Quote for the week: "A.
certain friction between
`the generations is
inevitable. That's
because the young and
the old have all the an-
swers and those in-
between are stuck with
the questions." from
Changing Times.

One of Clinton's oldest
citizens, Norman Ball,
celebrated his 95th bir-
thday on September 25,
1979.
Born in Hallett
Township at Summerhill
in 1884, Mr. Ball now lives
at his own home on
Rattenbury Street West.
He has -resided there for
the past 31 years.
On September 25 Mr.
Ball held open house at
his home for his family,
friends and neighbors.
Several called during the
afternoon and again in
the evening to help this
wonderful gentleman
celebate the occasion.
Still enjoying good
health, Mr. Ball likes a
game of euchre and tends
to his small vegetable
and flower garden as a
pastime. He wishes to
thank his friends and
neighbors for the many
cards and presents given
to him on his special day.

An interesting article
came to our desk this
week courtesy of Dorothy
Mcueo 1 of Bayfield Who
received the same from
her sister Mrs, J. Tonna
of St. Thomas. It con-
cerns Mr. Brenton
Hellyar, a former
resident of Clinton,. who
was a teacher at No. 10
Goderich Township
School in the '30's; he
taught as well in the
Bayfield School.
Mr. Hellyar's father
operated a jewellery
store in Clinton near the
location of the present
Sears and Herman's
stores on Albert Street.
For the past 27 years
Brenton Hellyar has been
a resident of St." Thomas
and has been very active
in the Boy Scout
movement there. Now he
embarks on still more
adventures as he moves
to Comox, Vancouver
Island where he plans
extensive travelling on
the B.C. coast.

The death occurred last
Friday in Clinton of Miss
Beatrice Gibson of James
Street. Many in Clinton,
including her friends in
the James Street
Apartments and in the
Madeleine Lane
Auxiliary, of which she
was a faithful member,
will miss Bea.
Perhaps not too many
of her " fellow citizens
knew that Bea, for the
past 12 years,\ had been
composing poetry which,
from time to time, was;
read over the CBC
program, Fresh Air
hosted by Bill McNeil.and
Cy Strange on Sunday
mornings.
Ka5 and Frank Pyke of
RR , Clinton, longtime
friends of Mr. McNeil,
tell us that he thought
very highly of Bea and
her work. On "last Sun-
day's program, two of her
poems were read before
her passing was an-
•nounced.
Her work is a fine
legacy from a quiet and
thoughtful lady whom
many of us . were
privileged to know.

Your writer was in-
terested to learn, and I'm
sure many townspeople
will be too, that Clinton
now has a Beaver Colony.
No, not the four legged
type, but young am-
bitious, energetic five to
seven year old boys.
Beavers are the new
group in the Scouting
family - they come before
Cubs. The colony has just
been formed and there
will beregular bulletins
on their happenings and
progress in the News -
Record.

On Saturday morning the family
slept late except for Daniel who
woke at eight. He rolled on his side
and looked at his clock (beside his
bed was yesterday's sock). Yes, it
was eight and they slept 'til ten so
he'd, have to keep quiet up until
then. He listened hard for a
downstairs sound but no one was
• up, not a soul was around.
Wait, he stiffened, a creak on the
stair. Why did it do that if no one
was there? Someone was on it, a
robber or bear, something was on
it, and it gave him a scare. He
listened again - another loud creak
- his hands were sweating and his
knees felt weak. I'll save the house,
I'm very strong,. I'm just a kid, but
I'm Daniel Dong. I'll bravely
shout, "Get out of here! I'm Daniel
Dong and I have no fear. Get out of
here, you have no right to rob my
house when its dark and night."
The robber was tall and hooded
in black, in a long skinny hand he
held a sack, in the other hand he
carried a gun - when Daniel saw
that, the stairway spun. "Get out of
my. way, I'll shoot you dead, little
boys like you should stay in bed!"
Daniel saw that the man was
strong so back to the room ran D.
Dong.
He peeked through the keyhole in
the bedroom door and saw that the
man was stealing some more. He
had to think up a 'brilliant plan, a
trick to get rid of the robbing man.
Finally he had a plot that might
work and opened the door with a
fierce jerk: With hands on his hips
and head thrown back Dan stood in
front of the robber in black. "Hey
Robber, before you decide to Shoot,
wouldn't you like to see my loon
The robber's eyes glittered with
greed and Daniel knew he'd
planted a seed. The robber is ine
if all goeS well, f hav • control:, sun+
tell. "Where is this loot?" growled
the thug. "Right this way," said
Daniel quite smug. This plan will
work, this plan that's mine,
everything, so far, is going fine.
The robber is following me into
my room and soon he'll meet his
proper doom. Daniel sat down at
the head of his bed - "Where is this
loot?" the robber. said. And Daniel
replied with the grace of a king,
"There's jewels and rings, money
and things." The robber was hot
and steaming mad - he wanted
Dan's loot, and wanted it bad.
"Tell me fast you crummy kid,
you stupid silly squirming squid".
I've got - him under my thumb
thought Dan and now we'll see
who's more of a man. "It's in the
closet, at the very back, in a large
bag on the bottom rack," So into
the closet the robber went where
Daniel knew there wasn't a cent.
Oh good, oh good, he believed
what I said, quick, oh quick, get off
of the bed, shut the door, and shut it
fast, "I've got you, I've got you!"
yelled Dan at last. "I may be a
stupid and squirming squid, but
you went in where there's nothing
hid".
The robber hit the door with his
fist, "Let me out, you squid," he
snarled and hissed. He banged and
banged with all his might but
Daniel laughed at the robber's
fright. He.laughed and said, "Don't
bother to, fight and don't ever rob
this house atnight."
"Daniel Daniel, its time to get
up, hurry get dressed and feed your.
ptip. He's been on the stairs all
night long take care of your dog,
Daniel Dorig. I've knocked and.
knocked on your door for hours and*
now your dog Is eating the flowers.
Hurry get d essed and feed your
pup,- it's quairter past ten and time
to getup." I ,
