While the responsibility for such actions lies mainly with private citizens, there are many instances where town council should step in to enforce by- laws in regard to the cutting of weeds and cluttered premises which create fire hazards. Council has, also been lax in seeing that main street is kept clean and not allowed to offset the attractive busi- nesses for which merchants have made sizeable expenditures in time and cash to beautify. It is unfortunate there are people who have to be pushed into doing things that are actually their responsibility, but it is time council set about strictly enforcing regulations. When the "cul- prits" realize that council means busi- ness, they will undoubtedly take steps to comply with the regulations. Then, and then only, will we be able to note with pride that Clinton is not just becoming one of the most `attractive communities in Western On- tario, but is in fact THE most attrac- tive. as in other sports, are complete freaks, it was the 215-pounder who broke his leg when it twisted underneath him on the play. In comparison to this we have seen two baseball players suffer broken legs in a sport that is generally con- sidered "safe" and we have stood ar- ound and watched numerous hockey, players spit out a large percentage of their teeth. It is not unusual that there are those who would seek to curtail foot- ball, ,considering it is a sport in which the main purpose is to knock an op- ponent to ;the ground, and the harder the better. But football is .not a hazardous game under the proper conditions, and those proper conditions are brought about not by the players themselves, but by the coaching staff and those who supply the equipment for the players. Except for freak accidents, players do not face any undue risk if their coaches have drilled them thoroughly on how to tackle and block, and how to be safely tackled and blocked. And, similar to most sports, it requires that participants be in top condittion—again the responsibility of the coach. Equally important is that the youths wear the best protective equip- ment possible to safely protect them from the hard knocks that makes foot- ball a "man's" game. At CHSS we have a good coaching staff and as far as we know officials have provided the type of equipment needed, and as long as this situation exists there is nothing to add but—Go, Redmen, Go! ROYAL BAN D DRIVE WITH CARE- ....r': HALLOWEEN From Our Early Files . . Remember, many dark and mysterious.characters will be parading the streets tonight and eager and excited children are even more unoreactable than ever. Added to this is the fact these dark-costumed youngsters are difficult to see, and with their face masks, find it difficult to see also. SO, DRIVE WITH MORE THAN THE USUAL, AMOUNT OF CARE. AND DON'T "GROUND" ANY OF THOSE WICKED-LOOKING WITCHES OR MISCHIEVOUS GOBLINS. Spirits lift slightly with the beauty of the chants, and pl- unge close to the maudlin when we are asked to join in "Abide With Me", and tears spurt be- yond reason, throats develop lumps as large as golf balls, When it is all over, I think everyone feels cleansed and up- lifted, rather than depressed. There is an imperceptible awakening of life, an eager turning to discussion of t fee weather, though we retain, for a decent interval, our mourn- ful looks. Everyone feels like a cup of tea or a good stiff dr- ink. There is a lot to be said for giving a fellow human being, who entered the world in a rather scrambly fashion, and did the best of which he was capable, the dignity of a dec- ent sendoff. Personally, I would rather go to a good funeral any day than to a wedding, which often de- generates into giggling and general silliness. will hold its first meeting early in November, according to Mayor W.

Oa Spring, Manager WITHIN THE past year, many noticeable improvements have been Made in Clinton, through the erection of such attractive buildings as the addition to the Clinton Public Hospital, the new technical wing at CHSS, the department of agriculture office, Elm Haven Motor Hotel, plus several pri- vate homes. Coupled with these new structures have been the face-lifting received by some of.the business establishments along main street. All in all, the changes being made are quickly transforming Clinton into one of the most attractive communities in Western Ontario; certainly a town in which people can take great pride. But, while we commend the large number of progressive thinking merch- ants, individuals and public boards, their actions have created a problem or at least a challenge—in that the weak links in the chain of attractive properties throughout the town have been made even more unsightly' in comparison to their surroundings, There are still one or two shabby business establishments on the main street, houses that need a coat of paint or an extensive cleanup campaign on the grounds, garage lots filled with wrecked autos and vacant lots running rampant with, ugly. weeds. And lately, we have noticed that main street has been cluttered with debris of one kind and another and the amount of broken glass is creating TWO AREA weekly newspapers have devoted some space lately for com- ment on the advisability of high school youths playing the rugged game of football, a sport that has been one of the major sporting attractions at this time of year for several decades. The editor of the Wingham Ad- vance-Times, noting the serious, injury to a couple of local players in recent years, questioned if the sport was really serving a purpose on the high school' campus. Local situations are always more useful in backing up an, argument, but the editor could have picked up some stronger backing by pointing out that in the first half of this year 14 players in the United States had died as a result of football injuries. And, a gentleman who spends some of his time each fall maintaining such records, will show that an average of 25 football players—from high school calibre to professional—have lost their lives each year for the past 25 years or SO. These figures quickly spur a great outcry and perhaps rightly so in some regards, but they fail to get little sup- port from a society that has come to take it for granted that a greater num- ber of persons will lose their lives in traffic accidents in any ,normal week. Being a sport enthusiast and a sports reporter for some time, we have attended countless sporting con- tests of one type or another, but have only seen one serious football injury. That happened last year when a hulking 215-pound lineman crashed a speedy 215-pound backfielder to the ground in a crushing tackle. But to point out that many football injuries, THE CLINTON NEW ERA Est. 1865 Al a • • C L Authorised as second SUBSOBIPTION 40 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

McCaughey is mov- ing this week to the cottage recently purchased on Albert Street. , J. K. Wise has purchased a residence in Goderich and will remove there about the begin- ning of the month. The election -for reeve in Goderich Township resulted in a 44-vote win for Oswald Ginn. Murray, six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Caryl Draper, met with a rather bad accident on Saturday while at play with some other children, when he fell on some dry sticks and one of them ran into him. Mr. Hewitt Williams and Mr. Welden Hovey of the Mol- son's Bank staff were out practicing with their revolver last week. On the way home Mr. Hovey began examining the gun and it discharged with the bullet passing through the fleshy part of Mr. Williams' leg. 25 Years Ago Mr. Reg Ball has rented the cottage formerly occupied by Mr, Bruce Fogarty on Princess Street. Mrs. W. A. Oakes informed the News-Record she picked a bouquet of roses from her gar- den this week. She says they compare favourably with roses picked earlier in the summer.

I don't know why I have avoided funerals all my life. It hasn't been a conscious thing, but more a matter of inertia. And it always seemed foolish, making a fuss over the clay when the spirit had fled. Well; I've changed my mind. I don't know what I was mis- sing. There is something intens- ly satisfying in the human de- ama involved in a funeral ser- vice, and I hereby promise all my friends that I will attend their funerals, if humanly pos- sible. That is, if I don't beat them to the punch. Both of these services I was at were for people I admired and respected, but there the similarity ended. One was for an elderly Lady, a simple Luth- eran service in a small church. The other was for a compara- tively young man, an elaborate Roman Catholic service in a large church. Each had its dignity and, at times, beauty. * * Incidently, I learned some- thing at both. The Lutherans sing sitting down and pray st- anding up, And there isn't much of my high school latin left, so that I welcome the news from Rome that R.C. ser- vices will be conducted in the native tongue. But theee'S a lot more to a funeral than the church ser- vice. There is the slow filling Up of the church, with .every- one taking a crafty look around to see who thought a visit to the funeral home would be enough, There is the lugubrious or- gan music that puts you in the right mood. There is the quick- ening of tempo as the minister or priest rustles in. There is the awkward, touching proces- sion of relatives of the "de- ceased", some weeping, some white-faced With strafe, some red-faced with the unaccustom- ed attention. Mid then there is the ent- rance of the coffin, gliding soundlessly on its wheeled fa'- ache, surrounded by six good Men and true. This IS the mom- ent Of truth for the spectators, as they realize With a jolt, that this is the end of that persen, and that this is the end to which we all Shall eorne. TYTTPDTZTON — The John ,Graham, of St, Peter's An- glican Church, Tyrconnell .and. Stephens, Burwell Corners, retired from the active Mini* ry last month. Following the morning sec-. vice et •.$t, Peter's, a parish dinner was held in the Sunday School for Mr. and Mrs. Gra7. ham. members of their two par- idles were present and other special guests ware MA and Mrs, Dale Duffield (nee Mon- ica Graham), Connie, Maureen, T.,. MI, Donald and' Patricia of f.rambeth, and Mr, and Mrs, Pat Graham, 13a-rbarat , Nancy and John of London, Following dinner, the Ora- hams were presented with a• purse of money from the two congregations. Mr. Graham has been rector of the. two .churches since July 1959, He was born in Belfast, and educated in St. James National School there, In 1914, he answered a call to western Canada and gradu- ated from Emmanuel College, Saskatoon. He was rector of Shellbrook near Prince Albert and received his BA degree from the University of Saskat- chewan. Iii May, 1926, the Grahams moved to Ontario and served in several . parishes in the Dio- cese of Huron, Mr, Graham served on the Diocesan Board of Religious Education in the Diocese of Huron for more than 25 years. Mr. Graham deserves great credit as the organizer of the Huron Diocese Church Camp in 1939 and he, with Mrs, Gra: ham's help, carried on the camp for several years. The camp was' moved from Kintail to Bayfield in 1945 and Mr. and Mrs. Graham were in charge ,of the first camp there as Dean and camp mother. Mrs. Graham has always been prominent in the Women's cents over the present rate. Mrs. Barbelle Thompson and Mrs. Norman Baird were lead- ers of the two groups of the WA who served over 150 at a congregational dinner in the Brucefield Church, Monday. J. A. Anstett, one of Clin- ton's younger businessmen, has recently redecorated his jewel- lery store to make it one of the most modern small town shops in Western Ontario. There is a great deal of crit- icism over the cost of a funeral today,' and undertakers are fre- quently raked over the coals for catering to the excessive demands and bad taste of some of their clients. I don't think this is quite fair. Undertakers are just that—caterers. If you want the blue plate Special, you can get it, And if you want the seven-course deluxe, they'll give you that. I used to be one of these just-put-me-in-a-pine-box - and throw-some-dirt-over - me fel- lows. But not any longer. When I go, I want the works. Row upon row of weeping fr- iends and relatives. Lots of wreaths, A full choir. "Abide With Me" 'and everybody br- eaking down hopelessly about the middle of the second verse. And a great big reception back at the house afterwards! One more request. I know it would be difficult to arrange, but I'd like to be buried sit- ting up, so I could enjoy it all, PPOC. 4PWAAPFPIrd:Th.4.FS,F. 0. t,„31, )90, Edttorills • , Still Room For Improvement SUGAR and SPICE (By W.
