Having a half guilty
feeling that I had left
editor, Jim, in the lurch
last week with Town Talk
to write and nothing
much in the "pot" - it was
wonderful to buy the
paper and see such a
plump column - a special
thanks to all of you who
sent in the news items -
and thanks Jim for pit-
ching in.

Marriage time - and
here's a definition of
honeymoons - by Ray C.
Bandy, "A short period of
doting between dating
and debting."

The Bell Reunion was
held July 30 at Riverside
Park, Wingham. Among
the reunioners were
several residents of
Bayfield, Clinton and
Goderich Township.
The guests who came
the farthest were Ken and
Lou Royal of New Lowell,
Ontario. Oldest guest was
Harry Cochrane 75 of
Clinton. All had a good
time and left looking
forward to next year's
`reunion to take place at
Clinton Conservation
Park.
+ + +
All Town Talk items
interest me - that's why I
enjoy doing the column.
No, I'm not nosey - just
interested. However, I
must admit to having a
soft spot for travel items
and when the travellers
have been out to
Canada's west coast -
then that really sets my
blood in action and my
feet itching. So you see I
was absolutely tran-
'Sported with the two
western travel tales
following.
+++
Verna and Bob
Morgan, Mary Street
have returned after a
three week tour to the
West Coast. After taking
in the Calgary Stampede
at a cool 10 degrees C
after leaving Clinton
sizzling at 28 degrees C, it
was on to Edmonton and
from there to Cold Lake,
Alberta to visit with ex-
Clintonians, Earl and Ida
Roberts, formerly with
Air Force here.
Through the mountains
and on to the coast in
North Vancouver they
spent a number of days
with other Clinton folk,
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Sparks,
who were also stationed
here with the RCAF. A
trip to Vancouver Island
rounded out their western
holiday.
+++
Bob and Wynne
Homuth are back from
their tour of the Alaska
Highway, having covered
the 1,523 miles 1 most of it
still unpaved. One day
when the rains came the
windows became so mud
splattered it was im-
possible to see out and the
bus itself came to the end

of the day in a deplorable
condition. They toured as
far north as Fairbanks,
Alaska, a city of 45,000
with its 24 hours of
daylight. Whitehorse in
the Yukon was a good
sized town with many of
the Klondike Days at-
tractions, They found
Dawson -a neat frontier
town of 800 that still keeps
the dirt roads and
boardwalks. It despat-
ches its mail three times
a week.
A trip on the Yukon and
White Pass narrow gauge
railway started at
Skagway and took them
over mountains, around
mountains and through
mountain tunnels - with
much of the time on the
edge of a mountain
peering down.
The highlight of their
trip was the boat cruise
up the Inside Passage on
the Princess Patricia.
Leaving Vancouver, the
cruise took them up to
Glacier Bay where they
saw four centuries of
beautiful old glaciers,
whales playing about in
the icy water and seals
sitting on the ice floes.
A trip through the
Peace River Valley,
which they found par-
ticularly beautiful, ended
their tour before flying
home from Edmonton
and feeling their holiday
had been a worthwhile
learning experience in
Canadian history and
geography.

It's C.N.E. time again
and that means, among
other attractions, the
annual Queen of the Fairs
Pageant. This year it will
be held on August 16 and
Clinton's own Jan Divok

contestants - the best of
luck to her.

Safe boating
counts
Boating is an excellent
vacation sport. Whether
your boating is power,
sail, rowboat or canoe,
there are responsibilities
connected with the use of
any watercraft. Make
sure you thoroughly
understand how to
operate your boat or
paddle your canoe. The
Ontario Safety League
also says you should
know the rules of the
road, the load capacity of
your craft, the required
equipment you must
carry, boating courtesy,
all safety precautions and
how to give correct ar-
tificial respiration
quickly. -
+++
The Ontario Safety
League reminds you to let
someone know where you
are going, your intended
route, and when you will
be back, when taking a
boating trip. .
It was nearly a heartbreaker when Bob Harris' practically brand new 1953
Pontiac was smashed in a hit-and-run accident early last Thursday morning.
The car, in mint shape, was parked in front of the Cooke residence on Joseph
Street when hit, causing nearly a $1,000 in damages. A Clinton area man has
been charged. (News -Record photo) -

floor at the arena.' Representatives
from Goderich and Hullett Townships
were also in attendance with those
from Clinton. Mr. Falconer said he was
asked to canvass Tuckersmith for
funds but he refused to do this. He said
he had done it for the original building
fund. He said no exact figures were
given for the cost of the new flooring

but he heard a rumour it was about
$140,000.
Councillor Robert Fotheringham
said he was not willing either, "If that's
what they want to do in Clinton, let
them do it," he said. Councillor Robert
Drummond said he was not in favour of
actively canvassing in support of the

When you're heading
downtown to pick up a
bargain during Clinton's
Sidewalk Sale, don't
forget to stop in at the
Library Park on Thur-
sday. There you will find
the best buys in town!
Starting at 10 am today
in the Library Park, the
Clinton Public Library
will be holding its annual
sale of discarded books.
You will find all kinds of
treasures - books you
always wanted to read,
books you never heard
of., books in all sizes and
shapes, fiction, non-
fiction, science fiction,
children's books and
more! Hardback books
will be on sale for 25 cents
each, while children's
books will be available
for 10 cents. A variety of
paperbacks and
magazines will also be on
sale. In case of inclement
weather, the sale will be
held in the Children's
Room in the Library.
Everything is finally all
ready for our ;'Cool
Cooking" Contest. The
recipes have been en-
tered, our judges
prepared, and mothers
.warned that their kit-
chens will be invaded on
Saturday morning. All
contestants are reminded
to be at the library this
Saturday by 1 pm with
their prepared dishes so
that judging can begin
immediately.. I'm glad
I'm not going to be a
judge, as I know from
reading the recipes that
they all sound fantastic!
At 2:30 pm on Satur-
day, the younger children
will meet in the
Children's Room for their
regular story hour and
craft session.
We're asking all
children to mark
Saturday August 19 down
on their calendar, as I've
heard it rumored that it's
going to be a big day.
Seems to me it had
something to do with
costumes, a party and a
Hobo Parade. If I hear
any more I'll keep you
posted. So watch for
details next week
