(Right now, some will disagree, but your writer isn't easily dissuaded.) As a one- time city dwOler and now a confirmed lover of the rural life, . there is mr ' h to be said in its •favour. No endless bltiCks of heavy traffic with whiCh to contend - only one traffic light to , fr1zle the nerves instead of a series of seemingly unsynchronized reds and greens. There's that early morning friendliness as storekeepers sweep sidewalks while .exchanging the "pros and cons of Trudeaum anis, R id- dellmania, McKinleymania or just "What's up Doc?". There's the shared' joy of local accomplishments and the mutual sorrow at any person's misfortune. It may be just a small dot on the map of Ontario but along with other rural towns and Tillages Clinton gives us country living at its best, Mr. and Mrs. Bob'Homuth have returned after visiting with their daughter and son- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Horton of Scarboro.

Although the library spent the past tWomonths in a state of utter confusion, we feel that the summer program- ming was a success; for our circulation increased, and we were constantly seeing new faces arrive each week to - take part in our activities. Throughout the summer, we frequently engaged the help of many individuals; and we w,ould like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to all of these people., In connection with our weekly story hour, the children and I went on several tours to find out what people do all day;,. and the following people took the time to show the children the establishments in which they work. Constable Don Shropshall took time from his many duties • to show. the children through the Clinton Police Station and then` let them personally examine the police cruiser. Norman Giffen, from .Stnathroy, showed the children letters after they havebeen posted, and provided each child with a booklet ;explaining the history of the mail service in Canada. Fred Lobb took time from his day off work to show the children through the Clinton and District Fire Hall, explaining to them how the fire alarm system works and allowing them . to examine the various fire - engines. Ron Walker, a local artist, visited with the children in 'the library and took the tinge to demonstrate various techniques of drawing for them. In connection 'with our various' contests and special events we would like to thank Theresa • Wilson for judging our limerick contest and running the projector, for our showing of Pippi Longstocking; Dorothy Williams for being our judge at the bug-eyed monster 'contest; and Mr'. E. Hunt for .photographing the children at several of our activities. Also, we would like to thank Buffy's Burgers for providing us with several tee-shirts used .as prizes at our bug-eyed monster contest, and Cale Doucette Construction Ltd. r.rfor their donation which we used for buying prizes for our contests. I would now like to express my thanks -to Mrs. Margaret Farquhar, Branch Supervisor at Clinton for supplying and serving refreshments at our . Teddy Bear's Picnic and at our Bug -Eyed Monster Contest. And, I would like to thank all a the children for making this summer a success at the library. ASON WINDOWS • ROOFING • FLOORING • 1 Froin up here • By Shelley McPhee In the past three years 1 have moved eight -times. Between Toronto, Goderich and Clinton, I have kept the family muscles and pick up truck in prime condition. My 4inal inove took place in May when I came to Clinton and with all my boxes of junk and necessities unpacked I vowed to my mother, much to her relief, that I would stay put for sometime. However - I lied. Now I must confront my parents with the news that I'm off again. This time, though, I don't have to drag my father through the maze of -clover leaves and directions to another Toronto apartment. Nor does my family have to look like The Beverly 'Hjllbillies with my furniture lied onto the pick-up with baler twine as we make our way to the city. This time my move consists of a trek across ,onle 120 yards of grass and parking, -lot to -a new' apartment . in Clinton. Although I thought such a short move would be quite easy I'm finding out that it still takes the same amount of packing, the same amount of sorting through my collected waste and the same amount of sweat, sore muscles and tried nerves to lug my assortment of fur- nishings and paraphernalia one half block as it does 150 miles. Analyzing my desire to move I've come to the con- clusion that my decision is some sort of reaction to not returning to school. For the first time in 16 years, Sep- tember is coming and I won't be back in school. I suppose this is a mildly traumatic experience for me with the realization that I don't have to carry out the familiar habit of buying books, paper and preparing myself with the task of continuing my educational pursuits. The adjustment is a little strange and in future years I may regret the fact that I'm not back in school but for the time being I'm too busy trying to organize my worldly possessions to sit and think about my school years. More importantly, • I have to think of being totally prepared for the move when my more than helpful and ,usually patient parents arrive to act as my moving crew. I'm not so good as a mover myself and usually end up sitting in some ;orner guarding my plants and soothing a terrible headache. Anyway, mom and dad, I promise never to 'move again.... until the next time.

CLINTO 'Two years -ago 1 purchased a car from a new car dealer in town. The car I bought from them cost 51175. They a.lowed me 5800 on my old car and came up with the difference of 5495. I never noticed their error in sub- traction until recently, so I took the bill of sale back with me and asked about the error: They refuse to talk to me about it and I was wondering if there is any legal action that could get my 5120 back. There certainly was no need of any legal action to get our readers refund. One call from "IMPACT" and we learned that if the customer had made a personal call, it was withouu the knowledge of the sales manager. This gentleman assured us that he would contact the customer himself, and he did so very promptly with the result that ,the mistake was immediately rectified to everyone's satisfaction. Actually this really didn't surprise us .as this was an "honest mistake" made by one of our most reputable car dealers. We ' only wish that all probelms could be so easily solved. & Son T. Pryde Ltd. District Representative 1 Don Denomme IS HAMILTON GODERICH MONUMENTS • MARKERS LETTERING 524- 2373 or -_w appointments _anytime You often tear people "taking the fifth Amendri1ent" in the United States. Is there a similar right not to testify on grounds of self-incrimination in Cahada? Yes, there is a qualifi right not to testify in Canad on the grounds of ,self- incrimination. But it is of a different'sort than in the U.S. In criminal matters, the law is contained in' the Canada Evidence Act. It provides that the accused need not be put on the stand if he doesn't want to. But if he does go on the stand, he can be, required to answer any question. A witness called in a criminal matter may be compelled to answer any question. But, if he fears that it may incriminate him, he can "ask for the protection of the Canada Evidence Act.'' When the judge grants him this protection, he must an- swer incriminating questions, but his anawers cannot be used against him .in . sub sequent criminal proceeding A similar rule applies in civil proceedings. A person can ,be forced to answer any questions which may make him civilly or criminally liable. He may be given proteption against use of his testimony) in civil proceedings against him, but he cannot be protected against criminal prosecution when he testifies in a civil suit. , Ball 8 Mutch - LTD.
