opinions abort whether they
Readers may be of agveral
,thhik our return is a good
thing . but we hope they
resist stating these opinions
within our hearing . . After
all, if our return is welcomed
by too many, we may get an
inflated opinion of ourselves , •
and if the opposite is. express-
ed, our feelings will be hurt
• . So we prefer net to hear
much about the subject at all, • *
Main thing we've noticed
a° far in "our town" ts the
concrete move toward main-
taining the "velvet streets of
Clinton" (or shoruld it be the
aephale move?). In any case
we appreciate the broad aven-
ues of Huron and Ontario
Streets, and also that fine block
which introduces Rattenbury
West . . . and we le-fow that
the town at the Hub is not
being left behind as Southern
Ontario develops its roads for
the future . . . * * * •
Next ;thing we notice . , . and
doubtless more important than
the streets . . . is the enlarged
police force serving the town
. With other people achiev-
ing shorter work weeks and
more pay for hours wombed...
it is only fair that our con-
stables receive better treatment
from us, their employers, than
they did a while back . . .
We're glad to see Clinton is
making this extension of police
service . . . • *
And on Monday afternoon
we visited, Doug Miles (or tried
to) and discovered that he tea-
ches 18 students hi Credit=
at Night School •ort that after-
noon . . . and that he teaches
a sdlase of 51lea Clikrten On lYfene
day nights, and' another class
a 51 in Winghain on Wednes-
day nights „ What are these
120 young farmers studying?
Farm management, no less.
Which means that Huron far-
mers 'are preparing to con-
tinue to be leaders in their
profession , . . ' *
Candle-light dinners ' across
the land en Tuesday night slow
ed procedures down consider-
ably, but we've heard at least
one mother remark that it was
nice to have time to play to-
gether as a family, as they
waited for lights to shine again.
The black-out of electric
power throughout this part of
Ontario, and the states of New
York, Vermont, Massachusetts,
New Jersey and Rhode Island,
plus some more for a total of
II 80,000 square miles will be
talked of for years, and prob-
ably books of various natures
will be written about It..
Reason so far seems to have
been an overload of power on
generatons that were just not
ready to cope with the pro-
blem, and then a bunch of auto-
matic systems kept cutting out
more and more generatort,
making it more difficult for
others to carry their load, and
the result was no power.
One thing We learned was,
that our law enforcement of-
ficers ate reasonably well pre-
pared for emergencies of this
nature and also that human
beings, even in the crowded
areas of the great New York
city are not really bad--and
they weathered up to six holes
in dark cold subways without
going completely berserk, as
writers of science fiction and
emergency meatures propagan-
da have dolefully been predict-
