HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1978-05-11, Page 2PAGE 2--CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 197° Goderich to go ahead with grandstand... Just in case you haven't noticed it by now by the different by-line in the head over this writing, this is not Peggy Gibb' the usual keeper of this space, but the old editor filling in while Peggy takes a well deserved rest. Well actually, she and hubby Bert are painting this week out at the "little house on the prairie", but I guess a week away from the News - Record is a rest, no matter what one does. +++ Anyways, I don't get the chance to fool around in someone else's column, as I'm usually stuck on front page. So, forgive me Peggy, for any transgressions, as I'm a poor lost soul. +++ I'm sure that if Peggy were writing this, she would be sure to mention that this Sunday is Mother's Day, that one day in the year when mom is recognized for the 364 other days she is sometimes taken for granted. And because everybody has a mom, let's not forget them. +++ On Tuesday night, the Clinton Kinettes treated about 40 Huronview ladies to a night out, when the service club feted the ladies to supper at Clinton Public School. The event, which has become an annual affair, is just one of the dozens community projects the hard-working Kinettes are involved in. +++ Another "mothering" project has been taken on by the Johnston family on Huron Street in town, as they have adopted four baby racoons. Apparently, the youngsters were left orphans when their mother was shot. Knowing racoons, the Johnstons are in for some fun times, as 'coons, being curious animals, can be real handfulls when they head out on explorations in a human household. +++ In the St. Joseph's Catholic Church mini -fair held last Saturday, Mrs. C. Brand won the first prize of a beautiful quilt, while lucky Irene Heipel won both the second and third prizes. Gerda Brand won the penny 'guessing contest. All in all, a successful fair. +++ A number of members of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Clinton, and St. Thomas Anglican Church in Seaforth attended the ordination of the new rector Rev. James R. Broadfoot, held last Thursday evening at St. James West- minster Church in London. The News -Record will have a complete profile of Rev. Broadfoot for next week's paper. He began his ministerial duties in the two- point gharge last Sunday. +++ A Clinton area girl, Suzanne Ridder is among 15 students from Fanshawe College in London who are participating in two, five- week exchanges with a like number of students from Jonquiere, Quebec. The Fanshawe students and one instructor departed for "La Belle Province" on April 29, and during their stay they will study the French language and assist in community service projects. While there they will live in with francophone families, returning to London on June 4. Meanwhile, the 15 - Quebecers will arrive in London on May 14 for their five-week stay. +++ The following joke is for the amiable Rev. John Oestreicher: "If a minister is rehearsing his sermon, is he practicing what he preaches?" +++ If you want to see 'some excellent theatre, why not slip up to CHSS tonight (May 11) or Friday or Saturday night and see the Clinton District Young- Players production of "Guys and Dolls" with curtain time at 8 p.m. each night. These young actors, with a great deal of adult help, have put many long and hard hours into this production, and a full house on all three nights would be a compliment to their talents. They have had some pretty tough hurdles to overcome on their way to the stage, and at one point, it even looked like the musical would have to be called off. +++ And speaking of actors, Clinton lawyer Paul Ross made a big hit in one of the starring roles of Goderich Little Theatre's Production of "Any Wednesday". According to a review in the Goderich Signal -Star, Paul was "a big surprise and a pleasant one at that .. was excellent in his role .. comical with both words and actions and has one of those voices which carry so well." The Signal -Star concludes, "Those in the audience will be looking forward to more performances by Ross in the future." Clinton court news Larry Fraser received a fine of $174 after he was charged with speeding. Fraser's charge came up on the Clinton provincial court docket which was heard on Wednesday, May 3 in the town hall. Others receiving individual fines for speeding were: Laurie Henderson, $42; Steven Carter, $57; David Anderson, $55; Shane Gibson, $19. A number of fines went out to people who faced charges of having liquor in a place other than their residence or licensed facility. Individual fines of $54 went to Paul Priestap, James Barry, Gerald Armstrong, John Heutel, Alexander Marshall, Jeffrey Gibbings, Edward Courtney, David Anderson.

The cost of the project was estimated at $2,000 for additional lighting and $5,000 for fencing. At the time of the meeting there were still 200 lottery tickets not sold and the committee believed they could not go ahead with the other park improvements unless all tickets were sold. They decided to go ahead with the project and make a special effort to sell the remaining tickets. If all 1,500 lottery tickets were sold the committee would be able to forward $98,000 into the project. But there are still over 100 tickets remaining and the committee is confident they can still be sold. If the tickets are not sold the committee would realize approximately $88,000 from the lottery sales but that extra $10,000 is necessary to the project when matched with grants. From the total cost of $306,000, the Community Recreation Centre grant of $70,000 would leave a balance of $236,000. Wintario would then match the community on. a third of that balance or $158,000, leaving the com- munity to raise $78,000. Of the $78,000 balance the Ontario Racing Commission has agreed to split the dif- ference meaning the ORC and the community would chip in $39,000 each. The total cost of the improvements to the community amount to ap- proximately $118,000. If the grandstand lottery tickets are sold the proceeds would amount to $98,000 and Jeffrey has received several cash donations of close to Moment of Truth Dear Editor, While Pierre Trudeau and Rene Levesque play out their "national unity" game — with the public merely pawns — the situation in Canada continues to worsen.

What do have to do to show he has deserted me? Four elements must be satisfied to prove desertion — (1) the fact that husband and wife are living separately, (2) the "animus" or desire, in this case, on the husband's part to desert the wife, (3) absence of wife's consent as to the husband's separation and (4) absence of conduct by the wife that would justify the living apart by the deserting husband. Basically, if any one of -these elements does not exist, then desertion does not exist. We would strongly suggest that you consult a lawyer for advice and if money is a problem your local legal aid office should be able to assist you. PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMES FITZGERALD Specializing in WEDDINGS • PASSPORTS INDUSTRIAL WORK 482-9502 or 3890 A month ago, two tiling contractors put tiles on my floor. They selected these tiles by themselves. Now, I find that these tiles are cracking badly and becoming very messy. There is nothing wrong with my floor. What rights would I have in this situation? If the contractors were negligent - that is, very careless in the way they put on 'the tiles - action may be brought against them. Also, since this is a contract for work and materials, certain implied conditions of fitness or merchant ability can be read into the contract and an ap- propriate contractual action can be brought against them. THE DOLiAR SAVER NOW ON SALE IN 3 COUNTIES ONLY 1 01 "Where the buyer meets the Seller." I ordered from a mail order firm, a complete table tennis set. This, naturally included the table which was supposed to fold up for easy storage when not in use. The set arrived on time, but the table doesn't fold because a metal bar that should have been included, wasn't! When I phoned to tell them about this they promised to send one right away. They were true to their word, but the bar that we received was too short for our table. ft appears that the people who have been trying to solve your legitimate complaint are almost as exasperated as you, however on our suggestion, they have agreed to solve the "mystery", once and for all, by shipping you out a brand new table, complete of course, with the correct metal bar.
