The church holds nothing for us, they said, Or haven't you heard that God is dead, Don't talk to us of your God of Love, Who lives in an imaginary heaven above. All life is progression, and we have come too far To believe in that beckoning, mystic star, Which led to the humble stable, bare; In fact we can prove that it wasn't there. So close the door on unheeded prayer, And follow us to the new Messiah, Who sends his disciples through boundless space To reach the moon—not to touch God's face. Where they sense no Creator behind star-studded skies, For they have souls of computers and radar eyes, Searching only for truth, half-truths• tremble before us, While infinity clamours, in silent chorus.

Jervis-68 Albert St. Clinton-402-9390 The expulsion of the Acadians from the shores of Minas Basin and the Isthmus of Chignecto is depicted in this drawing by the Canadian historical artist, C.W. Jefferys. It was in 1755 that th Acadians, long the pawn in the continual conflict between the French and the English, were uprooted from their farmlands and deported to inhospitable regions from Maine to Louisiana. The Acadians refused to swear allegiance to George 11, who was to them a foreign king. Governor Charles Lawrence re. garded the 'Acadians as a threat to British sovereignty in what was then Acadia, and al. though he acted contrary to his authority he. banished 6,000 of them. It has become one of the most tragic acts in the history of the New World. In their exile, the Acadians found. ed an important colony.in Louisiana, and some of them made their perilous way back to their lands in Nova Scotia. Their descendants now live in increasing numbers in various parts of the Maritimes, particularly in New Brunswick. 20 0 It 0.9 0 0 0 9 0 0 0 0 0 110 0 0 0 0 0 0_9 11.9_1_0 QS 0 0_9 0 0 d.9 eoeee Clinton News-Record THE CLINTON NEW ERA Amalgamated THE HURON NEWS-RECORD Established 1815 1924 Established 1881 Published 'Every Thursday At The Heart Of HUron County Clinton, Ontario, Canada Population 3,475 Signed contributions to this publication, are the opinions of the *Roof only, and do ant necessarily unrest the views of the newspaper.

New Year message the On- tario Safety League quotes this fine piece of writing. It is reputed to have been found in St. Paul's Church, Balti- more, Maryland, in 1692. The advice about living seems as good today as it was then. The text came to the OSL on a colourful scroll, circulated with Christmas greetings from advertising agents Kenyon & Eckhardt. "Go placidly amid the noise and; haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive per- sons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser per- sons than yourself. Enjoy your achieve- ments as well as youi• plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; 'for the world is full of trickery. Ottawa is getting another strange fish. It is described by the National Museum as a "Latimeria chalumnae . . . a member of a group called coelocanths, which in turn Is related to the rhipidistian crossopterygians ..." With such a pedigree, the strange ,fish (dead, but well preserved) should feel perfectly at home in Canada's capital. Like many politicians, the fish was .believed by scientists to have become extinct more than 60,000,000 years ago. But in, 1938, one was caught in the But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Another was caught in 1952, and several since then. When Canada's 'own coelcanth arrives in Ottawa, the National Museum will be one of the few institutions in the world to own a specimen. Dr. D. E. McAllister, curator of fishes at the museum, calls the fish a "side link" rather than a "missing link" in evolution. Through it, he says, much information may be gained about early forms of life.
