Report of Recent. Council Meeting
Completed; Permits and Police
Following is the balance of th
,story of Clinton Town Counc
meeting held last week, on Oc
tober 4.
Building. Permits
Building permits were( authoriz
ed for E. Galachuik, James street
$3,000,' residence; M. McAdam
Princess Street, $6,000, residence.
General Goveriunent•.
Deputy Reeve Mel Crich, chair
man of the general governmen
committee, reported a balance o
52,466.29 in his budget; and recom
mended the council chamber floor
have some work done. 'on it to
protect it from winter' wear. H
also suggested, repair of the front
doors. He was not in favour of
retarring the roof at present, since
it was not leaking. - Mr. Crich
advised Council' that he felt mat-
tresses and at least a quilt should
be provided for those transients
who made use of. the cells and the
council chamber for sleeping.
Both Reeve and'Mayor: indicated
no sympathy with. this idea.
Rifle Range
Request for a rifle range on
their property at Alma Grove by
the Huron Fish and Game Con-
servation Association was receiv-
ed, and Coun..Gllddon reported
that the' Police Department •had
investigated the site, and could
see no reason-, for refusing the re-
quest. -
Coun. 'McIntyre: Recall a few
years ago we had a military range
near here, There are quite- rigid
law governing them, 'Tice As-
secretion would have .to take full
responsibility for anything happen-
ing there,
Base Line Property
The Department of Highways
wished clarification of thedesires
of Clinton' Town .with `regard to
the windbreak property on High-
way 8, just south of the. A. J.
Deseck property.,
Council bad requested the De-
partment • to turn the property
back to the town. Meanwhile A.
J. Deseck had contacted the De-
partment wishing for the permis-
sion to purchase the same. Deputy
Reeve Crich had advised Deseck
that so far as he knew Council
would be more in favor of a pri-
vate individual owning the land
than to have it become town prop-
ert•
y. view of the fact that the
Town could acquire the land for a
nominal fee from the Department;
and of the fact that if the Town
did not acquire it, it would be
auctioned to the highest bidder, it
was decided that the town would
confirm their desire to own the
property and have the deal made.
In this regard, Mayor Agnew
said he felt It unfortunate that
e the original plans for the acquisi-
11 tion of this -property was made
public in the- press, arid` that a
private i
a e ndividual could have ve com-
pleted''the deal. quietly, without
anyone else knowing of it.
Coun Schoenhals reminded the
Mayor that at the time the matter
was discussed, . Mr. Deseck had
been present in the council chain

Farm Lands
The assessment on farm lands
within the corporation of -the Town
of Clinton were reduced' to 35 per
cent of the assessment as original-
ly set.This referred only to farm`
buildings. Residences on farm
lands within the town are assessed
an the same basis as other resi-
dences.
Police Conunittee
A balance of $3,000;:r'emains in
the Police Committee. Some dis-
mission -was raised over items' list-
ed on the expense account for the
committee,. and as bad become the
custom, the question was asked,
"Do they not buy anything for.
themselves""
Mayor Agnew defended the Clin-
ton Police. Department, recalling 'a
town in this part of the province,
with `about 1,000 more in popula-
tion, who hire five men, instead of
the three in Clinton, and their cost
was $25,000 in place of the $11,000
spent in Clinton. "We had quite
a situation' here a year ago," said
the Mayor. "These men we have
now, seem to have things pretty
well cleaned up,"
Coun, Giiddon mentioned that at
a largefuneral last week, there
was no policeman on hand to look
after the;lights at the main corner.
He, was advised that it was the
responsibility. of the funeral direc-
tors to make arrangements for
this work to be done.
A letter of appreciation which,
the Police Department had receiv-
ed from the RCAF Station Clinton
was read:
"On behalf of the RCAF Sta-
tion Clinton, may I extend sin-
cere thanks for the assistance
given by yourself and members
of your force, in directing traffic
on the occasion of the Battle of
Britain parade held on Sunday,
September 19. It . is extremely
gratifying to know that such a
splendid spirit of co-operation
exists between this station and
the Clinton Police Department.
Once again, our sincere apprec-
iation for your kind assistance,"
-F/O Hayter.

At RCAF Station
H, A. Gibbons of Blyth had prac-
tical experience in extinguishing
an oil fire with a dry chemical
extinguisher, recently. Realistic
training in firefighting is now be-
ing carried on at RCAF Station
Clinton, Mr. Gibbons is a Civilian
employee at this station;.and he,
along with the majority of civilian'
employees, are currently being
trained to fight fires and to use
the modern equipment employed
by the regular station fire section.
This training is being carried
out because many of the civilian
employees worst in areas or build-
ings where fires are likely to occur,
Often the persondiscovering a fire
can, with some basic knowledge of
firefighting, either put the fire out
or control .it until the regular fire-
men arrive, 'In this way these
employees can render valuable as-
Sistance in protecting government
property.

Canada's athlete . of the year was born
when 16 -year-old Marilyn Bell, a wholesome
slip of a high-school student, a girl who sings
in her church choir, seized the edge of a'boate
at the Toronto harbor -:front and was pulled
from the water, after swimming the cold,
treacherous breadth of Labe Ontario from
the 'United States ta. Canada,
'This Canadian girl, With,an immense heart in her -1,16-
pound '
body, gave a performance beside which almost every
other athletic featyou can recall pales into, insignificance.
Facing, competition from the gsfeat, established star, Florence
Chadwick, who had three times'swum the English Channel, as
well as breasting the Catalina Channel, the Bosporous and the
Dardenelles, little Marilyn .Bell's ^chances for success in .:this
cruel test of heart and' -body were rated sub -zero in advance
of the, race.
So, here was drama, here was stark courage, here was
unbelievable stamina and will-toewin. Imagination is shaken
as you try to picture; and analyze this tremendous 'feat. The
kid" started from the New York side of the lake before mid
night,
All through the black night she swam, with ley waters.
lashing into her face, blinding her, driving into her - ears. Slimy
eels were clinging t ,her' lege; fastening' their mouths upon her, '
n sickening' chapter of.the swim. Thus, all through the night,.
Came dawn, she was still swimming, battling her way
along. All day .she swam, with the sun higli, in the heavens,:'
*ea with dusir coming an. And still she swam -10 miles of, it,
they say, as lake amiaants carried her. here and there; Wareshe reached the share, after 21 hours .in icy water.
This rates the greatest athletic feat of the year in Canada,
and we're not forgetting the double 4 -minute mile in the Em
ire
Games
atV
Vancouver, ouver
as Bannister '
nnister and Landy, great Em-
pire athletes, both raced -within the unbelievable „circle, ;That
was a mighty feat, indeed. But, -after all, Bannister and
Landy each had run the mile in under' 4 minutes once before,
They were athletes who came up to the Games fully prepared,
trained to the minute. Froth 'either of them, perhaps not from
both, but from either, a 4 -minute mile was generally expected,
They were already famous. .
Bu this high-school kid, this Marilyn Bell, had never before
been heard of. Her entry into the race was impromptu, backed
we imagine by no concentrated scientific training. What train-
ing can a kld of 16 years do, besides a daily swim?
Her equipment, physically, as she entered into a gruelling
b'attie with the watery elements of the broad, cold lake, wer
just her natural. God-given courage, stamina and strength.
That's : what, in part, makes her performance so wonderful.
Canada's sports event of 1954.

New Burd Treatments
The origin.' of fire is unknown, but
it is probably safe to assume that
on the first day men learned to use
fire he burned himself. Man has
been scorching himself ever since
for burns are one ofthe moat com-
mon injuries, causing many, deaths
every year.
Burn's are classified as first, sec-
and Or third degree, according to
their severity.
Nor . First degree burns
y, affect only the
outer skin and are
� not usually seri-
ous. Second degree
burns cause biis-
tering'of the skin
and a third degree
burn charsthe
flesh.' a
Actually, the side,efsects of a se-
vere burn are more serious than the
wound ifself. Medical science, dis-
covering this ,only recently, has
come up with new treatments to
remedy shock And infections that
cause 80 percent of burnt fatalities,
To prevent shock, plasma or whole
blood and salt solutions—often 12 to
20 pints --are administered during
-the first 24 hours of care to restore
lost body fluids. Body resistance is
bolstered by administration of large
quantities of vitamins. Treatment'
of the burn may be either by cover-
ing it with bandage and ointment or
by the new "exposure" method
Where the wound -is allowed to dry
and heal in the open air. To prevent
infection of the uncovered burn, an
tibiotics such aspen ieillin and terra
myein are used.
Medical advances have also done
more than save burn victims'' lives.
New developments in shin grafting
and plastic surgery remove most of
the physic l traces of the injury to
hep return the patient to a normal
life,
