Th bride is the daughter of Mr, an Mrs. Mac LeBeen and the groo is the son of Mr. and Mrs, Fre Middleton, Clinton. Clinton News Record THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1959 FROM TEN TO ONE HUNDRED CLINTON NOW has a town band. The resounding name of Clinton Concert Band is a fine one, and the possibilities of this band becom- ing a fine band are goad. It will take support to accomplish this. Though the nucleus of the band is its junior members, the bandmaster makes it clear that membership is open to all musicians from ten to a hundred, and a standing welcome is out for them. Only by getting more adults, and more young people interested in the band, can the firm ABOUT MR. K. MR. KRUSHCHEV has been welcomed in the United States, as a special visitor, and his family also. The opportunity for the United States people to show the world how they can act, like civilized people, is there, We fully expect that most of them will be perfect ladies and gentlemen in this unique time of a visit by the leader of a nation which they have come to distrust and fear. That the visit comes prompt on the success- ful landing of a red rocket upon the moon, shows foundation be built. The older people form the firm supports of the band structure. An added advantage to this kind of band, is the opportunity for young and old to benefit from their closeness in music. The knowledge of the experienced player is assimilated by the young, while at the same time the enthusiasm of the young expands to encompass the older ones. The band has gotten off to a very good start, and it deserves the support which will make it continue to grow and develop, AND THE MOON that Mr, K, has out-manoeuvered the United States as far as publicity goes — and the Am- ericans, with their Hollywood style promotions, will , dislike this. We note that no one has started calling the glowing night orb, the Russian moon, just be- cause a flag has been planted there. It would appear that it will take a good bit more effort 1,,o set down men and colonize the moon, and thus in reality claim it, or a part of it. MORE MARKINGS (Exeter Times-Advocate) ARE COUNTY roads sufficiently well mark- ed to safeguard today's travelling public? We think not. The recent tragic death of a NATO air cadet in an accident at the intersection of High- way 21 and the Crediton road helps to illustrate the point. The only approach sign indicating the intersection of the provincial road is one which states "Through Highway 500 Feet." During the inquest into this accident, the sign was de- scribed as only in "fair" condition. That's generous, in our opinion. We check- ed it recently and found it virtually impossible to read at night. This leaves the illuminated stop sign at the intersection itself as the only effective marker. None of the county roads has centre lines, either, and this makes driving difficult particu- larly when it's dark. With no lanes to guide them, drivers often crowd across the centre of the road. The county is already hard-pressed for funds to keep pace with the demands for road im- provements which have been responsible, per- haps more than any other area of expenditure, for recent increases in the county rates. But it is not wise to skimp on the essential markings which must be provided to assist in the preven- tion of the Mounting toll of traffic.

FAG TWO CLINTON :NEWS-RECORD THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER L7, 2959 Given in marriage by her fath- er, the bride wore a floor-length gown of chantilly lace and nylon tulle over slipper satin. The fit- ted bodice of chantilly lace with its sabrina neckline was beauti- fully embroidered With irridescent sequins and seed pearls and had lilypoint sleeves, The aisle-wide skirt of nylon tulle had an overlay of scalloped chantilly lace. A jew- elled tiara held the wide chantil- ly lace bordered French illusion .veil. She carried a bouquet of red sweetheart roses. Miss Marlene Easom, London, was the maid of honour in a waltz-length dress, blush pink ny- lon taffeta, styled with fitted bod- ice, scooped neckline and cap sleeves. The bouffant skirt featur- ed a butterfly bow at the front waistline with wide streamers to the hemline. Miss Gwen McDowell, sister of the groom, and Miss Phyllis Glen, Goderich, were bridesmaids, wear- ing gowns of periwinkle blue, styl- ed similar to the maid of honour, They all wore picture hats in mat- ching nylon trimmed with forget- me-nots and irridescent sequins, and carried bouquets of pink and white earnations. The little flower girl, Miss Gwen Mills, Kirkton wore a dress of blush pink and carried a basket of pink and white carnations. The groomsman was Lloyd Mc- Dowell, Westfield, and the ushers were Fred Armstrong, brother of the bride and' John Buchanan, Westfield, A reception followed in the church parlour where the bride's mother received the guests in a gown of printed suedine in royal blue and burgundy with winter white accessories and a corsage of 40 YEARS AGO CLINTON NEWS-RECORD (Thursday, September 18, 1919) The annual decoration cere- mony at Clinton Cemetery, con- ducted by the Society of Oddfel- lows, was of special interest this year, as a memorial service was also held, conducted by Rev. Cap- tain McKegney, in memory and in honour of Brother Murray Draper whose body lies overseas, having died a hero's death in defense of the Empire. Members of the Clinton Lodge formed in proces- sion for the route march to the cemetery, each member carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The band led the parade playing suitable hymns, Miss Almiretta Cook, or as her Clinton friends best know her, "Retta", daughter of Thomas H, Cook, Queen Street, Clinton, was married in High Park Baptist Church, Toronto, to Ralph Row- ley Howson, Toronto. Lavern Churchill returned to his home in Goderich Township from Orono and other eastern points. Mr. Churchill, in connec- tion with the great reconstruction movement, has had charge of the education of over 500 foreign em- ployees of the C.N. Railway on the Toronto and Trenton Division. 40 YEARS AGO CLINTON NEW ERA (Thursday,. September 18, 1919) A very large number attended the flower show in the agricultur- al office and the showing of flow- ers was excellent. A special at- traction was the wax plant of E. Carter, which was over 40 years old and with vines over 1000 feet long. Prize winning asters were shown by: first, Mrs. George Mc- Taggart; second, J. Rands; third, F, Dixon. An auction sale of flow- ers was held, which netted the hospital fund $14. Mr. and Mrs. Moffatt Aiken and Willard, Allenford, have been visiting at the home of Mrs. Aik- en's brother Mr. George Crooks on the Base Line. A serious accident occurred at the very dangerous level crossing of the Grand Trunk at the eleva- tor on the London Road, when Roy Plumsteel and Mrs. Plumsteel were returning to the farm, ac- companied by Mrs. Henry Plum- steel. They were struck by a light engine on its way to Goderich. It is hoped that the town will take action to render this crossing less dangerous. Guy Hicks, Goderich Township, has purchased the house of the late Mrs. George Hanley, Ontario Street. How about a spot of book re- viewing this week, for a change? Anyone who doesn't read books, and there are plenty of them, might as well turn to the clas- sified ads, because this won't int- erest him. * Inordinate and uncontrollable reading is one of the several major flaws in my character. Print on paper is to me what fer- mented or distilled liquid in a container is to an alcoholic. • * Like the alley, I prefer the good stuff, if I can get it, but if there's none around, I'll take whatever is available. Sometimes when I've reeled through a reading binge, and there'S nothing left in the house, and the booksellers are closed, I wind up gulping fever- ishly from such fare as the Ladies' Home Journal, a Superman comic, or one of the kids' Think and Do books, • * * I've even been reduced, at the end of such a lost weekend, to reading in French and English the literature on the breakfast cereal boxes. * * * I have no idea how many books I read in a year. There's no way of keeping track of them. I delib- erately read four or five at a time, keeping them in different places in the house, in order to confuse my wife, who abhors my addiction. I read, crunched over the back t)f the toilet, while I'm rubbing the lather into my face for a shave, ''requently, when I have finish- ed writing this column, about two a,m,, I'll sneak into the living- room, pull ,a brand new paper- back from under the piano, and guzzle it before going to bed. This produced sympathy the first couple of times I tottered down, red-eyed and careworn, to go to Work in the morning. But she caught me at it one 4 a.ni, Anyway, I've swilled my way through a few interesting books lately and thought I'd mention them, IDOn't expect a scholarly review, with plot outline, tracing of symbolism, literary anteeedente and all that jazz. I leave it for the pipe-smoking professors, and 25 YEARS AGO CLINTON NEWS-RECORD (Thursday, September e0, 1934) Mr. Morley Counter received official notification from the Civil Service Commission, Ottawa, of his appointment as postmaster here, to fill the position left vac- ant last spring by the death of Mr, James Scott. A motor accident resulted in the death of Harvey T, Robinson and the serious injury of Charles Brown, son of Mrs. A. S. Inkley. Mr. Brown has a broken hip, some broken ribs and severe cuts and bruises on his head and legs, hav- ing 27 stitches in his head. It is hoped he will recover as he seems to have no serious internal injury. Mr. and Mrs, Sam Castle, Jr„ have taken part of Mrs. Appleby's house and are getting settled there this week. Marion Jean, daughter of Peter J. McEwan and the late Mrs. Mc- Ewan, Goderich, was united in marriage to Wilfred Roy Chowen, Toronto, son of Mrs. Chowen and the late James G. Chowen, Clin- ton, 10 YEARS AGO ' CLINTON NEWS-RECORD (Thursday, September 15, 1949) Four building permits, approved by Building Inspector G. W. Rath; were granted: William Grigg, brick dwelling on Queen Street, at about $3,500; W. L. Johnson, garage on Mill Street, $200; J. W. Counter, temporary lumber stor- age shed at Albert and Princess streets, $200; J. W. Counter, brick and concrete office building Albert and Princess streets, $800. Clinton Colts went one up in their Huron-Perth. Baseball finals with Hensall, whipping the visit- ors 16-9, in Community Park, Clinton, before the largest crowd of the season. A 30-foot sloop, the "Shagbark", Detroit, put into Bayfield harbour on Monday, September 12, and docked until the storm had blown itself out on Wednesday. The crew were all law students at the University of Michigan, Ann Ar- bor. They had been on a cruise on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.' A sea plane, with Mr, Doug- las and Mrs Winnington, Hunts- vine abroad, also sought refuge from the storm at Bayfield. 0 "The good die young" . . is es- pecially true of resolutions. 0 There is little harmony in the home where parents are contin- ually harping. the earnest English students. * * I've been nipping at one of the books between paragraphs of this effort. It's written by Harry Golden, of whom I have never heard, and is called Only In America. Golden is a Jew who lives in the deep South and puts out a newspaper in which there is nothing but editorials. His book is a collection of short pieces, pithy, shrewd, witty, learned and very human. Highly recommend- ed as a bedside companion, if you can't do better than a book. * * * • I've just finished Lolita, the book which has had such an in- flammatory effect on would-be censors, scaredy-cat publishers and timid head librarians. No, you can't borrow my copy. It is a brilliant, bawdy book, haunting and hilarious. Some of it is as funny as anything I've read, some as tragic. The morons won't un- derstand it, and the teenagers won't have the patience to sort it out, so I don't know whose morals it threatens, * * * Another is Dr. Zhivago, by Boris Pasternak. It won a Nobel prize, which Russia wouldn't let him collect, and I don't blame them, It's a devastating picture of Russia from 1900 to about 1950. A fine, poetic work, if you can stomach the interminable Russian surnames, nicknames, given names and pet names. * * And there is Watch That Ends the Night, by Montreal novelist Hugh MacLennan. This is a revo- lutionary approach to the modern novel in that it tells a story. Its language is apparently simple, but what it says is sensitive, wise and strong. One of Canada's best, MacLennan has a control and maturity few writers of fiction on this continent can boast. This book alone is ample proof that Canada produces more than hoc- key players, maple syrup and rye whiskey, There you are: four books as different as could be, And if I've interrupted you just when the Mickey Spillane hero was about to kick the lady in the groin, hope you'll pardon the intrusion. The bride chose a light btu suit with beige feather hat an corsage of red roses. She was at tended by her sister, Miss Maxin LeBeau in a navy blue suit wit white feather hat and corsage o red roses, Robert LeBeau attend ed the groom. The bride's mother wore a flow ered shantung dress with corsag of pink roses and the groom's m ther was in beige lace with cor sage of yellow roses. After the ceremony the brid party gathered at the home of Mr and Mrs, Mac LeBeau where a de licious wedding supper was serve by Mrs. LeBeau assisted by her sister, Mrs. Arnold Dale. Th bride and groom left amid a show er of confetti and best wishes for a trip to Niagara Falls, Buffal and Toronto. They are now liv ing in- Clinton. Prior to the marriage, the brid was feted at a shower given b her friends at the home of Mis Joan Sharp, where Miss Sybi Castle and Joan Sharp were host esses. Many beautiful gifts wer received. She also was honoure at a shower in her home school SS 10, Stanley, planned by Mis Jean Rathwell and Mrs. Stewart Broadfoot (nee Olive Aikenhead) Over 60 friends attended and th bride received many lovely gifts pink carnations. She was assist ed by the groom's mother in gown of printed suedine in sapphir and mink tones and matchin feathered hat with a pink carna tion corsage. The bride's table was centr with a beautiful 3-tiered weddin cake, flanked on both sides wit lighted tapers in silver candlebr and small bouquets of baby pin and white 'mums.

They will make thei home in Westfield. The groom is a graduate o Western Ontario Agricultural Col lege -at Ridgetown.
