Family of Skunks Make Themselves at Home Members of an ambitious fam- ily of skunks seem to like Clinton especiallythe residential section in the vicinity of the Presbyterian and lat. Paul's Anglican Church -but it is doubtful if Clintonians reciprocate fully. During the past few days, the skunks seem to be here, there and everywhere in the area east of Albert St., and from Batten - bury St. to Ontario St. It is be- lieved their home is in that imm edia,te vicinity. Walking down Rattenbury St. last evening, a local young man spied no less than four of the animals at one time, nonchalantly doing nothing and making no fuss about it. There wasn't a "dilly" one among them, he reports. Two County Scholarship Winners at U. of W. O.

WALLACE FLOODY EX -WAR PRISONER IS AWARDED OBE C. Wallace Floody, Toronto, has received word that he had been awarded the OBE (Order of the Brit- ish Empire). As yet there has been no official word av to why the decora- tam has been awarded. Mr. Floody was certainly a proud man when he received the word about this honour, as just two days previously he had become the peoud father of a baby son. 'Mr. Moody served in the Air Force in the late war, receivin.g his com- mission in May 1941 and immediately after, going overseas. He was a prisoner of the Nazis in Germany for almost four years and returned to Canada a little over a year ago. At present Mr. Floody in company with an air force friend Herbert Graham operates a chartered air ser- vice from the island airport in the City of Toronto. He can think of no reason why this award has been. given to him. Mr. Floody is a nephew of Mrs'. J. A. Sutter of town and has visited here on many occasions.

He said, "aly but that is a, very proud and elegant birdl" The farmer replied: "He should be; two of his sons just recently enfered the ministry."
