At a late October meeting
of the Clinton Women's
Institute the members en-
joyed a program on
"education and cultural
activities", under the
leadership of Mrs. Leona
Holland, convener. She was
assisted by her sister, Mrs.
Helen Rathwell, and her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Greta
Nediger.
Mrs. Rathwell commented
on the "Clinton Car" which
was manufactured in our
town just south of the present
Post Office in 1911 and 1912.
Her . father the late J. W.
Nediger, Sr.., and Mr. Jas.
Stevenson operated this
factory, and in its term of
operation the output was
eight touring cars and more
than that number of trucks
with a chain -wheel drive. The
first touring car was pur-
chased by the wife of a for-
mer Mayor of Clinton, the
late Mrs. Joseph Whitehead
for the sum of $985.00.
Mrs. Rathwell referred to
an article about this car in an
interesting illustrated book
on "Cars of Canada" com-
piled by Hugh Durnford and
Glenn Baechler who were
both active in the field of
antique cars. Inspiration for
compiling this book came
from a list made by the late T.
R. Graham, of Goderich,
Ontario.
Mrs. Greta Nediger told of
her early life in connection
with the railways, as her
father the late Geo. Vanhorne
was a station agent • in
Thorndale, and other points
and later acted as agent at
the Clinton station in the
1930's. Many of these busy
centers have been torn down,
or used for other purposes in
later years. She recalls the
station house, once a busy
place, as a place to go to see
people who were travelling,
or a place to find out the latest
news.
In her book, "Meet me at
the Station", written by
Elizabeth Willmot of Toronto
a lovely picture of the local
non-existent railway station
was portrayed.
It was built in readiness for
the first railway, "The
Buffalo, Lake Huron and
Bruce" line which came
radars have fun program
Angus and Elda Stephen,
Muriel Grigg and Ruth
Shaddick conducted a "fun"
program at the regular
meeting of the Golden Radar
senior citizen club in the
Clinton Town Hall on Wed-
nesday, November 2. The
program was watched by 52
members and several guests.
The club also held a
business session, conducted
by president Mary Grigg and
a minute's silence was ob-
served in honor of Clarence
Ball, a deceased member. A
donation was made to the
intensive care unit at the
Cliriton Public Hospital in his
' memory.
In other business, flowers
were sent to Evelyn Hudie,
Mrs. •Nivens and Ruby
Webster; get well cards to
Evelyn Hudie and Joe Ryan,
and sympathy cards to Ida
Martin and Jay and Norman
Ball.
Plans were finalized for the
Christmas banquet, at the
Legion Hall at 6 p.m. on
December 14. Tickets are
now ons.sale from Ceacilia
Edgar and the final sale date
its December 8.
Final plans were also made
for a visit to the Goderich
Bluewater Club on November
16. Anyone wishing a ride,
please meet at the town hall
at 6:45 p.m.
Three girls, Barbara
Carter, Judy Carter and Liz
Gibson entertained with a
varied musical program.
Barbara played piano solos,
all three sang accompanying
themselves on guitars and
tambourine, then all sang
several numbers ac-
companying themselves on
the mandolin.
A supply of dress -up
clothing was offered and
members were invited to
choose for themselves a
costume. Jessie Jones was
judged as , 'having the best
lady's costume and Ed Johns
had the best man's. Several
contests were then conducted
for the winners, ending with a
hilarious problem and
solution game. A delicious
lunch ended a happy evening,
t /
through this area in 1858 and
which was closed in October
1970. The book also contained
an article on the Wingham-
London branch line called
"The Butter and Egg
Special," built by Patrick
Kelly in 1875, It met a similar
fate in April 1941, after
operating for 65 years.
In dealing with the present
Mrs. Holland read an article
on "middle-aged drop-out"
and at the close ended by
saying that the education of
the future could be done by
