Kitimat Film Is
Well Attended
Despite Blizzard
Even though Clinton was suffer-
ing the worst blizzard of the win-
ter season there was a good at-
tendance at both showings of a
• very interestirig and educational
fibn in Ontario Street United
Church last Thursday evening.
The film, brought to Clinton
through the efforts of A. J. Mc-
Murray on behalf of the Men's
Club, dealt with the mammoth
Kitimat project now under con-
struction M the interior of British
' Columbia, and gave those who at-
tended some idea of what men
and machines can accomplish.
The Men's Club also sponsored
films that were shown to students
at Clinton Public School during
the afternoon.

men of the town was received and
appreciated, arid he praised the
ladies of the auxiliary for their
excellent help.

included taking part of the troop

style cabins built from materials
imported from Norway and from
British Columbia were completely
and warmly equipped for the use
of the Scouts.
The scolitmaster mentioned five
of the boys who were in line to
become Queen's Scouts, Arthur
'Tyndall, Ross Cudmore, Stephen
Brown, Gordon Scribbins and Kel-
vin Jervis.
The guideleader, Miss Gibbs,
(RCAF Station Clinton) was un-
able to attend, but Mrs. L. G.
Winter spoke briefly concerning
the work of the guides in which
there were about 20 girls enrolled,
and mentioned the need for a lead-
er for the Brownie pack.
Others introduced by F/S Ling
were Ken Cervantes, Cubmaster
Tom Darling, Assistant Scout-
master McKenzie and badge ex-
aminer Douglas Hardy. L. G.

C of C Proffers
Support To
Industrial Board
At an informal discussion meet-
ing held yesterday afternoon in C.
Staniforth's store, members of the
Clinton and District Chamber of
Commerce executive were approa-
ched by R. Y. Hattin, former may-
or of Clinton, and now chairman
of the newly -formed Hut. on
Count y Industrial Promotion
Board. Mr. Hattin asked for the
support of the chamber in the
workings of the new board and
though there were not enough
members of the executive at the
meeting for a quorum, and no of-
ficial pledge of co-operation was
given, the men indicated their
wish to support the Board as
much as possible.
President M. McAdam conduct-
ed the meeting, and others present
were vice-president and chairman
of the industrial committee, L. G.
Winter; past president H. E. Hart-
ley;. treasurer O. Edgelstad;
chairman of the retail merchants
committee, C. Sta.niforth, end the
secretary, W. D. Dinnin.
Following lengthy discussion of
the need in Clinton for some body
in authority to present the ad-'
vantages of Clinton as a site for
industry, mention of the annual
and re -organizational meeting in
April was made. It is expected
that this will take the form of a
dinner meeting when a well-in-
formed speaker will be engaged.
Clinton Legion

The Clinton Branch of the
Canadian -Legion stood first in
this zone for selling the great-
est number of wreaths and
poppies last fall for Remem-
brance Day. According to D.

Court House Still County Support
Smoulders As Of New Board
Workm4n Search Is Evidenced
Despite rain Jand the snow which
blanketed Goderich throughout
last week, woeltmen found rubble
still smouldering in the ruins of
the old court house when they
began tearing down the west wall,
Two or three remaining vaults
were opened Saturday and the
contents 'Were found intact, as was
the last one opened on Sunday.
Some of the metal filing cabinets
packed tightnr with papers and
left alone until the weekend in
order that they could cool, were
opened only tb have the contents"
burst into flame as oxygen reach-
ed the heated interior.
Thus the sudden fire which dose
to two weeks ago destroyed the
century -old Court House continued
to smoulder, as did the discussions
of the people ef the various muni-
cipalities in the county. Follow-
ing Clinton's suggettion that the
new Court House could be built
here, a suggestion came from
Bayfield_for a• consideration of the
"prettiest village" as a possible
site, and from Blyth came -the sug-
gestion that since that village was
once the location for the country
registry office, and it also had a
central location in the county, per-
haps the County louildings•could be
re -located there.
Meanwhile an emergency meet-
ing 'of the County Council is slat-
ed for some time next week, when
the matter will receive discussion.
According to /Goderich authorities
delay in callieg the meeting has
been necessary because there were
not enough chairs available to seat
the members' of the council.

Support of the newly -formed
Huron County Industrial Promo-
tion Board is being evidenced, by
early compliance, with the Board's
request for funds- from the muni-
cipalities of the • county. L. D.'
Holland, secretary -treasurer of the

Mr. Gregg cited cases of hockey

because they couldn't meet the
expenses asked by these players.
He could not see how some teama
were still carrying on, At the

will 'urge the group to go back to'
the "homebrew" type of sport. Mr.
Gregg said there was now talk of

Canada's entry, by Russia, in the

den. The ORA president said "If
we are going to send a team te
world hockey tournaments, why
not send our best team." He sug-
gested that players be picked from
all across Canada, and properly
coached, to send against the Euro-
pean teams. "Hockey is our na-
tional game, and I think our gov-
ernment should back the. teams
we send into world tournaments,'"
Mr. Gregg said.
