Clinton Trustee Won Appeal - The appellate division of the Sup- reme Court of Ontario has upset the decision of Judge Costello of Huron County unseating Charles G. Middle- ton and Mrs, Lillian ,McKinnon as members of the Clinton Board of Edu- cation. The Huron Court judge ruled the pair could not sit as members 'of the board because their legal bill in, a previous court action had been paid from board funds. Middleton and Mrs. McKinnon carried the .case to the higher court and won their appeal. They also won .costs of the original trial and the appeal. Mrs. McKinnon will now b.e entit- led to sit on the Clinton Board of Education. Middlton's term, however, expired while the case was before the courts. The case has aroused wide interest in Western Ontario. The story dates back to a previous court case when Middleton and Mrs. McKinnon had two other members of the board un- seated. They were A. T. Cooper and W. E. Perdue. The courts ruled that Cooper and Perdue had disqualified themselves by having business transactions with the Clinton schools or school board. After they were unseated Cooper and Perdue asked the courts to take similar action against .Middleton and lvIrs. McKinnon on the grounds that their legal expenses in' the original court action had been paid from school board funds, Judge Costello heard the case and ruled in favor of Cooper and Perdue nseating Middleton and Mrs: McKin- non, Now the court of appeals has re- versed the judge's decision.

Think of the high courage, the indomitable will of those pioneer women. Within the stockade or in ,the open field, they toiled — yes, fought by the side of their men for the safeguarding of everything they held dear. In the hearts of the women of 'Canada, this old spirit flames anew today ! Gone are the heavy muskets, the log barricades but the love of freedom, the stubborn resolve to win through at all costs these things remain unchanged, unchangeable ! Grimly quenching their tears, mothers say "God bless you” to their fighting sons—everywhere young women are serving where, duty calls—the women of Canada are bound together in one, common cause. In thousands of Canadian homes, women are revising their family budgets, planning new economies, mak- ing extra sacrifices—so that more and more money will be available for the purchase of Victory Bonds. They know — these women of Canada — that every dollar loaned now means more tanks—more guns— more planes—more ships—more of everything which is needed to 'smash Hitlerism and bring Peace to all the family hearths of the world. - it National'War Finance Committee, Ottawa, Canada A43 be made at ''the, Court of Revision, or by the County Judge.
