WILMA D. DINNIN, Editor
year;
OUR CONCERN for the lack of
interest by young people in the Domin-
ion Day celebration in this area, has
been echoed by others in other parts of
Ontario.
In Ridgetown the town does some-
thing about it, and does the job well,
A full weekend of programming is based
around the Dominion Day theme and
that area, full of ethnic groups, does
know what Dominion Day means. Here,
with the basic 'population going back
at least two or three generations, ap-
parently no one cares.
The editor of the Exeter Times-
Advocate .comes up with a good thought
on the subject: "It's obvious that it
Meters In
• AS OF last Wednesday, people who
visit the town of Wingham will find
parking meters in which to place a
nickel every hour for the privilege of
parking a car on the main thorough-
fare.
Some weeks ago, this same installa-
tion was made in Seaforth.
One result is that the main streets
of these towns are remarkably empty
during the day. This does not mean
that shopping is not going along com-
fortably as before, but it probably does
mean that nobody takes his car down-
town day after day, to park it in front
of his place of business.
would be impractical for every town
to put on a celebration each year. Let's
move it around on a county basis. A
county council committee could estab-
lish the framework for a celebration to
be held in a different town (in Huron)
each year. There could be a sports
program with competitions for county
championships in track and field, tugs
of war, ball tournaments, band competi-
tions, amateur talent contests, fireworks
and so on. We'd like to see the proposal
discussed at the next county council
meeting."
Somehow we feel it is a topic even
more worthy of our county councillors
than some of the things which do meet
with their attention.
Two .Towns
There are many prod and cons. On
the one hand it means revenue to the
town—on the other hand it means at
least some extra wages must be paid
to get the money collected, counted, and
the meters serviced. On the one hand
the system insures that a parking space
is available, but every motorist is aware
of the trouble involved in having change
and remembering to feed the meter. On
one hand it means an end to double
parking, but it means someone has to
supervise the parking meters, and make
sure fines are paid for violations.
In the essence, it means more
regulation.; Does Clinton want them?

`True Service Given
QUITE POSSIBLY this is a good
a time as any we could conceive to
offer a paean of praise to the man who
conceived the idea of a Credit Union to
fill the needs of the people of this area—
the man who organized it, who actually
cashed in his own securities to obtain
money to give Clinton's Credit Union
capital with which to start, the Man
who has worked tirelessly and enthus-
iastically to build it for service to his
fellow man.
This man is W, Victor Roy, man-
ager of the Clinton Community Credit
Union Ltd. since its beginnings, and
now retiring after the building up of a
Million Dollars in assets.
Mr. Roy's motto has been that of
the Credit Unions, "Not for profit, not
for charity, but fpr service." And that
word "Service" means Christian service,
personal service and financial service
as well as counselling service.
The Very Rev. R. C, Brown, when
dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, London,
Now Earn
spoke to the Canadian Cancer Society
in this way: "Inasmuch as ye have done
it onto one of these > , All service that
endures, all service that has any mean-
ing, that heals, is the pouring out, the
expenditure of your essential virtue, is
True Service. If it stops. short of that,
you may be a good officer or a good
-Member . but you baven't given ser-
vice . , because it has never cost You
the deep essential virtues of your life.
This is the first thing about service,
truly conceived .. that it is of the
nature of sacrifice in the sense that it
costs you, intimately, personally, a part
of yourself."
We believe they can aptly be ap-
plied to the work of Mr. Roy with the
Credit Union in the community, He,
has always offered a helping hand to
any Credit Union member Who could
use his help or experience . . . and he
has given True Service in the real sense,
as outlined by the Very Rev. R. C.
Brown.
