Clinton and district seems to have broken out in a sudden rash of weddings, Five engage- ments are announced in The CLINTON NEWS-RECORD this week. My goodness, where will they all find a place to live? Housing here being what it is, I'll bet I have an atrociously high offer to rent my cheese box as an apartment before the paper is on the street half a day. It is a pretty blue out- side, folks, but you'll have to decorate the interior yourself and furnish it, too. I had a hard enough job getting enough material for my own house—it's so far out in the ,country to the first strawstack. 0 Quick Canadian Facts . . from Quick Canadian Facts 1.

E'AGE TWO SPORTSMEN whose tastes run towards such migratory birds as ducks and geese, had better start getting their equipment oiled and ready for use. The Federal Government's Wild Life Div- ision who set the open seasons for hunting migratory birds, have announced the dates for 1952. The open seasons for this district are as follows. (All dates are inclusive). Ducks, Geese (other than Brant), Rails, Coots, and Gallinules—October 4 to Novem- ber 29. TIME WAS WHEN the only contact a Political candidate had with the voters was personal, Then came mass-circulation news- papers, to bring his printed speech to those who missed the public meeting, Next came radio, bringing his voice right into their homes. And now 'has come television, enabling them to see and hear him from. the comfort of their favourite armchairs. Aside from the actual choice of candidates for the American election, the most significant feature of the recent political conventions in Chicago was the overwhelming impact of tele- vision. Many observers feel that the very structure of American politics has been altered by exposing to the nation, via the TV screen„ the conniving and adolescent antics of con- vention delegates. Above all, it has been established that a prime requisite of any am- To make retribution for calling me a rat last month, an admirer who signs herself "Country Mouse," this week sent me a most treasured gift. It was more pret- tily wrapped than even a Christ- mas present deserved to be, in a sky blue box marked in silver. I read the printing on the top, and was mightily close to hurl- ing the whole thing wastepaper- wards. Cologne! Nosegay col- ogne! It looked like insult added to injury. However, my curiosity being what it is (I was christened Peter because of it), I worked the bottom of the box open and found to my delight, the most exciting thing of all. There was a pretty little glass tumb- ler filled with pineapple cheese. Cream cheese, of the kind that D. H.

There can be no question 'that television's political influence will not be just as strong in Canada. It is important, then, before the sit- uation becomes irrevocable, that there be a re-examination of the principles upon which the medium is developing here. Under the present policy, television is monopolized by an. agency of the government, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This is handy for any government, but could be a% distinct handi- cap to its opponents. A simple proposition in the geometry of politics is that if political choice is to be free, anything which influences political choice must also be free. The free- dom still enjoyed today has been largely gain- ed and held because newspapers were and are free. The Political Influence Of Television PETER, of the BACK SHOP slides soothingly down the throat, and makes a box of crackers taste like food from the Waldorf. If I only had the crackers! Oh, well, cheese is good alone or in company, and by the look in the eyes of the Men this jar probably will be enjoyed in company, This business of getting a gift in September reminds me — just 95 more shopping days until Christmas.' I simply must get my Christmas cards bought. The fountain at Library Park, by the way, has proved it can. function quite properly—and a very attractive sight it is, in-. deed, with the water spraying joyously from the top, and fal- ling gracefully into the top basin, only to run en out of the goat's mouths and fall from there into.

Why didn't he or she advise them to turn over only the $2 to the Lions' Club for new ice and .useathe odd seven. cents to adver- tise in the News-Record. For seven cents they could get in The First Column of the News- Record and for a stick of chalk they could announce on the muni- cipal black-board that a repeat performance would be staged on some specified Saturday Night in the Council Chambers or Agricul- tural. Offices, or other suitable Auditorium where the rental is nominal. Seems to the public that a very young ladies auxiliary could han- dle the Freshie at 3 cents per glass, (Some girls need new ice in a rink too) and the actors could devote full time to the stage work. Is it possible to have a return performance of The Comical Play? Respectively, Fred Sloman. The Editor Clinton. News-Record DEAR SIR: Thank you for reminding me that my subscription had run out. I am enclosing draft for renewal of mine and my brother Bert in Los Angles, Cal., Hotel Cecil. I read the News-Record with quite a lot of interest, having been born in Clinton, a short time before it was started. The news items of the churches and the various committies bring back the days when I used to write the notes of various church meetings of Young Peoples Society of Ontario Street Church before it was the United Group. I recog- nize names of musical members with whom I worked in choir and orchestra. Ben Gibbings was choir leader and his sisters and my sisters were faithful members. As boys, my brother and I and my father worked in the Doherty Organ factory and I celebrated 60 years, July 2nd, in the organ and piano work. We have' a very nice business here and built our new place which is illustrated in the post card in 1947. In the old factory which burned down in 1898 I worked under Charles Bezzo who occasionally writes for your paper. I would like if you would say "Greetings to any of our old friends and acquaintances, which I am sure would be in the "Fifty years ago section". By the way I should like if you can inform me of an old school triend by the name of Annie McCorvie, I haven't seen her name mentioned in years, and have wondered if she is still living. Thank you again. I remain yours truly, Thomas R • Walker. August 30, 1952, 1345 South Broadway, Denver 10, Colo. August 29, 1952, Clinton, Ontario. THE EDITOR, CLINTON NEWS-RECORD DEAR SIR: (Mrs. Herbert enclosed the en- gagement notice of her son's marriage). The young couple are both students' at University oasslitaatfisli Columbia; Fred is in his last year "law." This will be of interest to my many friends there. I grew up in Clinton. Elsie Hibbert, a friend, sends me her paper, so I keep in touch avtray here at the Coast. I have a nursing home for elderly ladies, and keep very busy indeed, However, I have very warm feeings for dear old Clinton and always am delighted to see any of you who come to the Coast. I am interested to read "The Re- cord". It is a splendid paper. Sincerely, —ELSIE M. HERBERT 3907 Blenkinsop Rd. Victoria, B.C. • THURSDAY, S,Er'nmsEn 4,1032
