Clinton News-Record, 1966-02-03, Page 3From My Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction .i...............................................................,......................,...Shiyf^y |C^||er Letter to the Editor Tom Recalls Getting Mail From 3 Offices The Editor, Clinton News-Record. Pear Sir ; Years ago I discovered that weekends should be avoided. I recognize the1 need for rest days and a few hours of quiet meditation in communion with the Almighty, but I question the wisdom of modem man Whlo fe naive enough to believe he can pack two days to the brim With activity, leave room for relaxation and worship, and emerge Monday morning with out spot or blemish. Convinced though I may be of the utter folly of attempting to live your life entirely on the Weekends, there are times when I am dragged kicking and screaming into the horrible rush of Saturday and Sunday that man bias inflicted upon himself. The immediate past two weekends were prime ex amples and though my body has survived, my mental outlook has been dangerously shorten ed. On 'both occasions; the .trouble began with a pleasure drive to London — the first time to visit a sister-in-law, the second to do some shopping. Ontario Street UC W Unit 4 The January meeting of Unit 4, Ontario Street UCW was held on January 24 in the chur ch parlour with Mrs. Ross Tre wartha presiding. Mrs. George Colclough was appointed leader for unit 4; Mrs'. Harry Plum steel, secretary and Mrs. Carl MeClinchey, treasurer for 1966. The February meeting will be gin with a potluck supper in the church parlour. I suppose it is unfair of me to associate disaster with Lon don for it certainly wasn’t the fault of city fathers on our initial trip that one finy nephew was plastered with itchy chicken pox that kept him and the whole house awake; that the arrival of the stork neces sitated bedspace (already at an absolute minimum) to be stret ched thinner to accommod'ate .two temporarily motherless little girls-; that deep snow pre vented.1 our retreat to the warm th and friendliness of our own home. - Nor was it London’s fault the following weekend that our fa mily car was caught in a radar trap; that our children expected our hamburg income to finance their filet mignon tastes; that the footwear was all the wrong style and the nightgowns all the wrong colour; or that our homecoming Was made unfor gettable by the arrival of eight unexpected supper guests. As ilf this were not sufficient punishment, last Sunday's bliz zard brought increased prob lems to our by now abnormal house ... a total of 22 persons were fed at our table and bed- ded down, on our counterpane. Railroad terminals and bus depots had nothing on our household as snowbound travel lers streamed through our d'oor-' way, Stood in line outside our bathroom, rinsed diapers in our laundry and contacted waiting girlfriends and anxious families on our telephone1. Even before our “no- vacancy” sign Was hoisted at dusk, we had turned away one nervous newspaper man and two' cold, shelter-seek ing friends of the family. About six am.

JULES BRtCKENpresents BURT LANCASTER tn JOHN FRANKENHEIMER'S ing whilst the1 radio issued weather warnings and adyised of poor visibility and blocked highways, a stiff and weary group pf adults and children scrambled over the snowdrifts and formed a caravan of cars to begin an uncertain journey into the snowy, blowy dawn , , . but not until they had con sumed' gallons of coffee and stacks and stacks of toast. Two old sayings came to mind as I crawled ‘back into bed in an exhausted state of shock . . '’variety is the spice of life” and ''where there is a will, there is a way”. Actually, I have no regrets and bear no malilce. Lessons have been learned and friend ships earned. And maybe1 next weekend will, be less rigorous. tvviews (By William Whiting) The 55% Canadian-content law on broadcasters inflicts many hardships on the viewers- There is evidence of this every day on every TV station. It was obvious that CKCO-TV in Kit chener telecast a special, “Al addin and His Magic lamp”, to gain Canadian content. This Was a one-hour program produced by the local Little Theatre. The dialogue at times was reminiscent of an old Laurel and Hardy movie and, without warning, it suddenly turned into a Frankenstein- Dracula Farce. Such lines as “you mean Al addin’s lamp is magic” were* meaningless, but I’m sure the children liked it and that’s some consolation for 'the station showing it. The best scene of-all was the dance of the three witches, Which reminded me of one of Shakespeare’s plays which has the line “when shall we three meet again, in thunder, light ning or in rain’’. This truly was a musical highlight and should have been expanded. It was here that the composer, Wanda Kanten, showed great skill. Magic in this production was certainly missing in more ways than one. I kept hoping a ma gician would appear on the set and make the production van ish, but it continued for one hour. This is one of the many things wrong with government regulation'. It’s a known fact that Canadian stations' will re run old hockey games and use many other tricks merely to meet the 55% Canadian-content law. This is shameful and the government should know' bet ter. This regulation should be abolished. No wonder Canad ians buy antennas and subscribe to cable companies sb that they can watch American outlets. Judy LaMarsh, please do something about thfe. You’re the cabinet minister for broad casting. Eliminate some of these stupid broadcasting regu lations. , Just a little bit of history With regard to the three post offices I can remember in Clin ton? It is just 63 years ago since they moved out cf the old frame post office into the new red brick one. The old frame post office wais where Newcombe’s Drug Store is now established on Victoria ‘Street, There was a grocery store on the point (where the red ferick post office is), called the Central-Grocery, and it was owned by Harrison Wiltse. (I hope I have that right — oif course a.mistake could be made — a lot of people can’t remem ber what happened the day be fore.) The red brick post office was built in 1903 by S'. S. Cooper, contractor. At that time .the Hon. J, I. Tarte and the Hon. James Sutherland were minis ters of public works in Canada. Member for west Huron was Robert Holmes, MF, Who owned the New Era weekly newspaper at that time. Now the new posit office is in use on King Street. It was opened to serve the public on January 31, 1966. I thought you might like this information, which is real his tory of the town. THOMAS LEPPINGTON January 31, 1966. Clinton, Ontario. -----------0----------- Former Mayor Mrs. Mooney In Centennial Job Mrs. D. D, (Florence May) Mooney, Goderich, has been named Huron County chairman of the Women’s Centennial Ac tivities Committee. The appointment was an nounced by the Hon. James A. C. Auld, Minister of Tourism and Information' and chairman of the Ontario Cabinet Centen nial Committee. She will work to encourage Centennial planning, assist in the co-ordination of area cele brations1 and activities sche duled for 1967 and aid. in other regards women’s ‘groups con cerned1 with Centennial observ ances. i A graduate of Queen’s Uni versity .and1 former school tea cher, Mrs. Mooney maintains a keen interest in educational matters. Active in community and municipal organizations, She is a former mayor of Gode rich. Mrs., Mooney holds member ship in1 the Huron County His torical Society and is.' a descen dant of a pioneer family which traces its origin to’-the United Empire Loyalists and early 19th Century Irish settlers in Ont ario. There is an echo of construct ion on He Notre Dame these days as the complex of cells re presenting Canadian National’s pavilion for Expo 67 progresses'. Chosen as the railway’s part in Expo 67, emphasis is on enter taining the thousands of exhib- bition visitors it is anticipated will march beneath its jewel like domes, “But”, said C. A. Harris, director Of CN public relations, “its objective is also, to> provoke thought and excite the imagination.” The pavilion's unusual design is completely in tune with Our rapidly advancing industrial im age and it will feature the twin theme of Time and Motion. The Time exhibit will be made up Of a series of animated story-telling devices, which a- long with sound effects and mood lighting, wiill be control led by an automatic program mer. Just about everything in side. the exhibit Cells Will move and the visitor Will be almost imperceptibly escorted through the colls by thfe sequence of action and the changing accents Of thfe lighting and sound af fects, There are bine individual cells forming the complex of the pavilion. They resemble large cut gems 24 feet across, at their Widest part and of varying heights, the highest of which is 50 feet Those provide the walk-through exhibit space and are raised from the ground to provide la shelter for those vis itors waiting to enter the theatre, winch will be the larg est section of the pavilion. I am particuiharly impressed by the fact that wheel chair visitors Will bg able to' enjoy this imaginative display. They Will be able to enter this area, follow the crowd in the Time sequence and enjoy Motion, a projection of film in the 200 seat theatre, 'then exit easily onto a thoroughfare. This is something few designers of ex hibition pavilions think about. Many pavilions in past exhibi tions, oh such a large scale as Expo 67, 'ate beyond the plea sure' of pensions Who are, unable to cope With entrances and exits designed for1 visual excite ment rather than practical mo bility. Man and His World, the theme of EXpo 67, inspired CN to choose the twin theme. It reflects our constant awareness Of time and motion which are Of such universal interest these days. These are also the ele ments controlling CN's day in, day out role of moving men, material and messages. Storyline Consultant for this project was Ross McLean who Will be remembered for his im aginative TV productions, While the architectural consultants and the architects are well known Canadian firms as are the consultants for the motion picture.

Reuters news agency reports from London that a San Fran cisco dealer, John Howell, re cently paid this amount during an auction far -a copy of the first complete edition of the Bible in English. The Blible dated 1535, and one of the rare first editions of Miles 'Coverdale, an early English (translator, was among the books and manuscripts' from Chicago’s Newberry Research Library. A new York deader, El Dieff, paid $69,000 at the same auction1 for a Latin edition of the Bible, printed in Venice in 1746. First editions of the King Jamefe version are not as scarce as the Miles Coverdale1 editions. To get these books in1 nearly new condition is a rarity, how ever. Copies of Coverdale,, Tyn dale1, Wycliffe, Geneva, Bishops and1 King James versions are in the Toronto Library of the Canadian Bible Society, and may be seen there. The Wycliffe Bible was the first complete Bible m English and was 'issued between 1380 and 1384. This1 was the first Bible to be divided into chap ters. The Gutenberg Bible of 1455-56 was the first planted Bible. The Coverdale Bible was -the first printed English Bible, issued in 1535.

The answer lies in the important place which the spinal column occupies in chiropractic practice. It is only natural that many people will assume, because a chiropractor adjusts the spine, that this is where he can accomplish his results. But to a chiropractor the spine is the key to .the entire body. He views the body as a unified organism. Therefore, regardless of which portion of .the body may be diseased at any given time, the chiropractor is concerned with restoring the functioning of the body as a whole. His basic principle is that health is possible only with a pro perly functioning nervous system. Since the switchboard of the nervous system is actually the spinal cord — with its countless branching-offs of nerves to the various parts | of the body — the chiropractor naturally reaches the | nervous system through adjustments of the spinal’ column.
