Town Council Refuses Police Requests ReWages; Stay y a •-e ; With Earlier Terms was" presented: "that the wages of the police constables be increased $50 over 1954, and anallowance of $20 be made to each man for a telephone which must be maintain- ed, and an allowance of $100 to be. made each lnan for extra work done to police the town while re- lieving for summer vacations of the other two men; that two weeks annual leave be allowed each man at no extra expense." This motion had no support. Mayor Agnew: The only Way in which we can see our way clear to raise wages, would be to cut the force to two men. I have become accustomed to doing nasty jobs— I've become hardboiled. Are you agreeable to this? Coun. Shaddick: Seaforth and Wingham each have two men. Coun. Irwin: I agree: If you pay two good men a little more, you'll get as much 'satisfaction as from three. Reeve Crich: This is the only way to Cut down. Agree to try a two-man police force and see. Colin. McIntyre: You have three men hired. In anticipation: with only two men, you'll need a third man to fill in. You'll pay just about as much, and there'll be more uniforms, etc. I'd say, leave this decision to the police commit- tee. If the men resign, it is up to the police committee to hire more men. Let them bring in a recom- mendation and we'll be glad to support it. Mayor Agnew: We're asking for a directive. I had, felt that this matter was all decided in com- mittee. I did not hear a dissent- ing voice. Now we come to council and find two men are not in favour. Colin. Beattie: A two-man police force means one and a half-Inil1s. I believe we have a good police committee. Let them deal with it. Cdun. Gliddon: Remember the last two-man force we had. This may not work out. Deputy Reeve Stanley: The vote has carried, I don't .see that we can do much now until the police have, been contacted. Then sug- gest, if necessary, that a two-man force be tried. Coun. Knights:1 believe it would be a step backward. The plan I've suggested would cost very little more. I don't believe we'll be satisfied with a two-man force. Coun. McIntyre:. I guess the minority must go with the major- ity. (ContinuedfromPage One) Clinton. In 1954, $6,500 was re- ceived from the PUC, and only $3,000 may be expected in 1955• Council figures on saving $1,000 at the dump, where A. Fulford has been hired at the rate of $20 per month to keep the place tidy; and another $1,000 in the public works department by not hiring the fourth part-time man. However, keeping within the 74 mill rate of 1954, the additional costs will mean a cut of ten percept to all other governable expensee. With- out these cuts, a mill rate of 77.5 would' be predicted. With these facts presented, some discussion took place. Coun. Knights: We must stay within the 74 mills if possible. 1 owever, I feel we should com- promise. Would suggest spending $300 to cover holiday wages. I feel the telephone idea is dictatorial, and would suggest $30 allowed each constable to cover this cost. Coun. McIntyre: It is hardly fair to ask these men to work for less money this year. Other employees have had their wages raised. This motion cuts the chief's salary b,' $170, and the others by $100 each. The figures for last year show. an expense of $11,000. If you have to hire two or more policemen, what about the advertising cost to get them? and more council meet- ings to hire them? There has been fault found with the police department, but there has been no serious crime in Clinton—I think it is policed very well. The chief has the youngsters well organized. The Clinton Police Boys Rifle Club helps to keep the boys off the street. The chief's teaching some of them some manners. Are you going, to ask a man like that to take less money this year? I'm in favour of Coun. Knights's idea. Certainly the police should protect the town all the time, and at no extra pay. I believe it good busi- ness to leave well .enough alone. Coun. Beattie: Our letter stated conditions to the police. You have the motion. I would ask for the yeas and nays. (Here two councilors requested the floor, and Mayor Agnew ruled them out of order). Reeve Crich, Deputy, Reeve Stanley and Councillors Beattie, Irwin, Gliddon and Shaddick voted in favour. Knights and McIntyre were against. Here a metlon made by Coun.

Results of the February 1 vote in School Section 8, Goderich Township, showed only 26 in fav- our of joining with the village of Bayfield in building a new and larger school. Forty-eight voted against the move. It had been proposed that since a new school was needed in Bay- field to accommodate• increased en- rolment and because the old build- ing was in need of repair, it would be feasible to have two or more school sections in that location join to form an area, sending all pupils to a new four -room school in Bay- field. SS 8 is the only section yet to vote upon the proposal. - At present SS 8 is closed. Eight yearsago enrolment dropped to four pupils, and since then the children have been transported by bus to the Bayfield school. Now there are 18 pupils in the section. According to Charles Wallis, secretary -treasurer of the school section, this action by the voters may mean the of the more than 80 -year-old school building. Extensive renovation will be needed if this is done. Fraser Stirling is chairman of the school. board. - HOSPITAL WORKMAN SAVES BUILDING FRO1%1 FLAMES Martin Stensen, part-time em- ployee at South Huron Hospital, Exeter, carried a smouldering chesterfield out of the building to avoid a possible fire. Exeter Times -Advocate. The Kinsmen Club celebrated vice-presidents , night with- Mait, Edgar taking charge of the regular meeting on Tuesday evening. Dr. H. A. McIntyre was the guest speaker and gave a very enlighten- ing and informative talk on the fluoridation of water and its ef- fects on the dental health of the people in the centres where this is in use. He told of the 'high costs of the student who wished to become a dentist, stating that tuition fees were $1,500 per year for five years. On top of that a student must have $3,000 worth of instruments while he is taking his course and upon graduation will need an additional $10,000 for equipment needed to open a prac- tice. Dr. McIntyre said that there were approximately. 707 dental students in Canada at present with close to 70 graduating in Ontario each year. Thhe • speaker was in- troduced by K W Colquhoun and thanked by Bill Hearn, Deputy District Governor Ken Pennington attended the meeting and spoke to the club. He urged his audience to plan to attend the zone conference which will be held in Goderich on March 20. Deputy Governor Ken asked the Clinton Kin to consider nominating a can- didate for the deputy governor post for next year. Kin Pat Paterson, Goderich, an- other guest, told the Clinton Kin about the Octogenarian Club that the Kinsmen Club of Goderich have formed. He displayed a scrap book that outlined the history of the octogenarian movement since its beginning and clearly showed all those present the enjoyment that the Goderich Kinsmen have given to the older people of their community. Decide On Car The main topic of the "business meeting was the report of the committee set up to purchase a 1955 automobile that will, be raf- fled on the big day planned for the third Wednesday in August. The committee's recommendation that the club purchase a Plymouth "Hard ToD" with the tickets sel- ling for 50 cents, four for $1, was accepted. Delivery of the car is expected in the near future.
