Buyers are likely to be on hand, horses are moving a little easier, and by a combination of effort there is np apparent reason why the next fair should not be a splendid success. Jackson Bros. advertise ladies' blouses at 40, 50 and 65l with styles of goods as un- common as beautiful, "all wash- able fabrics."

I • 1 Pictorial co Litter in the gutters of Clinton's main streets has been an eyesore for citizens and visitors to the town long enough. The town's street sweeper can't do the whole job. It's time the merchants took a few minutes to clean up in front of their stores. They pay for garbage collection, but from the look of things aren't getting their money's worth. Perhaps they are not aware that under the town's garbage by-law a $50 fine may be imposed on anyone convicted of littering the street, Clinton News ecord THE CLINTON NEW ERA Amalgamated THE HURON NEWS-RECORD • Established 1885 1924 EstablIshe , 1881 Published Every Thursday At The Heart Of Huron County Clinton; Ontario; Canada Population 3,475 [43 0 Signed contrIbiitions to this publication, ere tho opinions of this writers only, and do not necessarily okpriass the views o4 the newspaper.

But a change in the store hours in Clinton has resulted in mass confusion and bitterness among citizens and merchants of the town. A large majority of merchants vot- ed May 23 to close their stores all day Monday from the beginning of June until the Christmas shopping season. ,,Yet shoppers on Monday found nearly as many stores open as closed. Many of the Merchants open Monday had planned to close, but •did not because' "the Opposition" was open. At the merchants' meeting, over three-quarters of the voting merchants -favoured Monday closing. Those who abstained from the vote expressed no preference and claimed they would fol.. low the decision of the majority. Ap- parently, many did not. There appear to be three eminent factions among the merchants; those favoring Monday closing, those in favor of closing Wednesday, and those wish- ing to remain open six days a week. Some also feel the old system of closing Wednesday afternoon should lie rein- stated. Another mechants' meeting Would not solve the problem completely. Since there is no written constitution, mem- bers of the Merchants' Committee are not obligated to follow decisions passed at the, meeting. This presents a serious dilemma. A block of five dissenting merchants could choose to act contrary to the pre- ference of the majority, leaving doubt in the minds of those uncommitted. As long as this tenacious minority remains inflexible in their decision to oppose the rule of the majority, confusion will exist. Robert Campbell, chairman of the Merchants' Committee, stressed to thOse at the meeting the importance of arriving at a- "cut and dried decision", one way or the other. Without a definite decision, the Committee is ineffective, and the town is forced to succumb to the resolutions of a complacent. minority. Someone will have to give in. Will the majority concede to the group of individuals who appear determined to destroy any attempt at unanimity by the Merchants' Committee? We hope not, not as an endorse- ment of Monday closing per se, but as ra plea to merchants to rectify the situ- ation in Clinton. The motion passed at the meeting is effective on a temporay six-month basis. The least the merchants who be- long to the Association can do is give /it a fair trial. OPTOMETRY J. E.
