best man
Two years ago and again recently
in the Clinton News-Record the pub
lisher stated that these newspapers did
not have any hard and fast political af
filiation. This is still true,
, While today we may suggest you
vote for the Conservative party and
Charlie MacNaughton, tomorrow we
may suggest you cast your ballot in
another direction federally. The reason
ing is simple, We want the best man
to represent us in Goderich, Clinton and
the rest of Huron. Tomorrow the best
man may not be a representative of
the Progressive Conservative party; to
day we feel he is.
Whether the Progressive Conser
vative party is the best one to represent
us in Ontario is a question we are not
prepared to argue here, Certainly they
have kept the province on the move for
many years. There are many who will
start saying "but" after a statement like
that, too.
What we are prepared to argue
is that Charlie MacNaughton is the best
man for Huron. Charlie has turned his
boundless energies loose on doing what
he can for Huron for nine and a half
years.
For three years he was a sitting
member and Huron was receiving all
the benefits of his time and resources.
It did not take his party long to recog
nize what kind of man he was and he
received his first cabinet post six and a
half years ago. For one year he was
minister without portfolio until he mov
ed to highways where he was minister
for four and a half years. Most recently
he took over as Provincial Treasurer,
probably the most influential post next
to that of Premier.
We do not feel Huron has suffered
as a result of our member holding these
very time-, and energy-consuming cab
inet posts.
Charlie, as everyone so fondly
knows him, has always and will always
have the interests of his riding and
constitutents foremost in his endeav
ours. He is always available to his con
stituents regardless of the day or time.
The Conservative Government of
Ontario suggest your date with progress
is October 17. Huron has enjoyed little
or no progress over the past 25 years;
in point of fact our population has de
creased. This is not a point against Mac-
Naughton. Huron is just not as stra
tegically located as other counties. Mac-
Naughton has worked vigorously to
assist us when and where he could
in talking to prospective industry. He
has assisted many in the development
of present Huron County industry and
natural resources.
The brightest hope we have had
in many years is the development of
Centralia. Charlie played a major role
in this transaction. He knew, as did we
all, what it meant to the county. It is
our opinion that this development is
what Huron county residents have long
waited.
We need a good man working for
Huron.
There is really little need for the
turmoil and confusion on the street
outside the Clinton Post Office each day
at the peak hours. Although our af
fluent society finds it possible to drive
the car the few blocks to pick up the
mail, it is plain rudeness which causes
motorists to park helter-skelter all over
the street in this area of town. ,
Most of this impolite parking is
the result of false reasoning which
allows people to believe that as long as
the motor , on the car is running and
since the jaunt in and out of the post
office takes such a short time, no one
will.object if the street intersection is
blocked for a few seconds. Multiply
this kind of inconsideration by the
number of hours each day that the
post office is open, and you have a
.serious problem for which some solu
tion must be found.
Town council has not placed park
ing meters in the vicinity of the post
office so that at most times, there is
ample free parking just a few steps
away from the doors. Clinton policemen
seem to be co-operating with the driv
ers who stretch the highway laws to
the very limit.
The proper approach would seem
to be to appeal to the common sense
of most post office patrons who arrive
by car to do business at the federal
building. More respect for the rights of
others should eliminate much of the
congestion — and cool many heated
tempers.

SUGAR
AND SPICE
by Bill Smiley
Trials and tribulations
There’s an old superstition
that things, good or bad, run in
sequences of three. I'm in
clined to respect it.
During the war, casualties
on my squadron always seemed
to follow the pattern. We'd
lose a pilot today, perhaps two
the next" day, then none for a
week. Then three more.
It happened to me. One day I
was shot to ribbons, by flak.
Had to land at 140 miles an
hour. No flaps, no brakes-
Fortunately, I remembered a
movie. Jammed on throttle,
jumped on the rudder, and
groundlooped just short of a
nasty ditch.
Two days later, I had a bomb
hang-up, and had to land with
a 500-lb. bomb, fused and
ready to go. dangling from my
left wing, That was the
smoothest landing ever made
in World War II. The only
thing that was a bit disconcert
ing was that the control tower
made me land, not on the land
ing strip, but on the grass be
side it, so that I wouldn’t ruin
their runway when I blew up.
The very next day I was
shot down.
This business of things hap
pening in threes is still going
on. Monday the furnace goes
on the blink. Tuesday, your
wife gets ugly about the gar
bage or something. Wednes
day, some jerk creases your
car in the parking lot.
Even the good things come
in threes. And that’s what hap
pened to me this week. Three
delightful opportunities for
the weekend, and I can take in
only one of them. Sickening.
First of all, I signed up to
help supervise a trip to Expo
from our school. This in itself
should prove a fairly hairy ex
perience. Can’t you see me
marching up and down the
halls of a monastery in the
middle of the night, in my
pyjamas and raincoat, trying to
prevent boys from being boys,
and girls from being girls?
I'd just committed myself to
this when old Australian bud
dy, “Dutch,” phoned to remind
me that this was the weekend
of that ancient and honorable
bash known as the Canadian
Fighter Pilots’ reunion. Same
place. Montreal. And he had
booked me on a flight to and
from the flesh-pots of that fair
city.
I was sorely tempted to with
draw from the kiddies’ excur
sion. go to the wing-ding, and
tejike two weeks to get over it,
as uStial. But my wife said,
“You're .not going. You always
come' home 'looking-' like 'a
skeleton.” And. that was that.
Resigned, and feeling quite
noble, I was packing my stuff
for the Expo trip, and patting
myself on the back for doing
my duty, rather than my pleas-
•ure, when number three came
up. An invitation to be a judge
in a beauty contest on Satur
day.
This is one I've been waiting
for for years. I’ve judged essay
contests, public speaking con
tests, apple pie contests at the
fall fair, and for three years
have been’ a judge for the Lea
cock Award for humor.
But I’ve never had a chance
to just sit there and gawp at
those cute kids, leering inside
and pretending I chose the
winner because of her talent,
rather than the way she parts
her chest.
All I can say is, “Shucks!”
And all I need now is for Mike
Pearson to call up and say I’ve
been appointed to the Senate,
^provided I can be there Saturday morning to be sworn in.
Oh, I haven't given up en
tirely. I could go with the kids
to Expo, slide over to the fight
er pilots’ party> “skip the bus
ride home and catch a plane to
the beauty contest.
But I think they’d probably-
bury me the next day. On the
othei' hand, that might not be
a bad idea. I’m not long tor
.this world anyway. Not unless
my wife cools it out a bit about
going to college.
Last Friday night she came
home all fired up about her
course. At 4 a.m. Saturday, I
was reading the part of Socra
tes in Plato’s Dialogues. And
had to rise at seven to get Kim
to her bus for music lesson.
Health units
continued from page I
group. If a large population were
served, the cost per capita would,
come down considerably.
“In summary I would say that
we could achieve better, more
comprehensive services, more
economic services,” the. MOH
declared.
He said that in Ontario, the
service had been rendered to
relatively small groups and it
might be difficult to adjust to
larger ones. His own experience
was that one unit could serve
best, anywhere from 100,000
to 250,000 people.
Warden McKenzie commented
that no doubt a new building
would have to be erected near
the border of the two counties.
He said provincial grants for
this purpose were two-thirds of
cost. Operating grants might in
crease, too.
Clifford R. Dunbar, Grey,
asked if there would be one MOH.
Dr. Evans stated that there
would be one MOH, but to cover
Increased services and territory,
additional medical staff would be
required, such as assistant MOH,
or much Increased intake from
private physicians.
Date of the joint meeting be
tween the two counties, as well
as site, will be set by consulta
tion between officials of Huron
and Perth Counties.

Report of the public Library
Board continued:
“The workload has increased
tremendously since the initiation
of the new system; as a result,
the staff have found themselves
in the position of being behind
in the processing of orders. In
order to alleviate this situation
temporarily, the Board agreed
that certain of the libraries where
services had not been up to
normal, could go ahead and order
books on their own, charging
same to the County Library
Board. Of course, in all cases, a
maximum amount of funds was
made available for this purpose.
“The Bbard, through the sec
retary, whb had been in con
sultation With the architect, has
found the jail residence unsatis
factory for library purposes, the
main problem being the Weight
that would be placed on the second
floor of the building if library
books were to be stored In this

“Therefore, through the Prop

for the Society to move to the
