"Check Artist" Makes Off With $800 In Two Tons "'Twee the month before Christ- mas and all through the towns of Goderich and •Clinton there stole a check artist." The story is not a humorous one, however. It was on December 8, that a man (or men) was able to pass off bad checks in two stores• in Clinton and two more in the County town, making off with a total of about $800 Anstett Jewellers, Clinton, re- ceived one of the checks in the amount of $185, for purchase worth $49.95, ',and gave the bal- ance in cash, Ball and_ Match Hardware cashed one of the worth- less pieces of paper, made out for $145, for purchases valued at $2a. Some of the checks, according to investigating pollee, Chief K R. Thompson, Clintort, and' Consta- ble IL M. Parkinson, OPP, Gotler- ich, were made out with the name of Riverside Poutry Company at the bottom--but they were not the customary checks which that firm uses. "Regard your diploma as a milestone,. rather than a goal," urged Rev, C. S. Inder, as he spoke to the assembled students at Clinton District Collegiate In- stitute yesterday -evening. He was the guest speaker at the op- ening night of the school's annual Commencement; "Milestones," said Mr. Inder, "tell you how far you have to go-- not how far you've come! He' urged the students to consider well -their decision to go on with their education. He said that Canada, of all nations, in the world-today, has a desperate need for educated and trained people. Mr. Inder recalled that at "one' time Canadians had been termed "hewers of wood and drawers of water," and he said that though this was certainly incorrect, it could become so, if the young peo- ple forget the worth of getting a higher educa.tion. The speaker warned `thatthe time might come when educated people from out- side• Canada might come here and accomplish the 'bigger tasks, if our Canadian people are not ready to take on these jobs them- selves. "You owe it to yourself to ready Local leenageri Hurt When Car Misses Dead-end `(By our Muslin. correspeddent) Five local 'teen-tigers wer hospi- talized in South Huron Hospital, Exeter on Saturday, following a car accident at 12.30 a.m., which occurred in Hay Township, Driv- er of the car was Robert Lavery, 18, Hensall, who missed a dead end road west of Kippen, and ran the vehicle off the road.

Principal E. A. Fines, who aCt- edaag chairman - throughout the evening, spoke directly to the parents, and asked them to see that their children attended school regularly. He said that too. many of them were staying away from school, without a good enough reason for it. "Regular attendance is essent- ial," said Mr. Fines, "and so is riomework. Some homework should be done every night. It is good to learn to work, and to work hard," he went on, "for at all' jabs, you start at the bottom. The only job I know of where you start at the top is in digging post- holes." Recalling the work of last year's graduates from Grade.13, he said that 14 of them. Were now attend- ing University; five were in Tea- chers' College; two were at Ry- erson Institute. They had, won $1,310 in scholarship-money, and $2,200 in bursaries.
