Clinton News-Record, 1946-04-11, Page 8PAGE EIGHT CLINTON NEWS -RECORD - LONDON MAJORS ELIMINATED BY PRESTON VETERANS London Majors, who eliminated Clinton Colts in the group semi-finals and then trounced Ingersoll Hellcats in a three -game series for the group title, bowed out of the OHA Inter- mediate "B" semi-finals by losing to Preston Legionnaires 15-6 in a two - game total -goal series. London lost the first game at Strat- ford Saturday night 7-2 before 2,000 fans, and again at Galt Monday night 8-4 before 1,800 spectators. Preston led 3-1 at thp end of. the first period, and 4-2 at the end of the second. Preston met Bobcaygeon in the first of the best -of -three finals at Barrie last .night, with the second game in Galt Friday. One thing that tickles the Clinton hockey fans is that the Preston team —just like Clinton Colts—is composed entirely of ex -servicemen. In both games, Preston outclassed the Londoners, who Were beaten but not disgraced after a long layoff. T S C. P.

COOPER ASKS FOR RENEWAL OF FIRE HAZARDS (Continued from Page One) - although the by-law requires it as well as its being very necessary. The town is divided into two fire limits. No. 1 is descrbed as follows: `.corner of Princess and •Orange streets along Orange to Wellington street, along Wellington street to Isaac street, along Isaac to Joseph street, along Joseph to Cutter street, along Cutter to Victoria, along Vic- toria to William street, along William street to Princess street, along Prin- cess to the line between lots 25 and the Town Park and thence west through the millyard to meet the line between lots 380 and 381 and lots 396 and 397 to Queen street,along g Queen street to Princess streetNo. 2 should include all of the municipality outside of Fire Limit No. i. Section 22 (a) read as follows— "No .person snail erect within Fire Limit No. 1 a wooden building or any wooden addition to a ,building, or erect or place within Fire Limit No. 1 any building other than with main walls of brick. iron, concrete, stone or other equally fire resistive mater- ial, and with roofing of incombustible material, except as hereinafter pro- vided." Section 32 (e) reads as follows— "The use of wood shingles or other form of combustible roof covering upon buildings hereafter erected or altered is prohibited within the muni- cipality, and no existing combustible roof shall be replaced except with in- combustible material. How Rules Observed For the purpose of ascertaining how these two regulations have been ob- served, I walked around No. 1 Section and made the following observations: More than a score of dwellings in this district have been reshingled with wooden shingles; One large building of solid con- struction 'has been remodelled, but, unfortunately wooden shingles were used on the roof. A small addition has been added but instead of being of solid construction like the main building, it is built entirely of wooden material, includng the shingles; Two old barns were allowed to be renovated, instead of being rebuilt to comply with the by-law. A coal and wood dealer has been allowed to construct buildings not permissible in Fire Limit No. 1. This dealer has a wooden shen for the storing of lumber, which is'a decided fire hazard; a coal shed built without even metal siding; two other coal sheds that are partly built on the street, as well as piles of lumber, shingles and wood all highly inflam noble. This entire plant should have been erected in the outskirts of the town. In several eases chimneys are not according to the by-law as outlined in Clause 34 and reads as follows: 34 (a) No person shall hereafter build or cause to he built in the municipality any chimney except of stone or brick laid in mortar or re- inforced concrete, unless lined with Iron or tile piping, in which case the stone, brink work or concrete shall not be less than four inches thick on all sides, exclusive of plaster. There are a number of old frame buildings in the rear of the business district which should be removed, as the create a. bad fire hazara. On the front street a so-called office building has been erected that does not reflect credit en the owner or the municipality. The town, I understand, sold the land on which this building is erected, at a price less than half of what the adjoining property is assessed for. They also gave permission to have the building erected, although Section 22 strictly forbids. such a building being erected. As a contrast to this so-called office building, we notice that two stores on CCF Plans,' Series • Meetings to ,Study Housing Problem C.C.F. Zone No. 9, which. is 'made up of the ridings of Huron -Perth, Perth, South Wellington, South and North Waterloo met at Stratford for their regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, evening, April 3. There was a great deal of discussion on the housing problem. Veterans of World War IS were particularly in need of immediate help, it was pointed out. It was also 'decided to sponsor a series of meetings in the various constituencies comprising the Zone at ,which there would be speakers who have made a study of the problem. 'Action by the Zone Executive pre- viously, has ledto an investigation by Emerency Shelter Administration u into the possibility of certain build- ings in the Town of Preston being remodelled as living quarters. Plans are being made to have clos- er relations between farmers and wage earner,s There is no reason why farm organizations and labour unions should not work together for the common good of all, it was stated. The next Zone meeting . is to be held in Exeter on Wednesday, May 1. W. L. Whyte Heads Firm Buying Seaforth Plant A large business deal was consum- mated in Seaforth when H. R. Spence and Son disposed of their large hold- ings in the egg grading, cold storage and produce business and killing plant. The. new firm headed by W. L. Whyte, R. R. 2, Seaforth, will be known as Seaforth Produce Ltd., ILA. Spence is retiring. but his son, G. A. Spence will remain as business man- ager for the new firm. During the past year the Spence firm handled 1,000,000 pounds of dressed poultry. Seventeen cars out of the 23 ears shipped were for ex- port. The furthest market for poultry were Galveston, and Houston. Texas. Albert street have been renovated by the use of proper material and fire- proof construction, and these have added greatly to the appearance of the block in which they are situated A taxi stand of frame construction and contrary to by-law has been built and placed in a prominent place on the main street. I understand this was conditionally approved by the Town Council, and should now be re- moved to comply with the regulations. Recalls Worst Fire About 40 years ago the Town suf- fered from the worst fire in its hist- ory when the MacPherson Hovey plant was completely destroyed. The buildings of the company were all of frame construction and the fire swept rapidly over the whole block, now occupied by the Clinton Creamery and Falconer Coal and Wood yards. The fire was not confined to this block but spread from building to building until it was thought the entire town was in danger. Outside fire depart- ments were brought in to help stop the fires, but not before the Rotten - bury Hotel had been burned. also a residence of Dr. Evare destroyed and with difficulty, many other places were saved from destruction, This fire was largely responsible for the town making strict regulations regarding the construction of new buildings, and especially the necessity of having the roofs protected by fire resisting material, Against Low Class Buildings It is only fair to the citizens who have erected substantial buildings that the erection of low class build- ings such as have been erected re- cently, should be prohibited. May I suggest that the Council give this Fire Prevention By-law the attention necessary to have the con- ditions fulfilled, and as soon as pos- sible the present hazards removed.

APRIL, 11, 1.94E Fine Goose and Gander "Exchanged" for Geese Police are investigating a peculiar theft which occurred at the farm of William J. Taman, R. R. 3, Goderieh. Mr. Taman was the possessor of a boy friend, who is at present being; held on charge of intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He .was em- ployed with a transport company in Clinton for a month during' the past winter. (fine goose and a gander, but in the morning he found that thieves had:• invaded his premises during the night ( and walked/ off with his two prized' birds, leaving in their place two geese. As the goose and gander were of prized breed, the owner has some ,doubts as to, the "honesty" of the, exchange. The birds left are `just geese,i' police were informed.
