D. J. LANE Secretary President EVERY CARGO CALLS FOR BANKING Its destination may be Bombay, or Oslo, or even fabled Timbuktu. But wherever it is bound, chances are that a chartereq bank is helping to smooth the journey. Service's .provided by the chartered banks sim- plify the task of those who buy or sell in distant lands, who often deal in unfamiliar markets, languages and currencies. With a network of representatives around the world, the banks provide on-the-spot contacts and useful facilities wherever Canadians wish ' to trade or travel. Every day, services of the chartered banks help to move the cargoes that mean so much to so many Canadians. THE CHARTERED BANKS SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY At Home Was Great Success hi Gay Setting (By P. Robertson, 12A) The annual CDCI "At Home" held on the evening of Febru- ary 17, was a great success. An exact count of those present was not available, but the hall was well filled, The guests were welcomed by a receiving line which operated in shifts. Those receiving were: Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Cochrane, Mr, and Mrs, R. J. Homutla Mr. and Mrs. A. Lowe, Mr. and Mrs. A. Whetharn; Steve Scot- chiller and Jeanne Etue, Jim Alexander, Katharine Tritjale The auditorium and lunch room were gaily decorated with orange and yellow streamers. The bright murals, in the audit- orium had as their theme, or- iental scenes from "The King and I". MuSic for the dancing was capably provided by "Red" Ruhl and his group from St. Thomas. Th hall was entered by an imposing gateway which was constructed by the industrial arts students under William Craig's instruction. Only two unfortunate occurrences marred the evening's festivities: the paper streamers, when heated, sagged down among the danc- ers, and several of the guests slipped and fell on the stairs !into the lunch room. Committees MI !lard at Work For 'At Home' (By P. Robertson, 12A) The great success of the "At Home" resulted from the hard work done by these planning committees: Invitations, Sibyl Castle, Bev.

With Lopsided Score (By DoWayne Elliott, 12A) Clinton Senior Redman added another win to their impressive record of three wins, one tie and one loss last Thursday in the !CDCI gymnasium. The last place Wingham Mustangs were swamped by a lopsided score of 54-27 as they tried to stop Clin- ton's bid for the HSSA trophy. Clinton rallied from behind in a 6-1 score at the two-min- ute mark of the first quarter, to tear ahead in a chorus of staccato dribbling and the shrieks' of rubber soles on the gym floor. Wingham never caught sight of them again in spite of Clinton's. disadvantage in having two players benched. Superstar Ron Livermore was out because of his hockey int- erests the same evening. Paul Pickett was burdened with a troublesome cold which hamp- ered his spectacular playing ability. Fouls were evenly distributed with every player having at least one with exception of R. Cummings. Clinton: Michalski 24, Engel- stad 7, Powell 5, Verhoef 5, Garon, 4, Mills 4, Turner 3, Belcher 2, Cyr, Cummings.

Couples Club Goes To Thames Road The Couples Club of Ontario Street United Church travelled by car to Thames Road on Wednesday, February 15 to be guests for the evening. Twenty-three from Clinton joined with 35 ladies and men and 12 choir members for a most enjoyable evening, Under the capable leadership of Jean and Edwin Miller, gam- es, Valentine contests, devotions and a film strip were enjoyed. A variety program which con- sisted of a beautiful rendition of "Loves Old Sweet Song", by the church's organist followed by two solos, by the Rev. Grant Mills accompanied by Mrs. Don- ald Symons at the piano; "Gone Fishing" and a tender love song dedicated to the lad- ies. • A comical reading was en- acted by Myrtle Passmore who entered the room dressed in hilarious costume pulling a bat- tered toboggan describing her experiences on Clinton's' hills. At midnight everyone enjoyed a most delicious smorgasbord supper. Stories of lost and unsung heroes of Canada's past are featured on my new CBC radio series, "John Fisher Feports." The program, heard Monday, Wednesday, and Friday even- ings, on the Trans-Canada net- work, began February 6. If there is a Canadian Davy Crockett we will find him and introduce his story of Canad- ians from coast to coast. I have He Sells Cueiiidi! John Fisher, lawyers writ- er, lecturer and broadcaster, has been a salesrnan all his life. The product he sells is Canada, and he reaches an international market through his lectures, articles and broadcasts. Born in New Brunswick, he is now execu- tive director of the Canadian Tourist Association. His pro- gram, John Fisher Reports, is heard IVIondays, Wednes- days and Fridays on CBC's Trans-Canada radio network. "Bamboozle" Overheard near the butter counter of a ellPerMarket: "Frankly, I want color in the other stuff I buy, simply to bamboozle my kids," 0 Excellent Service Provided by St. John Ambulance It is often said that to be a good spy, or a good detective one should appear as a meter- man or a postman. Such a statement is quite true and it is true because such people are so much a part of our daily life, their service is so taken for granted, that we are hardly aware of them. Another such group whose efficient, effective and unas- suming service is often over- looked, is that of St. John, Am- bulance. Dozens of people in this area have completed courses in 'this training conducted :by C. Magee, RR 5, Clinton. Today, more than 200,000 serve in St. John Ambulance throughout the world, 9,000 of them in Canada and 2,850 in Ontario. The St. John Ambulance has a proud record in Ontario. Al- ong our highways, there are 71 first 'aid stations staffed 24 hours a day, ready to give on- the-spot help to accident vic- tims. In the past year, St. John Ambulance first aid at rugby games, parades, exhibi- tions, and fairs provided help for more than 25,000 people, Sit. John Ambulance first aid train- ing has done a great deal to re- duce time loss due to accidents in factories, In the Province, more than 31,000 were trained in first aid and efficient nurs- ing care, and 41,000 people were taught artificial respira- tion. Many lives have been sav- ed, many injuries minimized as a result. February is "St. John Am- bulance Month" in Ontario. A month when every one of As might take time out to consider the constant, careful and unas- suming service that the volun- teer members of St. John give so willingly in our community. Red Cross Home Nursing Classes were conducted last year by 990 Registered Nurses serving as volunteer instructors, Fisher) one character in mind who did more to shape the destiny of the West than any other un- known hero, In Jerry Potts' we have a frontiersman who would make Davy Crockett look like a nursery-rhyme character. Jerry was the roughsand- ready scout who led the Mount- ies into Alberta. He picked the, site of their first home. He was their interpreter, peace- maker with the Indians, path- finder, hunter and all-round handy man. Yet this warrior- horseman, who could dangle many scalps from his belt, is almost unknown. I will have many stories a- bout the unknown characters and the off-beat places from all parts of Canada. The pur- pose of the series is to fascinate Canadians with the colour and variety of our own country and to encourage fellow citizens to see more of Canada. The series itself will be a parade of people, places and things to do. There will be a definite travel theme running through most of my stories.. I will talk about the glam- orous winter carnival in Que- bec, the roaring Trapper's Fes- tival at The Pas, the Gather- ing of the Clans in Antigonish, and the fascinating Pionera of Saskatoon. - which boasts the world's greatest collection of antique farm equipment. My stories will range from the weird monster of Okanagan to the awesome dinosaurs of Calgary, and to the fairy-tale personalities in the children's garden of wonders* in Montreal. The stories behind many ch- erecters will come to the John Fisher Reports microphone: the oldest living inventor pilot and the man who flew the first air- craft in Canada; the only liv- ing Canadian who crossed the Pacific Ocean in a canoe, the greatest painter of Indians, Museums, festivals, oddities, games, places and people will all be featured on my new radio series. I want to prove that Canada is neither uniform nor dull, Children's Aid Society Handles 58 Adoptions The „annual meeting of The Children's Aid Society of Hur- on .County was held in Huron County Court House early in February, Rev, R.
