(MacLaren's Studio) Canadians and the population of the United States owe a debt of gratitude to service- men of both countries stationed at Churchill. In this town on the rim of the Arctic, not every day of the brief summer season is as warm as the one on which we arrived at the destination of our journey. When we left the train, like many others I was bundled to the chin in warm woolies, a heavy wartime trench coat, brogues as heavy as lead, slacks with baggy knees and a rain hat tied tightly beneath my chin. Obviously we all expected freezing weather. In a matter of minutes coats were shed and hats thrown back on the plat- form of the sleeping cars. Only apparel I did not regret in the 85-degree temperature were the brogues. Heavy, sandy gravel under foot made them essential as walking gear. I had •a queer sensation of being pretty close to the Al- mighty, for all the world had suddenly turned to sky. It spread above us like a huge blue vault with only a small bit of treeless land left on• wh- ich we stood. A few buildings hugged each other in Hudson's Bay Square. Army buses took us to camp where the finest international relationship in the world exists. Canadian and United States forces work as a unit in this bleak, lonely camp that looks as though fa high wind could blow it into Hudson's Bay. We were shown the apparel, rations and tenting equipment used by the Army, Airforce and Navy personnel of both countries while in Arctic training. Com- pulsory postings to Churchill are for 18 months to two years. I knew next day when the weather "went out", as the natives say, why we owe these men such a debt of gratitude, The sky hung like lead and high winds whipped our cloth- ing and burned our faces lob- ster red. Order Your Town council Monday night received a request from the Clinton Branch 140 Canadian Legion for black top on Kirk Street in front of their hall. However; in view of that fact that money is scarce, and this street is not 'included in the budget for 1960, the request could not be granted. -Connell- lor L. G. Winter, chairman of the public works committee commented that several other similar requests bad been re-' ceived and had been turned down. , Jim McGregor, Kippen, proached council with regard. to buying the weigh-scales which the town operates at the CNR, tracks. However, his suggested price of 8125 was not consid- ered high enough, In any case the scales were not for sale, for -the town feels they should be kept available for the drov- ers who still use them. Permission for opening a restaurant in a mobile building on a foundation at the Becker Trailer Court was considered. Pending approval of the build- ing inspector, Grant Rath, this was approved. Councillor George Beattie re- ported that about half of 'the work on installing new gas furnaces in the town ball had been completed, and that they "Summer", said the young Army Captain who conducted us through the camp, "is never more than a day at a time". CNR officials had given us good advice when they cautioned us to bring warm clothing. One could imagine that all there is to see at Churchill could be covered in a matter of hours. It took us two full days and one unusual evening before we felt we had grasped what this outpost of civilization means to the democratic world. The tide was out when we arrived and I played hop scotch over huge boulders to reach the sea and dabble my hands in the salt water of this great port. Stones on the shore glist- ened with bits of gold and cry- stal and members of the group swore they could see white whales gambolling on the dis- tant homizon.. Only whales I saw were two that were harpooned by a mem-. ber of the tourist party and later deposited on shore. Look- ing like great mounds of plas- tic blubber, they cost slap-hap- py photographers a mint of money for film before 200 tourists had satisfied their pic- ture-snapping phobias. The annual Churchill Ball was planned for our visit. It was a ball all right, for Indians, Eskimos and Service personnel all gathered to trip the light fantastic. I made the great mistake of wearing a red dress to the shindig. Red to an Esk- imo or Indian, must be the come hither sign, for I had hardly taken off my coat when a great bruiser in fringed jac- ket, sporting a Comanche hair- cut, made a bee line for me. A jitterbugging teenager is hard enough to follow, but when you add Cree blood to his veins, it becomes -a contest to see how often you can get your feet from under his clod- hoppers. The next day we visited Br- itish and Norwegian freighters in port for loading grain and would be ready to turn on this, week. Councillor L, G. Winter re- ported that about half of the black top work planned for the year had been done, and chuckled, "It is nice for the councillors who have blacktop past their places," Reeve Melvin Crich rose to the opportunity to state that he "bad only one vote on which roads got black top; the rest of •the votes• came from the other councillors." (Both Prin- cess Street and Orange Streets which cross at Reeve Crich's corner, are paved this fall), Mayor Herbert Bridle defend= ed the Reeve stating that "ab- solutely no pressure was put on by Mr, Crich to have those two streets done. The next person to tell me there was - - I'm going to throw something." Mr, Buruma, who had bought the Taylor property on John Street, had taken up his garden early, so that the town, could lay a drain through it, Mr. Winter commended him for, this co-operation, and expressed the thanks of the town. Mayor Bridle suggested get- ting two trees on Albert Street trimmed shortly, before limbs caused damage. Councillor Win- ter promised the town men would do what they could right away. Some discussion arose over getting a gang of five men in from out of town, With truck Bushell —Westbrook Ruth Elaine Westbrook be- came the bride of Ronald Wil- liam Bushell at a ceremoney in North Street United Church, Goderich. Rev. A. E. Euatace officiated at the wedding, The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Earl Westbrook, Goderich, and the groom is the son of Mrs. Wil- liam E. Bushell, Goderich, and the late Mr. Bushell. The bride chose a gown of bouqUet taffeta fashioned on Edwardian lines with inverted side panels sweeping back in folds to a chapel train. The dress was embellished with mo- tifs of guipure lace traced with tiny pearls to match the juliet cap which held her shoulder- length tulle veil. She carried• a cascade of white roses and gar- denias. Mrs. John Westbrook, RR 2, Clinton, was matron of honor and bridesmaids were Miss Joan Baker, Sarnia, and Miss Judith Westbrook, Exeter. Bonnie Ruth Westbrook, Clinton, was flower girl. They were gowned alike in street-length dresses of sage green silk organza. Groomsman was John West- brook, RR 2, Clinton, and ush- ers were Donald Sanderson, Stratford and Ralph Sweitzer, Exeter. Brian Westbrook, Clin- ton, was ring bearer. Far a wedding trip to Cape Cod, 'the bride wore a green French molaine 'suit, matching hat and gloves, brown leather purse and shoes and a corsage of Talisman roses.

I was enthralled wat- ching freight cars stand on their noses to dump their load, huge gleaming machines and belts miles long that convey tons of grain to storage bins and finally down chutes into the holds of the ships. Canada truly seemed the bread basket of the world 190 feet atop those concrete elevators. I had come a thousand miles due north from Winnipeg to see this sight and I was speechless at the wonder of man's ingen- uity and foresight.

WALLACE'S TURKEYS "ButI cant spend mytelephone money!" This is a true story. One of our telephone people recently passed a neighbourhood lunch counter where some children were about to order a second round of milk shakes and soft drinks. One little boy, called Jimmy, found he only had one dime left, lie announced firmly: "I can't spend my telephone money!" Obviously, Jimmy's parents had convinced him that he'd never have to worry—nor would they—about being late or getting lost if he always kept a dime for a phone call : there's always a telephone nearby I So Jimmy's telephone dime buys his mother peace of mind ...• it seats like such a good idea that children know how to reach honie by phone.
