There have been a few un­ pleasant comments, too, but we suspect these are deserved in most instances ... and we try to give each complaint our atten­ tion and work to correct the trouble if at all possible, Like school teachers, though, we develop the attitude that if we must accept responsibility then we can for the sue. One of the loudest cries we’ve heard to date came from sports enthusiasts who just aren’t get. ting the coverage they expect. We think this is a legitimate complaint and is the reason we have engaged DougAndrews and Clem Wolterbeek to write a weekly column all about the sporting events in the town and area. We would encourage folks with news of sports to contact these two genial, dependable fel- lows at the Clinton and Dist- rict Community Centre. We’re absolutely certain they will hear and heed your every fancy. Marketing class students at Central Huron Secondary .School in Clinton are seen here with their teacher, J. Janes, as they study a merchandising window display set up at the school by Pickett and Campbell, just one of several participating merchants who will be co-operating with local educators throughout the school year. Although just beginning, the move to bring Clinton businessmen and marketing students together will makie possible a unique blend of experience and formal classroom in­ struction in a comprehensive study course. Pictured left to right are Ellen Cole, Joy Seldon, Andy Thompson and Mr. Janes. CHSS students learn marketing * * * The Stewart Middletons have received an interesting letter from Mr. and Mrs. James Jones of London, England. The two couples met while on a tour of the Mediterranean in 1962. The Jones have just return, ed from a Gibraltar-Tangiers trip and Mrs. Jones made these comments in her letter to the Middletons; “Our flight to the Rock of Gibraltar was taken in lovely sunshine and looking down on it from the air, it looked like a red, white and blue jewel in the sea. The Rock of Gibral- tar'-wa tar was decorated with Union Jacks everywhere. They were on buildings,-taxis, even people ., were them as head scarves and dogs wore them on their col. lars! Taxis had them flying from their roofs and radiators. All this was in defiance of the blockade of Gibraltar by Spain in the latter’s desperate deter, mination to take over this bas. tion of Britain.’’ We suppose it was in jest that Mr s. J ones added this after, thought to her note, “Weunder­ stand' that Charles de Gaulle would like to take over the Rock and call it the Gaulle-stone.’’ Teachers at Central Huron Secondary School and the Clin­ ton Retail Merchants’ Commit­ tee have combined forces re­ cently to provide an additional educational bonus for students enrolled in course being school. Head of the partment William Cook ex. plained that through the co­ operation of about 16 merchants in Clinton, the students would have a closer insight into the field of marketing. He agreed that the experience gained by the marketing taught at ■ the commercial de- Merchants local businessmen through long 'years of service to the com. munity would be a valuable source of information for stud* ents who previously had taken all their instruction from books and teachers at the school. “You can talk and talk/’said Mr. Cook, “but a greater im. pact can be made on the stud, ents by someone who is actually in the business of selling.” The local merchants have been invited to dress a dis­ play window at CHSS. The in­ itial window was prepared by Pickett and Campbell with the meet * * * We are pleased to announce that the book “A Centennial Con­ coction of Verse, Fact and Fie- ton,” mentioned last week in this column, is available at the News-Record office. Having read the book from cover to cover, we feel quali­ fied to observe that the author, Mac Thompson of Varna, has an unusual talent for writing which could become widely re­ cognized in the literary field. And we suggest that since this is the first edition of the local man’s efforts it could become a prized possession in years to come. The Elm Haven Motor Hotel in Clinton was the scene Thur s. day evening .Tor a dinner meet­ ing of the Clinton Retail Mer­ chants’ Committee. Twenty . seven business people from the town gathered to discuss promo­ tional features of the upcoming Christmas season. .. ’ A committee of six with ‘Eugene McAdam as the chair, man was formed to plan pro­ cedure with regard to the Santa Claus Parade, a Christmas draw, and other various pro­ motion and advertising. The meeting also set store business hours for the Christ­ mas season. As a result, Clin, ton stores will remain open all day Wednesday throughout Dec­ ember and every Friday even, ing as well as Monday, Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday even­ ings of the week immediately prior to Christmas, December 18 to 22 inclusive, Business places will not be open on any Saturday evenings during December. tary; and Art Aiken was ap­ pointed to the newly created treasurer’s post.

The person in charge of dres­ sing the window is interviewed concerning reasons behind the placement of articles and other matters pertinent to the dis- play. A tape recording of the discussion is then played back to the class which is allowed to study the window at some leisure. Later on, Mr. Cook said, it is hoped that students will have an opportunity to work in the various participating stores for brief periods of time, so that some actual on the job train- ing will be a part of the course. Incpjnplete election results ht press time indicate the Pro­ gressive Conservatives will come out of the election with 7Q seats in the 117-seat legis­ lature with the Liberals still •being the official opposition with 27 seats and the NDP with 20 seats. Most spectacular gains in the election were the NDP who picked up 13 more seats than they had when the legislature prorogued Despite their clear majority, the Conservatives’ share of the popular vote sank sharply. Municipal Affairs Minister Spooner lost his Cochrane South seat to a New Democrat and Mines Minister Wardrope was defeated by a Liberal in Port Arthur. Premier Robarts himself ex. perienced a surprisingly tough tussle with Liberal Frank Car- ter in his own London North riding. He was only 1,500 votes ahead with 140 of the 212 polls counted - a shattering drop from his 8,279-vote margin in 1963. The election outcome was sure to jar Conservative com* placency. The upset-dotted voting also demonstrated that the electorate was not nearly as indifferent to the 42-day campaign as it appeared. The results indicated voters were doing a lot of quiet Boys register . for Kins brooding about the Conserva­ tives’ one-sided grip on power at Queen’s Park. The Qongerv^ atives had beep confident they would wind up with anywhere from 75 to 85 of the 117 seat?, Redistribution raised the number of seats from 108, The party standings at dissolution were: Conservatives, 76; Lib­ erals, 21; NDP, 8, Three seats were vacant. Both Liberal leader Robert Njxon and NDP chieftain Donald MacDonald won easier victories in their home ridings of Brant and York South than Premier Robarts did in his. Conservatiyes could thank loyal eastern Ontario for their clear hold on office because the opposition made only a couple of isolated gains there, • But the government was badly bruised in both western and northern Ontario and also suffered some losses in the Metropolitan Toronto area and its periphery. In Western Ontario, Con- servatives lost Sarnia, Oxford, continued Perth and Waterloo North to the Liberals and Windsor West to the NDP. Perth had been Tory-held for 22 years. The Liberals lost Brantford to New Democrat Mac Makar, chuk r- with Mr. Nixon’s broth- er-in-law, Bruce Forbes, run­ ning last.

This figure includes 36 Wee Wees, 35 Squirts and 25 Pee Wees. This Saturday, October 21 is the final day for registrations, and it is expected that many more youngsters will sign up for the season which this year is starting five weeks earlier than usual. Last year, Kinsmen h.ad 171 registrations. Cost of the 1966-67 program was $1125. Total expenditures for this season have been esti. mated at $1,400. Wee Wees aged six to eight years old will be on the ice from 11 to 12 o’clock; Squirts, eight to 10 years old, from 12 to 1 p.m.; and Pee Wees, aged 10 to 12 from 1 t* 3 p.m. Boys registering on Saturday continued on page 5 Provincial treasurercharles S, MacNaughton was a two to one shoe.in, in the provincial election in Huron County Tues, day. At latest count before press time Mr. MacNaughton had polled 8,343 to Liberal, candi- date Dr. G. Morgan Smith’s 3,723 votes. NDP candidate John C. Boyne trailed with 1,340. Mr. MacNaughton has repre­ sented the riding since 1957. He held a steady lead through, out as the returns came in but ran into trouble in a few iso- lated polls, where the vote was close. In Seaforth he was ahead by 201 votes but the gap was nar. rowed somewhat in Hullett and Stephen where 45 votes separ­ ated’ the leaders. Mr. MacNaughton’s main strength was found in the Town of Goderich where he polled 1,637 to 673 for the Liberals and 309 for the NDP. A wider margin of support was found in his hometown of Exeter where he swamped his rivals 1,183 to 165 and 137 re. spectively. While the vote was lighter this year Mr. MacNaughton picked up his own share of the popu­ lar vote to 71.5 percent from ' the 69 percent in the last elec­ tion. For a poll by poll break down of how the election went in Huron see the results listed below. Colts stag nets $670 Mrs. Harrison votes at 99 Some people may have stayed home from the polls on Tues, day because of the rain, but Mrs. Mary Harrison did not allow the weather to interfere with her right and obligation to vote. Mrs. Harrison, who lives on the second concession of Stan, ley Township with Mr. and Mrs. John Beane always gets out on an election day. That really doesn’t seem too unusual, ex. cept that Mrs. Harrison will be 99 years old in January! Members of Clinton Colt Hoc. key team held a stag and draw night on Friday, October 13 in the auditorium of the new Clin, ton and District Community Centre, and found that the day was lucky rather than unlucky.
