The candy stripers at the Clinton Public Hospital certainly deserve a pat on the back. Many hospitals in this area discontinue this type of program in the summer months. Not so Clinton. Here it is a 365 day project - in July there were 40 on duty and there are 36 in attendance' this month. The staff and patients appreciate the dedication and help of these volunteers. +++ The Clinton Public Library Children's Programs have really blossomed this sum- mer under the capable direction of Miss Marion Doucette. On Tuesday, August 23 at 2:30 p.m. there will be a Teddy Bears' Picnic held at the Library. This is for children of all ages and they are reminded to please bring along their favourite stuffed toy. Besides stories and games there will be a book draw. Punch and cookies will be served. From: up here by Shelley McPhee In the late 1800's a man built a table. The piece of pine furniture was sturdy and unadorned and used as a practical outfit for family meals and a homemaking surface. . In 1976 another man found the .table in an old aban- doned farm house. The pine grain and knots had been buried under decades of paint and varnish and its surface bore the scars of years of use. Hgwever. with the help of tools, elbow grease, paint remover and turpentine the man, an antique fraler, recreated a portion o6 Chnada's history. y Antique„collbcting wand buying has turned into one of our most popular hobbies, businesses and cultural holds on the past. . There is nothing, more enjoyable for me, when I'm in "the proper mood, to spend a day wandering through an antique shop or 6looking at the old furniture and knicknacls at an auction sale. Although the prices are sometimes a little high for my somewhat limited budget, that only shows the lengths that some people will go to to buy an old washstand or oil lamp. I realized the value of antiques, not only through their monetary value but also their sentimental value when I recently decided to look for a couch and some other living room furniture. t - I flipped through the pages of my Sears catalogue and circled a few possible choices and looked through the merchandise at the local furniture stores and saw some very attractive pieces. However I really felt that something was missing in these modern pieces when I spent last Sunday afternoon at an antique dealer's showroom in the area. Although modern furniture has ea very important place and some people prefer it to older pieces, I must admit 'that my heart went out to every old 'chair, table, com- mode tea can and piece of china that I looked at. Some of the pieces have been chipped and cracked, battered and dented, rusted and weathered but they are filled with character and history. Each item has been filled with life and history and seem to have a mellow personality. I do not see antiques like I would a shining new coffee table or a cleanly covered sofa, but antiques are filled with a distinct sign of former life. Like the old high chair that carries two deep indentations where the baby's feet kicked the wood or the enibroidered sampler sewn by Lucy at the age of nine in 1877 or the old tin plates covered with scratches and dents from knives and forks and a few drops on the floor or the bureau with the per- manent stain of a cup embedded into the wood. It's a somewhat comforting and romantic thought to vision the past when you take a• seat in the old Boston Rocker. Just think, Whistler's Mother could have sat in it or Laura Secord, or a mother with her family as their log cabin was surrounded by Indians, or a grandmother as she knitted under the light of a coal oil lamp or a -devoted wife, mourning the death of her family to smallpox, or a young girl writing on her slate... . o- Library News For Kids L by Marian Doucette • will be` holding the 'draw for our summer book contest.

Authority'•s sub- mission of 'fill -line mapsat their regular council meeting held recently. The maps which have taken • two years to complete in- dicate areas ,of erosion and flood threat and potential areas were there may be some slope instability. Now that the maps have been approved, the Authority hopes to pass the regulations that will require applicants for developments to gain approval from the Authority and the township. The 'regulations should allow for more flexible controls over the development of zoning in Stanley. In other council business, a delegation from Varna at- tended the meeting to discuss the proposal of co-ordinating work on sidewalks for the village with county work on the North Road. However, council informed the delegation, made up of Bob Webster and Bill . Chessell, that there was nothing definite about any planned work on the road. _ A major survey "was carried out on the North Road last year but paving the road is not scheduled until next year at the earliest. Eight homes on farms and in hamlets of Stanley have benefitted from the Home Renewal Program. The program allows the municipality to loan out money for people to improve their living quarters. Council ap''proved the payment of $6,200 from the ,program. Half of this will be repaid to the municipality under the terms of the loan. The payment of a number of municipal drains was approved by council: Datars- Logan, $14,800; Van Won- deren, $24,200; Deitz, 511,400; McGregor -Horton, $650. Council also decided to hold future meeting on the first and third Mondays of each month. The change was made inorder to shorten the present Sessions. .•...•.%.%.•0 •...•.....•....••.... , / • The �Un�vers�t 'i ♦ •a FACULTY OF PART- I ♦ i • CONTINUING EDUE ♦ � PI 1977-78 EXTENSION GODER i (TES • The University 'of Western Ontario will / trey listed below, during the coming F. ♦ dicated: . �, CENTRAL HURON SECONDARY S( / Psychology 020 Introduction to ♦ Sociology 233 Social Psycho) English 133 Children's Lite / Philosophy 020 introduction to History 026 , The Two Worlt / • • History 174 Modern Franc Psychology 160 Applied Psych / r / • GODERICH DISTRICT COLLEGIATE / / Politics 020 Introduction to / / / NEW APPLICANTS MUST BE OFF Western Ontario before registering. / completed ADMISSION APPLICATI / before the DEADLINE DATE OF SI / Forms maybe obtained at the Main Of / Office of The Registrar -Admissions, / / i For further information or for an Inf Faculty of Part -Time and Continuing / 3632or 3634.
