Letter to the Editor 40 Years Ago CLINTON NEW ERA Thursday, December 8, 1921 The Hon. William Lyon Mac- kenzie King is Canada's new Prime Minister, There are 118 Liberal seats in the House. Miss Eliza Mountcastle fell and broke her arm last week and later Miss Ellen Mount- castle fell and broke her hip. Manager Manning showed the "Mark of Zorro" in the Princess theatre. Jabez Rands has sold a nine month old pig which weighed 360 pounds. Mr. Rands must be some feeder. New motor licences will be available by January 1. N.

Eighteen applicants have been received by the Clinton Model school board for the princi- pal's job vacated by C. D. Bouck, who after ten years here is going to join the staff of Toronto Normal, Miss Ellen Mountcastle fell at her home and fractured her right hip. She is 88, probably the oldest living native-born Huronian. A social gathering was held at the home of T. R. Jenkins, Huron Road, to mark the end of the Holmesville beef ring year. A debate on "resolved: that a young man should not marry until he has enough money to support a wife" was won by the negative side. John Butts has returned home to Kippen from the West, intending to farm. SUGAR and SPICE Smart Shoppers!

SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY, SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME! Lots of advice is given these days about winterizing your car. Garage mechanics are eager to put all things right that might be wrong with the innards of your vehicle, However, these Huron county win- ters require a bit more attention than just some mechanical adjustments. With the light snowfall and then frost which was experienced early this week, pedestrians had to adjust the way they stepped along the sidewalks in or- CHEMICAL Agriculture News tells us that the cost of living in this era of high prices is not so serious as we think it is. Reporting on some facts and figures about food the magazine notes: "The real cost of our food today is lower than it has ever been. We spend only 20 percent of our take-home pay for food: Wages from one hour of factory work buy 83 percent more round steak, 126 percent more milk than in 1929." The report says farmers are ef- ficient and are becoming even more so. One fanner now produces food and cl- othing for 26 people. One hour of farm labour now produces four times as much food and fibre as it did in 1919-21. Crop production is 65 percent higher per acre.. Food supplies in this country are called "the most varied and nut- ritious in the world." Food is a bargain in Canada today because of teamwork of farmers, in- dustry and government. So, anyhow, der that they did not slip. Motorists had to do the same. There is an art to controlling a motor vehicle on icy roads. By the middle of January we'll all be accust- omed to it, that is, if we've not had a serious accident by then. But right now, it needs a little more caution; a realization that this is not fine summer weather with dry pavements below the wheels, the late Karl Homuth, who represented one of the most progressive and pros- perous communities in Canada, the Kitchener area. Back in 1911 there were a number of manufactureri and other businessmen who found it feasible and perhaps in the public interest that they be in the House of Commons. But not so today. The man who is taxed the heaviest is represented the least. here is something for father to think about as he helps push mother's groan- ing basket around the grocery stores and food markets. The Teacher I took a piece of plastic clay And idly fashioned it one day, And as my fingers pressed it, still It moved and yielded to my will. I came again when days were past, The bit of clay was hard at last. The form I gave it, still it bore But I could change that form no more. I took a pie& of living clay And gently formed it day by day And molded it with power and art young child's soft and yielding heart. I came again when years were gone, It was a man I looked upon, He still that early impress bore And I could change that form no more. —Anonymous Do you knew something? We haven't any national char- acter, There's no such thing as. "typical Canadian". We're just a vague, unformed glob of human beings who happen to live in the same vast hunk of geography. 1sta that a fine state of affairs, with Christmas coming on and everything? I learned this while reading a couple of new books about Canada this week, The authors seemed not only disturbed but displeased. because they were unable to put down .a list of adjectives, point triumphantly and say, "There you are: A typical 'Canadian" This search for .a Canadian identity has become a regular parlour game among writers 25 Years Ago CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, December 10, 1936 A Christmas issue with cov- er page in four coloars.

B. .S1VIHXY) and intellectuals, I find the whole problem remarkably un- disturbing, rd: rather be a typ- ical human being than a typical Canadian. Have you ever not- iced that when people say, "He's a 'typical American" (or Englishman, Frenchman, Ger- inan), they don't mean it as a compliment? 4' )4, However, in the interests of pure truth I thought I'd 'look back through a number of fr- iends, and acquaintances and see whether I could come up with a typical Canadian, after more than 40 years of consort- ing with the species. There was a huge, happy, lively-tongued, quick-witted fel- low with whom I once trained AA pilot, in the dead . of a typical Canadian winter, He didn't have any special advant- ages of wealth, schooling or social position, But Jake Gaud- aur, president of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats football club, is do- ing all right these days. A typical Canadian? There was a skinny, starved- looking little guy at college •who was so shaky, physically and financially that I didn't think he'd 'graduate. But he had a wicked wit and a won- derful way with words. His name was Jamie. As Professor James Reaney, poet, play- wright, novelist and editor of a new magazine, he's doing all right, A typical Canadian? There was 'the French- Can- adian kid who worked with me as bellhop on the lake boats, before the war, When he start- ed that summer, he knew only three words of English, all of them bad. I couldn't help hoot- ing when I saw his name in the paper the other day — distinguished member of the clergy in Quebec. A typical Canadian? * * * There were a couple of young screwballs who wrote and play- ed in comedy skits when I was at university. Next time I saw them was 'in a troop show, overseas. They had improved. I saw them on television the other night, They're getting by, as Wayne and Shuster. Typical Canadians? Then, there's Dutch. Once a wild and woolly Australian, he taught me to fly Spitfires, in England. He came here after the war and is 'happy as a troilt hotly pursuing his first million in Toronto( A typital Canad- ian? And Chuck. His old man was a Ukrainian. We were in prison camp together and . when the Russians. were getting close he taught me ,to say, "Don't. Sh- oot!", in Russian. He was a first rate cartoonist and last I heard he was in Vancouver. A typical Canadian? And three Georges. One was a quiet student, who bought a Belgian pistol from me after the war and' paid me $10 more than it was worth, because I needed the money. He's manag- ing these days between direct- ing plays at Stratford and on television. A typical Canadian? 4• minnonio nsiar JEAN'S Fruit Market Domestic Spy Apples $1,49 Bus.

Clinton News-Record ,, Thum„ Dec. 7, 1961 • •!0 For a Canadian Tea Party (The Printed Word) It is time in Canada for a party claiming that there should be no taxa- tion without representation. The Can- adian business community is taxed to an excessive amount and yet it has no spokesman or other representation in Parliament. Even the dear old Senate puts partisan affairs ahead of economic need. There was a time when a manu- facturer could run for Parliament and be elected.

ALL WEIGHTS Another George repaid the Yanks for burning York in the war of 3.83., lie went over to Wall -Street, made a million. be- fore he was forty, and carried it gleefully back to his northern lair, A 'typical Canadian? The third George used to be a czech, He was in a concen- tration camp during the war. Now he's a dentist in Canada, has a split-level home, a two- car garage, and a real aversion to, paying so much income taxi, A typical Canadian? I can think of a dozen others. The country is full of charac- ters, but there's no such thing as A "typical Canadian" any more than there is an "aver- age man." I, for one, am heart- ily glad of it, Who wants to be A "typical"? Do you want to be A typical farmer, or 'typi- cal merchant, or typical lab- ourer, or typical housewife? Or even .0, typical millionaire? Not a bit of it. No more than I want to be a typical school teacher. The only thing the 'charac- ters above have in common is that they live in this country and love it. And that goes for me, too. How about you?
