00Wm tax free Clinton Council briefs
The main street has
had its annual"- beauty
treatment as the planters
have once again made
their appearance,
complemented by the
hanging pots from the
lampposts. Members of
the Businessmen's
Association and Clinton
Horticultural Society
combined tlrir efforts
and talents to produce the
pleasing results.
Now if the few who
insist on using the
planters as garbage
receptacles could only
distinguish the difference
(the latter are big, white
and blue cans
strategically placed on
the street) and refrain
from using the former as
miniature dumps, then
the efforts of these public
spirited citizens will have
been very worth while.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Cochrane recently
returned from spending a
week in New York City
with their son, Dr. Alan
Cochrane, who is em-
ployed by,the New York
University School of
Medicine.
While in New York,
they enjoyed the New
York Philharmonic
Orchestra and New York
City Ballet at Lincoln
Centre - saw "Hello
Dolly" on Broadway and
visited the Metropolitan
Art Museum and St.
Patrick's Cathedral.
They took a cruise to
Staten Island, past the
Statue of Liberty, also
enjoyed the spectacular
view from New York City
110 storey Trade Centre
building and shopped on
5th Avenue.
It was another grand
homecoming for Mrs.
Edna Baker, Raglan
Street as she returned to
England for a month's
visit in May. Her
travelling companion
was Mrs. Adelle Jervis,
Isaac St. on her first trip
abroad.
For three weeks they
visited in Edna's former
haunts of Devon while
renting a cottage in
Brixham. Adelle found
Devon a pastoral charm -
old, quaint, densely
populated, beautiful and
with very friendly people.
They were entertained
by Lil and Tom Rose,
Edna's former neigh-
bours; Stella and
Maurice Hemming - Mrs.
Hemming was Mrs.
Baker's former choir
mistress; also Edna's
Aunt Alice and Uncle
Frank, both very spry at
88 and 89 respectively.
Edna and Adelle then
journeyed north to
Burton -on -Trent to
Edna's brother and
family, Jim and Doris
Thurgood with children
Harry and Pauline.
For three days Adelle
visited in Nottingham
with Mrs. Louise Persan
Blanchard and family,
formerly of Clinton. They
wish to say hello to their
friends in Clinton.
Side trips were made to
the Roman city of Bath,
Stratford -on -Avon and
Exeter, The Cotswolds,
and Bourton on the
Water.
Both arrived back in
Clinton June 1 with a
suitcase full of exposed
films and minds over-
flowing with happ,y
memories.
Over the past weekend,
Wynne Homuth and
daughter, Bonnie, (Mrs.
Jeff Horton) of West Hill,
Toronto, were part of the
4,000 voice "Billy
Graham Crusade Choir."
The Crusade will be in
Toronto for 8 meetings
the first of which took
place last Sunday at 3
p.m.
Rehearsal was
Saturday night in Maple
Leaf Gardens and
musical director, Cliff
Barrows, really put them
through their paces for
21/2 hours. Prior to the
Sunday meeting there
was another hour-long
rehearsal.
Seeing the hundreds of
people come to the front
for special instruction
was indeed a moving and
exceptional experience.
++
Evidently one that
didn't get away was a 11/2
lb. perch - 14" long
caught at Goderich last
weekend by Harold East,
R.R. 4, Clinton.
The Seaforth-
Dashwood Community
Band will play this
Friday, June 16 at 7 p.m.
at Huronview and then in
Clinton Library Park at 8
p.m. the same evening.
Well this Sunday is
Fathers' Day and all you
heads of households or
household heads (terrible
description - sounds like
something out of the
hardware section) well
anyway - all you Dads
become "knights in
shining armour."
The Clinton Council on
Monday night passed the
1978 police budget of
$149,126. In 1977 the
budget was $129,000 and
$121,000 was the actual
figure.
Deputy Reeve Frank
Cook noted that the
budget is higher this year
because a new cruiser
was just purchased at
$4,800 and for the new
radio communications
system, Clinton will pay
$7,600.
He also added that a
provincial grant of
$31,000 may be received.
As well $16,000 is paid for
the transportation of
prisoners and $2,000 is
paid for lirencinP.
Council carried a
motion to allow the
ministry of tran-
sportation and com-
munication to change the
speed limit signs in the
east end of Clinton.
In 1962, the speed limit
along Ontario Street to
Smith Street was set at 30
mph (50 km) then out to
Epp's Sales and Servide
the limit was set at 45
mph (70 km) and then up
to 60 mph (90 km) upon
leaving the town limits.
However with the high-
way speed limit reduced
to 50 mph (80 km) it was
decided to change the 70'
km limit to 80 km until
Ransford Street, then
drop down to the in -town
speed limit of 50 km.
Council has given the
Chief of Police, Lloyd
Westlake authority to
post a No Parking sign in
the alley beside the town
hall. Presently cars are
nnrkin7 in thnt fire one.

Plans are underway to
have an official opening
ceremony for the Clinton
grandstand.
It was suggested that
the town look into the
possibility of having a
Wintario draw under the
year-old , structure. It is
hoped that the opening
can be held in conjunction
with the construction of
the new arena floor and
perhaps a dance could
also be held. The Kin-
smen will also take port
in the , opening
ceremonies.
+++
Council recommended
an application of
severance to the com-
mittee of adjustment
from William Kotar for
the severance of parcel 1,
lot 50 on the east side of
the Bavfield Road, and
tor parcel 2 on the same
lot.
+++
Building permits were
issued to: D. Colquhoun
and W. Sterling, house
addition, $15,000; Lorne
Brown, change of roof,
$4,000; Murray Taylor,
sun deck, $780; Lloyd
Poelman, garage, -$2,000;
Fabian Furniture, ex-
-tension of showroom,
$5,000.
+++
Council concurred with
a resolution from Stoney
Creek which rejects the
recommendation of a
review commission to
comprise the
municipalities of Stoney
Creek, Ancaster,
Flamboro and Gland -
brook Townships into one
large municipality of
Hamilton -Wentworth.
Michael Carter, of James Street, Clinton, enjoyed
his first Wintario win with the May 25 Wintatio
draw. Lucky ticket number 18802 in series 34
brought the Clinton resident a prize of $10,000.
Michael and his wife, Mary, plan to put the money
in the bank.
Outreach aids foundation
The Van Egmond
Foundation of Seaforth
has requested, and
received, the aid of the
Rural Development
Outreach Project of the
University of Guelph at
Van Egmond House this
summer.
Marlene Turnbull of
Seaforth, a recent fine
arts graduate from the
University of Guelph, will
be working at Van
Egmond House
cataloguing the historical
documents on the Van
Egmond family, as well
as maintaining the
grounds and showing
visitors through the
house.
Miss Turnbull's work in
organizing and indexing
the historical material
will help the Foundation
to meet the criteria for
restoration grants from
various sources such as
Wintario and the Ontario
Heritage Foundation. In
addition, she is actively
seeking a local youth
group to carry on the
maintenance of the
grounds and to act as
guides when her work is
finished at the end of the
summer: Thousands of
hours of volunteer work
from members of the
community have gone
into the restoration of
Van Egmond House over
the past seven years, and
much still remains to be
done.

Firemen hold picnic
Somewhere between
Mother's Day in May and
Father's Day inJunethe
Clinton Firemen and
wives hold Children's
Day, otherwise known as
the annual picnic.
This much looked -
forward -to event was
held June 11 at the
Clinton Bayfield Con-
servation Park. Unlike
last year when a fire was
needed in the pavilion to
make the picnic more
enjoyable, the day was
indeed a rare one. A '
blazing sun, tempered by
a welcome wind ensured
that many of the pic-
nickers went home
looking less like
palefaces and more like
Indians.
Doug and Berva
Cartwright and Doug and
Irene Cantelon are to be
commended for the
outstanding job they did
of organizing games,
contests and races and
for their slection of
suitable prizes. Every
- child is assured of taking
home a prize but the
winners and runners-up
in the events are further
recognized with the
presentation of ribbons.
There was a mystery
prize and Frnartie
guessing contest for
young and old, but the
young took it all, par-
ticularly Greg Finch. For
the mystery prize he was
right on with a guess of
toilet tissue and for the
smarties, he and Vicki
Peck tied at 218, the exact
number, but on a tie -
breaking choice of
numbers Greg came
closest and was declared
winner.
The races are always a
big thing for the kids and
there is nothing ,like
starting them young.
Fifteen -month-old Danny
Groves covered a
distance of all of ten feet
to toddle over the finish
line well ahead of year-
old Rachel Jertkins.
Other races were as
follows: ages 3 - 4, run-
ning -- Debbie Draper,
Scott Jewitt, Stacey Reid,
Brandi Schoenals, Jared

Nearly forgot to
mention that there was a
peanut scramble and a
hunt for hidden dimes,
the winners being those
who managed to acquire
the most.
Husbands selected
their wives' shoes from a
very untidy pile and Ross
Jewitt might have been
the winner except he
brought back the wrong
pair. Dean iReid came
close. His only mistake
was in bringing back two
left-footed shoes. Better
luck, next year!
Last, but not least, was
a tug-of-war. Yours truly
neglected to obtain
names of who were on
which team so we cannot
elaborate on detail.
Suffice to say that there
was no conservation of
energy inthis depart-
ment and the team
having Clayt Groves as
their anchorman
managed to bring the
mighty musclemen ! (?)
anchored (?) by Al Finch
to their respective knees!
After so much activity,
everyone was more than
ready for the breaking
open of the picnic
baskets. Perhaps,
because it grew very
windy, but I believe more
because of hunger, no one
lingered long over eating
and all too quickly we
were packed up and
heading for home, a very
satisfied and happy
group. - by Marion Peck
