Clinton News-Record, 1968-06-20, Page 2Sir: School holidays will soon be here, and boys and girls will be' thinking of going to camp. Those who, need it most will have to give up the idea, un- less the Children's Aid Society receives the welcome donations which came from service clubs, church groups and private don• ors last year, enabling them to arrange a camp holiday for 31 children. Camp fees are higher this year, with the cost of living still going up, so this appeal goes to each group which has helped in the thlst, and to all who haven't been asked before, to help the Children's Aid Society this year, so that no boy or girl will be disappointed for lack of funds. Thig is a county project, and a letter is going to each of the weekly papers in the county from W. Hanly, secre. tary-treasurer of the C hildren's Aid Society. ' Thanking you on their behalf, Yours truly, Mrs. Albert Taylor, Member, board of directors. THE CLINTON NEWS-RECORD June 21, 1928.

'NeWS•AcCerck, 1114r40,•4Y, June 190 Your vote counts Canadians will go to the polls on Tuesday to elect the twenty-eighth fed- eral goyernment in the country's his- tory. In every election the individual should regard his right to cast a ballot as a responsibility. In our society, with its universal franchise, we have a basic freedom of choice, and this is best expressed by exercising that fran- chise wisely. In the general election of 1965, one out of every four voterS, did not cast a ballot. Some, of course, had valid excuses. Others were simply apathetic. In many constituencies a candidate won by a very narrow, margin. There might have been different represen- tation had the turnout been larger. Actually, a single vote has been decisive at many critical points in his- tory. , Oliver Cromwell was elected to parliament by one vote, and he , changed the history of England. One man, Adolf Hitler, cast the deciding vote in a beer hall putsch in Germany, and set the world on fire. lylakin67, a sec lion is 'Sften -very inkingt T.)-) r are numerous and varied 'national is- sues at stake. We must not look only at the party leaders, but '.consider the qualifications of our local candidates. We must choose a man who will deal adequate- ly with the problems of the Clinton area; as well as those in the rest of the riding, someone who is aware of the needs of our area. We must not forget that a mem- ber of parliament who is also a mem- ber of the party in power is often heeded before,a member of the oppo- sition. On June 25 you have the demo- cratic right to declare your will at the polls. Before you cast 'that all im- portant ballot, ask yourself if your vote will help elect a man of action to re- present you, as an individual. Your one vote could be very im- portant. 75 years ago THE CLINTON NEW ERA June 16, 1893. Ed Sc.:11ton has been carry. .ing his arm in a sling, the resuit of a block of ice fall- ing on it. John Ransford has returned from the old country. We were shown the other day a horse shoe of ordinary size and thickness but which only Weighed 3-1/2 ounces, or about 10 ounces less than a shoe made of iron. It was made of aluminum, a metal that has recently come into use and if they stand the wear that the ordinary shoe does will prove especially serviceable for trot- ters. The material is too ex. pensive to permit it being used generally, as a set of shoes are worth $4.

Father's Day, as I've said many a time, is a farce only exceeded by Mother's Day. Well, this year, it was even fancier than usual, around our place. It all started with a couple of birdies trying to kill two birds with one stone. My birth- day arrived this year on a Sun- day in June, and my wife and daughter were delighted to realize that it was also Father's Day. Usually, I do pretty well in June. First comes the birthday present, with cards and love and a pair of rubber waders, or something romantic like that, which I've been hinting about for a month, and which goes on my bill at the sports shop. Then comes Father's Day, not long after, and the whole process is repeated, cards, love,, a whiff of respect and some golf balls or other senti- mental token which . . . (see previous paragraph.) I admit that it's a lot of nuisance for the family, but dammit, there should be one Month in the year when a chap is compensated for growing older by picking up some loot he needs. • This year, the girls had it all figured out, They could avoid half of that sloppy nonsense of mucking about with cards, pa- per and ribbon, and trying to be decent to me until at least noon, and save money on the deal. Well, I thought I'd go along with, it; even though I knew I was eing had. I not only had a bath, _but went to church. This tied .in perfectly with the ` whole theme, 'that it was not only birthday but aiso Father's Day: Spurred by all the money shO was saving, my wife even remembered to get her own father off a card and gift, a little late as usual, but sincere- ly felt,, nonetheless. Everything went according to schedule. Kim had stayed out later than I had suggested on Saturday night, and I gave her hell when she came in. But When we got home from church, all was serene, thanks to forgiving, big-headed Bill. She said, tentatively, "Happy Birthday,_ Dad," and I said thanks,- dear, and then I Said "And how about' a Path or's Day hug to cement the deal?", and got one. Then we had the ceremony. She went off and brought in the box, gaily wrapped, and with one of her own inimitable home-made cards on top. It's a full sheet of paper, with "Happy Birthday, Dad," .at the top, in fancy lettering. Below is a sketch, two figures. Bottom left is a stocky figure, resembling a porcupine, gray- ing, but with a jaunty 'red cap and coat, and a swinging scarf. He has a sad, wistful smile, and 'one arm extended , toward a bluebird 'which is flying away from him. Beneath the bird, in fine letters, is the in- scription, "I give you all my . love.", That nearly broke me up. But I blinked back the tears and opened the package. There was a shoe-box inside. My heart sank. Slippers! Who wants them? 'Stocking feet are good enough for me. • It was a pair of golf shoes, which I've needed for two years, and planned to buy this year, even if the crops failed. I have mentioned theta: only about 12 times since Easter. _ However, they're expensive, and only too well did I know that my usual birthday and Father's Day gifts would have cost me twice as much. So I gave the girls the old exactly- what - I - wanted - how - did - you-know routine. • Within half an hour, ,every- thing was back to normal, with my wife asking plaintively why I wasn't like other men, who like to paint, and ivy daughter trying to find out why I'm so square about drugs and psyche- delics and the whole lot. But revenge is sweet, and I had mine. That night, my wife's father phoned. She thought it was about his Fa- ther's Day card and gift and apologized because it was late. He hadn't got it and seemed a little mystified, Her mother wasn't, Picking up thephone, she said, "Do you realize Father's Day is two weeks off, the third Sunday in June, not the first?" And that, gentle reader, proves once again that guile IS no match for geodness, and explains why I scored twice on gifts, as Usual. Business and Professional Director'' Attend Your Church This.
