HOME TOWN SPORTS
WE HAVE ALWAYS beell a strong support!
er of local sports activities.
The home brew hockey team which Clinton
was blessed with last .Year was a joy to see,
and ,created Many an hour of pleasure for spec-.
tatorS as. well as-for those participating, The
team proved it could operate in the black, and
will have enough money to proceed to replenish
uniforms, and playing equipment for next year.
Now with the summer season, the era of
baseball, softball, soccer, etc., is getting into
gear for another good season,
The Clinton Colts have been out for one
baseball practice, and if the weather eases up,
they'll soon be ready to meet all corners in the
Huron-Perth. League,
The Clinton. Soccer Team is this.year pitted
against the best grouping in the rapidly growing
league which is in operation in Western Ontario.
They're up-against strong competition, but we
have a ,strong feeling that the men, in that
team are good enough to put up a fine showing,
and their games are well worth: going to see.

ALCOHOLICS
Reasonable estimates represent-

ures for the ten-year period ending
in 1953, indicate the number of
alcoholics per 100,000 population—.
20 years and over—in certain, On-
tario counties, to be as follows:
Middlesex .. 3160 adults per 100,000

Wentworth,. 2255 adults per 100,000
Frontenac 1705 adults :per 100,000
Essex 1680 adults per 100,000
HURON 750 adul ts per 100,000

"Haste and Charm don't mix,'
So says John Robert. Powers, of
the famous model agency, in a
weekly column currently running
in the London Free Press, He goes
on to :say that poised woman is
never hurried but aceompiishes,
.more than the, bee who
charges through her day,
Never having managed to come
within several miles of what I
consider an' adequate amount of
poise, geared to ,fit all occasions,
I am not qualified to write on
the subject. But if I might Para-
phrase it to read "Haste and well•
being don't mix" — there I feel
myself to be on firm ground. .1 am
becoming something of an expert
on the production and maintenance
of a personal state of well-being;
I have been known to get up in
the morning, burdened with. a sense
of duties waiting and tasks left
undone, and start doing them with.

ing tea with the otherin a man-
ner of'speaking, I accomplish little
and I suffer from a sense of urg-.
ency a n d mounting frustration
which quite spoils ,my day."
For best results, I arise in, a
carefree, even casual; frame of
mind. I decide that .I will not do
more than minimum housework..
I will write —I will garden. — I
might even go overboard and paint
the kitchen woodwork, 'But I will
NOT be a slay to' dish-washing,
bed-making or floor-mopping.

From Our EaryFiles
Now, comes Word of .an attempt to get. up a
town league softball series. That is good, years
ago there was -town league softball here, with
a following which proved the popularity, of the
sport. This year there is every, indication that
other' Clinton teams will enter the lists, and
there'll be great enjoyment in seeing ,local lads
pitted against each other on the softball, diamond.
This type of sports, is, we believe, what the
older folk are thinking of when they remember
"the good Old - clays." They're not thinking of
the inconveniences of the old boiler on the end
of the stove working up enough hot water for.
R Saturday night bath, . nor the hard work of
heaving a set of harness onto the broad backs
of a pair of work horses—the phrase', 'good old
days" makes. them think of the. gobd times had
when they,were young: These good times were
had without the benefit of cars, and the amuse-
ments of TV and the big cities.. They were had
right at home with the neighbours and their kids.
• WS good to see this goPd part of the old.
days coming back • to Clinton.

worth' seeing—and worth seeing -again, even in
Southern Ontaflo,
With this area familiar, it would be interest-
ing indeed to.malce a comprehensive tour of the
wonders of 'Northern and Eastern Ontario,. as
far' as the cars will go—and then by canoe,
- plane, or dogsled if necessary into still farther
reaches. of our own, vast province, The possibil-
ities are endless. '.
For instance—how many of you have seen
the tropical orchard under glass at .Collingwood,
or the Bonnechere caves at Egarwille?
Here's another item, dredged up from stat-
istics by the staff of the Toronto Telegram:
the southern tip of Ontario is at the same
latitude as, the northern limit of California! And
yet, we would. go south for the winter.
Ontario has 80,000 miles of "too-free" roads,
62 roadside parks, 2,500 roadside picnic tables.
As a note of interest—a number of thole road-
side picnic tables were constructed -in a 'Wood-
working shop owned by an ex-Clint,on. boy.

that has been needing it for weeks,
I .enjoy brief interlude of convex-,
sation with the eat, And then--
having put my work firmly in its
place --I condescend to give it my
attention.
Some hourslater, if I bother to..
Check up, I find that I have done
all the things' that plagued me to
desperation the day' before and
more besides', In addition:, I have
enjoyed it, and I can now turn to
the luxuries of my day with a.
clear conscience.

who may never need to use it. But
for me, it gets results..
