St. UCW Unit. 3 of Ontario Street UCW will meet in the church parioui' on Monday, January 9 at 8:30 p.m. From The HENRY F. HEALD OTTAWA — This is the mys tic centennial year. How long /..in ii „i._ li : . obvious that it is a year much- like any other ? Social Credit Leader Thompson, in his New Year’s message pointed out that moist of the problems that Can ada and the world faced in 1966 Will still be here in 1967. If anyone is still in doubt, those ■doubts will certainly be dis pelled shortly after the Com mons resumes on January 9. ; One theme that dominated the New Yealr’s messages of politicians, businessmen, qdu- - oators and labor leaders alilce, was the need for .Canada to look out and to move out into the world. With 100 'years of nationhood behind us and our national, tadepeiidetnce firmly -established,, it ’is' ihdeed time Canada*stopped' ifhjhkfihg of it- ‘Self;'as. thbz ydunger son and sitooid Shoulder to shoulder with the 'manure nations; ' • I Ideally this should issue in a clear view of foreign policy espoused and. advocated by at least one -political party. The NDP is united, in its- advocacy of the' popular sociialist Tine which is echoed by -the left wing of political movements •around the world. On the other Side there- are only a few Scat tered voices among the Liberal, Conservative and Social Credit parties that speak out consis tently-for a sound non-partisan foreign policy. This is miost evident on the crucial issues of Rhodesiia and Vietnam, Where the moral rub bish. spewed out about genoicid'e, majority rule, imperialism, etc., has left most Canadians so con- .fu-sed they don’t know which way to turn. . Cardinal Spellman has taken a lot of abuse over hlis call for victory in the war 'in Vietnam. 'The less publicized, but more common reaction from freedom loving Canadians has belen, “thank goodness someone had the guts to say it:” • , , There has been a lot said about the immorality of killing civilians, of bombing villages. There has been' too little s'aid about the .immorality of letting a guerilla organization terror ize a whole country, of letting one country’s representatives on the International Control Com mission thwart the efforts of the whole organization, of con doning Communist • inspired takeover of nationalist move ments in emerging nations. And wlhat could be more- immoral than asking a young man to go and risk His life in a war that you db not expect to win. Victory is possible in Viet nam, just as it was -possible in Germany and Japan, Even .South Korea hais developed into ■a reasonably stable and pro- . .'duotive nation after United Na- " lions troops fought the com munists to a standstill. If the North Vietnamese have been unwilling to go to the peace -■table in the Same manner as •did the North "Koreans, it is probably because they feel they have most of the world (in eluding Canada) on theiri slide. The few hardy MPs like Wallace Nesbitt, Jack Bigg, rlarold Stafford, Bob Thompson ■and a handful of others whlo ad vocate shah a policy appear to be very mulch in the minority. Perhaps a study of the lives and beliefs of the founding fathers of this nation will rally more of their collegues to their Side during this centennial year. Huronview Folk Entertained At Christmas Time Editor, Clinton News-Record. Again a year has passed into history and we at Huronyiew have enjoyed another Merry Ohrli’stmas, As usual our resin dents had the pleasure of being entertained by the Glee Club from the Sergeants’ Mess, of the Canadian Forces Base and the Seaforth Lion’s Club. The pupils of Walton Public School were here, as well as pupils from five of the schools of Mc- Killop Township, and each group put on a very enjoyable program,. ’The Christian Re formed Church, of Clinton were faithful in presenting an hour of fellowship. • The groups from the differ ent churches in. the county cer tainly did not forget the people Who came from their locality, but remembered them with many parcels. The Exeter Legion treated all former resi dents of their area. All this combined with tire gifts of many individual friend's and relatives made this Christ mas oine long to be remember ed, The personal calls and cards make oiur residents feel they are not forgotten and that they are still a pant of the commun ity. My personal thanks for the many floral tributes sent Jo the Home during the past year. They were appreciated by the residents and helped to add a little beauty to the surround ings. A Happy New Year to all from the residents and staff of Huronview, 7 HARVEY C. JOHNSTON, Superintendent. Clinton, Ontario, December 29, 1966. SUGAR AND SPICE by Bill Smiley What a Year I ja« new. The beginning of year is a sort of a "heUo- - and-farewell" effort. It’s a bit like having a party. You ' are fresh, bathed and chiarm- ing. Your '"Hello” to the first guests • radiates i warmith, af fection and vitality. But'’your “Goodbye, goodbye” as the last guests totter off -into , the snow is a combination of exhaustion, relief and cold •horor as 'you realize whart: 1 time' it is. And that’s pretty much the way we feel about the year that’s ahead and the year that has passed. It’s a sign of the indomit able human spirit that we can look back on a year that was nothing but an un adulterated mess, and yet look forward with the gifeat- ■ est cheer and optimism to' 12 months of Whiait will prob ably be' exactly the s'aahie. Or is it plain stupidity, the irrationality of 'mian, the only rational species? For most of us normal hu man beings, each, year, like' life itself is a mixture of pit falls and pratfalls and vic tories and conquests and frus trations and accomplishments, It’s a good drink, but it has more than a dlash of bitters in it.' Maybe your husband had a heart attack. But your daugh ter produced a beautiful grandchild.'Maybe your teen- . age daughter became preg nant. But your old man final ly went bn the wagon. Yoti lost some old friends, but you gained some new ones. YoUr hair grew Whiter' and your teeth blacker. But your arthritis improved and your AUnt Gerty died ■ and left you $284. You worried, for approxi mately four hours, about the state of the world, add the starving in India, and the War in Vietnam. , And you Worried, depending on your age, anywhere from tWb "to 3,000 hours, about: yoUr hair, your complexion, your constipation; your job, your boss, your bills; your ,i . J»—. l—i.— i wife/ your husband, your child ren; your roof, your base ment; your inability to sleep, your . inability to 'hold your liquor as you used to; your mother-in-law, your' daugh ter-in-law; your smugness, your lack of security; your brain tumour, your stomach cancer; your waist-liine, your bust-line. Arid eleventy-sevein thousand other things ■ of equal importance. Yes, Jack or Jill, you worried. Silly, wasn’t it? • Buit this year. Wow! Things are going to be different. Your children, are going to do ' what you want them to. Your ’ wife (or husband) is going to realize, finally, that you were right all the time. You’re going to bie a Better Person. That’s, it. A Better Person. And no gall-dang fooling about it. You are go ing to stop nagging. You are going to be more tolerant of your nutty children (or nut ty parents). You are going to go to church, every Sunday. You are going to get more sleep, more exercise. You are going to have a baby, write . a book, join a club. That’s the ■stuff, chaps. Well, good luck, Mac and Mabel. You may need it. I have the utmost faith in the human spirit, but you can’t kill a dinosaur with a pea shooter. And that's about all we have to fight with When we enter the jungle of an other year of life. However, this is a different New Year. It’s the 100th an niversary of the Fathers of Confederation, or something. I know how that stirs every Canadian to the marrow. There’s no doubt that every one of us feels a thrill of pride as we enter this par ticular year. One hundred years ago, We were a patch- ed-together, uneasy, sus picious, resentful amalgama tion, of distinct areas, worry- ing only about local rights and how much it was going to cost us.But What a change in a (Continued on page 3) Clinton News-Record ERA Amalgamated 1924 THE CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Established 1881 THE CLINTON NEW Established 1869 <«>Published Every Thursday At The Heart of Huroh county Clinton, Ontario, Cahada Population 3,475 Ai LAURIE COLQUHOUN, PUBLISHER ... a . ®ffl Signed confributloru to thk publication, art th* opinion! of th* WrlUrt only, arid do hdt h*c*nar1ly *xpr*H th* vi*Wi of th* n«w»pap#r.U L A Authored •» Second Cl*»i Mall, Part Offlc* Department, Ottawa, *nd for Payment of Portao* In SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Payabl* N advane* -* Canid* *nd Great Britain: 15.00 a year: United Stat** and Foreign: 4.50, Single Ct>pl«: IX Cent*.
