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. .

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.

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.
