We enjoy receiving letters to the editor, but please, please, please, sign them. We can appreciate that you may not want your name printed with the letter (although we feel that many people weaken the argument of their letters by not using their real name.) However, before we can publish a letter, we must have the signature of the writer. Then we will print the letter with a pseudonym if they wish but if it isn't signed, we can't print it. The above tirade is occasioned by receiving another excellent letter this week without any signature, We hope the author of the letter will come into the office and sign the letter so that we can print it next week. * * Our editor is starting to doubt the truth of that old saying "You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy." He feels that perhaps his years in the city and his present residence in town have sapped every last bit of country out of an old countryboy and left him a soft city-slicker. The occasion for doubt arose from a trip to the sugar bush with some of the kindergarten students of Clinton Public School last week. If you remember, winter was still very much with us a little more than, a Week ago even theligh the streets here in town were bare and dry. As a result, and our editor is very embarassed about it so don't let it get around, our editor went out into the country with only a pair of toe-rubbers on his feet, He then proceeded to wade through snow up to his knees for about a quarter mile. He remembers when he used to cuss those "stupid city slickers" who used to come up this way in winter without proper footwear. * * Clinton firemen were called to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gurnos James on Albert Street Monday afternoon.

"I want to make it clear," said Councillor Frank Cook, "That we are not turning down the salaries because ' of the wages demanded but because the police have asked for a 40-hour week instead of their present 44-hour week. We would have been willing to give these salaries on a 44-hour week but not for a 40-hour week." Councillor Cameron Proctor blamed the press, and particularly the News-Record, for "damned poor reporting." He claimed the newspapers had reported the salary demands of the pOlice and the fact they (Please turn to Page 2) like changed in our work and decide what is valuable.
