A reduction by one on the roll
at the Clinton Pulic School, leaves
the total enrohnent at 475 in Feb-
ruary, according to the principal's
report presented to the Board at
last Thursday's meeting. All mem-
bers of the Board were present at
this meeting.
Estimates of finances needed to
operate during 1954 were present-
ed, and the total was slightly larg-
er than last year. However, sec-
retary H. C. Lawson stated that
the grant which is based, on popu-
lation of the tovvn;:would this year
be based on 44 per cent rather
than 40 per cent, since Clinton's
population is now over 2,500.
The offer of the Town Couneil
of the old school bell for erection
on the property at the new school
was accepted and the Board
agreed to assume all costs of do-
ing the job.
Concerning repairs needed to
the floor in one of the classrooms,
and to. the terazza floor at the
north end of the corridor, Royce
Macaulay, chairman of .the prop-
erty committee stated that the
architect and contractor were as
suming the responsibility for this,
and would no doubt be looking
after thework at an early date.
Anticipating a scarcity of teach-
ers and a possible difficulty in fil-
ling vacancies occurring this
spring, the Board considered an
application of a rural teacher, and
instructed the study and welfare
committee to hire the teacher if
possible, One additional teacher
will be\required, in September,
since it is quite possible that the
extra classroom will be opened
then.'
J. Murphy, for the purchasing
committee, reported the purchase
of a combination radio and record
player. C. Dixon presented a list
of supplies required for the sports
program at the school which he
stated could be kept under the
budgeted -for expense of $400.

Speaking for the St. Andrew's
Presbyterian Church, A. -F, Cud -
more mentioned a number of small
chairs loaned by his church to
the Board for .use in the kinder-
garten then located in the Ontari
Street United Church. He said
that they were not at either his
church nor at Ontario Street, and
as far as he could see they were
not in the new school. George
Levis offered to investigate with'
Mr. Cudmore to see if they could
not be found,

Fire - which is thought to' have
been caused by a discarded cigar-
ette broke out in an unoccupiedui

house at the corner of Isaac and
Dunlop Streets on Friday morn-
ing.
The house just recently
purch-
ased by Mr. and Mrs.; George Glaz-
ier'has been vacant for approx-
imately one month while changes
were being made before the new

that ,the cash crop farmer, would
have to be an expert if he intended
to keep his top -soil built up.
Professor Nelsgn dealt with the
minimum size of .faun needed to
make a living. He said that on
this question you have to think.
of the type of farming that is
being done, Taking a farm; that
is predominately concerned with
stock raising he said that his de-
partment had made a survey on
the subject and it was felt that a
farm of 70 acres plus enough pas-
ture to carry the cattle, proper-
ly
'f p ro p
ly managed, should be sufficient
to make a living.
Professor Robertson, discussed'
father and son agreements on the
farm and told of some of the pro-
blems that he has dealt with in
his work. He pointed out that
father and son should see eye to
eye and not fifty years apart.
Professor Nelson said that in a
study if farms in Ontario showed
that the father -and -son arrange-
ment on the farm occurs only in
the better farms, one third of the
farms.

el discussion, prizes were present-

In reply to the question con-
cerning the preference between
grassland farming and cash crop,
Elgin Rowcliffe felt that cash'
crops were most important as far
as he was concerned. He said
that south of No. 8 highway the
situation was different from that
in the northern sections of the
county ,and hi the southern town-
ships cash crops have a definite
place.
Mr. Cruickshank felt that where
his farm was situated that it was
not suited to cash crop farming.
He concentrated on stock raising
and dairy farming. George Rob-
ertson said that he had started
cash crop farming as a sideline
but found that as the years went
by the "sideline" was taking over
the farm. E. H. Strong had noth-
ing to say against cash crops but
he had been successful under the
present system and could see no
reason to change. He thought

Father and Son Banquet Revived
In St. Andrew's Church, Bayfield
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
A father and son banquet held
in St. Andrew's United Church
basement on March 12 under the
auspices of the Willing Workers
was well attended and a good
meal served by the members of
the organization was very much
enjoyed. The Rev. Peter Renner
as master of ceremonies, proposed,
the toast to the Queen to which
all responded by singing the Na-
tional Anthem. The toast to the
fathers was given by Ted Dunn to
which Russell Grainger responded.
Don MacKenzie gave the toast to
the sons and Grant Turner replied.
Each father introduced his own
son, some had "borrowed" sons for
the evening, the introduction of
whom caused considerable merri-
ment and witty comment. Ken
Merner stated that it was 20 years
since he, had attended a similar
banquet there with his father and
commented on how few of the
fathers present then were here
now. One was James R. Stirling,
who on that night 20 years ago
had contributed a song and he
called on him to sing again. Mr.
Stirling obliged with "Lock Lo-
mond." One man present thought
they ought to have a mother and
daughter banquet. A' sing -song
followed, led by Grant Turner with
Mrs. B. Kingsbury at the piano.
Russell Grainger introduced the
guest speaker, Fred Peel, Sea -
forth, who showed pictures he had
taken on a tour of Great. Britain
and European countries including
many of beautiful churches in
England and Scotland. These were
very much appreciated by the
audience.
