AUGUST 1$, 1959 0,04: Two -7-7-77.77-7=raiso WE HAVE AN interesting situation along North Street, in St. George's Ward, where the street is really only half a street. This causes quite a problem during winter time, and the travelled portion becomes too small to allow cars to meet properly. Among all the other tasks which the streets committee has been keeping in mind, it might not be any harm to add North Street to the Est. ONE OF THE best values to get from a "vacation is the knowledge, sure and certain, that your own job, your own town, your own friends are just as good, as pretty and as friendly as anyone else's. Nothing we can think of is any better result to accrue from a few days off. We're convinced now that our town is a very satisfactory place, and we all can feel mighty proud of it. Settling down in the work-a-day harness once more is hard enough to think about but it fits smoothly, and we much prefer it to some other jobs we have seen. $500.00 In Prizes First-$250 Second-$150 Third-$100' Tickets: 25c each or 5 for $1.00 Draw at 11 p.m. FREE PONY RIDES - - - - TREATS for all the Children GOOD TO BE BACK • O L SUBSCRIPTION RATES; Payable in advance—Canada and Great Britain: $3.00 a year United States and Foreign; $4.00; Single Copies Ten Cents Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa HALF A STREET CLINTON CONCERT BAND TO PLAY DURING EVENING CLINTON LIONS CLUB MAIN STREET SUMMER CARNIVAL Wednesday, August 19 Proceeds for Welfare Work in Clinton and Community THE CLINTON NEW ERA THE CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Amalgamated 1924 ► rtioctoor WE WERE rmotAto 1O ESCAPO TRAFFIC iif4244ROSt' Games and Bingo at 7.30 p.m. Clinton News-Record EVERY 0 ELCO E Published every Thursday at the Heart of Huron County Clinton, Ontario — Population 2,985 A. L. COLQUHOUN, Publisher WILMA D. DiNNIN, Editor THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1959 REUNION TIME AHEAD? TALK OF AN Old Boys Reunion in Clin- ton in 1960 is in the air. The centennial of our town was celebrated during the summer of 1950. There was an Old Boys Reunion in 1925. Precedent might indicate that the next one should be in 1975. However, lots of the people who enjoyed the event nine years ago feel they may not be around in 1975, and they would like to meet all the old Clintonians and their friends again before that, There is a possibility that a tie-in with RCAF Station Clinton could be planned if a decision to go on with an Old Boys is made, The Station was founded in 1941, and thus, it would be the 19th anniversary. This is not exactly a round number, so possibly we could stretch a point, and celebrate it as the 20th, for the great need for radar training was known in the latter months of 1940, and no doubt initial plans for the station were made that year. With the 110th anniversary of the town, and the 20th anniversary of the Station, Clinton should be able to stage a real "Welcome Home", not only to Clintonians, past and present, but to those thousands of men and women who have studied here in the service of the RCAF. ..laaltezaraisusigiaasmorgazummais igliwamnalinAlt-dat* -yeJ xrc-c-fe-e 77/6 •.W.10",a CLINTON NEWS-RECORD (Thursday, August 11.4, 1919) Arthur Trick, Goderich Town- ship, brought in a specimen of Elmhurst oats which measured 46 inches in length, There were four stocks from one root and they were particularly well headed. R. W. Reed, who has been sup- erintendent of the Jackson Mfg. Co., for the past five years', has resigned his position and left for Toronto Tuesday morning. Geo- rge Phalen has been appointed to the position with Murray Mc- Ewan as assistant. T. A. Trick has purchased a fine Holstein heifer calf which will go to the Toronto fair along with several other of Mr. Trick's fine herd. Mrs. Fred Middleton has as her guests her aunt, Miss Mc- Naughton, Toronto, and Miss Maude L. Cook, Woodstock, who has just returned from France, where she has been engaged in military and civilian relief work. There will be weekly dances at Jowett's Pavilion, Bayfield, every Tuesday and Thursday evening until further notice. Blackstone- Buckley Orchestra, Every year, in our family, we spend more time talking about our 'holidays than most people would if they were planning a trip around the world. * *. If the vacation was for a month, three weeks, or even two, there might be some point in all the talk. But the entire deal con- sists of one week. And one week's holiday is about as beneficial as one drink for an alcoholic. It merely gets the recipient upset, and instills a mad desire for more. Some years we have attended weekly newspaper conventions on our holidays. They are usually held about 700 miles from home. The holiday involves weeks of dis- cussion about wardrobes for both hot and cold weather, half a doz- en firm decisions that we can't afford it, and endless fulminations to plant the kids with somebody. * * * In the end, we declare roundly to each other that we're only young once, and take off in a great flurry of last-minute reser- vations and irritations. And what with all the social events, the late hours and the long trip, we ar- rive home completely fagged and equally broke, the last two bucks having been spent on presents for the kids, grabbed at the cigar stand in Union Station, on the last lap of the journey home. * 4' One year, we decided to just stay home. I was going to paint the trim on the house, On that CLINTON NEW ERA (Thursday, August 14, 1919) Miss Frances Armstrong, Lon- don, is the guest of Miss Annice B'artliff. The visitor and Miss An- nice graduated together from the London Victoria Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Waite, Detroit, and Mrs. Chapin, Lansing, Michi- gan, have been visiting in Clin- ton. Mrs. Waite is a sister of Mrs. W. Cudmore and Mr. George Cook, of town. 40 YEARS AGO 40 YEARS AGO From Our Early Files .1+ * Seriously, though, my Old Bat- tleaxe agrees with me, about men getting away for a change on their holiday& In theory, What burns her up is that men appear to have a wonderful time when they go on a holiday with other men, and women are just not in- terested in going on a jaunt with other women. It is one of the manifold unfairnesses, though why it is so, she can't quite ex- plain. My suggestion that wo- men are eternally fascinated by men, and men can take women or leave them alone, fails to strike a responsive chord. * At any rate, weakling that I ant, I have given in again this year, We have taken a cottage , nearby for two weeks, com- mute the first week, raid the sec- ond week I'll have a peachy holi- day sitting watching the kids While they swim. Oh well, rtrO got her pretty Worried, anyway. be Staying in town for lunch every day that first week, and a fellow can get into a lot of helleryItindh-hoUr, if he puts his mind to it. • * Mind you, I think a woman should get away from her family once in a while, too, Every three or four years a wife should be al- lowed to go and visit her mother, or one of her sisters, for two or three days. As long as she leaves plenty of baking, lots of clean laundry, and doesn't want to spend any money while she's away. Mr. and Mrs. B, Langford and Harold spent Wednesday in Gode- rich, The coming tour of the Prince of Wales will take him into every Canadian province except Prince Edward Island — though surely Prince Edward ought to see the Island—and nearly every import- ant city in the country, As plan- ned, his itinerary will cover 8,800 miles in 70 days. In addi- tion to his public duties, the Prince will sample fishing in Nipigon, duck shooting near Reg- ina, moose hunting in Northern Ontario and mountain climbing in the Rockies, Roy Tyndall has purchased the farm of John Connell on the 16th Concession, 4 * Each year, during the fall, win- ter and spring, we have long, amicable, and reasonable talks about our 'holidays. My wife agrees tha it is only sensible that a man who has a mere week should get away from his wife and family, go on a fishing trip, or get off with some male friends. • * And each year, when my week's holiday looms, she stops being a logical human being and reverts to being a woman, She is not go- ing to be stuck at home with the kids while HER husband goes lar- king off for a week with the boys, enjoying himself thoroughly. * * It's my firm belief, stated on many occasions, that a man should get away from his family once a year. And every hot, dis- gruntled, irritated male tourist I see walking past my office win- dow, herding a horde of demand- ing youngsters and a cross, per- spiring wife, merely confirms this opinion. CLINTON NEWS-RECORD (Thursday, August 16, 1934) Mrs. J. G. Gibbings, Hullett Township, brought into the News- Record office a huge puff-ball weighing 15 pounds. It measures 53 inches around one way and 45 inches the other way. Miss Eileen Rumball is supply- ing in the Hydro office while Miss Bawden is on holidays. The markets: wheat, 90c; oats, 42c; butter, 20c; eggs, 12 to 16c; hogs, $7.65. Mr. and Mrs. George Jenkins, Master Reggie and Miss Minlue Hudson, Toronto, are camping in Bayfield in Mr. Jenkins' de luxe Pullman cabin, Mr. and Mrs. Ar- thur Cantelon spent a week with Mr. and Mrs, Jenkins. Mrs. Lorne Jervis and Mrs. Eld- rid Yeo, Holmesville, with their Sunday School classes enjoyed a pleasant evening at the lake re- cently. occasion I learned two things• that you can't get much trim painted if you knock off every half hour for refreshments; and that I am constitutionally unable to work with the Old Lady as straw boss. That year, I got two and a half windows painted, and they sat like that for about three years, until they faded back into the shabbiness of the rest of the trim. 25 YEARS AGO AGO Ill I-Li/41W Abij Letter to the Editor CLINTON NEWS-RECORD The Editor, (Thursday •August 11, 1919) The News-Record, John H.
