There have beer) loud
grumblings over alleged failures
of the county to provide books
desired by townspeople, and
over the county's decision to
turn back to the toavn the
responsibility for the library
building which was taken over
by the county only a year ago.
Mr. Phillips said it was
"unfortunate" that persons here
saw "certain book lists and
misinterpreted them and made a
lot of noise."
Book acquisition, he said, is a
job for the professional staff, for
the county board, the county
librarian and the branch
librarians. He said he is
convinced there is "no attempt
being made to deprive us of
books."
As evidence, he cited the
county's 1968 expenditure of
$2,000 for books for Clinton,.
Average book -buying budgets
were $1,100 a year when the
town operated the library,
according to John Livermore,
town clerk.
With regard to the building,
Mr, Phillips said the county
tacitly admits it was a mistake to
take over and is now trying only
to remedy . an unworkable
situation.
He asserted that the• County is
not dictating terms, as has been
charged by town councillors, but
is willing to negotiate aid to pay
a fair rental for use of' the
building.
Mayor Donald Symons
offered thanks to Mr, Phillips
and to Bert Grey, public school
principal and a library board
member Who' also attended the
council meeting, and to the
other board membersfor; their
service to the town. , • ;
• The library. is an .essential
service, the mayor .: said,. )tut
presented the council with few
worries when it was supervised
by the local board. .

From My Window
Lunar pollution
Shue ley Keller
Uncle Sam ,got a lovely
Christmas present this year.
Three young American
servicemen hopped in a .rocket
oneday late in December and
brought back a 'piece' of the
moon to add to America's
already soaring world prestige,
While this trio of adventurers
was circling the great white light
in the sky at a speed faster than
Sound, I was unable to travel 50
miles from home to be with the
family for Christmas. And while
the same group of astronauts
hammed it up on television from
hundreds of thousands of miles
away for all the world to see, I
couldn't bring in a clear picture
from Detroit, only 100 miles to
the south.
Is it any wonder that one of
the air travel companies is
accepting bookings from
travellers who )cope to join the
first pleasure voyage to the
moon?
I don't know though. Seems
to me that all this excitement
about going to the moon is
getting a little out of hand..
The other night as my
husband and I enjoyed a
romantic and .unobstructed view
of a full moon I couldn't help
hilt wonder what it will be like•
when that solar beauty is
invaded by humans and their
inevitable litter.
It may not be in my lifetime,
or even yours, but if the day
ever dawns when man can travel
to a moon resort you can bet he
will tote along an assortment'ef
clutter that could spoil its
natural appeal for the remaining
earthbound souls.
In fact, it is this same kind of
pollution that is driving men off
this planet that has served. so
well down through the ages. Man
has progressed so far now that
he is being overrun by
disposable bottles and cans, gum
wrappers, exhaust fumes, instant
food shakers, smoke, aerosal
sprays, do-it-yourself repellents,
etc., etc.
GRIMSDALE — SHARP
United in marriage on
December 7 in St. Joseph's
Chapel, Edmonton, were
Jeanette, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Alvin Sharp of Clinton, and
James, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Grimsdale of Sonningdale. The
Reverend Father Pederson
officiated.
Given in marriage by Peter
Eberhardt, the bride was lovely
in a gown of white crepe,
featuring an empire waist,
bell-shaped sleeves and a train
which flowed from the waistline.
• Her bouffant veil was held in
place by a headpiece of dainty
flowers and seed pearls.
She wore a pearl necklace
and earrings, a gift of the groom',
and carried a bouquet of white
>gardenias entwined with
stephanotis and ivy.
Maid of honour, Miss Teresa
Pagnutti of Edmonton, wore a
gown of pink crepe with a
bodice of burgundy velvet and
carried a bouquet of pink
carnations.
The groom was attended by
Loran Nichol of Edmonton and
the guests were ushered by Tom
Grimsdale, a cousin of the
groom.
At the reception, the bride's
table was centred with a
three-tier wedding cake and
decorated with bouquets of pink
carnations and white mums. Miss
Janet Grimsdale attended the
guest register. Father Pederson
asked the blessing and the toast
to the bride was given by Larry
Laviolette.
George Ward was master of
ceremonies. The wedding dance
which followed was attended by
relatives and friends of the bride
and groom. For a• wedding trip
to Jasper, Alta., the bride wore a
wool suit of peacock blue with
black accessories and a pink
orchid corsage,
The wedding was attended
by guests from Clinton,
Sonningdale, Perdue, Saskatoon;
Struan and Moose Jaw. The
couple was honoured on
December 14 in Sonningdale at 'a
wedding dance with a midnight
buffet supper.

And .there is every indication
he will make the same mess of
things when he gets to the
moon. He's just .that kind of a
fool, unable to cope without
modern crutches like potato
chips and sour cream onion dip,
Courageous and brave man is,
but too much affluent living has
made him an addict to the soft
life. If he pioneers on the moon
it won't be without such
'essentials as a 12 -pack every
weekend and pizza pie twice
monthly.
Don't get the wrong
impression folks, I enjoy living
in this world jjust as much as the
next guy. But some things are
sacred, like the moon and the
stars and the sun and the rest of
God's marvellous wonders.
I don't care if man explores
thein — even claims them for
himself:But please, let's not ruin
them too with man's smog and
corruption,
