What we like about it is that it saves us from having a big pile of dishes to do. One of these days, if I put too much gas on 'it, it's going 'to save us the trouble of eating, too. However, the saying on dishes is dissipated during our other noeturnal dalliance, which is watching television. We finally bought a set last fall, probably the third last family in Canada to own pne, But normally we're all too busy to watch the thing. Now we watch everything. Most people are sore because there's noth- ing on in the wanner except re-runs, bat it doesn't bother us. We didn't see any of them the first time they ap- peared. * s * There are only two 'draw- backs to this: Watching the box makes us all hungry, By the time the late movie is over, every dish in the house is in 'the TV' room, and dirty. The second disadarantage is that my wife falls asleep in the middle of a dandy western, and knocks off about two hours, in her. chair, before we turn off the set, Then she lurches off to bed — and can't sleep a wink. Combine a roomful of dirty dishes and an exhausted, owly woman, and you'll understand why my morning beauty sleep is rudely shattered, day after day. 25 Years Ago CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, July 15, 1931 At a regular meeting of Tuckersmith Township Council, a petition was presented by Ross Scott asking the council to take necessary action in sec- uring street lights for Bruce- field.

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?

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. — $100. or more —1 to 5 years interest paid by cheque — authorized by law as investments for trust funds.
