At this time of year
when Canadians as a
whole get caught up In the
"Jingle -Belling Ho-Ho-
Hoing" of the ap-
proaching festive season,
it ' might be worth a
moment of sober
reflection to contemplate
what Christmas will be
like for the next of kin,
relatives and friends of
the 914 members of the
People's Temple cult who
went like sheep to the
slaughter in Jonestown,
Guyana.
In a day and age when
most of us believe that
religious persecution
belongs back with the
Spanish Inquisition and
other unbelievable acts
committed in the name of
the Almighty - it is hard
to reconcile such
wholesale destruction of
human life in a western
hemisphere where the
spirit of Christmas is
essentially "Peace on
earth, good will to man."

"It's not how old you
are, but how you are old."
So said the late actress,
Marie Dressler. And
that's a way of saluting
those of our citizens who
are over the 90 mark.
This past Monday, --flew
November 27, 1978 Mrs.
Vince Bartliff of Huron
Street celebrated her 97th
birthday. Her normally
quiet day was punctuated
with the visits of many
well wishers - family,
neighbours and friends
dropping in to honour the
occasion.
Perhaps this would be a
good time to start a salute
to the 90'ers. We know
there must be a number
of our townspeople in and
around Clinton who will
be having birthdays in
the 90's bracket. If their
families or friends would
let us know we would be
delighted to make ap-
propriate mention. It is
both an honour and a
privilege to belong to this
select few.

All who purchase a
News -Record this week
or receive it by sub-
scription will find a
Gourmet Cookbook. We
did request recipes from
our readers to put in this
and mentioned a
publication date 'of early
December. However, we
have jumped the gun a
little bit. Consequently,
some of you who were
good enough to mail in
your recipes will not find
them in the cookbook.
But, in the December
editions we will print
those which reached us
late. I've read them all
and they all look good!

Maclean's won't reprint story
MacLean's Magazine's
managing editor, Kevin
Doyle has turned down a
request from Exeter
Mayor Bruce Shaw
asking that an article on
Huron County's con-
troversial book ban be
reprinted in the magazine
which circulates in this
area.
The Exeter Times -
Advocate explained that
the story appeared only
in the Toronto issues and
referred to the county
board of education's
decision to remove
Marg'aitet Laurence's
novel, The Diviners from
high school English
courses. The book was
considered to contain
obscene language.
Mr. Doyle said that he
didn't think the article
was worth reprinting and
had no intention of asking
people in Toronto to read
it again. However, the
publishing firm did say
that they would send
copies of the October 2
Toronto edition to any
subscriber in Huron who
requested it.

followed in the Mennonite
Cemetery.
The pallbearers were
Bill Steckle, Jack
Gingerich, Peter Steckle,
Robert Johnston, Lewis
Erb, Bill McClinchey.
The flower bearers were
Keith Gingerich and
Kenneth Gingerich.
Mr. Shaw, who is also
the principal at Seaforth
High School and a former
English department
head, said that he ,has
received dozens of calls
from people who support
his contention that
MacLean's magazine
erred in not printing a
story on censorship in the
October 2 issue circulated
in Huron. He said that
most of the callers felt
that they should have
been given the op-
portunity to read what
MacLean's article said
about them.
The Times -Advocate
went on to say that as a
result of the issue,
Goderich Councillor Elsa
Haydon said she hopes to
form a Huron County
chapter of the Intellec-
tual Freedom Com-
mittee, an affiliate of the
Ontario Libraries
Association, to fight the
banning of other books.
