Auditor's Report
The Members of Council and Ratepayers
The Corporation of the Town of Clinton
Clinton, Ontario,
Gentlemen:
I have examined the 1970 financial statements of the Corporation of '
the Town of Clinton and its local boards, which are listed on the attached
Index. My examination included a general review of the accounting,
procedures and such tests of accounting records and other supporting
evidence as I considered necessary in the circumstances.
In my opinion these financial statements present fairly the financial
position of the Corporation of the Town of Clinton and its local boards as at
December 31st, 1970, and the results of their operations for the year then
ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for
Ontario municipalities applied on a basis consistent with that of the
preceding year.

In this day and age it is
increasingly difficult for people
to believe that anyone gives
anything away, free of charge,
without any strings attached.
That was proven to me most
vividly last week when the
members of the National
Farmers' Union around my
hometown conducted a peaceful
demonstration during which
they handed out free milk, eggs,
vegetables etc.
The farmers had decided to
use this method to draw the
consumers' attention to their
plight — low prices. As most of
us are aware, it is difficult for
most housewives in an urban
centre to comprehend low
prices, There just are none at all
when she goes marketing.
But the Farmers' Union was
attempting to show via placards
and literature that they are not
to blame for the high food costs
today because the prices they
receive for their produce are
much, much lower than the
consumer pays when the
product appears on the grocers'
shelves,
I don't know how successful
the farmers were in educating
the public to their problem. I do
know they managed to give
away 600 dozen eggs, a ton and
a half of milk, 30 bushels of
turnips and a live pig!
But people were suspicious.
One lady telephoned me to find
out if it was really and truly safe
to accept these gifts. I suppose
she thought I should know
about such matters, being a
housewife, a mother and a
newspaper reporter.
"Is it really true that they are
iving away food?" she asked.
I assured her it was a fact.
"But why'?" she queried. I
ried to give her an adequate
nswer.
"Are you sure the food is
afe?" she prodded me. "It isn't
polled or tainted, is it, and they
ren't just pawning it off on
eople?"
Certainly not, I insisted. The
ilk is not pasteurized and the
'ggs are not graded but they are
resh and wholesome, I said.
"I don't know," she mused.
`I really don't think it is right
or them to give food away. If I
'an't pay for it, I don't want it.
ou just never know what will
.ome of something like that."
I wasn't that proud. I went

around to the giveaway corner
and stood in line despite the
drizzle,
All around me there was
Muttering and whispering, from
women who felt a little
ashamed, I suppose, to queue up
for a handout. Few of them
were fully at ease with the plan
„to give away diet staples and all
of them were wondering, either
aloud or in secret, just bow this
massive giveaway would be
financed.
As I stood there, one gal
came forward, puffing and
panting like a steam engine.
"I just heard about it," she
explained. "I just heard you can
get free milk and eggs here. Is
that really true?"
I nodded, motioning her to
the end of the Ipne,
"I've never heard of such a
thing," she chattered on. "There
I was, working in my garden and
someone shouted to me that
somebody was giving away eggs
and milk. I thought I'd better
hurry so I came straight out of
the garden. I didn't even stop to
wash my hands."
She stretched out her hands
to show the soil and grime as
proof.
"Who's the nut who is paying
for this?" she questioned,
re-positioning the egg basket and
the milk jug she had brought in
which to carry home her
treasures.
Nobody paid much attention
to her, much less tried to answer
her.
As the line moved forward, I
watched as one very young
housewife shyly held out her
quart bottle to be filled with
milk.
• "You don't have to fill it,"
she said quietly, "I'll understand
if you just give me part of a
bottle."
The young farmer smiled at
her and assured her she was
welcome to a full quart of milk.
"Would, you mind if I called
my friend," the girl asked. "Her
husband is out of work and I
don't think she knows about
this. I wouldn't have believed it
myself if I hadn't seen so many
people carrying milk and eggs by
my door,"
And just as it was my turn at
the front, I heard one lady out
on the street pass a comment.
"You'd think they'd give it to
the poor if they have so much."
spared as a result of this
campaign — the goal has been

In 1969, the last year for
which statistics are available for,
1,804 child fatalities were
recorded. Over 40 per cent of
these were in traffic; followed
by drowning deaths at over 20
per cent of the total.
