If Clinton's 1901 population was housed comfortably why can't this 1952 population be as easily accommodated? It's this sort of problem which makes my whiskers turn a little grey at the ends.

Seems to me the Subject did come up recently. As I lay dozing for few minutes this morning in my pretty blue cheese-box home (by the way I've rented by old thumb tack box cottage to an Air Force couple with four children who were desperately in need of a place) as I was dozing there turning a host of hazy thoughts round about' I remembered some census data which recently came to my notice. Iri 1901, just fifty years before the latest official count, Clinton boasted a total of 2,147. persons. The 1951 figures for the Town of Clin- ton, show exactly the same number, eight on the button- 2,147. Now on the surface, this doesn't seem too startling. But look around the town. Remember 1939? remember 1944? Even in the ten or so years since then, how many new houses can you count off on your fingers? Quite a few aren't there? There are all the "wartime" houses whose numbers mushroomed in the 1940's--and now all the modern, ranch-style, prefab and speedy construction homes that have appeared in the last two years. This makes no mention of the apartments made in second floors, in garages and in extra rooms. What puzzles me is—where did all those 2,147 folk live in 1901? Surely they couldn't OPTOMETRY A. L.

Now that the lights are erected and soon to be put in operation we have heard comments from several sources that the lights are not in their proper place and that they should have been here and there. No doubt these would-be "electrical wiz- ards" have the right idea in mind and 'they probably mean their s criticism for the best. However, these people seem to forget that the Town Council consulted the Northern Electric Company, the manufacturers of the lights. This company had photographs taken of the THOSE RESPONSIBLE for the great change to the site of the old mill pond near Clinton Community Park, are certainly to be thanked and heartily congratulated. What a clean-up and face-lifting this old spot has received can be appreciated only by the citizens who for years have looked upon a deserted and delapitated scene. The willow branches lying in every direction on the ground and in the stagnant water beneath the trees, gave a general rundown appearance of which no right-thinking citizen could be proud. But the heretofore stagnant water that sometimes smelled to high heaven,, has been, drained away; the ground from the old pond down to the Par-Knit grounds is being filled in and eventually will be levelled; the stand- Back to school went the young ones last week.

DEAR SIR: • Another year has rolled by and time once' again to renew our sub- scription to your paper. We do enjoy the paper so very much. AS we- were stationed at Clinton for nearly nine, years, it is indeed our home town, We have been at Claresholm a year, and we are getting climatized to the Western climate, although one wonders at times if you ever get used to it. It can be so changeable. We are having ideal harvest weather, ehinook wind and plenty of sun- shine., so no doubt the combines, trucks, etc., will be busy soon, From our window we can see the train going across the prairies, not a tree, not a thing, just the train on the horizon, one can see it for miles. While to the west, we have the foot hills in all their splendour, but with it all, I still miss Ontar- io very mach. Claresholm is much the same size as Clinton- -no in- dustries tho.
