daughters, Mr. and Mrs.
Brian Sanders and family of
Exeter and Mr. and Mrs. Lyle

Miss Catherine Plumtree,
Albert Street, has returned
from a most interesting
holiday,. a visit to Scotland for
the purpose of researching
family history.
Aside from a flying visit to
Edinburgh to check records
in the Registrar's Office, her
time was spent in Kirkco•nnel,
the little village in Upper
Nithsdale, Dumfriesshire,
from which her mother's
people had come to Canada in
1843.
She was fortunate in
discovering the very farm
house in the hills in which her
great -great grandmother
was born in 1790. Pictures
were obtained of the interior
of the modernized farmhouse
as well as of the beautiful
setting amid rolling hills. A
tiny ruined church, dating
back to 606 A.D., was just
across the Vennel, .a small
stream from which the far-
mhouse takes its name, and
added to the historical in-
terest of the locality.

The youngsters may have a
Birthday Club of their own
but no one deserves
recognition more than those
who have attained the "90.
years and over", hurdle of
life. This week we salute
Norman Ball of Rattenbury
Street West who celebrated
his 93rd birthday Sunday,
September 25, 1977. Because
it is just a step and a jump
from Rattenbury up to Albert
Street we enjoy Mr. Ball's
occasional visit at the office.

The following news release
was received in the office and
rates a little space.
The Eye Bank of Canada -
Corneal Transplants. - ., A
cloudy or damaged cornea.
(the outer surface of the eye)
can cause faulty vision or
even blindness. Today doc-
tors can remove defective
sections and replace them
with healthy -corneal tissue.
The operation is known as a
corneal transplant or graft.
The cornea must come from
eyes recently removed either
as a result of accident to
another part of the eye or
because of death. The Eye
Bank of Canada has been set
up by the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind aided
by universities and hospitals
across the country to receive
and process eyes donated or
pledged by those who wish to
.leave their sight as a legacy
to someone in need. For
further information, contact

Library News
For Kids
by Marian Doucette
While the months of Sep-
tember have been gloor'hy
and rather wet, the Clinton
Library's children depart-
ment has a happy note to tell.
The children's Creative
Drama workshop is finally
coming! On Saturday, Oct.
15, a 21/2, hour workshop with
Heather Earle will take,
place. In this workshop
Heather, a native,of
Newfoundland, will tach
various dramatic techniques
111,11111111.11
and will allow plenty of op-
portunity for each child to
test his -her dramatic ability.
Due to the fact that: this
workshop must remain small,
the library will be issuing
tickets to the first 30 children
between the ages of 8 and 13
who come into the library to
pre -register this weekend.
A creative drama workshop
can be a lot of fun; so I am
appealing to all aspiring
actors in the community to
ACT NOW !

Holmesville 4-H
Meeting three of the
Holmesvill 4-11 '1 club was
held on October 3 at the
leader's home, Mrs. A.
Betties. The roll call, show a
label sample or picture of
processed fruits and tell one
way each- is served, was
answered by 12 girls.
Secretary Mary Jean
Bettles gave her report and $5
from the Bayfield Fair
exhibits was received with
thanks. The next meeting of
the club will be on October 17
at the home of Mrs. Betties.
Ann Kloops led in a
discussion of processing
'fruits by freezing canning and
'drying. Each member
brought a fruit label and
these were discussed in
regard to grade, sugar,
content, size of can,
ingredients, trade name,
etcetera.
Each member drew the
name of a fruit and gave„a one
minute talk on it regarding
where it was .` grown,
varieties, harvest season,
food value, processing, and
how used. All other members
tried to guess the fruit being
described.
All girls helped to make the
Raspberry Bavarian Cream
dessert and the Apricot Tuff.

At first I thought it would be a wonderful idea, that
calories wouldn't count anymore under the new, metric
system.
However, I learned during my reading education on
metrics, that calorie is a metric unit. However it is not a
System International Unitand was abandoned.
Anyway, I am now forced to throw away my calorie
counter and prepare myself for the task of adding yp,
joules,.the metric form of energy, or as I think of it, fat.
I have been going along with the metric change without
too many objections but my British system measured
mind will have some problems adopting the joule
system.
You see one calorie is worth 4.2 joules which means
that a 1,200 calorie diet will now be the equivalent of 5,000
joules. To think on a food feasting day I may stuff myself
with 5,000 little pieces of fat is just too much for my brain
to absorb since I can only think of fat figures in calories.
With such high figures as that, no one will be'able to
convince me that I'm starving even on 2,100 joules a day
which, on my calculator, is only 500 calories.
Along with the thought that I'm eating more, I know for
sure that I'm now burning up much more gas in my car
than I did with the metric change.
Being such an old conservative, or something, when I
see 70 on a traffic sign I often find myself driving that.
However the problem is that I'm driving it in mph in-
stead of km -h.
The same way when I read that my tireshvill take 200
kilopascals of air, the first vision that came to my mind
was me leaving the gas station after filling my tires, not
travelling on the road but floating along through the air.
Somehow this metric change is not easy for me.
Although I thought of myself as young, liberal and
flexible, there is a definite limit to my ability'to adapt.
All I know is that I refuse to eat thousands of joules
when I can feel mentally satisfied by only eating a few
hundred calories.

A good friend of mine lies in
the hospital because he ac-
cepted a ride in someone's
car. 1 claim that the driver
can be held liable, am I right
or wrong?
If your friend intends to sue
the driver then he is going to
need' the services of a com-
petent lawyer who will
ascertain whether he thinks
his client has a case or not.
Generally speaking, the
driver of the automobile is
only , liable to gratuitous
(Free) passengers where he
has been `grossly negligent"
(extremely careless),
otherwise passengers are
taken to ride at their own risk.
This does not apply to
vehicles operated in the
business of carrying
passengers for money, (e.g.
Taxi). . .proof of gross
negligence ,is not needed in
that case.

1 live in a government
owned housing complex. Last
spring, while repairing the
dining room ceiling, a square
was dropped on my dining
room buffet and two deep
gouges made in it.
I reported this immediately
and was finally told to get two
estimates and submit them to
management. I have ap-
proached a dozen people and
none are interested because
the gouges are deep and the•
piece of furniture will have to
be taken out to repair.
Is the' onus on me to find
craftsmen to do this job?
Yes! legally the onus is on
you to get the required two
estimates because if you are
thinking of sueing you must
have a definite amount to go
after.

I am thinking about co-
signing a loan. What does this
involve, please?
Normally a loan .consists of
,a series of one or more
promissory notes. That is. the
drawer of the note — the
person getting the loan —
makes an unconditional
promise to pay a certain
amount to the loan company
or whbever it may designate
at a certain time.
If you co-sign it is generally
as an endorser of the note.
When you sign in this
capacity, you are held to
warrant the genuineness and
validity of the note in certain
respects.
If the person getting the loan
cannot pay off the note as it
falls due, then you Would be
liable, as an endorser, to pay
off yourself.
