From UPI (United Press Inter- national) : "The federal budget speaks in terms of billions. But how much is a billion dollars? If a man stood over a big hole in the ground and dropped in a $20 bill once every minute, day and night, it would take him 98 years to throw a billion dollars in the hole." Now, what boggles my mind is - how big is the hole? + + + This week Clinton bids adieu to Mr. and Mrs. Orland Johnston. They have,been an integral part of the com- munity, both business wise and socially for many years. Good wishes go with them as they divide their retirement between Point Clark and Florida. + ++ Before leaving, the Johnstons entertained the staff of "Edith 'Anne Hair Fashions" at the Bruce Inn, Kincardine. Also present on this occasion were the new owners of the hair salon, Mr. and Mrs. Rick Humphries.

A total of $1,000 in merchandise cer- tificates will be given away. Our mistake A sign in the News -Record editorial office says, . "Doc- tors can bury their mistakes, GM can recall them and presidents can classify them, but newspapers are hung`out for everyone to see." . Last week the News -Record incorrectly reported under a picture the name of Roy and Freida Scotchmer's son. His name is Ken, not Roy and the paper would like to apologize to the Scotchmers and Bayfield correspondent Milvena Erickson for this. In another identification line, Mary Jamieson good naturedly reported to the paper that it was not her who was seen in a photograph with Santa Clause at the Wesley - Willis Morning Market, but Edna Cantelon from Clinton. Due to typographical errors, it was stated that one prize in the Clinton mer- chants Great -give -a -way was worth $1,000. Unfortunately an extra zero was placed and the -gift is actually worth $100. Total prizes are $1,000. Sharon Colclough may not look her age, but the Clinton secretary who was the top 4-H winner is really 20 years old, not 80, as was incorrectly printed. Unfortunately mistakes do occur and the News -Record apologizes for any in- conveniences these errors may have cause 1► "Look dad there's an orange tree growing in the livingroom," little Jackie Lee, 18 months, seems to be saying. Actually she is quite familiar with the tree and likes to pick the fruit off it according to Mr. and Mrs. Larry Lee of Vanastra who have had the dwarf orange tree for nine years. Larry planted the tree from a seed and now it has grown to four feet high and yields about 2p oranges a year. Thesecret of its growth is lots of sunlight and moisture. (News -Record photo) Stuck in the middle by Shelley McPhee Some people may want to punch me in the nose for this, but I must admit, I think I prefer snow over rain. Not that I like snow that much either,' but at least it's not as messy as rain and what a mess rain is, especially when it comes seeping, no, more like pouring into your office. Just as the News -Record building decided to acquire a new roof early this week, the rains carne. Now we know here how poor old Noah must have felt, but as of yet we haven't had to go to the extremes of building an ark and the modern day convenience of plastic sheets has come in handy. There is plastic draped over...the desks, over all of our mailing equipment, covering old newspapers and old files and soon, maybe even the staff here. I'm glad I bought that rain coat now, but I may have to invest in a pair of rubber boots instead of snow boots. Not only do we have limited dry space in the office now, but all of the garbage pails have disappeared to various spots here and there to catch the drips. I've come to the conclusion that if I don't drown -.Apt, I'll probably be buried alive in the crumpled up.pap'ers and other waste that has been accumulating beside my desk, where my trusty garbage pail once stood. Luckily we're high and dry in the editorial department this time, but if a strong wind from the west comes up, along with'driving rain, the story might change. One evening in the summer, I was sitting at my desk typing away on one such rainy night, when the rain came pouring in the windows and within minutes my desk and Editor Jim's were swamped. My stories were soggy, my precious news, notes were ruined, my prized diploma, hanging on the wall just escaped destruction. I was. soaking wet. Garbage pails were toobig to sit along the narrow indow ledge to stop the drips, so every coffee mug in the lace came to my rescue, despite the fact that they had to. be emptied every 15 minutes. So after experiencing these occasional flash floods in the News -Record office, I strongly believe that I would prefer the snow and sit in my drafty corner, shivering "Can we borrow any buckets from anybody?" Jim screamed from the other encl of the office', as more rain began seeping through the tiled ceiling. Maybe we should just abandon the buckets and start ordering lumber, nails and hammers. Perhaps Noah had the right idea after all. MAN -S1 = D GIFT IDEAS Give the man on your list a gift he .can wear.

PAINT WALLPAPE A CARPETS HOME it BUILDING CENTRE LIGHTING 4824441 • ,, 230 BAYFIELD RD. CLINTON 1 7' Three weeks ago we published a letter in this column from a reader who had acquired a criminal record when he was a teenager and he wondered if there was anything he could do to obtain a "clean slate." Since then we have got two more letters from readers interested in the same subject. "Impact" has received an Extract from the Criminal Redords Act which outlines pardon procedures. Although this Extract gives a brief explanation of these procedures, it is nevertheless too long for publication here, so we will simply suggest to ALL readers interested in further information that they contact, Ms. Julia Hobson, Asst. District Director, the Solicitor General of Canada, 195 Dufferin Ave. London, On- tario. N6A 4V8, or by phone at, 679-4253. 1 1 482-3752— IF BUSY 482-9796 Almost two years ago I was involved in a minor car ac- cident and I never heard anything about it until last week when I was amazed to get a letter from an insurance company stating that I was going to be sued for damages. It happened so long ago I can't even remember the details. What can I do? Wh'y the Insurance company waited so long to send you a letter .is a mystery to us because there is a limit of 12 months in bringing a suit as a result of an automobile ac- cident: Since that time has new expired you CAN'T be .sued for damages even if. you were at. fault. We suggest that you reply to the letter, pointing out section H6 of the Highway Traffic Act to them. 81 Son T. Pry�de Ltd..

We have no way of knowing who made the' mistake,'me or the other girl, so the boss has deducted $9.50 from each of us. Is he allowed to do this? No, legally he cannot!
