Increase Explained
"If the people of the town want
the services, the people will have to
nay for thein," Coun. Agnew com-
mented. He explained that extra
money was needed to pay for the
furnace in the Town Hall ($2,300)
ordered in 1945 and to be paid for this
year, that the Board of Education
required more money, that provision
had to be made for a grant to the
hospital, and payment for work done
in the park which had been carried
over es a deficit.
Coun. C. H. Epps felt that the de-
tails of extra expenditures should be
brought out.
Reeve G. W. Nott said two mills
had heen addc'I on account of the
1'ospitel. The County Council grant
should be backed up by the torero.
The furnace should have been started
last spring and the bill hadn't been
received yet. There was a loan to
the park of two mills. "There are
six milk right there," he declared. "As
far as I am concerned we're going, to.
pay our way and not leave anything
until next year,"
The motion to set 95 mills carried
unanimously.
Wingham 50 Mills
By comparison, Wingham Town
Council struck the 1946 tax rate at 50
mills on the dollar at Monday night's
meeting. Wingham has a higher- per
capital assessment than Clinton, it

New Type of Pet Here
Something new in the way of
pets are five Canada geese just
received by Wilfred Glazier, R.R.
4, Clinton, from the Jack Miner
Bird Sanctuary near Kingsville.
They are within a wired -out
poultry fence ten rods square on
the Glazier farm on King's High-

so that they cannot fly away.
The five birds -consisting of
two ganders and three geese -
were wounded last fall, but their
wounds are all healed. They were
shipped here from Kingsville last

active part in the 'Bugle Band. The
same procedure will be followed this
year.
G. W. McGee is in charge of the
Boys' division while Miss Helen Brown
is looking after the girls' part in
the day's events.

ing and drilling, there are to be special
demonstrations of First Aid, .Signal-
ling and Physical Training.

Hayfield' Now in Fish Dinner Era;
Two Tons Caught in Single!Haul
(By our Bayfield Correspondent).
The fishermen wore long faces on
Monday' morning and not without
cause for they were offered only six
cents for their large catches of perch;
which had been bringing 16 and 17
cents a pound.
W. John McLeod had 3,100 lbs..
packed for shipment. However, before
the day was over they had all disposed
of their fish at prices ranging from
eight to 12 cents.
On Tuesday perhaps the largest
catch of perch ever^ to be brought.
into Bayfield -at leant for many a
year -was estimated to be about five
tons. The Ingest single haul -was
made by Toms Bros. and was between
8.500 and 4,000 lbs.
One fisherman said that there, were
fish everywhere. The docks were
literally covered with them. It looks
as -if there'd be Plenty of fish dinners!
Who Knows? Snow May Yet
Fall in Large Bundles
Gordon W. Cuninghame, CNR
Express Agent here, has been
delving into his weather records
a few years back. Hold your fire!
Eight inches of snow fell on
April 11, 1939, and there was a
blizzard in this district on April
13, two days later!
Hut the spring of 1940 was
renally • something! There was a
snowstorm, with the biggest fall
of the winter on Good Friday,
March 29, 1940; and all roads in
this section were blocked. The
hiehwav to Wingham was blocked;
March 25, and a railway plow was
stuck near Blyth March 26.
And today is. only April 4!
