HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1978-02-23, Page 2PAGE 2—CLINTON snAY FFRRIIARY 23. 1978 The late George Jessel said, "The human brain is a wonderful thing - it starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public." The above might be true in some cases, but 14 young students of Clinton Public Sclfool provided ample proof that they indeed could get up to speak in front of the judges, their teachers, parents and peers. The results of the Clinton Public School's public speaking finals will be found elsewhere in this edition. Here let it suffice to say how much I enjoyed the judging assignment along with Mrs. Marianne McCaffrey of the Huron Centre for Children and Youth and Mr. Patrick Soldan, Vice -Principal of Seaforth Public School. The subjects of the speeches ranged through boa constrictors, rabbits, sea monkeys, igloos, short people, a camping trip, brothers versus sisters, TV commercials, the space universe and the query that confronted these speech makers "What subject to choose." I came away from the assembly with various tidbits of information unknown to me before. The principal of Clinton Public School, Al Taylor, is to be congratulated for a smooth running program and the students who are attended are to be commended for being a disciplined and attentive audience. +++ Clinton has another recipient of the Queen's Jubilee medal - George "Short": Campbell of North Street. Mr. Campbell is well- known for his many years of service with the Clinton Canadian Legion. ▪ + Visiting over the past weekend with her mother and father Mr. and Mrs. Robert Homuth, Wellington Street was Mrs. Jeff Horton and daughter Holly of Scarboro. + ++ Last Monday saw the departure from Clinton of a well known couple, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Merriman.

Focal point of the seven days was February 22 the date celebrated for the joint bir- thdays of the movement's founder and his wife, Sir Robert and Lady Baden- Powell. This day has been named "Thinking Day" and is celebrated by having parties with an international flavour, sending Thinking Day cards and holding church parades. Clinton's Scouts, Cubs, Guides and Brownies started the week off here by at- tending a service at St. Paul's Anglican Church last Sunday. The World Thinking Day Fund was born from an idea that Guides give a "penny for their thoughts" and so Thinking Day Pennies became a part of the week's celebration. The money is used to help send Canadian Guiding representatives to international events, to bring others who could not other- wise afford it to Canada, to help develop Guiding in countries where Guiding is struggling, and to give assistance to sister guides in times of national disasters. Former Clinton minister dies A former minister of Ontario Street United Church in Clinton, Rev. Glen Eagle, died in Toronto on Tuesday. Rev. Eagle., who served the church during the early 1950's, will be buried on Friday from Greenwood United Church in Toronto, where he had been serving. Further details were not available at presstime. Stuck in the middle by Shelley McPhee I've never been a great fan of boxing, other than seeing the film "Rocky" a number of times. However, with the heavyweight championship on television last week, I had little choice but to sit and watch the match. Although I fell asleep from rounds four to rounds eleven, I woke up in time to catch the last few and the tense moments of choosing a winner. I must admit that I wasn't too keen on the idea of seeing, two, supposedly intelligent men beating each other up, but the crowd excitement, the tension in the commentator's voice and the yelling and jumping of the other people I was watching the match with seemed to be infectious and in no time I was as excited as everyone else. Mind, you, I wasn't sure who I wanted to see win, the great Muhammad Ali or the energetic, hopeful newcomer Leon Spinks. In the end when Spinks took the title I was happy with his win, but felt sorry for Ali, the old man, who went down to defeat. The next day, for once, I was able to add my comments and at least understand the discussions on the fight that was the main topic of everyone's day. However, my interest in boxing was short lived when I read the unfortunate story of Spanish boxer Juan Rubio Melero who was reported to be near death this week after he was battered unconscious in a boxing match with the national middleweight champion Francisco Ramos. In what sports writers said was a mismatched fight, Melero was knocked down three times in nine rounds and had to be carried out by a stretcher, suffering from lung and brain damage. Ramos too suffered from his opponent's injuries and broke into tears as the critically injured Melero was carried off. As far as I'm concerned, this is where sport ends and visions of cock fights or Roman gladiators come to mind. Why wasn't the fight stopped by the referee or the judges or the boxers' coaches baffles me. Surely they must have realized that there is no sport involved in one man completely overpowering another to the point of nearly killing him. However, maybe they don't see it this way and until someone can tell me better I'll give up on watching boxing and go back to sleeping during future matches. Damage was heavy from a fire last Saturday morning that burned a house owned by Milt Dale at RR 4, Clinton. Dale's son-in-law and daughter, Don and Cathy Rueger lost many of their possessions iia the blaze. (News - Record photo) FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, ASK YOUR HEART FOUNDATION.
