Clinton to buy new tractor
After a lengthy, debate last
Wednesday at a special
meeting of Clinton Town
council, the town will have a
new tractor with which to
clean sidewalks.
The special meeting was
called after Mayor Harold
Lobb and Public works
chairman Ernie Brown
learned that the town's newly
purchased $1,600 sidewalk
blower wouldn't work on the
existing sidewalk V -plow
tractor.
The problem stems from
the fact that. ' the current
tractor, bought only three
years ago, doesn't have a
"live" power take off (PTO)
and it's impossible to blow
snow without moving the
tractor ahead.
Council decided to buy a
new tractor for $14,000, less

By Rene Brochu
Last Saturday evening the
Legion played host to the
Country Singles Club who
held a social gathering of
single people between the
ages of 18 and 80, with the
guests travelling from as far
away as Owen Sound,
Brantford, Kitchener, London
and many r other distant
places.
The Country Companions
supplied the music which
everyone seemed to enjoy .as
the dance floor was crowded
shoulder to shoulder most of
the time. There was an
engagement notice of one of
the most attractive ladies as
well as birthdays celebrated;
soon, wedding bells will again
ring for one of the members
of the Country Singles Club.
As usual the executive,
which consists of Irene
Okahashi, Betty Cardno, and
Vicki Horbaniuk, put on a
delicious lunch for the
gathering, which terminated
the Legion
$9,000 for the old one, from
Ray Potter Ford Equipment.
The new model is the same
size as the old one, but
features a "live" PTO, more
gears, and better hydraulic
systemt.
The $5,000 extra cost will go
on this year's budget, and had
finance chairman Roy
Wheeler upset. "We can
(only) afford it if we can
afford to put taxes up. People
aren't using the sidewalks
anyway."
"I said it before and I say it
again, I think we have a
moral obligation to keep the
sidewalks `clean," said
'Councillor Ron McKay.
"We just paid $51,000 for a
new grader," said Councillor
Wheeler. "We'll have to raise
the taxes to pay for all this
new equipment."
A local step dancing group, called the "Black Magic"
will be appearing on the Tommy Hunter TV show this
Friday night. The girls are, left to right, Pat Stackhouse
of Londesboro, Becky McKinley of Zurich, and Kim
