With the tax forms becoming increasingly difficult each year we have almost come to the conclusion it would be better for us all to merely send the boys a blank cheque and tell them to take what they need. IP:MtVt4, we did have :great fun following the form through ,— subtracting figure's here and adding them there, Unfortunately, when you get to the bottom though, you always find out that the figures you have to add are about twice as .big as those they'll let you sub- ,tract , .„ In fact, after, look, nig over the form very care- fully, we've come to the con- clusion that the only way you can beat the thing is to either get desperately sick or give all your money to charity, It all works out to the same thing— yoa get nothing! ONE THING we can honest- ly say though is' the fact that the • government surely does discriminate against bachelors . , We note with some bit- terness that our friends who have taken the trip to the al- tar not only get' a full-time cook, cleaning lady, someone to wash the car, cut the lawn, scrub the floors, darn their socks, wash the dishes, plant the garden, shovel snow, iron their shirts, etc., etc., etc., but they also get a $1,000 deduc- tion along with all these bene- fits . And, when they notice the better-half starting to com- plain they add a couple of kids to help her and also to do a few of the little jobs they had themselves, and with this ad- ded benefit they get $300 de- duction each, plus their baby (Continued on Page 12) Teachers Meet Education Minister In an unheralded visit to Clinton, Thursday, Hon.

Most photographers will pro- vide this service willingly for graduates. Any graduates not having photos may arrange to have one taken at the News-Record by phoning ahead to arrange a time. While we would ask for pic- tures of all graduates through- out the area, we would also ask that any students receiv- ing special awards or merely passing in other than their graduating year be sure this information is passed onto the News-Record. It is an impossibility for this newspaper to find out the results of all the various in- stitutes of learning, so we an- ticipate the support of award- winning students, graduates and parents in making certain that our readers hear of the success of the students from the area, so they may receive the plaudits due to them, SetVoting Day For.

On Fishing Tug BAYFIELD Charles Toms is in Clinton Public Hospital in serious condition and Malcolm Toms has been confined, to bed at home for three days follow- ing a harrowing experience on Lake Huron on Tuesday morn- ing. The Toms brothers had gone out to lift whitefish nets in their steel tug, The Harridan, and .during the operation they be- came aware of exhaust fumes in the cabin. They shut the gasoline fuel motor off for awhile and drift- ed. Having heard gale warn- ings, they knew they had to make port ahead of the big blow, so they started it up again, Malcolm has always pilotted the • tug and he sat at the wheel until he became too sick to remain any longer, then Charlie took over and stuck it as. long as •he' could while Mal- Volm ley" 6ut on *the deck.1' Thus they took turns at the wheel and on the deck until they drew up at their dock on the north river shore about 1;00 p.m. They had taken two hours to come between eight and nine miles which ordinarily would only take one hour. Both were suffering from the fumes and chilled to the bone. Charlie was quite exhausted and complained of chest pains. He had to be helped off the boat to Ed Siddell's heated fish house. Here he received medi- cal attention before being re- moved to hospital. Malcolm, very dizzy and ach- ing from exposure, was able to go home, after getting warm, known who this will be.

Lane, Clinton, for- mer minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, was a head-table guest at the grad- uation banquet of Knox Coll- ege, Toronto, on Tuesday. Rev. Lane is the second old- est living graduate of the Pres- byterian Theological College and had been invited to attend by the dean of the school. With their requested grant cut by over 50 percent by town council, Clinton Recreation Committee held a special meet- ing, Thursday, to revise their proposed program, Although- their grant has been drastically cut from $2,250 to $1,100, the committee hopes to carry on most of their work by instituting a "pay as you play" setup for the participat- ing persons, Due to the fact that most of the adult programs were al- ready on a self supporting basis, this will affect mainly the youngsters in the commun- ity.• Players in the bantam-mid- get hockey houSeleague will pay $2.00 to- play next year, al- though halt this money will go toward providing insurance for the lads. By charging this fee, the players who do not play on any all-star teams, will have as Much hockey as last year. A suggestion was made at the meeting that the service clubs sponsoring minor hockey in Clinton also set up a $2.00 registration for boys on their teams so all youngsters will be paYing the sane to play hockey in Clinton. However, at the Suggestion of Hugh Hawkins, it was de- cided that no registration Would be eXpectecl from any boys Whose eirenmstatioes may not allow them to pay the tees. The grans! will also go ahead with their plans for a summer playground for youngsters from ages five` to 12. and 30,000 This award is made annually to Ontario chambers, in four different population categories, for their contributions to the development of their respective towns or cities, The Stratford representative to be here for the meeting will outline the benefits of a chamber in a municipality as well as giving tips for organ- ization if enough interest is shown Garon explained his main in- terest ha forming such a group was to work towards attract- ing industry, As a member of the PUC he earlier criticised council for their lack of effort in negotia- tions with Canada Packers earlier this year. He said he was also disap- pointed on noting that no mon- ey had been set aside bycoun- cil in the 1963 budget for their industrial committee. "I have faith in this town," the popular Garon stated, He pointed out the town has good roads, good water, modern sch- ools and hospital and was well located, "What more could an indust- ry want?" he• questioned, May Acquire Land Garon said he hoped a Ch- amber of Commerce would re- ceive strong support from bus- iness and professional men, as well as from those interested in the betterment of the com- munity, He noted that while the last such organization disbanded due to lack of interest, he predicted that with a strong ex- ecutive a Chamber of Com- merce would thrive because many people were now serious- ly concerned over the lack of industrial promotion in Clin- ton. Garon said he hoped the group would become strong enough that they could pur- chase suitable land for indust- rial use and after putting in the needed services, could of- fer it to any industry interest- ed in locating here, "Red" Garon GROUPS PLAN liotTI,D DRIVE On Saturday, May 4, mem- bers of the Clinton Cubs anti Scouts will conduct another bottle drive, pitking up empty pop bottles from local resid- ents. The canvass- will start at 9,00 a.m. and will continue through the morning. Residents have been a,sked to have their bottles ready for the boys When they ball. The Mon- ey realized from the drive Will be used for their worthwhile activities, their meeting, Tuesday. Under the plan approved, they will give a discount of 10 percent for the first six months billings to all homes and commercial developments using all-electric heat. The discount will be on the net charge on the bill and ,will apply to new,,structures as well as those renovating to include electric heating, Only stipulation is that the work be done according to the regulations set up by Ontario Hydro. The proposal was put forth by Commissioner Hal Hartley who pointed out in litreature from Ontario Hydro that this was a plan being followed by many Public Utilities Com- missions. In some centres the discount is as much as 25 percent, wh- ile the city of Waterloo has offered $109 to the first 100 all-electric homes built there. Other centres also follow similar incentive programs for persons who improve the wir- ing in their homes. "I would certainly like to encourage this", Hartley ex- plained in noting that the con- struction of electrically heated structures increases t h e am- ount of hydro sold by the PUC. "It's a good policy," added Commissioner '',Red" Garon At present there are two all-electric structures in Clin- ton. One is the Elm Haven Motor Hotel and the other is the new residence of Lorne Brown. "Interference" Discussed After a disCussion started by Garon, the PUC learned from manager, Jabez Rands, that an inspector from the telecomuni- cations department would be visiting Clinton in an effort to determine what is causing the interference on in a n y radios and television sets in some sec- tions of town. Garon reported he had re- ceived complaints from resi- idents in the area of the pump- (Continued on Page 12) Remind Area Students And Graduates To Inform Readers of Successes DEALT PERFECT CRIBBAGE HAND While playing cribbage on Tuesday afternoon, Donald Mc- Lean, town, was given a crib- bage players dream — a per- fect hand.
