HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1953-03-26, Page 3v THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1953 PETERS of the BACK SHOP Things were rather dull about the back shop this week. Seems that when spring comes around, the sun emphasizes the cobwebs on the skylight, and the winter's dust on the windows, and we feel the urge to go stepping down the back alley, The ground is almost dry, and the warm breeze in the air makes a small mouse ever so light on his feet. Besides, we notice that the kittens are spend- ing their nights out-of-doors in the light .of the moon, and a small mouse receives not so much as a flicker of an eyelid from the fur- ry creatures. ©0© We went sauntering down the back alley yesterday, past the spot ' where the old open ditch has been drained, and on over to the Clinton Communi- ty Park, The gates have been shut to traffic, but it was but the work of a moment for this mouse to clamber through and another jiffy's trot took us over to the ball diamond. The sun shone down on the play- ing field and the bleachers, making a mighty cosy spot to sit for a while and reminis- ce about the past , season's baseball team. 00© Clinton Colts were in pretty fine shape last year for the final games. We remember scampering that way quite often in the even- ing to watch them. Surely it won't be long now until they'll start getting out their uniforms, and warming up for a few home runs. When the time comes, we aim to be there. We heard a few sounds of activity over towards the Clinton Laundry, and wonder- ing if Red were making a few additions, we headed .ov- er that way, Then, we rem- embered that Clinton is to have a new theatre of the out -door style. What a lovely thing for mice and men: ,At any rate, they had a bull -doz- er over there pushing trucks loaded with gravel in to the location of the screen. Seems the ground was too soft for the trucks to drive in, but with the machine, they push- ed 'em in, and pushed 'em out again, Footings were pour- ed yesterday, and the men ex- pected to go right ahead to- day laying the cement blocks. Twelve -inch blocks will be us- ed for the first story, then each of the second and third stories will bebuilt of small- er block. 000 As the sun began to go down, and the wind rose, we were glad to scamper back to the familiar back shop. Wednesday, evening there is rather pleasant, for the men work rather later than us- ual, so you folk can read the News -Record today. That makes for a friendly atmosphere, with the lights on, the linotypes run- ning, and busy preparations go- ing forward for the last run. 0 Last year Canadian children working through the organiza- tion of the Junior Red Cross rais- ed more than $157,000 for their Welfare Fund and Handicapped and Crippled Children's Fund, Tenders TENDERS will be received up to noon on April 10, for the wiring of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Clinton.
