THE CART BEFORE TRE 'HORSE
OR, The Wrong Foot Forwod.
IT WOULD appear that experience in the.
Inette.r of councilling i does not mean
neuele Neither doee the advice given, by ex-
perienced folk outside of couneil.
This statement, which will be regarded as
Much too bread by rnapy of our readers, is the
only conclution: we can cisme to after this week's
council meeting.
One thing which was pointed uP strongly
Was that Clinton is in dire need of an active
planning board and a Zoning by-law. A year
ago a bor-law was eased restricting the num-
ber of service stations operating in town, to the
number then in operation. The reason for the
by-law was explained by councillors as being
the only way in which the locatidn of the ser-
vice stations could be controlled -they never
intended to restrict the number of businesses
which could be operated, nor did they ever in-
tend to restrict the principle of free enterprise,
ApparentlY it was considered the only action
which could be taken to prevent serve stations
from being scattered belter skelter throughout
residential areas,
Then, this week they decided to permit an
additional service station: to be built, and on
the grounds that it would improve the corner
on which it will -be erected, In order to let the
building go up, an aneefichnent to the by-law will
be made to increase the number of those per-
mitted.
But -there has been no attempt to define
where the regidential' areas are, nor to prevent
other types of business freers locating anywhere
they please in town. Lacking the zoning by-law,
then thereetrictio rby-law perhaps served a pur-
pose, but it was and continues to be a very
"cart before the horse" type of I:Vela-et,
Another place in which Clinton continues to
get the cart and horsein the wrong order, is
with regard to storm sewers.
An engineer was contacted this spring to
give his opinion a what was needed to eliminate
the bad flooding conditions in certain areas, and
the nasty situation which occurs in some base,
merits when sewers back up as a result of over-
loaded drains at time of storms. The engineer
stated that the first need was a master plan of
all existing drains!, both sewer and storm, from
Which future plans for adequate drainage could
be made. Then he suggested that a drain into
the pond at the north east edge of town would
take off surface water from the park, and thus
ease the flooding throughout town, and in par-
ticular at the Mary Street drain,
' However the councillors are proceeding to take
no steps whatever to get the master plan drawn
up, but are going ahead with having detailed
plans made of the proposed drain at the park,
With view to having the work done this summer.
This means spending the taxpayers money
on icailething which should be considered only
after a master ,plan had been secured, and a
program of future drainage work %id out.
ABOUT SUMMER SCHOOL
000D NEWS for the future may be looked
forward to by parents already becoming a little
weary of the question, "What will we do noi?e"
which their young ones pose after a few days of
freedom front books and pencils.
Dr. Geoff Wheable who retired last week
as director of education . in London, proposes
that the expensive school buildings* which we
now have in operation, might be made to pay
off better It air conditioning were installed, and
classes held all year round.
As justification, he says; "The student who
leaves school at 16 finds no hardship in woring
ASLEEP
MR. J. 11,•,PRIESTLEY, the English author,
Who visited this country recently and set quite
a few of its literary citizens by the ears, is not
only a man of controversy, but also a man of
deep and sober thinking. He is disturbed by
What our present seeking for easy ways out of
our daily problems rather than a willingness to
work and struggle and sacrifice for what we
think best, may be doing to our habits of
thought. ' For he recognizes that the habits of
thought are what determine the character and
the success of any people.
Awhile back he put the challenge , to an
English audience. "Do you feel about the Engs
lish in general what you did ten years ago ---
40 hours a week for 50 weeks in the year, a
total of 2,00(Y hours. Yet we ask himto spend
a little more than 25 hours a week in school for
less than 40 weeks, a total of only 1,100 hours."
Advantages to the students in this plan
weak/ be that a four year course could be cut
to three year duration, thus giving him a chance
to get out to work one year sooner. This would
also cut clown the number pf classrooms needed
in these schools, since the length of attending
'would be lessened.
Further advantage to the yourrgsters is the
promise of s''no homework."
OR AWAKE
honestly, now?" he asked. "What relation to
tithe work have the happiest men you know?
Women and children need security; but do men,
real men? How many persons whom you respect
prefer minimum hours of work and plenty of
passive amsteernent to the chanceof working like
blazes making sonae,thing? Is our society be-
coming more flexible or less -and if you think
more, have you tried starting' anything good
lately? Are there more rich, fiery, independent
characters about? Are men's deepest 'needs
being increasingly satisfied?"
There is little doubt that the saber, the
creative Priestley sees, little benefit accruing to
a world by any practice of feather -bedding, no
matter who is father of the project.-J.L.R.

This Is How It's
Done In West
Adelaide Church
(By Grace Middleton)
It is a fact well-known to all
ladies who work in church organ-
izations' that they usually have to
make their bit of money the hard
way and the results are always
small compared to the effortof
large service clubs and secular
groups.
This true story relates how the
ladies of West Adelaide Presbyter -
Ian, - Church, Kerwood district,.
were most happily surprised when
money came their *ay, 'ahnost as
quickly and effortlessly as manna
from heaven. It was after they
had catered most capably for the
big Alberdeeri-Anges Field Day on
Saturday last and their W.A. pres-
ident announced that the dinner
proceeds were to go towards a
much needed church organ.
This gave Alex Edwards an idea.
He disappeared kitchenware's, and
emerged carrying a covered "pie
in a poke," made hp of six pieces
from six different pies.. Coloriel
Paul Good of Illinois, the incom-
parable 'auctioneer was present
and no one who saw and herd,
evee forget how he and his
ring -men auctioned off that pie,
Paul's stentorian voice and his
torrential auetioneer's lingo pour-
ed forth. His ring -men, shouted
and stirred up brisk bidding. Six
times that pie was told,. the first

"No story ears be written with

sible to construct a story without
a motif -41W is, with no shadow
of the breath of life in it" -quote
from Kenneth MaeNkthol, eeethor
ef
It fiction writing .course which
I am presently studying with
great deal of interest and some
hope of eventual success,
A theme is defined as "what
the story is about," a series of
incidents, events and situations.
Very necessary -in foot, indespense
able. A motif is the soul of the
Story, the "reason why," the mot-
ivating iou. It fmoeuene iobeahianiodaraiyil itrthatecaateteci.

e'othis thought to its
logleal conclusion and applying it
to true ‘stories, I' find - myself
searching for' the motif in my own
life and the lives of others well
known sto me. 'It is not always
possible with a living...person-the
pattern is continually shifting and
altering, sometimes -for the better,
sometimes apparently for the
Worse.
It is too easy to stumble along
through life more or Less reluc-
tantly, wishing for some future
event which will- make everything
more worth while and missing

same :should' hold true of our life

theme, made up of incidents and,.
events, may be.
These rather ,copftised thoughts
occupied me recently On a tong
drive home from the funeral of
an uncle in Detroit, He had a
zest for life and a gift for .simple
kindness that was, in the words
of one of the most comforting
funeral sermons I have ever heard,
a "benediction to all who ieneW
him," but, he would have been the
first to achnite-even to ineietee
that he knew nothing of any 'mot-
if."
Just the same, his guiding for-
ce was clearly visible to others.
It was a lovefor home and family,
an:eletoPnent of work for its own,
sake, and a pride in doing &i well.
His "theme" involved manual
work and plenty of it -too much
really. It probably shortened his
life, ,although it was what he wan.
ted to do. His vigorous' spirit was
never content with .helf measures.
His "motif"-? I think it
might have been, "Do the best
you can withthe tools life has
given you."
No one can do more.
