Ian Gibb of Clinton hurls a snowball at the News-Record photographer Tuesday
afternoon to celebrate the first snowfall of the season. The storm dumped more
than half a foot of wet snow on Clinton and district leaving some roads slippery
and many children happy. Bean and corn growers weren't too happy though, as
the weather set the already late harvest back another week.

The hockey season is now under way and
it looks like a good one for Clinton. As has
been the case in the past, the News-Record
will keep our readers up to date on all the
latest rink happenings. We can't be
everywhere at once so we're depending on
the different teams to supply us with stories
and scores of games.
So why not arrange right now and ap-
point someone to write the story for your
league and send it in to the paper every
week. It doesn't take much.

Marg Rudd, our veteran Town Talk
columnist, tells me that she isn't getting
much help with her column lately because
Clintonians won't phone in stories or in-
teresting happenings around Clinton.
Nothing is too small to report so by to
remember us when something happens at
your place, After all this is a community
newspaper for and about you, so why not
help us help you.
* * *
Nola Lee, our hard-working secondary
school reporter needs more help. We've had
a little help, particularly from OW Gibb
.but much more help is still needed. No effort
is too small and guidance is available on
proper news reporting, news writing and
feature writing techniques.

Corte on folks, get your tickets for the
20th Anniversary Party of the Clinton
Credit Union. There will be a big dinner and
then a gala dance on Saturday Oct, 28, but
they need to know before hand how many
people are corning. Drop into the Credit
Union today and let them know you will
help them celebrate,
Municipal nominations in the past have
seemed to be somewhat haphazard affairs.
They were held at public meetings and the
results sometimes depended on just how
many people turned out, A person could be
nominated by only a nominator and with
one seconder to make the nomination com-
plete.
Clinton Police have been busy in the last
week or so, as a rash of break-ins, stolen
cars and traffic accidents hit town.
Fleming's Feed Mill was broken into Oct.
10 and Wettlaufer's Feed Mill was forcibly
entered on Oct. 11. One of Clinton's new
constables Frank Draper, apprehended
three youths in Wettlaufer's and charged
them with the break-ins into both feed mills.
Charged with break and enter are Donald
Boegil, 16, of Kitchener, Van Russel White,
20, of Vanastra and Kenneth Albert
Leibold, 19, of R.R. 2 Clinton.
Wettluafer's Feed Mill was again broken
into last Friday night and Clinton Police are
still investigating the crime.
Vandals smashed their way into Central
Huron Secondary School early Tuesday
morning and pried filing cabinets open and
smashed windows. Police believe the
burglars were scared off and in their haste
to leave, they dropped $30 taken from the
school, Police haven't charged anyone, yet.
Last Monday night, thieves broke into
Merrill Electric and made off with $200
worth of transistor radios and flashlight
batteries,

of the many changes that have taken place
in central India since the first missionaries
went there 97 years ago,
Dr, Moses was invited to tour Canada by
the mission board of the United Church of
Canada as a resource person to speak to
church groups, who this year are studying
India. She is an obstetrician and
gynaecologist in charge of Indore Christian
Hospital and has been active in various
church activities,
She spoke about missionaries to India
who planted the seed of concern to the
downtrodden people of India, especially the
women who were so illiterate, shy and back-
ward, She said the missionaries started
small schools and dispensaries.
Because of the Christian message, she
said, there have been a lot of changes:
Four qualify

The provincial government, however, has
changed all this with the enactment of Bill
77, which was passed this spring, governing
all municipal election procedures.
The main thrust of the differences in
nomination is that the onus is no longer on
the nomination, but on the person
nominated,

owned by Strickland Motor Sales was
recovered in Seaforth, The same night, a
Michigan man Bruce Yongblutt, had a
stereo tape deck stolen from his car,
Clinton Police also investigated two traf-
fic accidents recently, A $1,000 worth of
damage occurred when a car owned by
William Ryan of Clinton was in collision
with a car owned by John Craig of Goderich.
The accident occurred on Victoria St. near
Cutter. In the other accident, $250 damage
was done when two cars were in collision on
Huron Rd, West in Clinton. One car is
owned by Edward Collins of Sarnia and the
other is owned by Gerald Armstrong of R.R.
2 Brussels.
In court in Clinton last week, Provincial
Judge Glenn Hays found David Riley of
Kitchener guilty of having liquor in a place
other than his residence and fined him $75.
Brian Lindsay White of John St. Clinton
was fined $50 for driving without insurance
and $20 for driving without a driver's
licence. Claire Proctor of Clinton was found
guilty of excessive speeding and was fined
$60.
"There has been a disappearance of many
customs, such as untouchability, caste
system, child marriages and selling

When missionaries first-came, she said it
was on a long term basis with some
missionaries staying in India for 40 or 50
years, Now this pattern is changed, they are
coming for short terms — two or three years
— with skills and technical knowledge train
Indians with whom they will be working as

Although there is no hysteria within
Huron County about the abuse of drugs,
Medical Officer of Health Dr. Frank Mills
says more and more parents are expressing
concern for their family's welfare.
"Drugs are freely available in both
primary and seeondahy schools in our
county," Dr. Mills reports. "There is free ac.,
cess and liberal sale of drugs here,"
As the first step in a three-part program
to bring the drug problem into the open, Dr,
Mills has announced the showing of the Art
Linklater film on drug abuse in each of the
county high schools. All students will see the
film through the day; the parents will be in-
vited to the high school in the evening of the
same day for a free showing.
Dr. Mills will be on hand at each showing
to answer any questions which may arise
during the viewing of the film. It is also
hoped that discussion between parents and
their children will develop at home after the
The nomination sheet must be signed by
at least ten electors who are entitled to vote
for that office. The nomination must state
the name and address of each elector, as
well as the name, address, and occupation
of the person nominated, and the office for
which he or she has been nominated,
No nomination is valid, however, unless it
is accompanied by written consent and
declaration of qualification by the person
nominated, The onus is on that person to
file a bona fide nomination paper,
Eligibility to vote or be a candidate in the
municipal election has been expanded. Per-
sons are no longer required to own or rent
property in the municipality. A person
would be entitled to be an elector or can-
didate in the municipal election if he is a
resident in such municipality at any time
during the period of enumeration (the five
weeks following Labour Day), a Canadian
citizen or British subject, 18 years of age or
older and not disqualified or otherwise
prohibited from voting by law.
A non-resident of the municipality at the
time of the enumeration is entitled to vote
providing he is the owner or tenant of land
in the municipality or the spouse of such a

Pulsifer had asked for this approval
because some parents are having a problem
arranging time and transportation to music
lessons for their children. He felt that by
taking the music lessons onto the school
property, he could alleviate this concern for
mothers and fathers of musical students.
Director of Education John Cochrane said
a privately-owned trailer on school property
would present problems as far as fire, theft
liability etc. was concerned.
Jim Taylor of Hensall suggested this
would be the responsibility of the trailer
owner.
