On July 2nd in the evening,
the Clinton Centennial Band
were invited to play at. the Tat-
too in Mitchell to help
celebrate their Centennial
Year.
The Clinton band showed up,
well against the more experien-
ced bands, even though there
were only 21' members present,
having lost some, members to
baseball and soccer. They
managed to get a good plug in
for Clinton's Centennial and
received many ovations for
their performances.
The Clinton band experien
ced their first parade march,
which turned out better than
expected as there had been lit-
tle opportunity for practice.
They took their turn on stage,
and played three pieces, which
evidently were the only true
`band' numbers presented. The
rest played mostly concert
arrangements.
The band had many com-
pliments paid to them from the
other bands - Mitchell Legion,
Stratford Legion Concert Band,
Goderich Laketown Band and
Forest Town 'Band and the
Pipe Bands from St. Mary's,
Clinton and Listowel.
'Band members had the op-
portunity to talk to James
Allen Ford - cornet virtuoso
due to weather conditions. It is
hoped to have a band concert
each Thursday evening during
July and August and we Are.

The Tattoo was well atten-
ded. The bleachers in the Fair

the weather held off but when
they played their numbers, it
was already dark, wi)'h thunder
rolling in the distance and
lightening flashes all around.
The local band was invited
to attend a celebration in

they accepted. Transportation

Do you remember?
BY JABEZ RANDS
(its port of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations
next year, Jabez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly
column on the history of the town.)
Do you remember when a spring creek ran through Clin-
ton near the centre of town?
Yes, there was a spring creek that had its beginning in the
low land now owned by the Credit Union and from a point
of land east of the present Ontario Street United Church.
It ran behind what is now Mrs. Len Heard's property and
Mr. L. Chapman's property. behind the Clinton Hotel, and
out to Victoria Street at a point where Mr. W. Newcombe's
Drug Store is now.
It crossed Victoria Street, passing underneath a little old-
time horse and buggy bridge, across King Street under
another horse and buggy bridge and into the south side of
the Sloan Block to Isaac Street.
It passed under another culvert and then down Mary
Street to Orange Street. From here it wandered through the
lots between Mary Street and Wellington Street, through
North Street and out into Goderich Township and even-
tually into Mr. Trick's creek.
This spring creek is still near the centre of Town, but it is
not now as healthy as it used to be. It noiv runs through 12
and 15 tiles, five or six feet deep and is called the Mary
Street Drain,
The late H.T. Rance told me he used to go fishing in this
creek in the low part near the Credit Union property and the
late George Taylor said he caught fish at a culvert in front
of the Ontario Street Church.
This creek was known. as the river rush away back in In-
dian times because they said it always seemed to be in a
hurry,
