THURSDAY# QC;TQ !,R13, 1978 For anyone who hap- pened to watch the Ombudsman program last Sunday evening - I wonder if their reaction was at all like mine? Why, when the two brothers on a farm at Holstein, Ontario, had welcomed the Canada Geese for 45 years, were they suddenly forbidden to provide a sanctuary for them any longer by the Ministry of Natural Resources. It would appear that, like the old adage of not being able to see the wood for the trees, there must be someone who cannot see the geese for the feathers. ++ A three week trip to the United Kingdom and the continent ended Sunday for,, Mary and Percy Brown of RR 5, Clinton when they returned home. Five days in England started the holiday, then on to Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Swit- zerland and France. Highlight of the tour was an evening in Vienna spent at the opera wat- ching a presentation of "Arabella" from the front box seat overlooking the orchestra pit. The Browns happened to be in Rome on the day Pope John Paul the First died. The Italians were stunned and grief- stricken. While we read the reports in the press, Mary and Percy ex- perienced the feeling around them at first hand. While in Paris, Percy had his pocket picked no less than three times, but in each case was able to foil the would-be thief. +++ There will be a number of Clinton residents in- terested in the an- nouncement that the CBC (dial 740) is repeating the school car broadcast on the "Between Ourselves" program this coming Saturday, October 14 at 6:15 p.m. The Slornan family of Matilda Street were very much involved in this unique educational project as Mrs. Cela Sioman's husband the late Fred Sloman was a teacher of one of the school cars. Mr. Karl Schussler of the CBC staff spent many hours researching this project for the broadcast and hopefully there will be a book to follow. It is rarely that the CBC repeats one of its programs - so do not miss this repeat. +++ At this time of year when one canvass follows another, we all tend to resign ourselves with the thought: just another hand in the pocket deal. But there is another side to the coin you are giving.

In the Fall 1978 issue just received, there is a summary of 1978 Hunting Regulations which covers details on area, open season, daily limit and possession limit on pheasant, ruffled grouse, Hungarian partridge, fox, rabbits, and hares, squirrel and waterfowl. The list, too long to be itemized here, may be read at the News -Record office for anyone in- terested. Also, gleaning from the Huron Tract was a short summary on Point Farms Provincial Park noting that over 7,000 visitors attended the various recreation programs held in the sports field and the ac- tivity centre at Point Farms Park during the summer months of 1978. The programs, organized by the Visitor Services Staff, included such activities as campfire sing -songs, plays presented by local talent, slide presen- tations, hay rides, barn dances and a Variety of outdoor sporting events. As of the end of August, statistics showed that 172,530 persons visited Point Farms Provincial Park in 1978. The Madeleine Lane Auxiliary of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church met at the home of Mabel Harvey, Albert Street for its October meeting. Following a Thanksgiving Theme, readings were given by Dorothy Zeale, Elva Mutch, Lillian Cowan and Wynne Homuth. Margaret Farquhar presented a topic relative to the theme. In response to a request from the Canadian Bible Society, it was decided that the auxiliary would be a sponsor in the Bible A Month appeal. Plans were finalized for the Harvest Tea and Bazaar to be held in the church hall Saturday, October 28 at 2:30 (see advertisement in last week's and next week's paper.) Lunch was served by Mabel Harvey and Vera Morgan. There was more than enough to eat at the annual pork barbecue held last Wednesday at Ontario Street United Church. Nearly 750 came out to sample the annual supper. Here Mr. and Mrs. Jake DeRuyter and son fill up their plates. (News -Record photo) Court news Randy Buuck, Seaforth was fined $200 on Sep- tember 11 for a July 2 wilful damage charge. The incident occurred at Brownie's Drive In at Clinton when Buuck damaged a car owned by Joanne Ray, Toronto. Damage to the car was set at $50. On the October court docket for Clinton, John McMahon, Brian G. Hough, Robert Knights, Brian Wise, and Murray Sinnamon were all fined $54 in separate incidents of having liquor. Fines for speeding went to: Diane Garrett, $22; Kenneth S. Pollard, $43.50; Brian Hough, $33. David Colquhoun was fined $28 for a failure to yield charge, Kenneth Leibold was fined $78 for unnecessary noise and Nelson Peters, who faced a similar charge was fined $78 as well. A fine of $108 was ' given to Leo Spencer for failing to remain at the scene of an accident. The other weeklies Logan Township residents are not resting easily these days. The Mitchell Advocate reported recently that the area has been victimized for the past two months by burglars who operate during the day, usually entering households through an unlocked door. The thieves are mostly interested in cash, the Advocate noted, but they are also taking wallets containing credit cards and identification. The largest theft was that of a safe containing $15,000. Along with that, the St. Brigids Church Bulletin reported another theft of $1,500. The Blyth Standard said last week that the village is. increasing its insurance policy held with Frank Cowan Company. The Blyth council agreed to increase the municipal auto and non - owned auto liability from $500,000 to $1 million. Blyth firemen will have $5,000 coverage above what Workmen's Com- pensation would pay, in case of death. Council also reviewed buildings that are covered for fire in- surance and agreed to have the fire coverage of $10,500 on the agricultural ` shed tran- sferred to the Memorial Hall. It was agreed that it was unnecessary to have .insurance on ,a .rundown building that the council was trying to get rid of. The St. Marys Journal- Arugs reported that the local landfill sitehas been condemned by the Ministry of the Environment. The ministry made their decision after an investigation into the pbtential for pollution of ground water from the site was conducted. They recommended that the site be abandoned and another one found as soon as possible. The present site is located in a sand and gravel deposit which directly overlies the bedrock. In certain areas of the landfill, the deposits have been removed and garbage is in direct contact with the bedrock. 12 deaf children rescued What could have been a fatal accident was avoided on September 24 due to the quick actions of Cecil Scheruerman. The Blyth Standard reported that Mr. Scheruerman, a bus driver, pulled 12 deaf youngsters to safety after the bus they were driving in burst into flames. The accident occurred on Highway 4 just north of Belgrave. Mr. Scheruerman of Chatsworth was driving the children from Owen Sound to " the Robarts School for the Deaf in London when a bang came from the engine and then flames. The driver immediately N Library Newt For Kids by Marian Doucette removed the children through the emergency doors. The front section of the bus was destroyed in the fire. It is believed that a broken gas ' line ignited the engine. The children were immediately picked up by a second bus following the one driven by Mr. Scheruerman. AWN Let the band begin to play, the banners fly, and the parade commence, as "Mr. Friendly's Circus" is coming!

Mrs. Mann worked at Hullett Central last year. by Renee Lehnen Plowing Match Last week was the week of the plowing match. CPS was, given a day off which was Wednesday to go see this event. It was very ex- c,}ting. There was a parade everyday at 1 o'clock. There were lots of things in the parade such as oxen, a band, farm machinery, miniature colts, horses, and old fashioned . cars. There were even things there that people have never seen before. You could get free things there such as Pencas, pens, Yard StIOSAL. bags, etc. There was also a midway there for little and big people. There were also wagon rides over to where people plow. It was a wore thwhile day to get off school to see this, even though I got wet. by Kathy Ladd Traveller visits On Tuesday we were fortunate to have a man who has travelled across Canada and up into the far north, Mr. Vincent. We began an hour and fifteen minute trip from Newfoundland and its fishing villages and down to Nova Scotia where we spotted a potato farm and the city of Halifax as well as the Blue Nose Two. Next we took a look at New Brunswick and a few of its sights. After the visit in the Maritime provinces, we crossed the St. Lawrence River for a look at the French speaking province of Quebec. We saw an: artist drawing a gird We in one of the narrgw Streets of Quebec City, Then we travelle $oath ;*o Toronto - to Niagara Fall _ ext we saw the arliament buildings i 'Ottawa. We took a look at a tobacco farm and took a look at Sudbury's Big Niekle, After taking a look at a rushing river and some ancient rocks in Ontario's north, we skipped over to the Prairie Provinces. We took a look at the wheat fields waving in the wind and a very old Indian. After that we travelled even more westward to see the Rocky Mountains towering to the sky. We saw some giant Douglas Fir trees. Next we travelled up to the Yukon and the North- West Territories where an Eskimo village was spotted The slide presentation proved to be interesting and most educational. by Renee Lehnen BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY Clinton 'Electric White -Westinghouse • Appliances SALES & SERVICE APPLIANCE REPAIRS ELECTRICAL MAIN- TENANCE. 90 ALBERT ST. 482-3646 DIESEL Pumps and injectors Repaired For all Popular Makes Huron Fuel injection Equipment Bayfield Rd., Clinton 482-7971 APPLIANCE and REFRIGERATION REPAIR SERVICE Jim Broadfoot 482-7032 .Lloyd Garland FURNITURE REFINISHING AND UPHOLSTERY Corner 5th Avenue and Halifax St., Vanastra Phone 482-9576 HOUSEHOLD k -gide CARPET CLEANER The Clean -with -an -in truck steamer cleaner.
