Huronview guests, the follow. ing comment by HildaW.Knotts appears: "How old is old? That is like asking how high is high. Old is when you no longer care what goes on around you; old is when you have nothingto look forward to, when people no longer interest you. Old is when you no longer want to hear the happy laughter of children ,and listen to their fairy tales; old is when you are always right and everyone else is wrong. "How old is old? You can be old at twenty, thirty or ninety. It depends on your outlook on life; a little child can be old, one who has been starved for love, or food; one who is not wanted and has never known a parent's love can be very old. "Who is to say how old is old? It is not white hair and a slow moving body; it is not the added years. It is something in. side of us. How old is old? That is a debatable subject that you will never be able to answer. If you keep on dreaming and planning for tomorrow and enjoying today, you will never grow old."

Clinton Lions Club continued its tradition of celebrating the birthday of Scotland's immortal ,Net, Robbie Burns on Tuesday evening. The bard's birthday is today, January 25. 'this year, the special Burns Night speaker was Rev. Donald MacDonald, of North Street United Church, Goderich, who gave his own views of what the Scottish poet and song. writer left to the world: • Mr. MacDenald remarked that in every country in the civilized world where Scottish folk had emigrated,, they would be celebrating Burns' birthday. Burns wrote hundreds, of poems in his' short life of 37 years. He was born. January 25, 1759 at Alloway, near Ayr, and died at Dumfries in July, 1796. The speaker claimed Burns loved the common people and cited the 21-verse "The Cotter's Saturday Night" as an example of this. He claimed Burns was a radical and pos. sibly a socialist; and that he took sides on controversial things and never was afraid to speak his mind on his ideas. "But" said Rev. MacDonald, "Burns was a true Scotsman. He loved his nation; in fact he loved all mankind." Rev. MacDonald spoke of Burns' love of good times. To this he added, "While . dwell. Mg on the misgivings of Burns, we sometimes lose the basic philosophy in his poems and ballads." Rev. MacDonald was born at Schreiber in Northern Ontario grew up at Baddeck, Nova S cotia attended Dalhousie University, then preached in Picton County, N.S., before coming to God. erich. The speaker was introduced by Rev. R. U. MacLean, also a native of Pieton County who for the past six years has been minister of St. Andrew's Pres. byterian Church, Clinton. Mr. MacLean was attending his 22nd consecutive Burns night, having attended 16 similar evenings in Petrolia before coming here. The meeting which was at• tended by 43 Lions and guests, also heard John Campbell, Blyth, deputy district 'governor of Region 3 of District A-9, give his official talk to Clinton Lions, E. Beecher Menzies gave the address to the haggis; which was piped in by guest Piper Hee Kingswell, Clayt Dixon acted as chef and the favourite Scottish dish was carried byJoeMurphy and Gladstone Grigg.

When William Drtmliart: via*: ited HuXen County Council on Wednesday morning he reported on what he termed a torevolu. tionary" program by the On. twee Government which is "moVing into the second stage of a three-part regional develop. ment program that sets the pace in the field for Canada, and, perhaps, North America." "This does not mean per. manent subsidies to some sections of the province," continued Urquhart who repre. sents the Mid-Western Ontario Development Association, "but the Government will pniiip money and guidance into the regions to start them on the Ellwood Epps and his wife Isabel tracked moose for three weeks before they got close enough to shoot - but when their chances came on-Christ. mas Day they scored. Hunting in the Matachewan area, 50 miles west of Kirk. land Lake and 180 miles north of North Bay, Mr. Epps and his wife each shot a moose. Mrs. Epps also added a bear to her bag. Mr. Epps said that duringthe three-week tracking period, they came within a quarter- mile of the moose herd "about 50 times," "Either they were smart or we were dumb," Mr.Epps cam. mented. For Mrs. Epps, it was her 11th moose in 17 years of hunt. ing. She has also killed five deer. Mr. Epps estimated that one By Shirley Keller road to economic seifidevelop. ment. Speaking about regional government, Urquhart ex. plained that "operating within broader boundaries and ex. ercising wider responsibilities than the present counties will be in a position to lend strong and consistent support to regional manifestations of pro. vincial economic policy." He repeated Premier John P. Robert's statement with re. Bard to regipnal developnie,nt. "Mr. Robarts said regional development should not be con. fused with regional government and promiped that the economic councils, whose members are appointed by municipal govern. of their moose weighed 800 pounds dressed, and the other 650 pounds. The bear weighed about 150 pounds, To help the Clinton Corn. munity Centre and Arena to raise funds, Mr. and Mrs. Epps donated the larger moose for sale at a banquet, as moose. burgers, or as the directors see fit, "Moose meat is tender meat" Mr. Epps said. "Moose are only afraid of man, so they only move fast when they see him coming. The rest of the time, all they do is eat and sleep," During the hunt, Mr. Epps said, the temperature dropped as low as 56 below zero. "But we built a big fire out. side, and we were comfort. able," he added, As an added bonus, the Epps party enjoyed three rare days meats, would not become a new form of government," said Mr. Urquhart. He spoke about a reorgani. zation proposal to make the rap. .ious zones more active. lie said that county of Huron had been selected as the pilot area to inform councils and business people in all walks of endeavour to the work of Moda and its aims, ,and suggested that a lull• time persiin would be despatch. ed during the year to begin the work.
