Housing here being what it is,
I'll bet I have an atrociously

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.

bitious politician must now be a good TV
personality.
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.

Clinton News-Record
DEAR SIR:
That Emmenson Barn Theatric-
al Group—what they need is a
better Business Manager.
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.

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

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,
