Now that the Clinton and District
Community Centre is built and func
tioning, we begin to wonder just how
this town ever managed without it, Of
all the really important units necessary
to hold a community together, a build
ing where sports and recreation can
flourish along with the more commer
cial ventures to be found there is an
absolute must,
Aside from adding more scope to
a town's social and business worlds, a
community centre such as the one in
Clinton's park tends to create a whole
new atmosphere among the townsfolk.
As if by magic, a quiet "thinking re
volution" takes place and people be-,
come geared to the pleasant knowl
edge that a large, fully equipped din
ing hall and convention room is avail
able by picking up the telephone,
The centre soon becomes what
the name implies—a kind of hub in the
middle of everything. And strangely
enough, though most people can't
understand why, the whole complex
ion of the community changes as the
vital, hustle-bustle organ pumps new

mobiles, emission control devices on
the exhaust systems of all new cars
sold in Ontario will become imperative.
This is a constructive step toward con
trol of air pollution since it is agreed
that exhaust fumes- from traffic are be
coming sufficient to create a threat to
health, particularly in large metropoli
tan areas.
Emission control devices are cur
rently in use in the United States where
they have been designed to function
primarily in the’warmer climates.
Advance notice of one year to car
manufacturers should provide time to
make whatever modifications are re-
quired to ensure good engine per
formance in Ontario, the department
of health has said. As well, it will give
the province an opportunity to set up
the required inspection and testing
facilities \to ‘ehsure continued .compli-

the life of the vehicle.
Hon. M. B. Dymond has noted
that a quick, reliable inspection and
testing procedure, at a reasonable cost,
is not available as yet. He added, how
ever, that work is actively proceeding
along these lines.
So the obvious question comes
bursting from the mouths of every
citizen—new car buyer or not. "What
will this cost us?"
And one more freedom—the God
given right to breathe fresh air—begins
to be expensive.

Some people take a beating
and skulk away to lick their
wounds. Not me. Like Dief, I
believe that, “When the going
gets tough, the tough get
going.”
Just to digress for a mo
ment, didn’t you admire the
old leader’s courage during
that convention? Though he
was caught in a web of his own
creation, he had enough guts
to die fighting, politically,
rather than find for himself a
soft spot to land on his last
... flight. And the mixed meta
phor spotters can go to work
on that one.
Back to business. You can’t
say I’m not game. Two years
ago, I launched one member of
the family into a university
career. He went into orbit, tot
tered around in the strato
sphere, ran out of fuel, fizzled,
and sank, though not without a
trace.
That was son Hugh. He did
pretty well in high school.

to a particularity putricpTec-
ture — and you have no idea
how numerous they are — he
turned to a class-mate and
said, “That’s it. I can’t take
any more,” walked out, and
hasn’t been back since.
After wintering in Mexico
and other southern climes
(during which he lived on
grass for a three-day stretch)
he came home for a while,

a job. A month later we had a

was about to get a job cutting

letter. He had a job at Ben’s
Delicatessen in Montreal,
hoped to nail down something’
at Expo, and was planning to
enroll at University of Mexico.
Some time.
Undaunted I'm about to
launch another missile at the
university. Kim is too mung to

member of the family.

So .why didn’t she finish her
course in the first place? Well,
to put it in the vernacular, she
got a bun in the oven. The bun
turned out to be our first-born.
She struggled b.ravely to carry

The following is part of an'edi
torial which appeared in the Zurich
Citizens-News following the election
of the new Progressive Conservative
kadar for Canada. We think it sums
up the opinions of many Canadians,
whatever their politics.
When the delegates to the Pro
gressive Conservative convention in
Toronto on Saturday elected Robert
Stanfield as their new leader, they
made no mistake. He is the type of
man—sincere and devoted — that all
Canadians will respect and honor, re
gardless of political affiliations.
The election of a man with the
sincerity of Mr. Stanfield is a great thing
for Canadian politics, which have slip
ped to a low ebb during the past few
years. Most Canadians will begin to
take a new interest in the affairs of
their country, which they have neglect
ed to do in the past few years.
A couple of years ago this news
paper advocated that both Mr. Diefen
baker and Mr. Pearson should retire
from the political scene, for the good
of Canada. Now one of the two men
has been placed on the shelf, not will
ingly but forcefully, and Mr. Pearson
should take the cue and voluntarily
withdraw himself from the scene.
Just as the PC's have come up with
an outstanding man in Mr. Stanfield,
so the Liberal party can come up with
a new leader of like character. We are
thoroughly convinced . that all the
people in Canada are fed up with the
boisterous, mud-slinging type of poli
tics conducted by both Diefenbaker and
Pearson in the past years.
The Liberal party have several
promising men in their camp, among
them are Paul Hellyer, Allan McEachen
and John Turner. While the latter is
possibly not as well known as some
of the older men in that party, we
predict he will be the name to be
reckoned with in the hear future. A
young and sincere man, he could bring
to the Liberal party the same type of
high-calibre leadership as the Conser
vative party is going to receive from
Mr. Stanfield.
Will the man who said this
column revbals my “holier than
thou attitude” please step
forth? Front and centre, please.
Now. sir, let me (and every
other woman in the province)
enlighten you on a few perti
nent facts.

that involves paying
washing the dishes,
