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.

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
Canadian Save the
Children Fund have used
the Valentine theme to
promote the idea of
children sharing their
love with other children
not quite as fortunate.

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.

Here's a word to' the
executives of the various
groups and organizations
in and around town. When
planning ahead for major
events in the coming
ixionths - why not call the
News -Record Office at
4821443 as soon as you
make the date. We will
enterit in our record book
along with the date. This
often eliminates the
overlapping of two events
- especially when the
largely crowded summer
and fall season comes
along with barbecues,
lunches, etc. Also a call to
the News -Record will let
anyone know if the date
contemplated has
already been booked.
