It is time for the churches to'
admit that many people can get
along very, well without the
church, as such. Admitting this
can bring many people back to
church!
There are those who have had
enough spiritual capital invested
in their psyche to be able to
make moral judgements, to
exercise personal disciplines
without becoming fanatic on
either emotion or intellect, and
to enjoy the grace of freedom,
apart from a structured or
institutionalized expression af
their faith. There are "good"
people who have never been
inside a church. (We preachers
don't like to admit that unless
they are our own ptirents, and
some bigots won't even admit it
then!)
But, there is a factor which
economics recognizes, that
churches have not pushed
enough.
Economists tell us that every
dollar brought into a town does
the work of seven dollars before
it leaves that town. That is, that
one medium of exchange serves
as seven exchanges. Now, 700
per cent return on any
investment is not to be taken
lightly.
Therefore, let the churchmen
talk honestly about those who
do not, themselves, need the
fellowship, instruction and
celebration which church
participation affords. Concede at
the beginning that some people
do not need the church.
Once that concession is made,
the real issue can be put:
magnifying one's own spiritual
capital by seven times! If one
person who did not need the
church would make the effort to
bring some of those who do
Members of the Clinton
Kinsmen Club were at the town
council meeting .Sept, 8
to .Outline their plans for
improvement of softball and
baseball facilities at the
community park and to ask for
assistance in the $1.6,000
project.
One obstacle to completion
of the work is lack of adequate
drainage on part of the land, the
Kinsmen said, and action taken
later in the meeting by council
promises to alleviate the
situation.
Council decided to hire Burns
M. Ross and Associates, a
Goderich firm of consulting
engineers, to prepare plans for
reconstruction of Albert Street
from Highway 8 to the town's
north end and to study drainage
in the northeast section of the
town.
Councillor Cameron Proctor
called the Kinsmen's plan "an
exhilarating sort of thing."
A number of people wish
they were younger, he said, "so
they could join such an
ambitious club."
"It makes us feel good," he
added, "to see people building
up the town and not going
around squealing tires, throwing
bottles and wrecking things."
Mayor Donald Symons said
the .council is "grateful to get
this sort of recreation moving"
and said he was quite certain the
town would be able to assist by
providing men and equipment
for some of the work' and by
applying for provincial grants to
offset some of the cost.
In other business, council:
Talked of having the CIF
Clinton radar antenna unveiled
at the main corner on Nov, 7.
An armed forces reunion is to be
held next June, before phase-out
of the base progresses too far. It
was decided that there is not
enough time to plan for an "old
home week" to coincide with
the unveiling.
—Discussed holding an Old
Boys Reunion in 1975 when the
town marks its 100th
anniversary. Similar reunions
were held on the town's
quarter-century, 50-year and
75-year anniversaries.
—Gave its approval to a
design by William R,iehl to be
used for souvenir ashtrays and
plates Mr. Riehl hopes to have
manufactured and sold in town.
The plate would carry a large
picture of the radar antenna
which was a centennial gift to
the town from CFB Clinton.
—Observed a moment of
silence for the late H. C.
(Tubby) Lawson, a real estate
and insurance man whose record
of community service extended
back over more than three
decades. Mr. Lawson died Aug.
31.

The Hon. Stanley J. Randall,
Ontario's minister of Trade and
Development, speaking to a
businessmen's group last week,
recalled that on one occasion,
after a communications expert
concluded a lengthy and
involved treatise, only one
person in the audience
applauded. And that poor
individual, said Mr. Randall,
"was slapping his head to keep
awake."

Oli, no, only a fool would

human. None need think he
condescended to help another.
Just the witness of a person's
loyalty would make the impact
T1. hoped for. If every chur man
would be absent from other
functions because he was byal
to his own church, the word
would get around. Then, those
who are at the point of suicide
would see a place where hope
existed. Those on the verge of
collapse would be pointed
toward a word of life. The weak
would be encouraged.

Perhaps the slogan of
