B FINANCING
TIE TOWN COUNCIL on Monday night
expressed concern over. the ,possible 'liability for
which the tax payers aright be assessed should
difficulty arise overfinalleing the nevi. swim-
ming. pool,. In preparation for any eventuality,
they appointed a two man committee. ,
We are fully in accord with the principle
of .keeping taxes down, Surely, with the average
individual paying close to 50 percent of income
sin tees .of some form pr other, it is 'good to
see any governmental body paying attention to•
the matter of the .tax level.
However, • in looking back •over the • past ,;'e
find that the taxpayer, through the' council,
has been very stingy with their rrzoney with
regard to recreation, Support.,
Throughout the rept of this part of Ontario,
.‘councils have seen: fit to use a certain, part of
the tax dollar to support' organized sports pro-
grams and adult recreation groups, to the benefit
of all concerned. Clinton has spent very little.
In the meantime Clintonians have not been
slow to show their appreciation of the groups
who have supported sports prograins. For in-
stance, history shows that in 1949, the. Clinton
Colts hockey team. gave ;the Lions Club' $200 in
appreciation of the help the Clu'b had been to
them' in the past. Last year the 'Teen Town
presented the Lions Club with $250 in .apprecia-
tion of their sponsorship,`•and the request that
the money go toward: the pool, Wand when it
was built.
* ,Clinton's recreation .groups' are appreciative,
HEALTH
. A WARNING that r'C "radians be - wary in-
deed of national ealth •plans, which cannot be
'anything but costly arid.for:which thejy, through
tax increases, will have to pay;" conies from
the Virden Empire Advance, Virden; Manitoba,
is .the centre of the oil development in that
province, •
In any- Case, this article 'states that the
plan will be another instance of paternalistic
socialism. '
The Virden paper feels it is impractical
from the standpoint that hospitals are crowded
now with hospitalization for those who need .it
badly, and a goverment health scheme would
,encourage , those who' are not so needful, end
also • for hypochondriacs to'crowd the facilities
past the Melt.
s . further statement ie that for many mil-
lions of Canadians a. national health plan is not
'needed. At the end of 1955; 6,600,000 Canadians
were covered by .voluntary hospital insurance;
5,750,000 had insured themselves against the
cost of operations and 4,600,000 had insurance
covering doctors' bills. 'Another 3,000,000 are
covered by government hospital insurance plans

land,

NOT -EVICTING RADIO
"CLEARLY", states' -"Industry, "whatever
else TV is. doing et isn'tputting. radio out of
business," -'
Industry is a monthly 'publication of the
Canadian Manufacturers' Association, Inc. They
record the increase in radio sales during each of
the past two years, and suggest • that one distinct
and decided advantage of radio is: it doesn't
require one's complete and undivided attention
as does that other magic box.
However, another advantage given is the.
wide choice of alternative programs available.
We can definitely agree with Industry in
the prediction that radio is going to be with us
fop a Jong time yet.
"Help Thou The Helpless"
LEAFLETS have been distributed. through-
out .'tris district requesting support of the Can-
adian Nationat Institute for the Blind.
There is no need to emphasize the great
need of these' people Tess fortunate than many
of us. Everyone is aware of the fact that
money` is needed to help theta learn !how to
help themselves.
Don't delay. Fill out the check provided
in the leaflet, and send your .contribution right
away, Cash donations may be made also- tqi
W. V. Roy, Clinton, local chairman,
•
Meanwhile in looking batik over the town's
record, we not that c'onsistiTrrtly the budget has,
allowed for one mill to be spent at the Chilton
Community Park. )ust as consistently only, part
of this has been spent, In Some years, only .half
of than allowance has gone into the -park. In
fact, when the decision was reached in the
Clinton Community Athletic Field Board Sot -
ficial name for the Parr • Board) to build .a
wading pool (this was in 1.951) the town did
not finance this • project to any great extent.
A number of groups, including the Women's
Institute and the Lions Club pitched in thein
dollars to build the wading pool on torn land
for the good of the town's youngsters.
Now does it not seem strange to find that
the town fathers are backing away from any
responsibility with regard to the expense of the
pool? So far as we know, the council has not
been asked for any money, .They have merely
been asked to support the building by qualifying
for the provincial grant which will help make
the pool Irosrsi'ble. •
We feel that it would not be amiss for the
town council to budget for some fairly substan-
tial surn next year to Help with the pool's instal
lation, Certainly Clinton has spent little on the
munieipa1 level for the, support of recreation for
its people.
However the council hasneet been asked Tor
,this support, and we- rather feel that it will not
be necessary at all, if the enthusiasm for the
project which has been evident so far,.continues.
SCHEME
the nation .most effectively, it seems, would be
in the field of payments' for indigents!' and of
payments for chronic` diseases in the cases of
individuals' who cannot bear the whole cost of
a long, illness," says' the Virden Advance, and
suggests a .reduetion in taxes, thus leavingw_in
the,hands of taxpayers rrrore of their own money
so tliat they can more' effectively help" them,-

It is often necessary to publish

Approximately 50 to 60 per cent
of the spring grain harvest is now

"GOODSPOR.TS"
" "It might be that Canadian wo-
men try to be good sports and
match drinks with their men?"
Dr. Gordon Bell, special lecturer
en alcoholism at the University of
Toronto, suggests the •above pos-
sible reason why there are chore
women drinkers in Canada than in
the United States. • Dr. Bell has
been associated with the treatment,
of about 3,000 alcoholics and prob-
lem drinkers. His words should
carry weight. •
The 'Alcohol Research -Founda-
tion of Ontario,' with which Dr.
Bell has worked, reports that 64
percent of Canadian women take
a drink, compared to 46 peicent
in the United States. In addition;
to this startling statistic there is
the sobering fact .that between
1944 and 1953 the number of ,wo-
men alcoholics- in Canada° increase
ed by 60• percent.
If any of our Canadian women
are trying to match drinks with
their men, Dr. Bell has a serious
warning for them. They are act-
ually in much more danger of be-
coming alcoholics, than their hus-
bands. .A. hundred: -pound woman,
would suffer just twice the harm
from alcohol than her two -hundred
pound husband would, for the ef-
fects are directly proportional to
body weight.
