That weekly is Thank you, all our readers, Few Worries Here OUR TOWN, and this section of Canada, are blessed in many ways. We- have the. loveliness which na- ture produces in the spring of the year, and in other seasons.. We have the copious harvests which leave promise of more to come in the next planting season. . We have no huge problems with conflicting racial or ideological. differ- ences. Our many people with varying religious beliefs • live in harmony, side by side. We have a great similarity even in political wants. This may pose a problem for candidates in election time, but lead to friendly feelings between the people who -live and work here. This area has been remarkably free from -the tribulations of unemployment. Some of this may be due to the fact that people without jobs tend to go to the city to look for work, leaving a good balance between jobs available, and people in the area.. But on the other hand the economy here is thriv- ing: Businesses .existant are doing well. Farms are producing as much profits for their owners as probably anywhere in Canada—though we accept the fact that, their share of the nation's wealth is not as good as it could' be. . Somehow it seems evident that candidates in the June 18 election will have to look sharp to find any issues on which to base their campaign which will have much effect upon the "un- decided" voters. There are three contestants in the field. We look forward to the hectic month ahead as their campaigns un- fold. Perhaps an evening -in the col- legiate auditorium here, when all three could be given a chance to speak, to reply and to be heard, would be ad- vantageous to' the whole riding, Clinton News -Record THE CLINTON NEW ERA THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD t Est. 1865 Amalgamated 1924 Est. 1881 Published every Thursday at the 00_ Heart of Huron County Clinton, Ontario -- Population 3,369 0= A.
