'PAPnts NF,.'Spq PERS cO'ASSO' THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1957 MODERN LORD'S DAY WHILE ONE OF Toronto's daily newspap- ers is fighting. for the right to continue publish- ing .a Sunday edition, a rather interesting bit of legal knowledge has come to light in the county town. Apparently, although it's legal to arrest a man on Sunday, or execute a warrant or sum- mons on Sunday, there is nothing in the law to authorize the taking of information on Sunday, (In court circles, "information" is the name ap- plied to a proceeding which is in the nature of a prosecution.) The Crown was taken by surprise and in- dicated that he would consider lodging an ap- peal, when .Magistrate D. E, Holme's dismissed a charge on this basis. As the 'Magistrate 'in - TIME BRINGS THE MOVING of the drug store from the Bank • of Montreal building, last week,, means breaking of a tradition one hundred years old. That particular location in Clinton has had a drug store since 1857. Other changes are indicated in Clinton in the near future. Rumours have it that a grocery store is about to be located in a downtown area, Where there was never a business before. Just -- . rkhat repercussions this will have on established food stores remains to be seen. terprete•cl the situation, a man who is arrested late Saturday night, when no justice of the peace is 'available, must be detained in police cells until Monday before he carr be brought up for a re- mand or freed on bail. Mr, Holmes said, "T dislike to present the law in a light that laymen might consider absurd, But, if that's the way' it is, it's up to Parliament to do something .about it... or :for them to over- ride ray decision." We would suggest that if the Toronto news- paper does not win its current battle, and/or if the Ci3C succeeds in its attempt to resist pros- ecution on a similar charge giving as its reason that it is a crown corporation, then this is another absurdity in the law of the land, and it's up to Parliament to do something about it. ABOUT CHANGE Every time a business doses its doors, or a new one moves into town; it sets off a chain re- action which is sometimes felt soon, and some - time's is not - evident for months, Then that change in turn brings about others. One thing is sure -the people of Clinton and district who have been used to the sight of a vacant lot across the street as they leave the post office, cannot help but be reminded as they see the two new stores across the way, that time changes all things. Of course none of us would have it otherwise, OFFICIAL DEFINITION OF A COW (Sudbury Star) PERHAPS HE just got tired of all the of- ficial gobbledegook -the ..official language of politicians and civil servants calculated to throw Mr. .Average Citizen, We refer to an official US. Department of Agriculture bulletinthat defined a cow. School students might find it useful in preparing an essay. Here it is: "The cow is a mobile, animated 'Machine- housed achine housed in p5"ocessed leather. One end is equip- ped with a'mower,'grinder and the other stan- dard equipment, including bumpers, headlights, wingflaps and a foghorn. At the other end is a milk dispenser and insect repeller. "Centrally located is a conversion plant con- sisting of a combination storage and fermenta- tion vat, three converters in series and an in- tricate arrangement of conveyor tubes. "This machine is also equipped with a cen- tral heating plant, pumping system and air con- ditioning, "Although mysterious and secret, this plant is unpatented, It is available in various sizes, colors and output capacity ranges 'from one to 21 tons of milk a year." There in clear and simple language is an official definition of a cow. It is a relief to get away from the aforesaid and wherewiths as well as .the parties of the second and third parts, usually found in official government documents. WAS IT YOU?

At first I used 4;o be terrified when I'd come home from work some day and find her standing in the 'centre of an empty room, rolling her eyes around at the walls and ceiling, and muttering to herself. * A, k But now I know it's just the an., nual spring frenzy and it doesn't bother me so much. I'm not happy about it, but I know it has to run its course, and nothing -neither appeals to reason, pleas of bank- ruptcy, ankruptcy, nor threats of the divorce . court -will stop it until the fever is • purged, ,P 4, * The moon is supposed to have a powerful effect on refugees from the looney-Ibin. But it's spring sun- shine that drives steady, sensible, women haywire. All it requires is a shaft of that yellow spring sun- light striking the living -•room wall- paper, which was new last year. The paterfamilias, or Joe of the family, as he is better known in this age, walks in, all unsuspect- ing, after a hard clay's work. He's been getting along pretty well with the old Trouble and Strife lately', and views life with the happy fatalism of the peasant who con tentedly tills his fields on the slopes of 'Vesuuvi us, A11 he wants is a good hot din- ner, a pleasant exchange of the day's news, a half-hour with his paper, and a eortifortalble chair in front of the TV.

The young, green husband is liable to 'call his wife and de- malnd to know what's the big idea. .Czt the inti stager, ,who's been through ten, twenty, thirty years of it, is much more likely to put his head in his hands and stare bleakly at the opposite wall, as the horrible realization dawns that she's into the spring, redecorating again. * a: * If you think I don't know what I'm talking about, drop around to our house. We're right into it. This year it's the dining -room. For a couple of years, until . a week ago, it was a playroom for the kids, mainly because we didn't have any dining -room furniture. They liked it that way, I liked it' that way. It was a pleasant room, full of books, toys, broken record- player, rubber boots and great boxes of things we didn't have room for anywhere else. It had character. My son camehorne from the hos- pital after his operation, the other day, He headed straight for the playroom to make sure his sister hadn't been horsing around with his most treasured possessions, Ile got such a shock that he started to cry and demanded to be taken back to the hospital, "There was this deranged female, up on a lad- der, spattered with paint, smear- ing something called Georgian Rose onto the ceiling.

All this proves, of course, is that you're an insen- sible slob, who takes no interest hi the house, and doesn't care "how hard 1 slave to snake this filthy old place decent.!' In self-defence, I started making timid remarks about colors, like: "Yes, dear, I like the Deep Plum, too. No, dear, I quite agree, that Stark Yellow IS a bit common." This, of course, merely irritated her, as it didn't leave any room for argument., * ,k * Now I have thb technique mas- tered. It's simply a matter of ac- quiring a few adjectives. When she asks how I like the Curdled Cream, I snort: "Good Lord, wo- man! Get some imagination, some sweep, some life into the room. I'd ggest doing the walls in the Vivid Violet, the Ceiling in Passion- ate Pink, and the woodwork in the plain off Purple. That'll give it richness, warmth, vitality." She looks at me with a mixture of horror and respect, and creeps off into a corner with her color chart while I pick up my paper, and give it a couple of good artis- tic shakes before turning to the sports page., Truth .of the !natter is that every woman is an artist at heart, and we should not discourage them during their annual Spring fling. And I still say this, even though - the cream I poured into my toffee last night turned out to be some white paint she'd mixed up in the cream jag.• GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CERTIJCA.TES - The PREMIE, TRUST CO.
