Clinton News-Record, 1967-10-05, Page 1No. 40 ^Clinton News-Record THE HURON! RECORD — 86th Yeqr SINGLE COPIES 12cClinton N*ws-R«cord. Thursday, October 5, 1967 The first column BY S JK I Had one Clintonian tell me ■the other day^ that the town teems to be going along on a ■very even keel - no major UPS lor downs to contend with and pew prospects of new happen* pngs on the horizon, f I’m stodgy, I know, but it lis a rather pleasant thing - ■especially at the season of ■Thanksgiving — to have things I so right with the world. I As we look around, Clinton [people really have much to be thankful for this year. Tops on our list, of course, is the lovely new community centre, which Will mean sp much to everyone as the days go on. But this isn’t all. We can be grateful for men like Doug Andrews and Clem Wolterbeek who are both eager and able to conduct the kind of recreation program every town needs,if it is to grow into a well-rounded community; and to the dozens (they must be nameless here) of men and women who work with the children in such acti- yities as baseball, softball, hoc­ key, track, skating etc.* * * We should give thanks for our schools - elementary and secondary — and more particu- larly for the teachers. Though citizens are apt to recall the tax dollars it takes to support schools, they tend to forget the side benefits schools in the community provide other than educational supervision for the young fry. One huge “for instance” we can’t afford to overlook is the number of homes and families maintained in this town because of the schools. There is no denying that educ­ ation is an industry of a sort in this town and we should che- rish it as we would any other money-maker in the district. * * * Another industry-type bles­ sing we have in Clinton is the office oftheOntarioDepartment of Agriculture and Food. It is doubtful if everyone is aware of the number of people who pass through town for no other reason than to visit the corner building, which, deals in up-to- the-minute information for the farmer, his wife and his family. So many services — so var­ ied — join to make this office die focal point of rural Huron Cpimtu/ Who could make light of a situation of that scope? ........ * * _* Made a visit to the office of ;he Huron Liberal Association ast Friday and was warmly jreeted by Mrs. Eric Collins.

Her boss these days, Dr. lorgan Smithes still out knock- lg on doors and shaking hands, he Bayfield gentleman began lis form of campaigning when le election was announced and id not let up since. To quote Mrs. Collins, “He’s sally working.” * * * John Boyne, too is running and fro in the riding, drum- ing up support for the New emocratic Party. Sometimes J’s accompanied by a follower, )me times he’s alone but al- ays he is approachable. We haven’t seen the Hon. harles MacNaughton. We Jard he was in southern On- rio somewhere, helping some Jwcomer get his campaign off ie ground. We suppose he’ll let is cabinet post and some well laced advertising do his leg 'ork for him ... but then, when he chips roll your way why hake the table?
