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. LETTER TO EDITOR Op11111n 111110•11111/WI FOON.y $85.00 FINK PLUMBING Heating and Electrical Ltd. In Clinton Legion Hall — Wednesday, May 6 FINK PLUMBING, HEATING and ELECTRICAL LTD. Are Offering — From. May 4 to May 9 Only The "CASCADE 40" Hot Water Heater 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 NEWS OF KIPPEN (Correspondent, MRS. N. LONG. Phone Hensall 278-W-1) 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. Regular Price $115.00 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!
