AMONG: THE PECULIAR things which the Conservative govern- ment has come upon in their ten- ure at Ottawa, is about 15 million yards of cloth valued at about 15 million dollars , It's been in storage tinge the Korean crisis, Way back in 1952 or to . . and Was meant to make uniforms and such . An estimate given in the dal y press is that there is enough to last for 25 years if each of the 120,000 men in the armed forces were given a new uniform each year . . . That's quite a leg- acy ' to get from the Liberal re- gime . . . Of course the cloth is so old that it will have to be dis- carded because of spoilage . . but at one time must have been considered a legitimate "defence" expenditure .. . * * * ONCE AGAIN THERE WAS A slight overflow of newsy items on the desk . . however, since we like all the stories people bring us to publish, sometimes we are too eager and accept too many . Though we had room for a history of 'Chiding at RCAF Station Clin- ton, we did not manage the space for the town Guides and Brownies . . . As a result there is something, to look forward to for next week. * * * WE'VE GOT A CORRECTION TO make in the story of the Concert Band last week . . . we left the impression' that the band had re- ceived. $451.76 so far . . . this should have read $251.76, which the band has acquired in personal illapearance since they have been organized . . . Sorry for the proof- reader's error. * . - * i; * SURE MADE SHORT WORK . . and silent . . . of the old Bank of Montreal . . . Somehow we bad pictured a lot of clatter . . and one of those demolishing machines you see pictured sometimes, where a big steel ball is swung at the end of a long chain to batter a wall down . . . Oh, well, that would probably have shook Clinton right to the• core . . . • • WE NOTE A COUPLE of stories in one issue of a daily paper . . one tells of a fanner out checking his cattle near Owen Sound( and ,being electrocuted , by live wires running: over his farm land . . Another tells of a fanner in, New York State interrupting telePhone and telegraph wires between New York and Toronto for nearly •two hours, when he- cut a cable, while digging a hole to bury a dead horse , . . Neither story showed concern for the cattle, nor for the Four girls from Clinton and two from Auburn graduated last week from hospital schools of nursing.
