THE COIVIMEateCZ,NIENT'
As usual the Collegiate Commence-
ment exereises this year were a de-
cided success. Held in the auditorium
on Thursday and Friday evenings of
last week, they broug'h't out record
crowds on both occasions.
Itisa' lot 'of work getting up these
entertainments, which are put on en.
tirely by the students, and it is en-
eouraging to have them so popular
with the public. But the fact is that
they are looked forward to each year
as the 'entertainments of theseason,
many going to them who never are
seen at any other entertaimmnt put
on by local talent. And of course,
they bring in parents and friends
from all the surrounding community,
The program, which - was put on
both evenings, consisted of choruses,
exercises, a .coupie 'of short and snap
py plays, fancy dances, etc,; was
gone through without a hitch' and
was much enjoyed. It opened with a
ibugle and drum prelude. The first
item was a chorus of male voices. The
singers being:" First tenors, G. Hol-
mes, J. McCall, R. McInnes,; 1. Per-
due; emend tenors, G, .Campbell, F.
Dovey, G. Levis, H. Seeley, W. West;
first bass, B. Bartliff, G. Elliott, F.
Heard, C. Hutch; second bass, K. Dun-
gan, C. Holmes, F. Moynes,' G. Ven-
eer.

fast," was presented by Kathleen Cos -
ens, Ruth Andrews, Norma C'oolc, G.
Campbell, G. Gingerich, G. Venner,
G. Elliott Evelyn Lever; J. Cuning-.
name and H. Williams. This was a
sort of a mix-up, as a young boarder
had brought in a man who wished to
study a group of people who were not
quite normal, telling him this was
such a -household. The boarder
`informed t h e boarding house.
mistress that he was a
food inspector, and each one of the
boarders was given to understand he
was an expert, in a different line. As
a result they all acted foolishly and
as a result the practical joker had te
confess his\ joke and the man was
glad to 'escape, `being -sure he'had -got
mire n -very "'queer" household.
A. dance was -given by eight young
girls in •costumes of green and white
and was 'finely, executed. The girls
were, Agnes Agnew, Kathleen Cun-
inghame, Violet Fremlin, Margaret
leeard, Dorothy 'Hdli'and, Faye Lind-
say, Cora Street, F. Watson.
A mixed chorus composed of ;Misses
C. Bransdon, L. 14fanning, M. Thoznp-.
'son, A.' Cameron, E.'Chai'lesworth and
Messrs. J. McCall, It. McInnis, K.
Dougan and 'C. 'Holmes -gave two fine
vocal selections.
The distribution of -prizes complet-
ed the first 'half of the program. Rev.

tions. Athletic champions: Senior

The school paper was read by Nora
Fremlin, containing verses of her
own composition, A gymnastic stunt.
was also well executed by a number
of boys and indicated splendid physi-
cal training. More songs by the
male chorus were enjoyed and enthus-
iastically- encored. A drill, The
Flamborough Sword Dance by the
following girl's in sport. dress, was a
pretty feature: J. ,Cameron; J. Cor-

Ernest Gordon Howes was the suc-
cessful applicant among fourteen who
applied for the position of resident
caretaker of "Clinton post .office, to
succeed R, Walton, who is retiring on
pension after fifteen years' service.
The applicants were called together
for, an oral examination a month ago
by an official from London postal di-
vision and Mr. Howes received his
official notification from the deputy
postmaster general at Ottawa on Fri-
day.
All the applicants were great war
veterans, Mr. Howes enlisted with
the 161st Huron Regiment with
which unit he went overseas. He was
drafted for active service into the
47th division. In 1917 he was inval-
ided to England and after spending
several months in hospital was again
at the front when hostilities ceased,
Demobilized in 1919 Ito retrained to
Clinton and has since carried on busi-
ness as an eleetrieian.

occupied the post oigcea•esidence dur-
ing their oceupany of the position

was 'a very laughable little skit. A
young couple had just returned from
a holiday when. a maiden aunt of each
arrived on a visit and the young 'hes-
bane's "boss" invites himself to din-
ner, The young pian remembers that
he had told him when asking for a
"raise" that they' hada baby, so a
baby had to be procured. He 'bor-
rowed a neighbor's nine-year-old son, 13
but he proves rather too "knowing"
and causes complications, It all turns da
out all right, however. of

A SLIP OF THE PEN
Owing to a slip of the pen a head-
ing on an article published in lust
week's issue regarding the annual
statement of the Bank of Montreal
stated that it was the annual state-
ment of he Royal 'Bank.
-Manager Monteith of the local
branch of the Bank of Montreal
wanted to know if The News -Record'
was trying to bring about an amal-
gamation of the two institutions.
But we plead innocent of any ambi-
tion. to. fly so high in the realm of
finance, it was purely a slip of the
pen, which was overlooked in the hur-
ry of getting out the issue. of this
family journal in time to catch mails
and mail couriers on the day of
publication. Vie zegret the error.
The body of the article, of course, re -
fared to the Bank of itlonti eal, and
the statement looked Tike a very cred-
itable one.
LITTLE LOCALS
The Christmas tree is already in
place en the postolfree square.
A short,Agricultural course will
'be conducted in Clinton, commencing
January 7th, 193'6 and continuing

There will be five teams in the lo-
cal 0.H,A. group 'this season, which
will have "Intermediate 'B" rating.
'Goderich, Clinton, 'Seaforth, Mitchell,
and Wingham will'make up the group,
'Mr..Ed. Moody of Toronto, well
known to many hereabouts, has•been
ill with pneumonia for some weeks,
but is now progressing, His friends
will hope for a speedy and complete
teceyery.

without the presence of a single Citi

pleased to seethe interest continued.

kie, suggesting that he, at hie own

industries locate in Clinton, the court -
to pay him, when such an industry
is established and employing seven-
ty-five or more hands, the sum a
$2,000 for each industry so establish: -
ed.
Reeve Elliott, as chairman of the
special committee, moved, seconded
by Councillor Livermore, that this
council place itself on record as be-
ing behind this proposition and com-
mending the council of 1936 to back
it up. Mr. Elliott said he had heard
some street talk that the members of
the council were trying" to 'block the
establishment of new industries in
Clinton, He"was behind any propos-
ition to bring new industries and
would back them up one hundred per-
cent. The proposition made by Mr.
Mackie; he said, had nothing to de
with, the trial 011 wale or the chemi-
cat and egg plants to be started',
these were coming anyway, as far as:
he understood, and he, and he tho'oglit
he was speaking for all the
council, would welcome the establish-
ment of any industry 'which would
employ men and do away with unem-
ployment.
Councillors Holmes and Livermore
each spoke, also, and each hoped that
something would come of the proposi-
tion. Mr. Holmes said he had been
hoping that something definite woulc/
be Placed before the council, as he
had heard a great many rumors. Mr.
Livermore said nobody was knocking,
the miming of industries, that every-
body would welcome there.
The following report of the M.0.E..
was read and adopted:
"Clinton, Dec. 1st, 1934.
To The Mayor and Members of Clin-
ton Town Council, r
Gentlemen '
I beg to submit the Annual report
of the Board of Health for the past
year. The number of communicable
diseases have been few, Two eases
of Infantile Paralysis, (Polio-i4fye-
litis) were reported, one Iocal of a.
very naild e other imparted.
from Muskokatype, whicthh proved more ser-'.
ions followed by paralysis. Two gas- .
es of Whooping Cough contracted
while visiting. A few scattered car-
es of Mumps were repotted but many
were not, these not reporting are
Iiable to s, fine of $20.
All school children are innoeulated
against Diphtheria thus making that •
fatal disease preventable.
There is every probability that'
before next report there will be a,
Vaccine procurable to prevent Wart -
tile Paralysis,
The convelasent.serum nal- in use
is useless. -
The Medical officer of Health, ac.
companied by the Sanitary Inspector,
have visited the Dairies and found
the premises and stables •clean anet
healthy, walls whitwashed, a healthy
and clean lot of cows all being blood:
tested and many tested for Tuberenf-
osis,
The Pasteurizing Plant working
satisfactorily has added an eleeteie
bottling machin and before spring
an electric, Cooling system wilt be
installed. Samples oe milk and cream:
have .been tested periodically and'
found better than standard. Tim
citizens are being suppliedwftir
splendid miIlc. Samples of the Town
water have been submitted to' The On-
tario Board of Health half yearly for
analysis and all reports returned rrst•
class no bacteria, but very bard.
We would ".advise all householdca-,
to wash clean all tops of milk boa-•.
ties before pouring out cream or miler,
because 'bottles are, left exposed ots•
door steps .and porches so that Mese
cats and dogs May contaminate, be-
sides in delivery the tops are handled;
by hands not sterile, There were 814
deaths and 30 births of Clinton test. -
dents during the year, 38ebirths and,
8 deaths from non-residents:
On the .whole we should be eon--
gratulated upon the Health of the -
Town and the Hospital Management:
After the he zeading
and adoption of
the minutes of the last meeting com-
munications were read. The residents
of William street wanted the snow
fence replaced alongside the park. On
notion of Councillors Paisley and
Inkiey this was left to the street
connnittee to Iook after.
Tize. Women's Institute and the
Hospital Board each wrote asking for
a rebate of hall rent for a play put
on recently by each organization.
Both claimed that the proceeds were
to be used for the Hospital: On mo-
tion ofC C o t 'nett o 1 r
t s Holmes and Ink -
ley both requests were granted.
A deputation was present from
the Home and School Club and on in-
vitation of the mayor, Mos. H. C.
Lawson, president, addressed the
council. Mrs. Lawson said that the
Home and School Club had always
had a welfare committee, whose duty
it was to look after any .child who
came to school with insufficient cloth-
ing, etc., and that for the past couple
or three years this committee had
been given the responsibility of ad-
ministering relief in the town. She
said it was too much of a responsi-
bility and that the Club had decided
that this committee should nbt take
it up this year, Her suggestion was
that a central committee be formed,
with the backing of the council, to
administer relief. The Home and
School Club would have a represen-
tative on such a eonnnittee, she said.
Two or three of the councillors asked
a few questions and Mayor Trewartea
assured the Club that the council ap-
ter would be diseussed when new
business came un and they would re•
port to the Club their conclusion. He
assured the Club that the town ap-
preciated very highly the work done
by the Club, and other organizations
in town,
Mr. Ian MacLeod, Agricultural Re-
presentative, also on invitation of the
mayor, addressed the council, He
said be seldom appeared' before a
town or township councilexcept when
he wished to ask a favor, but said he
had always had the co-operation of
Mb bodies and was grateful for it.
He explained that be was planning to
hold a short agricultural course, mem
meneing Jan, 7th and continuing until
Fib. 1st, and he wished the use of
the council chamber to hold a girls'
