HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1973-12-06, Page 10Jacko and his young master Derek, who served as unofficial representatives of last year's Ontario Humane Society annual campaign, are back again this year, partly by chance and partly through the good work of the Society - and least in Jacko's case. Endearing as he may be, Jacko's rather short on brains and can't navigate round the block without forget- ting where he lives. Thus he's been an honoured guest of Society shelters and can vouch for their room service and cuisine. His Society tag has prompted many kind citizens to call notifying of his improbable travels. In this portrait he is hopefully promising to mend his ways and also to urge you to give generously to his favorite charity - the Ontario Humane Society, 696 Yonge Street, Toronto or your local branch. • The ld WOOL AND ummusnawsts 13th Annual Factory Outlet Sale Now In Progress For the 13th consecutive year THE OLD MILL brings to its many friends and customers their annual factory Outlet sale.

Teachers from Clinton P.S. as well as five other schools met with R. L. Stephenson, programme consultant in mathematics from the ministry of education for the morning session, which was devoted towards metrication. Teachers estimated weight, height, distances, area, volume as well as recording temperatures on the celsius scale. The staff returned to the school for the afternoon session with the topic of Outdoor Education. Mr. V. Elliot, resource teacher ,with the Huron County Board of Education shared his ideas with us on education in the out of doors topics such as the pur- pose, pre-planning, visits and followup were just a few of the , topics presented. Students no doubt will now be taking photographs, checklists or tape recordings on field trips. The two way points made were, that outdoor education was not a reward thing or picnic but an extension of the classroom and that outdoor education is not just in reference to science but covers many other curricular subjects as well. TALENT NIGHT Hullett Central School was well represented again this year in the "Talent Night", held on ' November 24 at Ontario Street `United Chufch in' Clinton spon- sored by the men of the session of that church.

Fora good many years, the street lights and all the house lighting in town were turned off at midnight because the Electric Light Company of Town shut down the generators At that time. By October 1905, they had started all night service on the incandescent lighting for stores and residences, but the arc lights on the street were turned out. After 1910, when the incandescent street lights were ins stalled, they were still turned off at midnight, but if the fire bell rang in the night, the street lights were turned on to help the firemen get to the fire. orfflards4sAvmmitmisAttvirmokvAlminvitawwri We're shopping IN CLINTON ... and why not!
