there are large libraries, sport

yourg couples are thinking
along these.lines, 'Smaller sized

• With the above thoughts in
mald one thinks of schools such
as Hensall, Bayfield, Holmes-
\dile, etc. Could these schools
not be improved and the town-
sh'ps divided into districts so
that a resident would pay taxes
to. the 'school his child attends?
In the farming community of

we paid taxes to support a town

If a central school is to be
bent foe two townships, are
these other areas that could be
encouraged to join in the ven-
ture to insure a sounder invest-
ment for the future?

A Towiihip, Residefit: Speaks Out
On The .CeiltrOl -Scheol Question.
There's no better indoor sport
than versifying. And there's no
better vereifyer around these
days 'than George Bain. Find
out for yourself. Read this boVik,
"I've Been Around. . . And
Around and Around' and Around
and . . ".
Bain is a newspaper man with
a lively eye for the ridiculous,
and he has been around. Wash-
ington, Ottawa and London
come under his gun, and he sel-
dom 'misses when. he lines up his
rhymes and flees a parody of
anything from folk song to a
Gilbert and Sullivan snatch,
. He's also a wicked man with'
a pun. To wit: a chapter -en-
titled "How To Get Down From
A Duck, Eider You Kdove Or
You Don't," In this 'chapter, he's
talking about an eider-down
vest presented to a high dig-
:nitary. Bain continues, "No
doubt, somewhere in 'the frozen
'North, there is now a prowl
eider duck strutting around
with his little bald chest stuck
out, envy of every duck for
miles around." And he adds a
verse,
Said a chap 'to the proud donor
cluck,
what do you credit your
luck?"
Said the dusk, "Goodness
knows,
one must, I suppose,
Assume that I showed lots of
pluck,"
Just a sample froth a rattling
good book, e. combination of
rueful humor and satire with an
cdee to it.
Tli i s business of writing

people. Me, for one. Every so
often I get the urge , and burst

Ointon News-Record,
Dear Sir:
On Monday evening, Febru-
ary 8. at the regular monthly
council meeting, I "was instru-
mental in moving a motion that
the Town of Clinton purchase
a seitable copy of the new
Canadian Maple Leaf flag and,
in an appropriate ceremony oh
Monday, February 15, 1965,
that this flag be raised to the
top of the flag pole in Library
Park. Because I was the one
to suggest this I was naturally
elven oes 'Ira of trying to
bring certain groups of people
together to plan for an appro-
priate ceremony.
As readers, of the Clinton
News-Record will recall I made
some rather uncomplimentary
remarks about this new flag a,
few weeks past. Being a faith-
ful member of the Royal Cana-
The wind was rough
And cold and blough;
She kept her hands within her
mough.
It chilled her through.,
Her nose grew blough
And still the squall the faste
flough.
And yet, although
There was no enough,
The Weather was a 'cruel fough.
It made, her cough
(Pray, do not scough);
She coughed until her head
blough ough.
What's that? You want
More? I think you're out of
your mind, but there's that old
folk saying, particularily ap-
plicable these winter days:
It's not the cough
Wet carries yon off,
It's the coffin
They carry you off in.
Several of 'the very few clean
IlmeriCke in the world also re-
veal the oddity of the English
tongue. For instance, '
At fifty-five minutes past eight,
The kids at a feverish reight
Are seen rushing toward school,
And you'll find, as a rhool,

they'll be leight.
Aw, . come on. You don't

A streetcar gonductor once said
To a car full, of people, "my

That I fear it will, brache, '
Oh, I wish I were home and in

There you are. A brand new
patty genie. Think of the fun
you'll have on these long Winter
evenings with things like,
A man on a picnic said, "Please
Don't be cress if perchance I

partment of the province not
partially at fault? Was it'net
possible to, read the writing on
the wall eme years ago and
have made every effort to
bring the townships together
when this new school was being
disciissed? Perhaps situations
like,this are the result of the
two separate divisions' of educa-
tion which have existed in On-
tanio. The difference between
tho Clinton high schopl, and
the one-room schools is almost
unbelievable in this day and
age.
It must be realized that the
above-mentiened townships are
depending primarily on rural
children. In 1871 Huron's pop-
ulation was 66,165 and in 1961
it was 53,805. In 1951, 46 per
cent of the population in Hur-
on is listed as farm. In 1961
it is 26.5 per cent. This figure
means people making their liv-
ing in this way.. In 1901 the
average farm contained 91.4

urally felt much the 'same as
the Legion did on the flag is-
sue, None of us could see any
.reason for changing from the
beloved Red Ensign. If a spec-
ial proclamation wrs, reeded t-
establish an official flag for
Canada, why not make the Red
Ensign official, beyond any
doebt, by asking parliament to
acp-ove it? The Royal Cana-
dian Legion, coast to coast, in
conjunction with many other
.orgenizatiens frueht valiantly
every legal and logical means
to accomplish this end. We were
unsuccessful,
It is history nevi, that by
'ansoeretie teems, a new flag,
the Red Maple Leaf flag has
been chosen by a majority vote
efethe House of Commons. The
arguments for and against will'
'r' doubt eceee'nue unebated for
a long time, especially among
my generation, If you have
served your country under arms
during a period of war, it is
possible to form a very defin-
ite opinion concerning your
country's emblems. This feeling
'e no doubt not molly as strove
among those much younger or'
those Much older, or indeed
those members of our eocirety
who have come from many coens
tries to help us build Canada.
These feelings, for or against
are quite often overlooked, I
am sure, in the stand taken by
each individual.
But one thing must be per:
fectly clear to all who will look
at thiS" issue in a sensible man-
ner. Regardless of our person-
al feelings, this new fle'g is here
to stay. Changes of govern-
ment, etc., are not going to al-
ter. that fact.
So we have two choices. We
can continue to debate the ques-
tion, and each time assure our-
selves that we alone are right
and everyone else is wrong. Or
we can act in a much more ma-
ture manner, I believe. We can
admit to ourselves that first
and foremost we are citizens
of a community, a province,- a
country. A country where we
are fortunate enough to be able
to, live by the low of majority
rule. We can also act as res-
ponsible parents, trying to teach
our Children to grow up strong
and proud of their conntry and
its democratic processes. The
choice is one that each indivi-
dual must make by himself.
It is my belief that most
people will make the second
choice. Petty differences and
politically opposing views must
thus be overcome. For after
all, are we not all working to-
wards the same end? A strong-
er, more bountiful Canada for
our children and all generations
to come. Are we going to spend
our time bickering, or are we
going to work together for a
change?
With this thought in mind, an
attempt is being made by a lot
of people, representing a lot of

ton to produce an impressive
