IR' I'S " CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE " 1 MEMBERS OF COUNCIL GET DOWN TO WORK FOR 1934 Mayor Trewartha Commends Program of Economy To His Colleagues. Clinton is being served this year by the sante council which bore of- fice during 1933, Mayor N. W.;Tre- wartha, Reeve Geo. H. Elliott, Coun- tillors 0. L. Paisley, Fred Livermore W. Glen Cook, A, S. Inkley, W. S. R. e,Holmes, who were returned by accla, mation. This body met at eleven o'clock Monday forenoon, took oathof of- fice, appointed a striking committee, composed of Messrs. Holmes, Pais- ley and Livermore, to arrange ,com mittees for the year, and then ad - jimmied to meet again in .the even- ing. All were present at the evening session, Mayor Trewartha in the chair, 'and after the reading of the minutes of the last meeting he took occasion to congratulate the reeve and councillors on their election by acclamation, which was quite a change from ^ last'year, when two. elections had to be held and the year was quite advanced before a full .council got down to work. He said in listening to the inaug- ural addresses of mayors over the radio he had noted that the watch- word seemed to be'economy and he thought that would be a good watch, word for the Clinton, council. • He then read several items from a paper read by Mr. Bradshaw, for many years treasurer of the city of To- ronto at the thirty fourth meeting of the Municipal' Association, items which he thought applicable: to such a municipality, as Clinton, such as ad- vice as to the decrease. in expendi- ture, care in borrowing, and in the collecting •of, taxes; etc, Mr, Tree. •wartha expressed satisfaction that the town's financial year had been wound up with a small balanee on the right side of the ledger but he regretted the amount of taxes in ar- rears. Although ninety per cent of last year's taxes had been received there was a total of about $7,000 out- standing and an effort- would have to be made to collect these. He said the • building ofa new bandstand might come up this year, which would be some . expenditure, and al, so that the matter of relief was be- coming more insistent. It : was in- eieasingly difficult to refrain from handing out direct relief. He spoke of the work on the streets last year andapprovedthe plan of doing per- manent work on them. Hi idea wa that. the council would do well to keep within estimates for street work doing what could be done. each year, Having been brought up in Goderich township, where there was no deben- tare debt he was in favor of paying Mr. Trewartha again sroke of this being his last year as mayor. He hapedthat by next year some mem- ber of the council would be willing to step up, if that was the exbres. sien to use. A communication was • read from Mr. G. L. Hanly asking that a light be placed near his garage, his gaso- line .pump having been broken and gas taken en several occasions. , This was filed on motion of .Councillors Inkley and Cook, the decision being. that a light was not needed at :this spot. Mrs. G. Mair wrote asking that taxes be remitted on a house in Jos eph street, which had been' occupied by a man on relief for a good part of the year. This was filed on nee THE MARKETS Wheat, 60c to 68c, Barley, 30c to 37c. Oats, 82c. Buckwheat, 42s:•" Butter, 17c to8c 1 . Eggs, 14e to 18e.

By-law No. 1, 1934, a bylaw to appoint certain officers, was read three times and passed, the follow- ing officers being appointed: Messrs. Wiseman and Armstrong,` auditors;. Dr. Shaw a member of the Colle- giate Intitute board; G. H. Jeffer- son a member of the Public Library board arid. R. E. Manning a member of the B. of R. Bylaw No. 2, authorizing the may- or and treasurer to borrow money, as needed, up to $30,000, until taxes are received, wa's' also read three times and passed. - • The committees bad no reports, even the financial chairman failing. to respond, but no matter who fails at future meetings he will be on hand with a detailed report, as of yore. Reeve Elliott thought the whole council should look over the streets. as early in the spring as possible and decide what ought to be done, not leaving the whole responsibility upon the street committee. 'Chairman Livermore of the pro- perty committee thought some re- pairs would have to be made, the town hall roof being in need of some fixing. Chairman Inkley said he had look- ed over .the situation again and thought perhaps there was sufficient cemetery room for another sixteen years, at which some of the council- tors expressed great relief. But Mr, Inkley still thought the matter of extension should be considered .bei fore the space was actually needed. Chairman Walker of the charity committee reported two fernlike.' on relief. He said he was getting some Iong wood for distribution to those out of employment . as he thought they could employ themselves cut- ting it. Some discussion was indulged in as to complaints of citizens re water backing up in cellars. On motion of Councillor Palsies, and Reeve Elliott the whole council is to meet with the P.U. Commission todiscuss matters of. interest to both bodies. Councillor Holmes took occasion to congratulate Mayor Trewartha on his election as head .of the council. He said he felt that he was speaking for the whole council when he said he was delighted to have him in that position. Hs said he saw no real reason why .Mayor Trewartha should. not do as mayorsin other towns had done, return for . several, terms. His occupancy of the chair had been sats isfactory to, everyone; the business under his hand being conducted in a businesslike wadyand withoutfusa or friction. He would like to see him continue indefinitely. Councillor Holmes also suggested that a change ought to be made in legislation preventing indigent per- sons or families leaving . one muni- cipality for another, unless -they had some reasonable prospect of obtain- ing employment or bettering their condition by such a move. Ile thought it unfair that a municipality had to assume responsibility for a family simply because it came in from an- other municipality, where it had liv- ed and had its being' during prosper- ous *times. He thought the counei) might make some such a suggestion to the.

Their energetic manager, "Jer, ry" Holmes: lost two front teeth as a resultof a blow in the mouth from Brown's stick. This accident is highly regrettable and Jerry has the sympathy of players and fansalike whovisualize the kind can ureas ze of a diet Jerry will have until he gets some new molars. In the second game Livermore's Maroons administered a trouncing to Castle's Canadiens by a score of 4 to 1 i • • LEAFS WIN 4-3 The first period was scoreless with both teams feeling each other out. Lampman, McGlinchey and Streets were awarded penalties. Combe nar- rowly missed scoring on a beautiful solo effort. Cook opened the scoring and' Lavis Senator's goalie seemed inclined to argue ,but Referee McEw an overruled hint. McDougall tied the setae up on a shot from the blue line near the end of the period and when the gong rang for the second session both teams were on even footing. Wilson smothered some difficult shots and O'Brien missed a certain score. Dixon garnered the Senator's second goal when he beat Wilson easily. In a scramble in front of the net O'Brien back -hand- ed a difficult shot to even things up again. Combe put his team one up on a solo rush through the entire op- position, O'Brien again scored and knotted things up once more. Hol- mer drove in the winning goal on a lightning fast shot on which Lavis had no •chance. A few seconds later he lost his teeth and the game end- ed without further score. Leafs—Goal, 0.

JOYNER A familiar figure has 'disappeared from Clinton in the death, which oecurred at the home of his grand- daughter, •Mrs. W. C. Mbad, Kitchen- er, on Saturday, of Henry Joyner. Mr. Joyner had almost reached the age of ninety-six years, his birthday being in March, and until a few months ago he was able to go freely about the streets, indeed, until after he was ninety he busied himself looking after several gardens for people, being an expert gardener. But of late his friends noted a de- cided change in him. His sight was failing and he could not, get about as well as formerly. For sometime he has been with his granddaughter, Mrs. Mead of Kitchener. Mr. Joyner was born, at Bladder- s1ey-Clinton, Warwickshire, Eng. land. As a young man he worked as a conductor for the London, Eng- land greet Railways company, drive ing a horse car. At the age of nineteen he was married to Hannah Wheeler of his native village, and during their long life together they were devoted to each other. His wife died on Christmas Day, 1921. For some years they Iived in Lon- don then decided to come out to Canada with their young family, conning direct to Clinton, of which they had some knowledge and being no doubt influenced by the familiar- ity of the name. For a few years Mr. Joyner worked as clerk with the Hardware firm of Davis and Dearle but later.: he secured a small holding south of the railway, which is still best known to many as the "Joyner Property," but now occupied by Mr. Ii. E. Chapman, and engaged in mar- ket gardening. He retired from this about twenty years ago and since the death of his wife has spent the time between Clinton and Kitchener. He was a devoted member of St:: Paul's , church and when health per, mitted was a regular attendant at its services. Although he was failing in health he was •only confined to his bed for a 'few days,, He enjoyed Christman dinner with members of his family at Kitchener but even then his last illness was working on him and on New Year's Day he had to go to bed. Ile was always !.bright and cheer- ful and loved to meet and chat with old friends. He is survived by two sons, Henry in Estacada, Oregon; Frederick in Sntithville, Ontario; two daughters, Mrs. Fannie Matilda Webb, Tofield, Alta,, who had been visiting her daughter, Mrs. Mead and was with . her father during the last six months of his life, and Mrs. Rose Amelia Carter, Clinton.. Seven' grandchildren • and a number of great-grandchildren also survive:' The remains were brought to; Clinton by 'motor,' and the funeral took place • front • St. Paul's, the church -Inc so dearly loved, Monday afternoon, the service being con- ducted by the rector!, Rev. K. Me - Gouts. The service was largely at- tended and the presence and singing of the •choir added much to the im- pressiveness' of the service. The pallbearers were members of the Sons of England, Kitchener, who had been attentive during hisillness and who accompanied the remains. Interment was made In Clinton cem~e, tery. Those present from Kitchener in eluded Mrs. Fanny M. Webb, Mr, and Mrs, W. C. Mead, James. Mead and Billy •Mead, Mr. Ben. Warren, and a number of the Sons of Eng- land Lodge. Mr, and Mrs. Fred Joy= ner, and Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Joy- ner of Smithville, Ont, were also present for, the funeral, A PARTING GIFT The Dramatic Club of the Ontario Street church presented Mr, 3, Doug- las, who has ,been transferred to the St. Marys branch of the Royal bank with a bill fold prior to his depar- ture from town. Mr. Douglas had considerable tal- ent and assisted the Club in the last plays presented,. He will be. mniich missed by the young folk of town.
