T
Clinton’s First Centennial Week,
NI^XT WE EK Clinton will take qft
a new look — or an old look depend
ing entirely on k personal viewpoint.
Whichever way you see it, let’s all enter
•into the spirit of things and have fun at
this Centennial week, promoted by
Clinton Retail . Merchants Committee.
One of the most important contri
butions anyone can make to the affair
is*' to comply with the committee’s re-^
quest thqt everyone appear in Centen
nial attire throughout the week. Shop
pers and clerks alike will add so much
to the success of the venture ifs the
.. ladies beg, bpri'ow or buy special Cen
tennial gear and 4f the men will respond
to their wives’ requests to.get into spats
and a frilly shirt,
Another b|Qpst would be for every
businessman in town to prepare zsome
kind of a special Centennial display
having to do with their own line of
endeavour, Whether- it is the addition
of a cracker barrel in a supermarket or
the display of a two-wheel cart at, a set4"
vice station, regular customers and visi
tors fp Clinton- will be reminded that
something special is going on here,
Wo hope the' children will partici-.
pate in the fun, too, and that thqy will'
learn from the experience. One of the
greatest benefits from Centennial efforts
across the nation will be thejmpression ■
made on the upcoming generations. ’
Surely a certain amount of pri^e. for?
country and heritage will be the result
of so much planning 'and expense.,
throughout 1967, but we may not be \
aware of its worth* Until much later in J
this century, ! *
At any rate, the event is scheduled
to begin Monday,,,May 15 and continue
until Saturday, May 20. It is up to you
Whether it will be of any valueiat all.

New Facilities In Our Area
WITH THE local fund raising drive
for Clinton Community Centre set, at a
goal of $100,000 and the newly .proposed
renovations to Bayfield arena costing
\ $15,000, also to be realized by a public
appeal, Clinton and area residents,
would seem to’ have little,doubt con.-:
corning the value of proper recreational
facilities. > >
We are proud to be a part of a com
munity where there is so much deter
mination -on the panf of devoted meh
and women to offer the -very 'best their
town or village can obtain in the way of
recreation. •
There is some question, however,
whether everyone sees the same need
to supply the kids and young adults
with skating surface; service clubs and
church groups with banquet space; agri-
• cultural andibusiness officials with meet
ing rooms; and all residents with the
hundred and one other conveniences
Which will be available when the local
projects are completed.
Some may see the construction of
• such premises as a pleasant luxury we
can’t afford but really would like to
have. Others think of it as a progres-
I
sive step which must be taken to sur- ;
vjve. . - • • \
’ In the case of.Bayfield where-there
is plenty of year-round enthusiasm and*
an abundance of summer sport, an arena
equipped the modern way will bring a
greater degree of economical security
and put the village in a position, at least, *
to cater to. the new society where re
creation and relaxation are part of liv- ■
ing.
These same advantages apply to
Clinton, but here there is a need for
more’convention facilities. In the heart
of Huron County as Clinton is, she is
called upon to host many affairs, some
very large and impressive. Until now,
^Clinton officials have had to decline
some offers to accommodate meetings of
any size because there was just no place
to seat large crowds comfortably.
We are hopeful that the, efforts of
many persons in Bayfield and Clinton
will not be in vain. It is our opinion
that the pains and problems of today
to provide recreational and social facili
ties will be forgotten in the sheer satis
faction that useful public buildings are
available.

Maybe it is because Mr. Boyne is so
young. Perhaps if he was older and
wiser in the- ways of politics, he would
not dare to raise the issues about which
there are so many questions. Like car
insurance which costs more and more
at Times
: J
every yeair; and low-cost housing which
simply doesn’t exist; and the wide and
growing' wider gap between labour and
the professions.
- Boyne’S constant references to “free
enterprize” highlights the frequent con
cern in our minds whether the old way
is necessarily the only way. We doubt
there is anyone Who hasn’t considered
an alternate at some time or another,
but gave up such thoughts for fear of
being branded a rebel, a left-winger ,or
something worse.
. We wonder too — as Rev. Boyne x
wonders —- if one must become a Com- 7
munist to fight Communism with weap
ons that Communists can understand^ •
and approve, Or, if all socialist reform
is bad just because it is socialist.^

IN THE April 1967 issue of “The Municipal World”, editor W. S. McKay,
Q.C.j B.A., has an,editorial on “Citizens Pledge” which should be considered
by every civic minded citizen. We print the editorial in its entirety:
■ CITIZENS
“Having become installed in their
hew offices, elected municipal * arid
school officials may well reflect back on
their route to this ‘place in the sun’.
They may wonder at the number of
oaths and declaratioris to which they
were required to subscribe Which were
presumably intended to reassure the
citizen that only worthy persons are
elected to high office. 4 <
“But what of the citizens themselv
es! Having requited the persons offer
ing themselves for office to clearly state
their intentions, subscribe to V$rk>tte!
oaths arid declarations designed to bind
them arid restrict their, practices we may
well ponder the complete freedorii from ___ _ _____ __ _____v__

the citizen also be required to state hfe upholding the High standards that the
allegiance to his community and make
a declaration of his intentions to aid
riiid support his council arid fellow elec
tor^ to the fullest extent of his ability?
“Over two thousand years ago the
ordinary citizens Of Athens subscribed
to an Oath in which they pledged
\ »■»we SHall never bring disgrace to this,
our city; we shall fight for the ideals and
sacred things of the city; we shall re
vere and obey the city laws; We shall
strive unceasingly to quicken the public
sense of civic duty; that in all these
Ways, We may pass on this city, greater,
PLEDGE
better, more beautiful than it came to
us.’
“When we look at the municipali
ties of today, both urban and rural, and
note the examples of wanton disregard
displayed for civic duty; the sacrifice of
rich farm and fruit lands to industry;
natural beauty spots being desecrated
by ’Jitterbugs and vandals, and observe
individuals depreciating the assets of
others by thoughtless construction and
ill planned facilities we may be justified
in wondering whether civilization and
citizenship have in fact advanced at all
in the last two thousand'years.
“By far the majority of persons
Serve their community silently iby their
farsighted Athenians set themselves
long ago. Unfortunately this majority
opinion seldom finely expression being
overshadowed by the Critical comments
of the minority who, often for petty and
personal reasons,- by their words and
actions undermine the image of a com
munity. An Oath or pledge taken volun
tarily by the citizens Of a community

. OTTAWA —- Expo 67 is
launched, the Centennial session
of Parliament has begun,
Ottawa’s first tulips have burst
into bloom and the first* of the «
long parade of state Visitors
have come and gone.
Emperor Haile Selassie, the
Lion -of Judah, the grizzled, di
minutive, 74-year-bld ruler of
Ethiopia was the first to arrive,
complete with an entourage of
15 people and a dog.
The Emperor^ allows himself
virtually no outward signs of
reaction or emotion so his dog,
a little brown animal not much
bigger than a chihuahua, acted
the part of alter-ego and pro-"
vided. the key to the Emperor’s
humanity.
Lulu, meaning Pearl, an un
likely name for a frisky male
dog, was always With the Em
peror and enjoyed! himself
whenever he got .the chance.
Out in Victoria he caused a
little furor when he scampered
in among the guard of honor.
In Ottawa he was on his better
behaviour, but he couldn’t re
sist the temptattori to run down
the long Government House
corridor ahead of his master
signalling the arrival of the of
ficial party.
The African monarch’s visit
to ‘the capital was an important
first for the state visits organ
ization, a special 'group set up
to handle that aspect of the
Centennial celebrations, and -
they wanted to be sure it was
done right. Sb the Friday before
he arrived they put on a dress
rehearsal at the reviewing
.stand in front of the Centen
nial flame ion Parliament Hill.
It was a good thing they did.
Otherwise there would have
been pretty poor press and tele
vision coverage of the visit, Em
it turned out that the sectton'
reserved for the press providied
only a somewhat restricted view
of the rear of the official guest
and no sound whatever.
Reinforced by the caustic
comments of the reporters who
were on hand for the rehearsal,
Mme. Alberte Seneoal, the in
formation chief for the state
visits organization, went to bat
with the organlizers and came
up with a new location that
