Epps Manufacturing Ltd„ Clinton, and Mr. Don Stewart, vice-president, have just retur- ned from a successful business information trip to Britain. Mr. Hearn tells of a London "set- tling in" well after the recent British election. This in spite of the fact that bread is now a rationed commodity and there are queues, reminiscent of war- time, outside the bakers' shops. * * * Renovating or insulating an attic seems to be a sure way to produce antiques of some nature - not necessarily collec- tors' items. Mr. Alvin Cox of Rattenbury Street West unear- thed or rather `unceilinged' an empty 25 lb. paper bag, bearing the inscription, 'Clinton Mill' and on the bottom the name J. & N. Fair, Clinton. * * * Poinsettias may be the flower of the season right now - but there's a plant on Wellington Street 'that doesn't know the Easter Bunny from Santa Claus. • Mrs. Robert Homuth has an Easter lily in full bloom.. * * * Local boy makes good.

T• 'ORMANDY DIAMOND SPECIALISi` eiCiDERICH PAGE 2—C1.,INTON NEWS RECORD, THURDAY, DECEMBER. 12, 1974 this week gives details concer- ning the disappearance, a week ago, of a predominately black border collie, The reason for mentioning it in this column is because most lost dogs have an owner. This dog's owner died two weeks ago - up until then it was a case of dog and man alone with each other. The lady who placed the ad had attemp- ted to give the dog a home after it was left - however, it is thought that he has made an attempt to return to the empty house. "Smokey" is eight years old with arthritis and clearly unable to stand the cold of win- ter. Would anyone in the Clin- ton district, especially in the vicinity of the No. 8 highway approaches either side of town, and Vanastra, seeing this bor- der collie please phone 482-' 7896. Mrs. Florence Pullen is the lady with a heart as big for this lost dog as she has for her own dogs. Bruce Health of the Huron County Children's Aid Society was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Pro Life Association of Goderich and District which was held in Clinton last week. Here he talks with co-chairman Mrs. Connie' Osborn of Goderich.
