Whether or not you are a race fan, you can't help but admire their determination and fight tp give Clinton another grandstand. Little by little the "powers that be" seem to be chipping away at our image. Losing the Canadian Forces Base, the overhanging threat of hospital closure and now condemnation of the grandstand. But this is not the knockout blow - we didn't celebrate our Centennial two years ago•to start a decline into obscurity before the second two hun- dred are gone. We aren't all Kinsmen or Kinettes but let's give them all the support we can. +++ On Monday, March 28, 1977 Mrs. Bertha McLennan celebrated her 96th birthday happily with her friends at Van Damme's Holiday Home on Ontario Street. +'+ + Mrs. Ruth Mulholland of 343 Victoria Street received the congratulatibns and best wishes of many relatives and friends when they.gathered to celebrate her 80th birthday at a dinner held on Sunday, March 27, 1977 in Brucefield United Church. The well wishers came from Toronto, Woodstock, London, Tavistock and the Clinton area. +++ While,. visiting with her daughter, Mrs. Pauline Marlatt of James Street, Mrs. Jennie Greenwood of Bur- ford, Ontario suffered a heart attack. Mrs. Marlatt came into our office specially to tell us how highly her mother spoke of the Clinton Hospital and the attention she received from doctors and nurses, - also the prompt service rendered by the ambulance. + + + • Some of you may have noticed' in the Coming Events of the past two weeks an item for a Ladies' Film Night on Wednesday, April 6 at 8 p.m. Clinton Legion Hall.

Nivins, and Mrs. Pearl Cummings. +++ Lastly but. by no means least - all the townspeople Qf Clinton wish to share with the 'parents of the twenty-seven CHSS students their- thank- fulness ,that their sons and daughtes returned safely from near tragedy on the Canary Islands last Sunday. While investigations proceed into determining the cause of the world's worst air disaster which followed the same day at the Tenerife airport - it has already been established that one of the jumbo jets involved had been re-routed, along with other aircraft, from Las Palmas, where the bombing occurred, to Tenerife. Tenerife facilities were overtaxed, control tower clearances seem to have been misunderstood by the pilots concerned and a collision of two winged giants of tran- sportation took place, spewing death along the runways. So indirectly it really all began with an indiscriminate bombing by those who believe they had a cause to express at the expense of others' lives. This is but another, and ghastly repetition of the death and destruction caused by radicals who choose the ultimate in violence to blaze their so-called cause. It follows similar bombings at the air ports of La Guardia •and Tel -Aviv as well as the constant fear of air hi- jackings. In a world where so much pure plea -sure and con- venience can' be gaine1.by air travel - why must peace of mind, sa-afety apd life itself be sacrificed to a few maniacs?

The .budget allows $4,500 for ad- ministration, $1,000 for figure skating, $550 for hockey, $200 for crafts, $200 for softball and $100 for a picnic. In other business council denied a request by Mr. G. Smith to have part of Plan 4 of the township secondary plan , rezoned to permit a rural residential development. A presentation for Smith was made by the engineering firm of Kiar and Ross and requested council to pass an amendment to the plan to permit the use. Road superintendent Joe Potter was instructed to apply to the province of Ontario for subsidy on the extra costs the township was burdened with for snow removal this winter. A ministry memorandum was sent to the township to calculate the subsidy and is to be completed by Potter. Council filed a request by M.J. Driver to have his trailer ca'mp licence renewed and that he be allowed to increase the number of sites in the camp. The request was filed pending an amendment to the existing zoning order. Albert Brall requested permission to erect a residence on his property and commence his fish farming operation later. Council had earlier accepted Brall's plans to make a viable income from a small section of land by fish farming and allowed him to sever the land and put up a permanent residence. It. instructed him to commence his operation before building . the house however and stood by that decision when Brall asked that he be allowed to build now. Building permits were issued to Hugh Lobb fo iad house addition, d McPherson for a garage, Donald Duff for a mobile home and Harold Kirkconnell for a -house addition. A request by Frank Graham to build a house was held pen- ding approval of the health unit.
