OFF MAIN STREET PAGE TWO CLINTON N.EVV$-.RECOR.D The situation in the back-shop has settled down into the glorious rush and bustle which we were more used to in our younger days. Well do we remember the hustle with which the Men went about their tasks when we first took steps out into the big wide world, which at that time, for all we knew, was bounded by four walls, was a noisy place, and was full cf noisy machines, and the floor was covered with layers of crumpled paper. 0 0 0 We've just come through a time when the floors were ail swept clean of scraps, and there was nary a place to hide even a whisker. Now we've lots of cubbyholes and spots in which to linger. 0 0 0 This week the Men completed the work on a rather large pro- ject. At least so they estimated it, There was a great deal of tramp- ing to and fro, and they made countless trips, round and round the long table in the back shop. All day long they plodded, until when Monday evening came, a more pitiful exhibition of foot TO ALL CANADIANS, capable of lending a helping hand, conies a great call from our kith and kin across the sea. Disaster of unknown magnitude, both to life and property, has struck the lands from which our fathers came. The relentless sea has worked its wrecking power over large areas of Britain, Belgium and The Netherlands, destroying in its path the comfortable homes of tens of thousands ofpeople; flooding their farm lands, their quiet villages and prosperous towns, and exacting the life toll of thousands of fathers, mothers and little children. None but those who have experienced it are able to comprehend the might of the rolling uncontrollable tide of waters that sweeps every- thing before it. Words cannot describe the havoc resulting from the onward pressure of the vast stretches behind the first waves which break through in flood time; nor can they de- AT A RECENT CONVENTION of daily newspaper men held in the City of London, an appeal went out from managing editors of Can- adian newspapers for more constructive criticism and comment from their readers. They said that they felt newspapers could do a better job of giving readers what they want if they re- ceived more comment from them—good or bad. We, of the week'y newspaper world, feel the need of such constructive criticism just as keen- ly. Since we publish but once a week, and both our staff and our available space is limit- ed, we would appreciate suggestions from bur readers concerning the content of our pages. Do our pages cover the events you want to read about? Are the feature items, (that is editorials, columns, sewing hints, recipe sug- gestions, etc.) of interest to you? Is there any "INDUSTRIES GO TO THOSE who look for them," Mayor E. A. McMaster of Seaforth, reminded councillors of that town at their last regular meeting. The speaker had just finished informing council of the fact that sale negotia- tions between owners of the Hesky Flax Pro. ducts factory in Seaforth, and a Toronto toy manufacturing concern were nearly complete. Following this announcement members of coun- cil in Seaforth voted $200 to cover printing costs of approximately 100 copies of a booklet which would outline just what Seaforth had to offer any other firms who might like to settle there. We commend our neighbours on this wide- awake attitude toward the matter of getting new industries into their town. This is the sort of thing that is absolutely necessary in a corporation if results are to be achieved. Clinton has this year been warned of quite an increase in tax rate, and warnings of this are based on fact. There comes td our mind the certainty that there will be increased cost of living in our town. With this increase in taxes, will come a request from house owners for higher rents. They will be justified in this, for rent is based to a large extent upon taxes paid on property. Along with this request for higher rent, those who rent their living quarters will request higher wages from their employers, for wages must be based upon the cost of living in the area concerned.

Canadians should be thankful that no such gigantic destruction has been their lot and by the same token should lend a willing hand to help their suffering brethren. The opportunity to help comes to us all, and it may be given locally through the Huron County Overseas Flood Relief Fund, which has been set up, and the Canadian Red Cross, which is to be the administrative agent of Canadian aid. Every Canadian should give according to his ability lest the voices of the needy haunt him. Every chartered bank in Canada will receive donations and arrangements are being made that all gifts to the fund will be deductible for In- come tax purposes. The distress of our kinsfolk call to us: Let it be ours to answer cheerfully. such column or feature which you would like to see in your paper, which we do not at the present time carry? Answers to these questions will help us to publish the paper that you want, with the news you want to read. Our aim is always toward "The Home Paper With the News". A paper you want in your home, with the items that you want published in it, And do, please, let us know of anything that happens to you, the members of your fam- ily, or your friends. Much as we would like to, we just cannot publish what we have not heard. Try to get news items to us in good time, for old news to a newspaper is really no news at all. For any special event that you wish a reporter from our office to attend, please let us know, and someone will make an effort to cover it for you. There is a solution to this threat of in- creased rents, wages, and general cost of living, and we would still be able to have our new schools, better streets, renovations to public buildings, development of our park, and all the improvements which we wish for our children. This solution would be achieved if we could attract new industries to our town. As we are aware, the Clinton and District Chamber of Commerce is engaged at the present in preparing a brochure of Clinton, of which over 100 copies will be printed, and these brochures will be used to provide prospective industrial firms with information concerning Clinton. We feel that this is indeed a com- mendable work, and that the efforts of the local Chamber of Commerce will do a good deal to promote the interests of Clinton. Right now, and with continuing effort, at- tempts must be made to get new industries into our town. We read just recently of the great strides the City of Port. Huron has been making, in the building of new public buildings, promoting parks, playgrounds, etc., and the money for this which was not raised by volun- tary donations, was largely provided by taxes on industrial plants. This is a solution to our problem as well. But it is a soltetion which will only come about through increasing work and unfailing enthusiasm on the part of our town's leaders. vote of thanks. Rev. Mr. Gandier spoke a few pleasing remarks, The meeting closed by singing "God Save the Queen." Refresh- ments were served. Proceeds for the evening was $19.35; Mission Band made $7.

We mice sat in the litter and tit- tered' a bit to ourselves about the peculiarities of Men. My, what a lot of• effort they put into things, and the time they spend over such an inconsequential matter as a book. Sure and the thing they spent so much time on, and grumbled so much about was none other than a multitude of yellow covered books which other People will read, comment on, criticize and discard., Methinks they could do better if they had a cheese party, or learned to walk a water- pipe. Now, there's an accomplish- ment., 0 0 0 Not three days ago we were showing off for a few dozen odd nephews and giving them a quick lesson on the art of water-pipe walking, when sud- denly (we must be getting old) a foot slipped, and we fell kerflump, oh, so close to the hot metal pot on the caster. Tis lucky indeed that we mis- sed the thing, cause one of the Men had just completed cast- ing some new cuts for this week's paper, and the hot lead was really hot enough to singe this whole mouse, not just a whisker or two. Let that be a lesson to me, you say? All right, we'll accept your com- ment. And let it be a lesson to , you, too. Never walk a water-pipe without some resin on your toes. Try it some time, It could be fun. WISE I IIIIIIIiIIIilIiH Iililllidl litiiil ;iii1111111111111 11111(1111111 I.11(111111 11111' 1111 111111111111M j I 011111111 Iil111111 II II I
