Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1979-02-15, Page 2PAGE 2 —THE CLINTO EWS-RECORD;\THURSDAY. FEBR .IARY 15, 1979 No self-respecting duck would be outdone by a few heifers. If the latter could stroll down the streets of Clinton - then, by quacky, so could he. Mind you, it was pretty uncomfortable dodging cars and trucks on Albert Street at nine Tuesday morning. A call to the police office from the News - Record brought a no lesser duck -catcher than the Chief himself. However, as the firm arm of the law was about to arrest him, our friend was up and away with a flick of his tail feathers, only to alight on Rat- tenbury St. West. But his new found freedom was short lived as Chief Westlake executed a neat one -and -a half -forward over a snow bank and from there it was a short trip into the cruiser for the escapee. Moral: Better to be a live quacker than a dead duck. + + + Erma and Hal Hartley have returned from a week's trip to Port of Spain, Trinidad and to the Island of Tobago. While there they had a visit with Dr. and Mrs. Jack Gorwill of Seaforth, who are winter residents of Tobago. Tie Hartleys tell us that several people ask if they still have "Robbie" the robin. The answer is "yes" and he will be eight years old in June. -I- ++ When visiting at the Clinton hospital, one - cannot help but admire the "Candy Stripers" - the young high school girls who' do volunteer work at the hospital. Right now there is a need for more girls who live in town to volunteer. winter weather sometimes makes it difficult for the out-of-town girls to report in. If there are any in -town.. girls 14 years and up who are interested, they can report to the Guidance Office at CHSS or contact Mrs. Barb Hicks, the co- ordinator of ' the Candy Stripers at 482-9572. +++ "The Year of the Child" is fast becoming a household phrase.

The proceeds of the many red hearts goes towds the work among the underprivileged children of • Korea, Kenya and India. + + + In last week's Town Talk there was a mistake, and I cannot blame it on anybody but myself. In telling of the passing of "Joe", the Pullen's well - ,known saddle horse, I gave his age as, being born in 1971. "Joe" was born in 1951 and would have been 28 years old this April. + ++ Although last Thur- sday, February 8 started off stormy and very cold and there were many cancellations of functions for that evening - the Rebekahs and Oddfellows held their card party anyway.
