Town hires planners, prepares zoning bylaw
In deciding this week .to hire
planning consultants to lay
groundwork for passage of a
zoning bylaw, Clinton's Town
Council and its appointed
planning board took the first big
step toward regulating land use
and assuring orderly growth for
the town.
After a presentation by Bud
Kuehl, planning board chairman,
and R. J. Boussey,
secretary.treasurer, the
councillors voted to retain
Dryden and Smith Planning
Consultants, of Kitchener, to.
work with the local board to.
survey and .map the town, decide
on land use recommendations
and draft a proposed zoning
bylaw.
• The planning board leaders
indicated that most of the work
will be finished this year and
that the cost through the end of,
1969 will total about
$5,200.
Of the total, $3,600 is for the
basic study , by Dryden and
Smith, the balance for meetings
with the consultants, legal fees
and other expenses,

Start search for new doctor
The board of trustees of
Clinton Public Hospital this
week received the town council'
guarantee of financial support
for a committee set up to
investigate the possibility of
getting another doctor to
establish a practice in the town.
Orville L. Engelstad, hospital
administrator, sent the council a
letter which was read at Monday
night's meeting in Town Hall.
Mr. Engelstad said the hospital
board is setting up the special
committee with one member of
the hospital board, one
representative of town council
and two members of the hospital
medical staff.
Council quicklyindicated it
backs the plan for a committee
and appointed Reeve. James
Armstrong to work with the
group. The reeve last month was
named as the council's
representative on the hospital
board as well.
The councillors agrees to
share with the hospital board
any reasonable costs incurred in
the committee's work.
The moves by town officials
come as a result of last month's
announcement by Dr. J. A.
Addison that he would retire
from general practise in June
after 28 years in town.
Several local residents have
reminded the , council that
although six doctors have served
the Clinton area, two are
specialists who do not engage in
full-time general practise.
The council received a letter
from the Clinton Kinette Club
which said the "future doctor
shortage" will leave Clinton in a
"very serious position .... more
so than some people realize."
Two local women appeared at
the last council meeting to urge
action to find a new doctor as
soon as possible. They pointed
Preacher, topics named
for Renewal Week here.
Renewal '69 moves into the
preaching phase with a Renewal
Week in Clinton starting Sunday.
The Rev. Jerome Stowell, a
Passionist priest, will be the
preacher at St. Joseph's Roman
Catholic Church here.
"Change in the World and
Change in the Church", "The
Knowledge Explosion and Its
Influence," "Can the Church
Today be Relevant," "The God
of Promises and Future," and
"Modern Christian Families" are
among the contemporary themes
that will be subject matter for
sermons next week.
Father Stowell is one of 20
renewal preachers from
throughout Canada and the U.S.
participating in the week-long
programs in 90 Roman Catholic
parishes in western Ontario.
Twenty Protestant Churches are
also participating.
The renewal preachers have
been astonished at the interest
shown by Roman Catholics in
the Renewal '69 program being
carried out in Western Ontario.
Already two regions have
participated in a renewal week,
the Lambton County churches,
which was an interfaith effort,
and the RC Churches in Kent
County. Currently, the roving
theologians are in Norfolk and

4-H clubs organize
in county
This year's Huron County
4-H agricultural clubs will all be
organized next week. The clubs
are open to young men and
women who were at least 12
years old last January 1 and who
will not reach their 21st
birthday by December 31 of this
year.
The 1969 4-11 program will
include two conservation clubs
in Huron County — the one in
this area sponsored by the
Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority and directed by Ken
Musclow with Don Lobb of RR
2, Clinton, as volunteer club
leader. Age limits are 16-21 for
these clubs.

countywide farm and home
electric club open to those
between 16 and 21.
For further details about
times and locations of the 4-H
organizational meetings,, consult
the advertisement appearing

The conservation clubs hope
to focus attention on the need
for good conservation practices
and to develop an understanding
of the significance of forests,
soil, water, fish . and other
wildlife in our modern economy.
The club starts in May and ends
in August and will include field
trips, discussions and possibly
participation in a conservation
camp.
The electric club will be
sponsored by Ontario Hydro and
its basic objectives will be to
create a better understanding of
next week
the application and uses of
electricity on the farm and in
the farm home and also to study
safe use of electricity.

Merchants become teachers for two weeks
Quite a few Clinton stores
have been used as classrooms the
last two weeks.
But it isn't due to any crisis
in the schools. In fact, it is
becoming an annual event which
goes unnoticed by most people.
It's part •- an important part
to two dozen teenagers this year
-- of a vocational training
program at Central Secondary
School.
George Cull, co-ordinator of
the six$year-old CHSS
occupations course, describes it
as a two-year program for both
boys and girls. Combining
practical and academic work, its
aim is to teach transferable work
skills and ready the graduates for
the job market, though not
always for any specific trade.
Students in the occupations
course are allowed to seek jobs
and leave school at the end of
the second term, early hi April
this year. But first, they all
spend two weeks actually
working in a local business.
The school finds the jobs for
the students and makes ail
arrangements with ' the
"employers." The young men
and women Work during normal
school hours, and receive no
pay, The businessmen find
themselves not only offering
instructions and guidance, but
filling out evaluation reports on
the students ability in various
tasks, attitude, punctuality,
honesty, personal appearance
and other factors vital to getting
and keeping regulate jobs;
Occasionally the temporary
job leads to a full-time position,
but that's not the main goal. Mr.
Cull stresses that what counts is
having enough employers
cooperating to place all the
students each year and trying to
place them in jobs suited to their
skills and interests.
In school, practical training
for boys involves work in
welding, carpentry, shoe repair,
paint and decoration, auto
service, sheet metal, horticulture
and small motors.
Girls learn beauty culture,
hospital services, homemaking,
restaurant services, sewing and
retail merchandising.
This year's , class has girls
working at Le Patrician
Hairstyling, Lori -Lyn Beauty
Lounge, Edith Anne Hair
Fashions, Bartliff Bakery, Ltd.,
and Huronview, all in Clinton.
Other "employers" include
Alexandra Marine and General
