Clinton News-Record, 1967-09-14, Page 21 Cliftlon N*w«-R«corJ, Thumby, September 14, 1967 i I r A ) If the town of Clinton desires and welcomes new industry, it will be necessary to go out after it. Nice as it would be to sit quietly at rest until some interested business concern came knocking on the door pleading for entrance, it seldom happens that way. The Industrial Committee of Clin­ ton Town Council has a responsibility, which to our knowledge has never been met. In fact, though one would suspect that such officials .would be our most enthusiastic ambassadors, members of committee have not even convened to discuss ways and means to attract industry. What is more, there is every indication that the committee is slow to react to promising situations and a little reluctant to be original. A reasonable begnning, perhaps, would be to launch an. all-intensive campaign to sell the assets we already own; Funds should be made available to transport an informed vital Clinton­ ian to the heart of the action, wherever it is. Studies must be made to deter> mine the kind of industry Clinton could support^and leads must be followed quickly and decisively to their con­ clusion. It is possible, as in other towns in Ontario, that some Clintonians may have money to invest to attract indus­ try. Immediate steps should be taker?' to determine the feasibility of building.; suitable quarters for small industries interested in relocation. Imaginative, thinking people with a determination to bring prosperity to Clinton is what this town needs most. '•T¥ One less vote the largest advantage we a recent Hullett Township About can see in Council move to swing to biennial elections is the effect this will have on the autumn nomination meetings, par­ ticularly those to follow the one scheduled for this fall. In the past, township nomination meetings as well as those in the urban centres have been plagued with dis­ interest and apathy on the part of tax­ payers who are particularly noticeable by their absence. We have scolded public officials on several occasions for their apparent selfish belief that a crowd will gather at nomination meetings to hear a reeve rave about his busy year at county council, or a councillor stumble at length through a boring account of his trip to some convention or other. Most ratepayers are busy people Who sacrifcie precious time to attend' nomination meetings. We feel they are entitled to a far more business-like ’ approach than the sloppy, inefficient treatment they have been handed by some councils in former years. It is possible that Hullett Township has hit upon the solution to this prob­ lem. Once in two years may be often enough to ask the people to convene to hear a performance report—-because chances are the public is better im formed and more intelligent on the subject of municipal affairs than at any other time in the history of Canada. IBITdftlAT page Educate At the annual meeting of the On­ tario Medical Association in Toronto recently, Dr. J. H. Walters challenged the doctors in this province to educate their female patients' to the importance of a pap test for all women who have borne children, all those who have been pregnant even though they had not delivered a full term child, all wo­ men who enter hospital for any reason, all dabetic females, and all women who have shown any unusual disturbance of the cervical cells on a previous visit. The Papanicolaou smear test, if done at regular intervals, will reveal cancer of the cervix before it has reach­ ed the invasive stage and when it is still 100 per cent curable. We doubt there are many doctors in this part of Ontario who have, cause to argue with Dr. Walters' viewpoint The pap test for women is recognized as a reliable indication of whether or not cancer .of the cervix is present. Still / few stnedicafemen\.?take^extractime to suggest that female patients should submit to such a test or in fact, bother to inform patients that such a test is possible. It is interesting to note that the pap - test is becoming an integral part of some public health programs. We would strongly urge, though, that until such a service is offered in Huron County, doctors here should accept the responsibility, as Dr. Walters suggests, to make all their female patients aware of the availability of the pap smear fest. Whose fire? In a world which inGists that the government is the people, it is sur­ prising how little say the ordinary Joe has to say in the matters which pertain directly to.him. In the case of fire protection, for instance; rural dwellers especially, are helpless to penetrate the hard shell of a council which may run the risk of in­ adequate protection for its citizenry in order to save a few tax dollars. At the present time, a few area councils are breaking old familiar ties over a financial disagreement which exists because of a difference in opin­ ion about the importance of things. Urban centres are rebelling at the prospect of further "subsidizing" farm­ ers whom they feel can afford to share in the cost of fire fighting equipment, especially since the largest percentage It is clear that adequate fire pro­ tection is imperative and the responsi­ bility at the present time seems to rest with the township councils. They must either pay for outside fire protection or provide some satis­ factory alternative—but always the residents must be considered, even those who reside On the boundary line just out of reach in case of fire.

Don't worry. After this week, I won’t say another word about Expo. But I wish every school child in the world could see it. First time we ever saw the Expo site was about four years ago, on a trip to Quebec City. The fabulous fairylands, of the islands as they arc today were piles of mud in the St. Law­ rence then. During those years, Canada’s gloom and doom purveyors — and we are loaded with them — happily predicted that Expo would be the flop of the centu­ ry. After all, it was an all- • Canadian production. Couldn’t help but be a dismal failure. The prophets were appalled when it turned Out to be the greatest show on earth. And it is. Aside from (he magnificent pavilions, Expo has an atmos­ phere* a flair, that may never be equalled. There is a gaiety* a courtesy, a lack of commer­ cialism, that is like heady Wine, in this sour, ill- mannered, materialistic age. Ah, the gaiety and courtesy with which we were given di* rectioris for getting’ home, our Second night there! The park­ ing attendants put us on the right road With ineffable Gallio charm, Half an hour later, the signs said We were heading, not west for Ontario, but south-east for New Brunswick. [ Stopped ahd asked fot di­ rections. The chap spoke no English. None But my French was more than up to the crisis. I simply said, “ W6 Wanna go a Ontario Ou est la best route?” He replied difcctly and briefly, in no niofe than eight iniriutes of * arm-waving, shrugging arid "* fast French. Just about then* thapk good- rtess, there was a trefhOridoUs clang on the highway. A Sniash-Up. Nobody hurt, but it did bring the cops. One of them gave me, ih fast, polite and intelligible English,- la route directed We sped happily along until a sigh arindiinced that W0 were heading due oast. My last word for Quebec City. I stopped at a bar. Three delightful chaps gave me three perfectly clear-cut means of getting turned around and headed west. An hour later, we found ourselves nearing the border of New York State. Home at 3.30 a.m.- Aside from a few little mis­ adventures like that, bur big­ gest trouble was girl-watching. I don’t suppose you could take a-plot of ground the same size in’ the entire world and find one-tenth as many beautiful girls as there are at Expo. Nor­ mally, I wouldn’t classify this sort of thing as “trouble”. But the girl-watching we did ruined the ordinary type. We spent -hours and hours watch­ ing Kim. Or trying to. I’ll swear she carried with her a package labelled ‘‘Instant Invi­ sibility”. One minute she was right there at our elbow. But if we dared flick a glance at any­ thing else, she had vanished into a crowd of over a • quarter-million. Twenty frantic minutes later, we’d find her, National Defence to establish a rifle range south of Goder- ich, The pay for cutting weeds was set at 50£ per hour with 10? per hour additional for use pf mower.

Wilson who has been spending his annual leave with his family at the Wesley-Willis United Church manse, Clinton left for Camrose, Alberta,where calmly looking at something and completely uncaring about where we were. Thank God she’s got red hair, or we’d still be muddling around down there, looking for her. With just one to look after, 1 could only imagine the panic of those parents' who were there with five kids darting in all directions. And there were thousands of families, down to three-week-olds, muling and puking in their mothers’ arms. Another problem with Kim was shoes. Going barefoot all summer she has acquired built-in leather soles. First day she were shoes, balefully. Sec­ ond day she stood them for an hour, carried them the rest of the day. Third day, she was happy in raggedy jeans, bare feet, and no parents. No point in my describing the pavilions. But trying to see them all, especially the big ones, is like trying to eat six big meals in a day, one right after the other. If time is limited, nibble the hor d’oeuvre: rum and bongoes at the Haiti pavilion; the stuffed dodo bird at Mauritius; Princess Grace at Monaco. You are not allowed to nibble ei­ ther Princess G or the dodo, but you get the idea. If you’ve been, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, go.
