald Construction co., Wing- ham. One will be situated at lot 10, coricession 12.13, -and the other will be at Iots 15-16, con- cession These culverts will be con- structed at a cbst of $10,387.50 with the reinfOrcing steel and cement being -supplied by the township. Engineers Start Preliminary Work On Highway Job Proctor and 'Redfern, civil and consulting engineers, Tor- onto, who have been retained by Clinton council' to do pre- paratory work on the proposed widening and resurfacing of Highway 8, reported' by letter on Monday that work has al- ready commenced in regard to their duties. Last Wednesday, the firm conducted a traffic count at the main intersection and'prelimin- ary work on the project start- edAsanNenda-Yeacs.ss. aos.gen The project, of which 90 per- cent will be paid by the de- partment of highways, calls for the widening ,of the highway by 24 feet from the eastern limits to the western, and a 1,600- foot section of pavement 40 feet wide, from the main intersec- tion and east to Gibbings Street. Department of highways of- ficials have already estimated cost of the project at $126,000, The Toronto firm will pre- pare their estimate of the cost and will make a detailed out- line of the work being submit- ted to the department of high- ways,for approval. The work done on the pre- liminary plan by the engineer- ing firm will be charged on a time basis due to the difficulty in assessing costs otherwise. The letter stated that if the project did not proceed, cost of the report would not exceed $1,000.00 Mayor W. J.: Miller reported to council that he expected the firm would have the work done before the October meeting of council and there would prob- ably be a special meeting call- ed.

"It is too bad when high school students have no more sense than that," agreed Dep' uty-Reeve John Sutter. Sutter, who lives near the school and recounted some har- rowing experiences that nearly resulted in tragic accidents, added that there was also too much speeding on the streets by drivers, terming it "terrific", "There's not enough precau- tion taken by maMi drivers," he stated.

If all projects that were talked. about ,at the first meet- ing of the present term of Clinton Lions, are put into effect the club is slated for. a busy year. President Jack Scruton chair- ed his first meeting, Tuesday, and in his comments said, • "I hope to add ten new members in my term of office," Thirty of the present 39-member club were present. Al Eades, a re- cent transfer to RCAF Station Clinton, was a guest, and will transfer his Lions membership from Trenton to Clinton. Treasurer Herb Bridle gave a statement on the past summer's activities: golf tourney, street carnival, drive-in theatre night the area of the school and said it was a "madhouse with cars racing around". "It's a wonder someone has- n't got it before now," he stated. Couneillor Symons interject- ed that it may he possible to set un reduced speed zones in the area of the two schools in an effort to curb the dangerous driving. All councillors expressed agreement in the no parking request from the school hoard and a bylaw was passed, and upon approval by the depart- ment of highways, no parking signs will be erected along Princess Street from Raglan to William. The ban will be in effect from 8:00 to 5:00 from Mondays to Fridays. Mayor 11ifilier said he hoped students WoUld not start park- ing On other streets in the area, but he was advised that parking space was available on the school grounds for staff and student members.

The Listowel man said. he was not prepared to sa'y at this time if dams would be built to create ponds at the sites. . W. 3, Kelterborn, .Milverton, chairman of the public rela- tions advisory board, said his board is. planning a tour of the entire Maitland watershed for all representatives on the Au- thority for October. Main pur- pose ,is to give representatives an opportunity to see the prog- ress made this, summer in de- velopment of the conservation areas, Until this year, the Maitland 'was mostly confined to refor- estation projects under agree- ment with the department of lands and forests. Little de- velopment was carried out with other schemes because of a lack of staff, This year the Author* hir- ed- a -full time superintendent and an assistant, Mr. Ielter- born said these men, with con- siderable equipment at their disposal and the assistance of a full time field officer, have rna.cle a marked improvement in the conservation areas, Harry F. Tebbutt, Londes- , bora, chairman of the farm pond advisory board, reported D. W. Scott, district inspector 'of' 'secondary schools, told a joint meeting- of the CHSS boapds!ariche.:44yiep.x..=.49., tonal Committee 'that they need not worry about future school building in Clinton "for a few years yet", when he met . with them, Wednesday. The subject had been raised by members of the group when they noted that enrolment had 'eached, 1,243 students on open- ing day—near capacity for the structure. To back up his statement, Mr ,Scott said he felt there could be several drop outs from the preSent vocational wing student register due to the- re- quirement by the department of education for student partici- pation in academic subjects as well as shop practice. He stated as well, that if the large enrolment persists in future,years, it Would be better for the three "feeder schools" at Goderich, Exeter and Sea- forth to retain grade nine stu- 17 applicants interested in con: structing farm ponds. He said two ponds have been completed and the owners have received their grants. Honor Field Man At the meeting, J. Terry Mc- Cauley, Exeter, a former field officer with the Authority was honored when he was present- ed with a leather brief case.

Wheat acreage also- may be reduced, Mr. Miles said, be- cause of a lack of heavy rains. Grain corn is reported 'matur- ing slowly and weather con- ditions may result in some far- mers being forced to use this year's grain corn as silage; he said. was due to the rental fees re- ceived by them from the park.

Mr. Cornish reported there would be about 35 customers affected by the change and said these people would probably be switched onto the Bell system at the end of this year.
