The void which the closing of CFB. Clinton created in the district in terms of employment opportunities has been apparent now for many months. Fortunately there are increasing signs that once more the base may" become a centre of ,ac- tivity. John Van Gastel and officials of his R'adOma Investment and Develop- ment Ltd. are pressing forward with plans for complete occupation of the base facilities and appear to be meeting with success . - The Ontario govern,- ment already has proVi'ded financial !assjstance for one of the lndustrtes" :,whick plans to occupy facilities there. Others are awaiting decisions' • by* the Ontario Depart-' ment concerning a land . division arrangement. The_ proposal has received . clearanCe in Principal by Huron and .Tuckersmith. A factor: that con- tributes to the interest in' the base facilities is the condition of the buildi-ngs.

The fact that CFB 'Clinton is in such good condition can be credited in part to a change in policy by ,the armed. forces, the Clinton News Record points out and . goes, on to say that most of the credit must be given to Major Frank Golding the last com- manding officer at the Base and the one respon- sible for the phase Out.

My little ray of sunshine (at four o'cloic in the afternoon) is sleeping the • sleep of the pure at heart. She's been in the sack since 7:30 this morning, after sitting up all night talking to her crazy Mother, who suffers from insomnia. It's not that Kim distdrbs the quiet, gentle routine of our daily life. She doesn't disturb it at all. She destroys it. As mentioned,, she's a night-owl. Does her best work, writing essays and stuff, after 'midnight. And just like the owl, she 'can sleep all day. Same with eating. She's never hungry when anyone else is.. If dinner is care- 'fully, planned for six-thirty, she is suc0 denly famished at five-thirty and smashes herself up a big mess of bacon and eggs or spaghetti. and sardines, leaving her mother, and I looking ruefully at the roast. Or else she is not hungry at dinner-hour and will eat nothing but some celery, and then about eight-thirty is fainting and slaps up a vast , concoction of fried bananas and mushroomg. 'These are minor things, of course, and she's a delight to have around the house. When she's here, at least I know why my socks 'are disappearing and I haven't a clean shirt to wear. • • 4 As I said, these are.. trifles. But she's' always in some-kind of a hassle,. and these are the things that produce the hour-long, ell-night sessions with her old lady, while I lie blissfully, dreaming (The following letter has been forwarded to the chairman of the. Police Commission by Habkirk Transit Service Ltd. with a copy to this office for publication.) Dear Sir: For your and the town council's In- formatIon, the following is a true report of Mr. Keith Ruston's action oh the morning of March 22, 1972, as far as Habkirk Transit Service Limited is con- cerned. Our company had two goals to be accomplished that morning. One was to place Mr. A. F. Ross in Cleveland, Ohio on Company business; the other was to deliver a coach to London fdr an engine overhaul.' Since Mr. Ross only required a one- way trip to catch an air flight to Cleveland, it was only fitting that he drive our coach to 'London for repairs, whiCh would require Week to finish. Mr. Ross asked Mr. Ruston to bring the coach to his farm in Hibbert Township and save him' from having 'his wife drive him intp Seaforth to pick up the, bus at 8:30 a.m. Mr. Ross' only other alternative was' to leave his car in town for three or • four days,. denying his wife- •the use of their ear for the same period of time. Let it hereby stand as fact that Mr. Keith Rkiston was not in our employ at any time during the day of March 22. He was only doing Mr. Ross- a personal favour. It disturbs me greatly to know that a person can be forced into resigning from his employment with the town of Seaforth, without' too much cause, or a proper investigation into ,the factsi, As far as I know not one of your com- mittee ,,has been in touch with our office of the grand old days when she was a cuddly infant. She's still pretty cuddly, by the. way, but not for the old man. And that's the sort of thing she and her Ma can talk about for six hours at a stretch, without either one, drawing a full breath. They can talk about Don and The Wedding. This is not the title of a Rus- sian novel about the Don River. Don is the other man in her life, and The Wed- ding is' causing more confusion around here than anything since the da y we discovered our tomcat was pregnaht. The great event is scheduled for May. . Typically, Kim announced that they had chosen. May 7th as the day. And typically, her mother, who never misses anything important like this, though I doubt if She knows the name of the prime minister, checked the calendar and discovered that. May 7th is a Sunday...Not Many people get ,married on Sunday, though I don't know• why not. There isn't much' else, to The problem, you se'e, is that'We ask , her home for a weekend. She throws a clean-blouse in a shoulder bag and heads home. But she hates the city so much that her weekends turn into a. six-day sojourn", and 'she has to wear somebody's • clothes, and she and her mother can't abide each other's taste in garments, so she wears mine, which are so drab and nondescript that nobody could fight over them. fler mother promptly announced that she was not up to a big wedding with all the frills, the smartest decision she has made since she agreed to marry ale. Her mother, that is. Next, I laid it on the line. Four choices. A small wedding, immediate family only, and a fair-sized cheque. A slightly bigger deal, with a smallish reception, to include close friends , and a small cheque. A big splash, with a lot of people, and no_cheque. Or a mas- sive affair, with Pomp and cireumstance, -in a city hotel ballroom, with her uhcle and god-father, a well-to-do lawyer, pay-. ing the shot, if she could talk him into it. She chose No. 1, But we'll see4We're far from out of the woods vet. - • to verify any facts of the Ruston case. I demand, as a taxpayer and as presi- dent of the bug company referred to (however indirectly) in Mr. Ruston's charge, that all the facts be made public. If the only charge be that he was in our employ after being warned not to moonlight, then I think that his resig- nation be refused- by town council. • I also think that he should be 'reinstated in his former position of constable. I personally think that a man %len as Mr. Ruston who has served ' this Warn for sohie eight years, in a commendable manner, should be given a little more consideration than your committee hag seep fit to offer. Moonlighting in itself seems to be a pretty petty charge. HoweVer if the -Police Commission is forced to follow such a strict policy, then I say that, the salaries of the whole force shoul d be increased. This would eliminate any need for moonlighting. It does not seem right, that this town should lose one of its better constables on such a petty charge, which in my mind has not been substantiated. I do wish that this council should see fit to refuse the resignation of Mr. Ruston. Yours very truly Habkirk Transit Service Ltd. T. L.
