The Editor,
Clinton News-Record.
Dear Sir:
Mental Health Week (April
26 to May 2) is,an appropriate
time to make an appeal for
hospital visitors to your read-
ers. It is an unfortunate fact
that we have a number of pat-
ients at our hospital who never
receive visits and are conse-
quently very lonely people. The
staff on my particUlar service
has come up with .a suggestion.
for an experiment which might
appeal to those of your readers
young or old, who are interest-
ed in people and have a few
hours to spare each week.
'Ve would like to find several
people of any age; education or
occupation and would "adopt"
one patient each, with the idea
of visiting regularly and per-
haps. taking the patient for
walks, etc. There would be
opportunities for visitors to
discuss with staff, problems
they may have in the relation-
ship and ideas for helping the
patient towards .recovery.
If any of your ,readers would
like to discuss this idea further,
they should contact . Miss Tade-
Son at 524-7331, local 5, or
write directly to me. e ,
Yours very truly,
.D, H. IVIoogir, M.D., '
Assistant Superintendent.

The' first destination was the
Girl Guides of Canada Head-
quarters, 50 Merton Street.
Mrs. H. Lount, chairman of the
house committee, gave 'a most
informative and delightful tour.
The modern building is com-
prised of 'three floors; the first
floor is the shipping depart-
ment where all Guiding equip-
ment originates. From here it
is shipped to distributors from
coast to • coast. The main or
second floor houses the admin-
istrative offices, while the third
floor is. comprised, mostly of
board rooms with contempor-
ary furnishings of blue striped
Danish-like chairs and off-
white wall-:to-wall carpeting.
These rooms are available to all
branches of Guiding far special
meetings.
Individual home-packed lun-
ches were eaten an the bus an
the Casa. Loma parking lot.
Having pre-warned the cash-
ier that 46 Guides were about
to invade the 'castle, the self-
tour was begun.' Some of the
most impressive sights of this
98-room castle were: the secret
staircase from Sir Henry Pel-
latt's study to the second floor;
Mr. Edwin Taylor accompan-
ied by his sister, Mrs. Gordon
Munn, Hensall, leave Thursday
by plane for Holland and ex-
pect to be away 12 days. They
will stop off in England a few
days.
Mrs. Jim Upshall was admit-
ted to St. Joseph's Hospital,
London, last week for surgery.
Her friends and neighbours
wish her 'a speedy recovery.
Sunday visitors with Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Jones and boys
were, Mr. and Mrs. Erlyn Wil-
ker, Mrs. Emma Wilhelm,
Stratford; Mrs. Pearl Love and
Wayne, Varna; Sunday evening
guests were Mr. and -Mrs. Jim
Love.
Sunday visitors with Mr. and
Mrs. Long were Mr. Oswald

the 800 foot long tunnel lead-
ing from the basement to 'the
stables which were decorated
with Spanish tiled floors and
mahogany trim, the interesting
display of oldtime horse-drawn
vehicles on exhibit in the coach
room; and, Of course, the wine-
less wine cellar.
Leaving "the castle on the
hill", the Guides then motored
to the International Airport to
watch the 'airplanes taxi in.
Most of the Guides took 'the
elevator up to the observation
platform while 'the more ambi-
tious (or crazy) ones climbed
about 144 steps to the summit.
About four o'clock the Guides
started ;their homeward jour-
ney, stopping at Stratford for
dinner. And so, cherishing all
of the day's memories — the
fun, the tour of headquarters,
the dark eerie steps leading to
the closed tower, the "moving
stairs" at the airport, the tired
feet, the souvenirs — the Girl
Guides and their leaders arrived
home about eight o'clock clos-
ing the gilded-edged-cover on a
most commemorative day.
The supervising leaders were,
from Clinton: Mrs.. Donald
Brown, Q.C. and Mrs. Brown,
Detroit; Mrs. Marguerite Ulch,
Windsor and Mr. Charles Tay-
lor, Stoney Creek.
UCW Meeting
Rev. Howard Plant was guest
speaker at 'the Thankoffering
meeting held in the church on
April 14, Guests were from
Brucefield, Varna and Turner's
churches. About 75 ladies at-
tended the ;meeting and the
president, Mrs. Bert Faber, wet-
corned the guests.
Mrs. B. Fuss, Heneell, was
the guest soloist with Mrs.
Hugh Hendrick taking the wor-
ship. Mrs. Edison McLean and
Mrs. William Kyle acted as
hostesses for 'the meeting when
a social hour was spent.

Rambling V(/ith Lucy
Woods)
Shades of the past walked out in front of Lucy last week
as she considered that she had almost .eorneleted 40 year's
as ,Bayfield .correspondent .for the Clinton News-Record. ,
In perusing a copy of the issue: of .December 1922,
she read ..aguin with pleasure an account Which the editer,
the late lVfise Mabel R, Clark had written of the CCI•.come
niencement exercises, -(Good old CCI! Remember the yell;
"Phi ,Chl Psi!
Kappa lama Phi,
A. I. POWs; -Protos. OCT
Sh-Bim, Sh-Boom
Sh-Birn-Boom-Bali!
CCI, CCI, Rah! I")
Lucy was not attending school then, but .she was at one
of the two evening programs of commencement in the town
hall which Miss Clark recorded with fevoerable comments,
Amongst other members on the program, Jean Woods
and Lucy Levy danced The Sailor's Hornpipe'. "They re-
sponded 'to a hearty encore with a littledance and eang,°"All
'the Nice Girls Love a Sailor',"
"On Wednesday night, H. R. Scott presented the Inter-
Collegiate basketball shield which be had donated for compe-
tition between the Seaforth and Clinton Collegiates.
• "In a few appropriate remarks, Mr, Scott -.dwelt upon
the excellent sehool spirit shown in the commencement
exercises 'end congratulated the Clinton team on its success
in the basketball field.
The principal presented ,the diplomas and awards.- Ip
action by applauding end giving their school yell."
The principal presented the diplomas an daWards. In
athletic events F. Elliott received the senior championship
medal, and Elmer Paisley, the junior; Miss Lucy Levy won
the Senior, girl's championship medal and Miss Ruth. Jackson,
the junior.
"The play entitled 'My Lord in Livery' was well given
and proved a very creditable effort on the part of the young
actors," wrote Miss Clark.
The members of the cast were: Jack Bawden as Lord
Thirlmere; Hall Farnham, 'the butler; Bert Marshall, "Hop-
kins the Footman"; Miss Jean Woods "Sibyl Amberley", the
leading lady, ably supported by her two friends, Annie Mac-
farlane and Carol Evans.
Miss Mabel R. Clark came of a literary family, members
of which were prominent in newspaper work, Her brother
was the late Joseph T. 'Clark, one-time editor of the Toronto
Daily Star and father of to-day's well-known columnist,
Gregory Clark.
Miss Clark first went to Clinton from Flesherton in 1907
to take a business course. She was on the staff of the Toronto
Saturday Night for a few years and then joined the Clinton
News-Record staff finder W. J. Mitchell in 1910. G. E. Hall
'purchased 'the paper in 1923 and, she remained with him, Her
sudden death about 10:30 on, Wednesday evening, February
3, 1937, was a shock to all.
Laurie Colquhoun, the present owner, recalls that he
went to her abode on Thursday morning on. his' way to work
to pick up copy which she bad taken home to proof-read. It
was not until then that he knew of her passing.
With Miss Clark in the front office and G. E. Hall, Laurie
Colquhoun, Frank McEwen and the late Kenneth Whitmore,
Blyth, in the back shop, the paper came out regularly at 10
o'clock on Thursday morning. And it was literally , packed
with news and small advertisements.
1VILss Clark was a person of high ideals. She guarded
jealously the reputation of the Clinton News-Record. Posses-
sed of a pleasing personality, this gracious lady was a kind
and considerate friend to many. She was, mourned not only
in Clinton but throughout 'the newspaper world as her facile
pen was stilled.
It was Miss M. R. Clark who persuaded Lucy to becOme
the Bayfield correspondent for the Clinton News-Record in
the summer of 1924. At the time she was assisted. by her
father, the Postmaster.
For many years Henry Erwin had been the correspon-
, dent for -the village. His wife died suddenly on January 19,
1924. He always declared that if his wife went first, he
wouldn't live long. He died October 23, 1924, at the home of
his daughter in Kitchener.
' Following Mrs. Erwin's death, Robert A. Parkinson, the
student pastor of the Methodist Church, carried on as cor-
respondent. He left Bayfield in July and F. A. Edwards, a
late in` August. •
community-minded mercherit, filled in until Lucy commenced •
Lacy's two worst subjects at school were grammar and
composition. The 'thought of writing for a newspaper was
appalling! But she learned with F. A. Edward's help and
Miss Clark's red pendil.
Over the years she has obeyed the basic rules for report-
ing given her by Miss Clark. She also tried to carry on the
tradition of the Bayfield news column being a letter from
home to those away from home.
After so many years it has become a part of her daily
life and she will miss it. But the time has come, Lucy feels,
when it is wise to make a change. She will probably continue
to a'amble for a time, at least.
In retiring, Lucy wishes 'to express her gratitude to the
many residents who have So kindly helped her over the years,
particularly in the past 18 years when she was not able to
get out.
To those who have overlooked her mistakes, 'to those who
have, perhaps, been bothered by her telephone calls, to Laurie
Colquhotm and staff of the Clinton News-Record, for their
patience, kindness and consideration, as well as to the readers,
Lucy says a sincere "Thank You", and she bespeaks the
same kindly treatment for her successor in office. Keep the
news coming for the letter from home for those away from
home! Also, the shut-ins!
Remuneration doesn't ever cover the hours spent in re-
cording the doings of a village for a weekly newspaper. But
there is great satisfaction in having done the community a
service.
There will be "brick bats" as well as plaudits. The
latter are rewarding end give one confidence. So Lucy hopes
that the readers will telephone or write to the now correspon-
dent and give him or her a bit of praise and encouragement
such as she has received over the years.
Keep Bayfield on the Map!
