CLINTON .NEWS-RECORD THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1958 FOR THE first time since 1956, ratepayers in the Town of Clinton will have an opportunity to choose the leaders they wish to govern their affairs for the next twelve months. For three years now, the men on council have remained the same. They have gained in knowledge and interest in the affairs of Clinton Now some of them are reaching for higher rungs on the municipal ladder. Some new men are asking for a seat on council. It is the responsibility of all ratepayers to consider the situation seriously, and make it a LAST WEEK we wrote that Clinton is missing the boat is so far as civil defence plan- ning is concerned. Now we are more convinced of it. In Orillia last week, a complete survey of the town was carried out, and facilities of the area were discovered for accommodating large numbers of evacuees in the event of an H-bomb attack. Clinton's reeve attended as a delegate of the county, and took part in the work of the survey. He reports a well-organized pro- ject, and a good deal of work done. This is the first survey of its kind to be carried out in Ontario. There has been one in Nova Scotia, and another in New Brunswick The fact is, that this survey could have been carried out in Clinton, If our leaders had been ready to accept the need for civil defence plan- ning last winter, when it was presented to TOWNS OF Huron and Perth, admittedly the driest in Ontario, are taking much interest in the operation, or non-operation, of the Canada Temperance Act which controls liquor use there. These towns are not seeking an "out" toward liquor sales; they do want a measure that will allow police to control drinking in their areas. Exeter started the ball rolling with the request that Ottawa alter the act to prevent point to go to the polls on Monday to vote for their choice. In Hullett, too, electors will be eststing their ballot for the men they feel are best capable of doing the job. Hullett, also has not had an election for several years. A strong turn-out to the polling places in- dicates interest in their own futures, by the ratepayers themselves. Strong support will en- courage those elected to govern well. Vote for the men of your choice. then, then Clinton could have had the oppor- tunity of such a survey. The records produced (we understand at no cost to the municipality) are invaluable in planning for a town's future. Clinton could have had them. Instead, when the opportunity was before our council, the men presenting it were treated quite rudely; were cut off in the first sentences of their explanation of the plan; were dismissed without having a chance to provide background information on the idea. Clinton is missing the boat on civil defence planning. Already the great benefits to be had by this initial exercise have been lost. What it may mean to Clinton citizens in actual dollars, to say nothing in lives and loss of creature com- forts in case of disaster, no one can ever measure. Let us stop hiding out head under a -bushel and accept the facts of life as they are. certain irregularities — as motorists being al- lowed to drink in their cars. Goderich shied away from an appeal to the Government fearing they might be told to take the CTA or get into the Ontario liquor sale system. Listowel has been debating the issue with one suggestion that they stay CTA but with practically a new act. Clinton is taking a wise view in naming three councillors to make a thorough study of the CTA and, the Ontario system and report to them. From Our Early Files 40 YEARS AGO 25 YEARS.

Canada will be called upon to restore the flocks and herds of Europe, and the after-war demand will be greater than the war demand, is the view of those in touch with conditions. 10 YEARS AGO Clinton News-Record Thursday, November 25, 1948 Wilbert R.

(London Free Press, November 11) 40 YEARS AGO Clinton News-Record Thursday, November 28, 1918 According to statistics at hand, there were in October in Ontario 3,015 deaths from influenza. The Provincial Board of Health says that this figure falls short of the total number, but that many were actually reported. These were for the most part persons between the ages of 15 and 45, Many of them were the parents of young children. We have heard much about war orphans, There are in Canada and the world today many thousands of "flu" orphans. In Huron County during Septem- ber there were six fires, causing a loss estimated at $1,145. Of this amount, $945 was made up by in- surance, $200 being dead loss. Of course, as a matter of fact, the whole $1,145 was dead loss, the county being actually that much the poorer owing to those fires.
