TX) CLOTHES really Make the man, MaYbe nort T3Ut it seems more and More eouncila believe that chainS of offiee make the maY04 At least two legislative bodies in Huron are al present chain of office conscious. The former Mayor of Adestral Park, F/1.4 G. W. Dugnidt posed for a Picture in his, before leaving RCAF Station Clinton, last week. And Councillors in the town of Exe- ter have agreed to pay equal shares from their stPends to finance the neck4 piece for their mayor, Jack Delbridge. Tie fuss and furror of the moment set us to wondering if Clinton's Mayor Don Symons would be among the best dressed if the roll were ever called. Clerk John Livermore told us there had been talk about acquiring such a status Symbol for the mayor, but said council had vetoed the idea. 'Reason? Too costly, Judging from the chains of office we have seen to date, they. needn't be all that expensive. A little imagination and a few odds and ends 'appear to be about all that is needed to produce one that can be distingUishecl from -all others. For instance, Mayor Duguid's neck- let was nothing more than a continuous round of what APPeaxecl te be large paper clip ting in 4 huge allion pe4rIng a picture of former Qt' tawa 1111aYgr harlotte Whitten (look, jrg rloWneast and forlorn), Underneath, Was the aPPrePea insr4lPtien, "May This Never Happen To You". • Another chain of office was presented to Exeter's deputy -reeve Derry BoYle. was composed of golf bans fastened to a circle of ribbon! • Maybe Clinton'S chain of office could take the form of a summary of problms, solved and =solved. The basis could be a dog chain to represent the .scores of canines miming loose through the streets. "Charm" could be. added from, time to time. To start, a, hunk of sod' from - Clinton's controversial Community' Park. A chunk of marble indicating Clinton's proposed cenotaph. *A trick from the Post Office when it is demol- ished. A piece of concrete from the intersection. at Highways 4 and 8, Or, ' a string of hydro bulbs to emphasize the present mayor's interest in better light- ing for Clinton and his enthusiasm for his employer. • It would be a heavy load for any mayor's shoulders, but not as weighty as the perplexing problems he and 'his council must face n reality. This Might Hold Education Costs Down JUST AS soon as the weather per- mits, begin on a 24 by 32 foot occupational shop at CHSS. The big difference this time will be that the planning and work involved will be ac- complished by the students. We are sUre there' will be a number of raised eyebrows On citizens within the community. Those persons will not be alone in their doubts. 'Most members of the board were somewhat skeptical at the thought of investing upwards to $3,000 so the boys at the school could try their hand at the "real thing". But we are also sure that if there is a fault to find, with the vocational training at CHSS — or any vocational training program for that matter — it would be that the graduate comes away with plenty of booklearning but little practical, knowledge. By sanctioning the scheme and demonstrating their trustwith cold. cash, mern9ers of CHSS Board have shown their willingness to provide some- thing more than' "the rtiti-of-the-mill education handed out in so many centres. All phases of the construction will be handled lby the boys'' occupational classes and the instructors. If things go according to plan, everything from the initial drafting 'through the masonry and carpentry work to the wiring, plumbing and heating will be the res- ponsibility of the boys and their tea- chers. ' When you think of 'it, $3,000 doesn't sound like a great stun of money for a project such as this where so much valu- able experience will be gained with the prospect of a highly usable building in the bargain. Give Mother A Lasting Gift THE SECOND Sunday in May has, for decades, been known as. "Mother's Day" and on that occasion Mother is supposed to be Queen for the Day. She probably receives a few gifts, if she is living and her children wear a red flower to denote her survival; if she is not living, the sons and daughters are supposed to wear a white flower. Like birthdays, Mother's Day is a twenty-four hour dedication but a real Mother's Day gift would be something of lasting value — perhaps a promise of taking over some particular task that would make her happier and healthier. Many older mothers still have re- sponsibilities and heavy housework and don't have time to pamper themselves •or even to check up on what Might be symptoms of any serious ailment, dental neglect or faulty eyesight. Seeing that she has a medical checkup or that the needed glasses are provided could make Mother's Day into Mother's Year. The suggestion for this Mother's Day gift comes from the Federal Dep- artment of Health. . The Shortage Explained STRIKING compositors from Tor- onto's three daily newspapers are not only drawing a healthy strike -pay allow- ance from their union (reputed to be $80.00 per week) but are ,also receiving unemployment insurance benefits, The unemployment insurance fund is provided by deductions from the pay cheques of other Canadian workers who are slugging "away at their jobs every day—and by employers all ' over the country who match the earners' contri- butions dollar for dollar, .Among those contributing employers, of course, ;are the publishers of the Toronto newspap- ers against whom the strike is aimed. ' Is it any wonder that the unernploy- ment insurance fund periodically falls to dangerously low levels, even in times of high employment? These strikers who are drawing unemployment insurance from the rest of us were offered 'guaran- teed jobs from* their newspapers at weekly rates of about $150 per week -- and they chose to remain out on strike. Why, then, must the rest of us pay the shot? Let's keep the unemployment insurance benefits for those people who are actually out Of work but are willing to puli their own weight as soon as they get a chance?

They have been des- cribed by one of the world's great physicians as "the re- sult of painful, infant steps, one at a time, towards a known objective." The scene above is typical.

They are just one group of many, each devoted to study one problem of illness and dis- ease, Slowly there comes from such studies, with their pooled skills, new pro- cedures, both surgical and medical, to prolong life and frustrate death and pain. In the research institute alone there are 207 people, fitting like clasped hands With the . doctors of the hospital's' treatment areas. In ninety years The gospital for Sick Children has grown to be the world's greatest centre for treatment and research of children's acute diseases, but its treatment and re- search areas are constantly overcrowded.

R. W. COLQUHOUN Secretary -Treasurer DOUG ANDREWS Manager. Former Clintonian Would Like Old Post Qffice To Remain The Editor of the News -Record, Clinton, Ontario. Dear Sir: . • .In glancing over your paper of a recent date, I' ndticed Where the members' of th clintonian Club have voiced their 'opinion against the pUilingdown of the old Post Office, an opinion with which, I most heartily agree. A.pait from the ehurches, it is the only building that lends dig- nity of appearance in your town. The reit of the newer build- ings, while they may , be more practical, look like a bunch of factories, The faithful clock which has been su*ch.. a convenience and benefit to the thousands of tre- yellers passing through, is more practical than the' one revolv- ing on the bank corner. The latter may be beneficial to the pedestrians or to those who know that it is there, but the Old clock comes instantly into view when one reaches the in- tersection While lots of travel- lers will not notice the revolv- ing clock on the corner. „. No matter how much money is spent, you cannot replace the old Post Office in useful- ness or beauty of architecture. In my •humble opinion you will destroy the appearance of your 1 town. Why net do as 'Qoderich has done . preserve the old Post Office as a municipal building? Yours truly, A former Clintordan Goderich, Ont.
