Clinton News-Record • qinton' News-Record
March 15, 1917
REAL ESTATE RUMOR HAS IT that anywheite from one to
three Toronto „papers are planning Sunday
editions. Perhaps some of you old-timers will
remember 30 or, 40 .years ago when the "bad
boys" of the day used to go up to the Sunday_
morning train to get their copy of "The Sunday
World." the news boy must not step on the _
.platform to sell the paper but he 'could sell it
from the train steps.
Don't know what happened to stop pub-
lication of _.The .Sunday World or the Morning
World which was at one time the leading morn-
ing pap& for Torontonians, but they disappeared
many years ago. t
BY THE TIME this item is being read, the''
national budget will have been brought &WIT by
Finance Minister Walter Harris, and we will: ,
all know just where the taxes have been trim- \
rued, or expanded.'
All indications, point to a trimmed, budget
'this year, for-in an election:year some reductions
are almost always made.
In the fade of this fact, however, Mr. Harris
is confronted with the adVice of economists in
Ottawa,' and acros,s, Canada. Thi,s expert advice
is founded on the, 'fact that Canada is in the
midst of an inflationary period-the third since
the end of World War II, and the worstlone so
far. Articles penned by some of the 'mbst in- -
formed men of the country, and ,published in
OPEN 'WEATHER
REALLY FINE. weather again , and warm
sun, are definite reminders that spring is not,
too far •away.
And of course,- with spring, will come hope
for completion in *short order of the swimming
pool 'at the community park. MIst of the small
fry, and a good percentage of eir elders are
looking forward to :the first dip in the pool, and
the many happy hours of swimming which • will
follow.
Before aihof this comes -to pass, however,
there will need to be 'a , good deal of work fin-
ished. To do the work, money is needed. At
latest report, it is understood that-some $6,000
must be 'raised this spring.
Support from the entire community has been
given this prbject in the past. With continued.
support, and fipancial help given to any endeav-
our which the committee puts in motion, the
pool will be finished in time for warm weather.
40
Let's all be ready to do our part.
(Financial help will be rewarded -in at least
two ways: early swimming for the youngsters--
and contributions are deductible!)
NO. FLEAS ON HIM '.
FLEAS ARE NO PROBLEM to a smart fox.
There are at least two accounts on record of
how a smart fox de-fleas itself, The fox roams
tI) about fields gathering old bits of animal fur,
such as sheep's wool, from 'bramble patches,
barbed wire fences, tall weeds, etc. Holding
•the scraps of fur in its mouth; the fox trots
down to a pond or river. ' At the edge of the
water, the ,fox turns around and backs slowly
Into the water while holding high the tip of
its nose and scraps of fui. As the fox lowers
its body in the water, the fleas run up- on the
animal's head—and finally onto the MnIc of fur
in its mouth. When the fox is completely sub-
merged except for the tip of its nose, and the
fleas have all taken refuge on the bit of fur,
the 'fox drops the fur and swiftly clambers to
shore. Canadian Scan.

nearly evei'y Canadian pticblication are warning
that the, government must set an example to
thie rest of the nation,, and' start saving money
instead of spending it.
This, then, should lead to no reduction in
taxes, whatsoever, and possibly more surplus at
'the end of 1957 than has been ,reported at the
end' of 1956. This will cause a great deal of
controversy across Canada.
This week we will know whether Mr. Harris
has obeyed the dictates of commonsense political-
ly by coming out with a real election year bud-
get—reductions ifl a lot of things, or whether
;he has decided to obey the advice of -the greatest

things out somewhat. As. the- education cost in-..

His hoeflbeats echo down the lane,
Old leaves swirl up before his course,

Tod soon the gentling hands of spring"
Will calm the wildling, curb his path;

The splendor of this free young, wrath.
