There's a quotation "The
chain is as strong as its
weakest link". Well, all the
links around the Signal -Star
Publishing Company, to
which your News -Record,
belongs, must have been
pretty strong last Wed-
nesday.
Some of you may have
noticed a slight delay in
receiving your paper,
noticeably the ones who are
accustomed to picking up
same Wednesday evening.
Our printing press at
Goderich suffered a break-
down, physically, which in
turn almost caused our
supervisor, John Buchanan,
to have a breakdown
(mentally).
,Hoever, John's forte is
coming through when the
chips are down, so following a
few long distance
negotiations, your News -
Record, along with four other
papers, made a detour via
Woodstock for printing and
arrived back at the office on
Albert Street in the wee small
hours of Thursday morning.
With full co-operation from
our mailers, Annie Hartman,
Wayne Hartman assisted by
Diane Collins, all came in to
work at 5:30 a.m. and we
were able to have the bulk of
our local papa in at the post
office and off on the rural
routes by 8 a.m.

An interesting house guest
with Mrs. Fred Sloman and
Margaret during the past
weekend was Elizabeth
Wilmot, noted authoress of
the book "Meet Me At, The
Station." Miss Wilmot met
with friends on Saturday, and
while her visit was short, she
hopes to be back for a return
visit before very long.

A plea in last week's
column for more music from
CHSS - was perhaps a little
premature. Anyway, there
was something in the Offing
at the time. As readers will
note from the advertisement
in this week's paper - the
student body will be
presenting "Variety" on May
5 in the school auditorium so
why not plan to attend. The'
concert is just what its title
denotes - a potpourri of
musical items.
+ + +
This just wouldn't be my
column if animals, especially
dogs, didn't. paw their way
into it somewhere between
the first line and the last. Ask
editor, Jim Fitzgerald, if that
is not a fact: He is very long-
suffering over my four -footed
affections. Therefore, being a
member of the Ontario
Humane Society, I cannot
help but make note of the
following story which came to
our desk this week.
While Robert Johnston of
RR 1 Clinton was walking
along the railroad tracks near
Holmesville, he noticed
something moving beside the
track. A closer look revealed
two tiny black puppies
huddled together on the ties.
Apparently abandoned, their
life span would have been
quickly shortened had Mr.
and Mrs. Johnston not given
them a refuge in their home.
If anyone at all has any
information regarding these
two castaways or if anyone
would like to adopt one or
both of the puppies, please
contact the Johnstons at 482-
9135. Thank you.

Shepherd,' and the winner was

Mary Street Clinton.
Following the meeting lunch

Considering evil - also
consider the following
quotation by Sydney J. Harris
"Once we assuage our
conscience by calling
something a `necessary evil'
it begins to�ook more and
more neces ry and less and
less evil."
"It's better than school," said Marni Tugwell, 13'and
Patrick Murray, 12 when they spent last Thursday on the
Yarm of Mr. and Mrs. Ed beeves. However, bottle
feeding a three -day-old calf was part of their studies for
farm day in science. The day was part of the activities
for Education Week at the Clinton Public School. (News -

Six months ago I got myself
involved in a Beauty Club in
Toronto and since that time
have been sent bills, bills and
more bills for a kit that I don't
even have!
When it arrived originally it
was broken so I promptly
returned, it, expecting another
one in its place, but no such
luck, only these bills!
Finally I got one of those
"pay or else" letters from
their collection agency. To say
that I'm completely fed up, is
to put it' mildly, so any help
that you can offer will be
appreciated.
The explanation that we
finally got from this firm puts
the blame on their computer.
They send this reader their,
"most sincere apologies", and
told us to inform her, "that
this account is now closed, and
that a refund cheque in full
will be sent right away."

We had to borrow money to
have our car repaired after it
was damaged in an accident
where the owner of the other
car carried no insurance, (he
admitted fault.)
We've been anxiously
awaiting a settlement from
The Motor Vehicles Accident
Claims Fund since last June
and we badly need this money
so if you can help to speed it up
we will be most grateful.
Part of the delay has been
due to the fact that the ap-
plication to The Motor
Vehicles Accident Claim*
Fund was not complete, but
since that missing information
concerning the uninsured
driver has now been received,
an early settlement cheque
should be issued in the very
near future.

1 hope you Will try to help
me with my problem which
concerns O.H.I.P. and I realty
can't understand why.
I am at present on social
benefits and according to my
social worker my O.H.I.P.
premiums are supposed to be
paid for by them. Everything'
has been all right up till now,
but suddenly I received word
from O.H.I.P. that my
coverage has run out and they
won't pay my claim.
There was some doubt about
the status of our reader's
coverage, but that has now
been rectified so a cheque has
already been issued to her
Doctor to cover past
professional services, but one
bill that O.H.I.P. does NOT
recognize is for Hypnotic
Treatments which it seems
this reader had undergone.
Apart from that, all is now
in order between her and
O.H.I.P.
