Clinton News-Record, 1978-10-19, Page 2?AGE 2--CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1978 This is Tuesday night and watching T.V. and writing Town Talk is somewhat less than a good combination. But, just this once, I must keep one eye on the boob tube. The baseball season can come and go and its TV coverage never in- terests me - but World Series fever always gets me. Being an avid Dodger fan, I am, at this moment, being tortured as the Yankees lead 3-1 in the second inning. I'll add a postscript tomorrow morning. So enough of the gib- berish and on with the column. + ++ Percy and Jean Livermore spent a few days last week in Ingersoll with Betty, Bill and Christopher Stear- man getting acquainted with their new grand- daughter. Katharine Anne Stearman born October 1. + ++ Mr. and Mrs. James Sturgeon, Princess Street West, had a happy time this week when, after 32 years, they were reunited with Mrs. Sturgeon's sister and niece here for a two week holiday from England. This was a special occasion as it occurred on Thanksgiving weekend.

Extending hospitality to Mrs. Sturgeon's sister and niece were Mr. and Mrs. Ed Florian of Clinton, Mrs. Berthena Hammond of Bayfield and Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCool of Londesboro. The visitors were very impressed with the friendliness of the Clinton people and also with the beauty of the scenery and colours of the trees. +-1-+ Henry and Edna Young, North Street, spent the weekend in Detroit attending the greater Detroit Gem and Mineral Show sponsored by the Michigan Mineralogical Society.

(photo by Mary Chessell) Avoid hunting accidents, OPP warn Once again the hunting season is here. The Ontario Provincial Police Force reminds you that there are several 'basic gun -handling rules. Hunting accidents claim about 125 lives each year, usually because the most simple rules have been broken. What can you do? Never consume alcohol before or during a hunt. Know the identifying features of the game you intend to hunt. Never shoot in the direction of buildings or livestock. You cannot depend on the 'common sense of the hunter beside you --wear bright orange. The handling of firearms requires great care. Always handle a gun as if it were loaded. Never climb a tree or fence with a loaded firearm. Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle. Unattended firearms should always be unloaded. Few hunting deaths are Rec, committee looking into pool alternatives by Shelley McPhee With a canvass already going to try to install the new arena floor, and estimates received for the proposed. new pool at a high price, the Clinton rec.committee may be forced to find a suitable alternative to constructing a new pool facility. One suggestion was discussed at the rec committee's meeting last Thursday night when a letter was read from Dianne Durnin, recreation co-ordinator at the Vanastra Recreation Centre. She suggested that rather than building a new pool, Clinton support the existing Vanastra indoor pool. She listed a number of advantages to using the Vanastra pool including: only three miles from Clinton; ,fits year round use with an air temperature of 80-85 degrees F. and a pool temperature of 85 degrees F.; they have qualified, local instructors; implement the Red Cross system of awards, Red Cross courses, leaders courses, bronze medal classes, adult and synchronized swimming classes; the rec centre also has a sauna, an equipped gymnasium, a canteen and a hall. The letter suggests that it would only cost the child their swimming fees and transportation costs to take lessons at Vanastra. It went on, that Clinton is not only faced with building a new pool but also must deal with bad weather, trying to hire summer help, maintenance dif- ficulties and wage costs. "With the price of pools it might be worthwhile," Dean Reid suggested. " Ron McKay added, "This makes a lot of sense. The busing is okay for lessons but what if the kids want to go swim- ming on an afternoon. I don't want my kids biking out there.. Would it be cheaper to buy a bus and offer half- hour service?" "To drive three miles in the city takes 15 minutes, but you could get to Vanastra in five minutes.," Reid noted. Reid emphasized the fact that he liked to see Clinton have their own pool as much as anyone else but added, "Every community can't have every facility. It's too expensive." He went on, "Everyone's putting pools in their back yards now. In a few years we may have an expensive pool with no one using it." ,Reid, who is in charge of the pool project intends getting some more estimates on the cost of a new pool and the costs to repair the existing struc- ture. Those prices will be compared to the cost of a bus, other vehicle to transport swimmers to Vanastra. Block parents.... • from page 1 available.
