HOT WEATHER IN WINGHAM
brings talk from the Business
Association members of endorsing
the principle that men should be
able to go to work in shorts , : .
The editor of the Advance -Times
an that town voices somewhat
dubious attitude , He says,
"personally we'll believe it when
we see it. 'However if the ladies
can get away with it there's no
reason why the men shouldn't . .
or is there? For our own
part .. we find Cli t '

shorts solution has been suggested
here, too , . .

Landmark Disappears
Snowden Barn Burns
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
Miss Rose Snowden's large barn,
an historic landmark, fell prey to
flames of unknown' origin early
Tuesday morning,
Miss Snowden was awakened by
little pigs squealing in the yard,
and voices under her window. She
heard someone say: "I guess no-
body lives here." She went to the
window and said: "Yes!" And a
man called: "Lady come down.
Your barn rn is on fire." (They were
Passing motorists, two couples,
who first noticed the flames,) As
she looked out, Miss Snowden
said that the whole barn just
seemed to go up in a burst of
flames. ,'(They could be seen for
eight Miles.)
It Was about Lour o'clock that
the Heyeld: lire Department re-
ceived a'call but the men could
do nothing but" protect the chicken
house. They stoodby for three
hours in case of a shift in the
wind. Fortunately the wind was
in the northeast and carried the
sparks away from the house and
Black -Top Sidewalks
Nearly Completed Here
New sidewalks a being applied
to the old shattered ones in town,
with great speed. Last night all
of the main walks in the down-
town area were covered with "hot
mix" . with the exception of the
Xing Street strip.
First application to the cement
sidewalk is patching of existing
holes and large depressions. Then
a truck drives upon the walk,
bearing a load of the hot mix,
With shovels, rakes anti spreaders,
the workmen level out the mater-
ial, making it of uniform thick-
ness, While 'one man tamps down
the edge to form a beveled edge at
the curb, a three -ton roller
travels back and forth over the
newly -laid top, forcing it into a
firm, smooth surface:
Then when it has settled for a
day or so, other workmen brush
on a thin layerof cement mixture,
using fine brooms for the job,
When this dries it leaves the sur -
tem :.grey, instead of black.
Working under the supervision
of Deputy Reeve Burton Stanley,
chairman of the public works
committee in charge of streets,
the men are doing the job swiftly,
and carefully. The Warren Pav-
ing Company, which also has the
job oflaying the surface of King

The largest barn in the district,
it was built in 1882 in the form of
an L. Two barns were placed to-
gether and raised on a stone
foundation, at on, and another one built
on the end. The stonework which'
has often been admired, was done
by two expert craftsmen, John and
Alexander Thompson, (who had
emigrated from Scotland) for Mrs.
B. Snowden. (At the time, the
late Robert Snowden was 15 and
the late Thomas Snowden nine
years of age). The small pig
house, also on a wall at the end
of the barn, was built by Miss
Snowden's father, Barnard Snow-
den, some time after he took up
the property in 1842.
Three years ago, the large builds
ing began to separate. Miss Snow-
den spent considerable money hav-
ing the two buildings drawn to-
gether again and reinforced with
a cement Wall. Timbers were also
replaced. The work was done by
Douglas Gemeinhardt.

Two. Clinton Girls
Enter Contest At
Seaforth Old Boys
Already two girls from Clinton
have decided to enter the Beauty
Contest in the. Seaforth Old Boys
Reunion celebration. "But", as
Mayor M. J. Agnew states, "That
is not enough, There are plenty
of pretty girls in Clinton, and we
should have at least ten from our
town entering the contest in Sea -
forth.
The prize," commented Mayor
,Agnew, "is an all -expense paid
weekend trip to New York City,
and that would be a very nice
thing for any girl to win,"
Chairman of the Chamber of
Commerce here, Bert Gliddon, was
first interested in the project, and
through his suggestion a notice of
the contest was placed in this pap-
er. Results of this note, hasbeen
two entrants. However, as Bert
says, "We should be able to find
more girls than .that to enter the
contest. Clinton and district girls
are as pretty as those to be found
anywhere else."
Girls wishing to enter the eon -
test should leavetheir names,
along with a.picture pf themselves,
with either Bert Glidden, or with
Mayor M. J. Agnew. They will
be forwarded to the authorities in
Seaforth, who will contact the
entrants, direct. See advertise-

Dinner was served in the cafe-

were good enough to make do with
box lunches so that the 4-H Club
tour could eat comfortably.
Eight buses then took the well-
fed group through the city to the
parliament buildings, Again a
police escort led the way, holding
traffic at each corner so the par-
ade of 4-H-ers could proceed swift-
Ile without stopping at red lights.
At the pail lent buildings,
several group pictures were taken
of the 500 as they stood on the
wide steps, Then came a trip to
the legislative assembly room,
where 4-H ers sat in the seats of
the Members and filled all four
galleries. Trim girl guides, dressed
in navy blue skirts and scarlet
jackets showed the way, and. a

get statistics from his department
and 'compare Huron County with

From the chainbe, the group
walked, again with police escort,
to the Wellesley Street entrance
to the subway, where organization
and commonsense on everyone's
part made it possible for the 500
all to board the same train, for a
round trip to the north end and
back .to Union Station.
After a short wait, the group
boarded three street ears, reserved
for the purpose, and made the trip
to the Exhibition grounds for a

children against accepting rides

unduly, he does suggest that it is
a dangerous practice for young-

they do not know.
'In case juveniles are apprehend-

a ride, they are asked to make
note of the license number of the
car, and report it to Chief Thomp-

Master for the South Huron Dist-

Five carloads of local Masons
went from Hensall to attend the
affair, which was attended by
3,300 Masons from Canada, the
United States, Great Britain and
Australia. It marked 100 years
since the Grand Lodge of Canada

had originally been associated.

Cardiff Presses For
New Post Office Space
Elston Cardiff, Brussels, MP Mr
Huron, has again received assur-
ance from the Federal Govern-
ment that plans are under way to
improve post office accommoda-
tion in Hensall and Exeter.
Speaking in the House on Tues-
day, Mr.' Cardiff said that before
the election, it had been agreed
thatthe land was to be bought
from the` CM/ for a post office.
It was left to the Board of Trade
to have a building constructed,
following'kwhich the government
agreed to rent it for post office
purposes. It seemed that right
after the election the project was
forgotten Mr. .Cardiff wondered
what had happened to it.
The Hon. Robert Winters; min-
ister of public Works, said there
was a problem as to the site. Some
consideration was given to erect-
ing a building at Wellington and
Ring Streets in Hensall. But local
citizens, said Mr. Winters, includ-
ing
ncluding the reeve, expressed. the view
that the proposed site Was unsatis-
factory. Sincethen, the depart-
ment, reported ;Mr. Winters, had
been giving :consideration to a
more adequate site o`r to provid-
ing more adequate postal accom-
modation.
Mr. Cardiff said that sounded
reasonable. But had thee building
been constructed it would have
rented for ten years. After the
election: was over, the whole
scheme fell through and nothing
had been heard about it since,; As
long as he was the MP for that
particular riding, he represented
all the people in the riding, re-
gardless of politics, he said.
The Huron.MP said if there was
any political -angle in the situa-
tion, it would not backfire on him,
but on the government. He was
notconcerned with the political
aspects, but wanted something
done to provide adequate accom-
modation. He urged the minister
to send his engineers down. Ile
did not care who erected the
buildings. so long as it was built
to meet the needs of the people:.

Ia.,' Exeter
Mr. Cardiff urged action on
building the addition to the poste
office in Exeter, since it was much
to small. He said it could be
erected at .reasonable cost, and
said he hoped he' would not come
back to the House next year and
find nothing in the estimates to
cure the situation
The Hon. Mr. Winters assured
him that the property had been
looked at and preliminary sketch-
es of the type of building that
might be suitable for Exeter were
being made.
