(All you other tree -conscious residents don't jump down my throat!) It really is. though - looking down'from Albert Street, the colours already• are showing, with the promise of better to come. ,-1- + -1- There's plenty of quantityY, in the paper this week - butt also there's a special kind of quality. For the first time me are publishing a souvenir sectilon commemorating the CHSS Commencement and we hope to be able to make this an annual offering. In a day and age when hurling verbal brickbats seems more in order than handing out bouquets - we'd like to do a little of the latter. The suggestion fol.' a souvenir edition came last June from retiring principal, Bob Homuth. Then last week as the make-up of the paper started to take place, we realized how closely the • commencement committee was co-operating with us. And, a very special word of appreciation to Jack Hunt and his co-workers who painstakingly obtained the grad pictures and the per- sonal identifications. Minton is proud of. its high school and the News -Record is equally proud to present thiis first' souvenir, com- mencement edition. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Schoenhals of Saskatoon, ae-compa.nied by their daughter and granddaughter, Mrs. Gordon I arwell and iody; visited with relatives in town `aver the weekend. + + + Vic. and Jean Taylor of Matilda Street have returned after a ten day holiday on the West Coast. They travelled by air making Maple Ridge, near Vancouver, their headquarters while visiting their cousins, Elsie and John Gilmore and other relatives. + + + It was really no laughing matter - but Reg Thompson of Clinton was at least smiling when he came into the office Monday morning to tell us of his experience. While walking down Albert Street a few minutes earlier at the height of the rain and thunderstorm, with a natty black umbrella' poised to protect himself from the elements, one of the elements suddenly struck back. He heard the crack and simultaneously a bright light ran down his umbrella from Itif**004C-****0040f 1 tom.

A reminder from the Clinton' Public Library that the popular Story Hour for the children starts a new season this Saturday, October l'st at 2:30 p.m. jn the Library on Rattenbury Street at Library Park. + + - Well, the Gibbs thought they were building a house - but many a time during the last two weeks they wonder if it shouldn't have been con- structed as an ark. Anyway, their neighbours on the Bayfield Road must have faith that ultimately the abode'', will be ready. Last Thursday evening, Carol and pick -Lobb hosted a "neigh- bouring" which included Kay and Harold Wise, George and Agnes Carbert, May Gibson, and Irene Jones.

Board of Education, the Goderich Lions Club, and the Goderich-Township WI., Qin mistake From up here by Shelley McPhee The shadows get longer, the breeze grows cooler, the. garden' produce is exhausted and the leaves on the trees take on new colors. - Apart from the obvious signs from mother nature, there are many subtle hints to indicate that summer has come to an end and another Huron County winter is upcoming. Fall acts as a go-betWeen stage; to recuperate from a busy°summer, to tie up loose ends around the garden, to stage away tennis rackets and bathing suits and to prepare for the cold months ahead. •Holidays are over and students must dig out last year's pens and binders for a new' school,season.. Sweaters and socks must be dug out' from the bottom drawer and Christmas ,catalogues start arriving in the mail. Far- mers get ready to bring their cattle in the barn for the winter and businessmen must bring in new stock for the change of the season. Housewives preserve and freeze summer's fresh fruits and vegetables and contend with lazy spiders and crazy flies that fill the house. For others, it's time to close the cottage, bring in the boat, have a major tune up on the car and think abouit' snow tires. You know that summer is gone when the fresh green grass disappears under a layer of leaves and the rake has to be recovered out from the back .corner in the garage. instead of vegetable seeds, tulip, hyacinth, and daffodil bulbs are the topics of conversation for avid gardeners. A change can be felt as the sun starts to lose its strength, swimming in the lake no longer seems to be a feasible idea and thunderstorms fill the sky. The change can be seen as birds gather in flocks to prepare for their trip south and freshly plowed fields hide the remains of grain fields. However, despite all these hints that summer,as gone, the most evident sign that shows the change of seasons, for me, is my annual purchase of Kleenex and Contact -C to ease the miseries of my yearly cold. When -this hap- pens, I definitely know that the warhi weather is gone and my red nose and sore throat are here to tay, at least until next spring. In lash week's Middleton ; • News, it was reported that a thank you was received from Audrey Middleton in' regards to' the death of her• father. Although her "`father did pass • .O,wa1$'. it was inadvertently mentioned that Jack Smith 'Was Mrs: •'Middleton's father. However, Mr. Smith is very mucitalive and well and is no relation. to Mrs. Middleton.
