LET THE SALESMEN PROVE THEMSELVES
TJJI QIJOHOI(J ' TIERS month, salesmen have
been knocking on the doors Of homes in Huron
County proferxing magazine subscriptions for
sale. These .salesmen carry the identification
With the OroWell-Collier publishing .company, and
are co-operating with. the Canadian Legion, Clin-
ton Branch 140 in the matter of the campaign.
A percentage of the receipts from their set-
ling campaign is turned over to the Clinton Leg,
ion, which has .a committee set up for handling
this money. All proceeds.11
re used in the pro-
jeot of setting up'a "lendig library" of sick
room equipment. _
Last year the money purchased a good deal
of this equipment, including hospital beds,lnval-
id walkers, etc., end it was stored in the Legion
Memorial Hall here, but not for long. Soon
there were requests for this equipment from sick
- ,people all ovee Huron County, and at the present
time (and for•soine months) the demand has been
greater than the supply,
Though the Clinton Legion has the• Work of
storing the .equipment when it is not in use, aad

not place any restrictions on' where it is being

Huron County. .
The -equipment Is continuing to be used by
these in need and'this year's magazine subscrip- ,
tion campaign will increase the amount of equip
meat available,
Though .heartily supporting the principle
that it is imwiee to buy from door-to-door sales-•
men who cannot establishtheir own identity and
the worth of their `product, we are strongly in,
favour of this campaignwhich the men of 'our
local Legion have endorsed. We fail to imagine
,any other way that such e„ "library" of equip- -
meat could be set up on a lend-lease basis, and
it would appear to us. to be one of the greatest
things for the common good that the branch is
-liable to. achieve,
Check up on the salesman who comes to
your door. Make sure he carries the credentials
" which prove to you that be is with the group
co-operating with the Legion, and then support
the campaign by ,placing your orders with him.
IT HAS BEEN said that faith .can move
mountains.
Surely it has -been written in' the "Flying
Yorkshireman" we' believe it was, that Sam's
faith enabled him to fly, and to startle the -whole
Of New Yofk in so doing,
Faith in the ability of the cominunity to

. moved a great many things. For'•one thing it
has moved severall tons of earth from the Com-
munity Park, and it ha's moved many xnen Ind
women in Clinton to show what they are capable
of in the matter of providing money for the'
pro5ect and in making plonsforproviding.
more..
Withoet hesitation women's clubs, com-
munity groups ,individuals all are sending in
their donations to the Fundi which will e'ventual-
-ly pay for the Pool. --Every week this newspaper
records; more donations pouring into the fund.
..."There is.. sti‘ a great • deal_ of money needed.
This need is being faced up to `'by the groups
TY E!'FORT
who with, one announcement state the amount
of cash they are ready to give, and in the next
:move are planning"some fund raising activity.
This is the way that great things are done
in any locality. This is the way in which the
. PooI' will be built Iby the people of Clinton.
It ha's been said by those who have -initiated
the move: "If by having the swimming pool,
even, one child is taught to swim,`and this at
some time in the future saves that child's life,
then all the work and the sacrifices will be paid
for." • ,
That is "the kind of enthusiasm which has
done great things for many a municipality lar-
ger than Clinton, It is the sane kind of a
statement that Churchill used in his well-known
. speeches during the war in ,which he spurred
Britons on to greater deeds inthe face of death,
shortages and bombings.
• ' It is the kind of enthusiasm which will get
Clinton's pool' built and paid for, and in use next
season.
"GENTLEMEN, THE QUEEN"
FOR THOSE •who would be, and perhaps
for those ' who are going to be ehairnian of the
meeting, we° would quote the proper procedure
for toasting the Queen as outlined in. the Elmira
Signet. Authority for, this procedure- is none
other than the .,Comptroller of the Lord High, '-
Chamberlain's Office, St: James' Palace, London,
England. ` .
As the. Elmira Signet's editor remarks,
"With a title like that, he ought to know." -
The Comptroller says that the chairman of
the meeting raps once with his gavel and having
Obtained silence, says, "Ladies' and gentlemen,
the ,Queen." That's. all, Nothing more, The
'atidience then stands at attention during the
National Anthem. Only then is 'the glass'lifted
from the table and held for a moment at eye
level. Either before or after 'drinking one sip of
the liquid, the words, "the Queen" are repeated
and the glass is replaced on the table.
- None other than the foregoing: procedure
THE OLD
HAVING BUT recently returned from a
jaunt into our neighbour province, Quebec, we
are now ready to make a few comments upon
the feeding habits of the Canadian.
We believe we are justified in making these
comments, since not only are we Canadian and
-third generation Canadian, but .we also are ex-
perienced in the matter of feeding and have
been for these many years.
It is rather frustrating to note that when
abroad in a strange place, and looking over the
inenfi of an -eating establishment, the first thing`
we look. for (after scanning the right hand
•colui'rin) i3 for something familiar.
When we're at home we -long for the far-off
places where we can lunch on things like marin-
ated herring, lobster thernidor, split pea soup,
oysters in the half shell, and all such luxuries.
(Actually on this trip we discovered caviar for
the first time, and thoroughly 'enjoyed it, though
We cannot actually say we would favour it for a
continuous diet).
However, for the most part we look for
the familiar, and generally find it. Though
some may grumble about the forever sameness
of restaurant diet in Canadian restaurants, we
find is restful.
For instance when in Quebec we entered a
tiny restaurant by the St. Lawrence River and
discovered that although we did not know,
French, neither diel the waitress know any Eng-
lish, Desperate for food, and not Wanting to
make the long climb back up to the main part
of the village .of Murray liay, it was quite con-
soling to be able to run over the items on the
menu (mamas in French) and pick out "grilled
cheese" in unmistakeable English,
constitutes',' the proper form, according to the •
• comptroller. If only men are in the audience,
the chairman says, "Gentlemen, the 'Queen" and
the salutation of "Ladies" if only ladies are
present.
According to the comptroller, the most
common - and worst blunder for members of
the audience to make is to clink glasses together
when proposing the toast.
Well, that's that.
•
HOW DO YOU DRIVE?
DO YOU DRIVE by "ear" or speedometer?
Many drivers when apprehended for speed-
ing show surprise. They appear unaware- of
their excessive speed. •
In this day of smooth highways and com-
fortable cars, a regular glance. at the speedom-
eter has no substitute.
FEED BAG
We might add that it tasted just as good
as it would have 'done in Clinton; and we were
thankful for that.
HOSPITAL PLAN
WHEN, AND IF, the federal .plan for hos-
pitalilation' assistance for all comes into effect,
we may be sure that the cost will come right
back upon the taxpayer who is urging this step.
Thoughit may seem a pleasant thing to
have hospital bills paid, and sickness expenses
lowered insofar as the current pocketbook is
considered, the fact remains that + the cost of
this plan must, be paid for. The money can only
come from the taxpayer's pocket. And that
means your pocket.
If you are happy to subscribe to the plan,
then you must be satisfied to' contribute your
fair shore of the plan's cost.
It is also your responsibility to make sure
that your share is a fair one.

almost certain to turn up among
the evacuees.
There would be extra demands
on a small .town's water' supply
and sanitation capacity. . The town
engineer, who would know what
'these facilatiaS could take and how
best to expand them, is therefore
an important part ofany town's
civil defence setup. Civil defence,
volunteers might be needed to help
him,
The evacuees might outnumber
the town's normal residents by as
many as five to one, That poses
the "problem of la,w enforcement.

Besides the necessity of people
who live in the country and the
small towns and cities to help

in event nuclear war xequires mass
evacuation, there is the possibility
that rural dwellers themselves
may have to evacuate.
Under certain circumstances the
rural : residents must be prepared
to move -to safer territory them-
selves. The chief cause of th e
would be fallout.
11 the weather conditions were
such that heavy concentrations of
this' dangerofis and quite possibly
deadly dust were likely to sift
down on a' town ' or village after
a city . had been blasted by an
H -Bomb, then the inhabitants
would have to seek shelter else-
where. -
How • would such people know
where to go? Or when the 'dang-
er Was such that they must go?
That is another of the many
reasons why Canada seeks to or-
ganize civil defense in every com-
munity. For it 'is the purpose
of civil defence to work out these.
problems and allow„ every individ-
ual to learn and be trained, if
necessary, in the surest and swift-
est method of putting the solut-
ions into action.
If nuclear warfare ever comes..
to Canada, the most permanent.
effects of evacuation of the large
cities likely to be bombed will be
felt by the smaller cities; towns
and villages and even the farmers,
/ For the city resident can save
himself from the destruction of a
hydrogen bomb only by fleeing to
the country. If his city were wip-
ed out and made uninhabitable by
the blast, he would have to re-
main le the smaller centre. He:
could not go home again; he would
have no home to go to.
Under., Canada's civil defence
plan it is the responsibility of the
rural •dwellers to be prepared t9
cope with the problems evacuation
of the cities would" bring them.
And these .problems are many and
varied. •
The immediate demand the ,eva-
cuees would make on, the coun-
try folk would be for shelter, not
only from the elements, and the
weather but also from the, threat
of the blast's aftermath: radioact
, ive fall -out. 'The fall -out of pul-
verized cities from one H -Bomb
could contaminate areas more than
1 100 miles "long and 20 miles wide
f with radioactive dust that might
remain dangerous for from 48
hours up.
Where would a small town or
village shelter up to five times its
normal population for 48 or more?
How would it feed them for that
time? Supply. ti ereewith water?
• These are only a few of the
problems a local civil defence or-
ganization can work out in ad-
vance and it is only by advance
preparedness and training and
practice that the tremendous de-
mands a nuclear emergency would
make on rural dwellers could be
met.

pect the whole country eventually
