It was generally felt the ad­ verse weather, especially on the last day, hampered ticket sales. Nevertheless, it could not be considered anything but suc­ cessful. And for that success, credit is due in addition to the Auxil­ iary^ the many people who sup- ported it. There were those in Clinton and the neighbouring communities of Blyth, Londes- boro, Bayfield, Brucefield and Holmesville who, when asked, favoured the canvassers with either merchandise or cash. There were others such as Ross Merrill and Reg Smith. The former very obligingly provided the public address system and the latter supplied, besides money, an attractive outdoor sign. The volunteers who staffed the "store” during business hours must also be recognized as contributing to the Sales satisfactory financial outcome. The iliary’s for the tients. Hospital Services Commission provides Clinton Public Hos­ pital with equipment and ser- vies,there are still many things not covered by the government which are needed in order to care for patients even more effectively. At home, appliances wear out or become obsolete. The same is true in a hospital only the equipment is often more complicated and the cost a great deal higher. Projects such as the Penny Sale enable the Auxiliary to provide a little help where need­ ed. Therefore a sincere "thank you” to everyone for their sup­ port.

A happy combination of pic- tures and a commentary that would have made an evening by itself, provided a most delight­ ful program. Instead of old ruins and castles, Mr. Miles showed a great range of pictures of rural interest. In Great Britian he showed many rural settings. His commentary was lucid and humorous. "Farming in many other countries was a revelation to the Junior farmers on tour. In contrast, our agriculture is much less limited and regi­ mented. The Canadian girls were very smart in navy bla- zers and Maple Leaf pins.” Irish slides showed the "40 greens and 17 shades of purples of the countryside.” Scotland’s Royal Show and the scenes at the Balmoral Show, attended by Royalty, were note, worthy. "There are no midways at British shows and fairs, as the total emphasis is on the live stock judging, which is follow­ ed closely by all present,” said Miles. Mrs. Fingland moved a sin. cere note of thanks to Mr. Miles, stating, "This has been an evening of pure enchant, ment”.
