THIS IS THE MONTH FOR
Hallowe'en . . . Will it be an,
other UNICEF Hallowe'en in
Clinton? Seems like a good
idea , . the plan lies caught
on in Canada, and income
through this process has risen
from $15,000. in 1955 to $200,000
last year. . . Canada, that
is „
* *
FOUND MYSELF EATING A
strange kind of green cucum-
ber pickle the other day . . .
and checked 'the bottle to see
what was wrong , , They
were made in Spain, packed in
large containers 'there, shipped
here in bulk, re-packed in small
bottles for the grocer's shelv-
es , . All of this was in small
type . . . Nothing wrong with
the pickles, except that they
were not like mother used to
make . . Guess we'll just have
to watch the labels' closer . .
Certainly slows down the shop-
ping, though . . Couldn't we
have one section set aside for
imported goods? and if shop-
pers felt like a bit of a change
they could go find them . . , * * *
THIS IS "BE KIND TO AN-
imals" Week . * *. . *
HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA
begins this week at 9 p.m. Sat-

QUITE A LOT OF INFORMA-
tion has found its way to our
office from Ontario Chiroprac-
tic Association . . Apparently
this group held meetings in
Vancouver, Hamilton and Cal-
gary recently . . and they all
came 'to the same conclusions:
people should' be able to choose
their own health method, the
way they choose their own
newspaper . . . and the Nation-
al Health Program should in-
clude Chiropractic care on an
equal basis with medicine . .
* SR
SOMEHOW, WE CAN'T HELP
but agree . . . Many people do
not know that in Ontario . .
cost of chiropractic treatment
is not paid for under our hos-
pital plan . . . unless they are
referred to a chiropractor by
a medical doctor . . . Yet that
type of 'treatment might be
right for them . . . • * *
WE* HAVE SOME' RED MSS-,
ues on our desk . • . . sent by
a leading tissue manufacturer
. . and the idea is for hunters
to buy and use them . . . seems
those who make tissues fear
that a white one might be mis-
taken for the white flag of a
deer in flight, and the hunter
could be shot . . . Red kerch-
iefs, red hats, red jackets . . .
and red faces if they miss the
game they're after . . what
if a fellow should just not like
red?

QUITE, A NUMBER OF folk
made the journey across the
Atlantic this summer, even
from this rural area .
Sounds' like a reasonable idea,
too . , . Now there is a new
low jet fare, which for $456
will give you a 17-day excur-
sion to Paris, including hotel
accommodations, and sightsee-
ing tours . . Time from Mont-

Bishop Townshend expressed
great pleasure at being present
in the lovely old church where
he was baptized.
His text was from the 15th
chapter and 58th verse of St.
Paul's first letter to the Cor-
inthians, "Be ye steadfast, un-
moveable, always abounding in
the work of 'the Lord."
"The laying on of hands as
practised in the days of the
Apostles has been in usage in
our church 'since Apostolic 'tim-
es," he said. "In these critical
days we are called on daily to
make a good witness for Christ
'in this world. Never in the
history of time has the church
of our Lord Jesus Christ such
an opportunity as in these days.
There is no time or place for
timid souls or faint hearts in
the church,
"Never forget that the ch-
urch is the very body of Christ.
The church is different from
any other institution on this
earth, not just another service
club, which are man-made or-
ganizations, but the church of
the living God.
"The sum total of all your
organizational memberships will
never compare to your mem-
bership in the church of the
living God.
"I leave the, candidates with
three thoughts to 'bear in mind:
first, to show that this is a
believing church, with a faith
