Editor,
Clinton News-Record.
Dear Sir,
After months of tedious pre
paration, June fourteenth has
passed unnoticed and likewise
the “Centennial Concert by the
pupils of Clinton Public School”.
Approximately seventy-five
people attended’this excellent
display of the talent, lying in*
the youth "of Clinton, a dis
gusting minority of/the total
population. Yes, it . was a hot
night for sitting in an auditori
um but surely this .is not the
cause:’ cost was not a factor
either because anyone having
ten cent’s worth of silver could
attend. The money was don
ated to the Community Centre
fund; thus the school gained
no profit as well. It was plainly
DISINTEREST in the young
people of Clinton.
To my knowledge, no one was
.present to represent the. News-
Record and to record ’the merit
.of our youth in photographs or
an editorial. , <
For those who stayed home
to watch television or go to the
highly publicized .Bingo game, I
feel that it is iny duty to en-
. lighten you to the highlights of.
the programme. I am'enclosing
a copy of the order of enter
tainment for'. the ^evening. I
the
.for
Funeral service from
Beattie Funeral Home
Thomas H. Cameron, Huron-
view, was conducted, on Friday,
June 9 by John Martin, Hawkes-
ville. interment was in Brussels
Cemetery.
Pallbearers . were Morman
Ball, Wallace Avery, Ted Reid,
John Rapson, Neaf 'Lpwey and
Lloyd Faust. «>•/
Born in Morris" Township on
May 1,1887, Mr. Cameron pass
ed away in .Clinton Public Hos- !
pital on Wednesday, June 7. He
had farmed for 40 years in
Craigmyle, Alberta afid had re
tired to this district 10 years
ago. A bachelor/ Mr. Cameron
was a member of Maple Street
Gospel Hall, Clinton.
He is survived by one sister,

WEEKEND SPECIAL
trust that you will print this
for “all concerned. -
These .are your future juven
ile delinquents! Does it not in
terest you enough to find out
why they lose interest in our
so-called cultural society or will
you sit back and wait until
they break the law and then
wonder why they are seeking to
be recognized in this way? The
principal of such- a fine school
should, not have to apologize be
cause his students have a pro
gramme on a Birigo night!.
Reave yob with this dis
tressing thought. How will you
feel when these same young
people come to you when you
are old and need them an'd, tell
you to look after yourself be
cause you never had enough in
terest or enthusiasm to come
on ANY night to watch them
give their all to make you
proud?
Happy Birthday Canada! ~
Yours ' with little respect,
BECKY HOWSE

EDITOR’S NOTE: At various
times, ’ this newspaper has
claimed With Miss Howse that
Clintonians are plainly disinter
ested in their Children, We re
member making similar charges
when Girl Guides and the Home
and School Association, at the
Public School threatened to be
discontinued through lack of
interest by parents and adults.
We glso agree with Miss
Howse that News-Record per
sonnel should have been on
hand to record last week’s Cen
tennial: Concert by the pupils
of Clinton Public School. NO
excuse we might offer would be
adequate to appease the ire of
certain persons like-Miss Howse
Who choose to criticize.
In our own defence, however,
we draw Miss Howse's attention
to ThezFirst Column in the
June 8 issue Of the News-
Record.., There,. every attempt
was made to stir up enthusiasm
for the event in minds of our
readers. Surely Teven Miss
Howse* would grant us some
credit for’our efforts on behalf
of the school before the con
cert was staged.
Our thanks, Miss Howse, for
enclosing a copy rof. the pro
gram. We, have made a story of
it and printed it for all the,
townfolk to read.
In conclusion, We trust that
Miss HoWse- will soon realize
with mahy of. her own age
group that while adults may
not always be right, they are
usually'more understanding. We
agree it is a disappointing show
of interest when only about 75
or 100 people show up to ap
plaud a 100-voice school choir
and other acts . . . but we know
that intthis crazy world of ours
where making a living can take
18 hours a day out of 24;
where community work can eat
up another twd or three hours
a day; where demands other
than bingo can take us away
from our duties; and’ where
people are sometimes just plain
tired and anxious to relax, it is
remarkable that so many rose
to the occasion. '
It is difficult for youngsters
like Miss Howse to imagine
anything but disinterest would
keep mothers and fathers ' at
home .... but we submit there
are other things. Whether they
are as important — or only to
be more necessary — is
real question here.
