The following is- !or

readers who fluty' not
have had: a trip back to
Clinton: for Seine time to
see the changes. Right
now there seems 'to be a
rash of constrttctien.
going on
Probably' the biggest
landmark change is the
forthcoming evacuation
of The Royal Bank' of
Canada from its old
domain on the main
corner to its brand new
building located on
Victoria Street between
Wesley -Willis United
Church and Charles'
Beauty Salon. The grand
opening is scheduled for
Thursday, September 25
-at--1-1-:•30---al-m-.---Ho waver-,
the staff will be open for
business in the new
premises. on Monday,
September 22 at 10 a.m.
Customers at the Sank -
of Montreal have had an
on-going look at the
complete up -dating of the
bank's interior. Every
day there has been a
• change and at yester-
day's visit to this
monetary emporium the
whole inside front had
been tranformed with the
array of teller's wickets
forming a graceful curve
around the main_ foyer.
More on these changes as
they progress-.
Right now construction
is going on - at Corrie's
Red and . White on Huron
Street and .at, ;lnzig's
IGA on .Mary treet -
additions are bei g made
to both buildings. The
house between the Red
and White and the Royal,.
Bank Building has been
dem olished to m ake room
for Corrie's expansion
and the old service
station on the corner of
Mary and King Streets
formerly occupied by
Clinton Auto Parts has
likewise disappeared to
allow for Kuenzig's IGA
addition. Clinton Auto
Parts are now occupying
the building on King
Street where Chuter
Plumbing was formerly
located.
Going up King Street
brings us to the really
sharp new store,
Norholme Decorating
Centre at the corner of
King and Wellington
streets, across from the
post office..Carrying all
varieties of fldor
Coverings etc, it Is owned
and operated by Doug
Nonan, MIS was for-
merly Peck's
Automotive.
Those are, just a few of
the recent changes
around Minton , maybe
we can give ou`out-off

Imaginative' glimpse of

Mrs. David, •Black (nee
Julie Hilderley),
daughter of 1VIr. and Mrs.
Earl' kiilderley, Mohawk
Crescent, graduated
from Fanshawe College,
London on June 21 in
Secretarial Arts. Mrs.
Brown has accepted a
position in London,
—Ontario.
The case of the
"•disappearing r redwood
-pot planted with
geraniums - makes a
good mystery ,perhaps, -
but the Clinton Hor-
ticultural Society are still
hoping that if anyone
knows of its whereabouts
they would return the
errant pot to the Town
Hall with a note to the
' Horticultural Society.

Flesh -Eating Plants.
Of all the members of the plant world, those that eat
flesh have a'ways been considered the most mysterious.
Their ability to attract and trap animals has been a
source of fascination for years. There are over 450
flesh -eating plants in the world. Despite vicious rumors,
not a single one of these 450, will devour a person.
The most common carnivorous plant is the Venus Fly
Trap which catches insects with its leaves. 'Although it
traps a wide variety of insects its main source of food is
ants, not flies.
Two leaves of a Venus Fly trap form a cup. Each side of
the cup has bristles. When an Insect, attracted by the
sweet smeU of the liquid inside the cup, lands on a leaf, it
cannot help but touch these bristles. The two sides of the
leaf snap shut and lock the insect inside the cup with no
means of escape. Once the trap is closed it fills up with
liquid and the insect drowns. The insect slowly gets
digested by the plant. When the plant has used as much of
the insect as it wants the trap opens and the insect's
skeleton -gets -swept -away -by -the -wind.
Most carnivorous plants live in bogs and marshes. The
• plants are becoming scarce as their natural homes are
bulldozed over for new housing developments. It is fun to
hunt for these fascinating plants and watch them eat, but
because they are becoming rare, it is better to leave them
where they are.
The flesh -eating plants easiest to grow are found at a
florists. These plants have been cultivated in nurseries so
if you buy them you will not be threatening theirwild
existence.
If you decide to raise carnivorous plants feeding them
will be simple. They should be happy with the insects
around your home. These plants can live without any
insects for quite awhile, but they will become weak and
unhealthy. A starving carnivorous plant will appreciate a
tiny piece of hamburger or cooked egg white dropped into
Its trap. They don't have to be fed very often — once
every six weeks should be enough. Besides eating meat,
carnivorous plants need plenty of sunshine, humidity,
and water.
Carnivorous plants are fun to grow and observe. They
are great to have around the house, especially if you are
sick of swatting mosquitoes. No matter how large these
plants get they won't eat you.

Summer tourists
hit Kincardine
KINCARDINE - Kin-
cardine has enjoyed a
slight boom in its tourism
industry this summer. -
The Old Boys and Old
Girls Reunion, held the
first weekend in August,
is responsible for much of
that boom.
Since the end of June
until recently, 2,692
people had passed
through Kincardine's
tourist information booth.
The majority of these
people came during the
reunion and for the two
weeks leading up to it and
one week following it.
It was estimated that
roughly 30 per cent of the ,
tourists visiting the in-
formation booth this
summer were American,
mostly from Michigan.

LUCAN Combine the
.setting of St. Patrick's
churchyard with about 20
CBC -TV technicians, plus
an actor who bears a
striking resemblance to
the infamous Will Don-
nelly and you have the
ingredients for a
potentially fascinating
hour of entertainment.
Recently producer -
director Robert Gibbons
and playwright -author
Ray Fazakas Were at the
graveyard .9f the church
south of Lueap' 'doing
some on -location sooting
of the documentary
drama, The Donnelly's of
Biddulph.
Mr. Fazakas, a
Hamilton area lawyer
who has spent much of his
life researching the mid-
1800's-fam ily, said this
production, which is
scheduled to be telecast
in February. This will
coincide with the 101st
anniversary of the raid
by Biddulph Township
vigilantes on the Don-
nelly farm.
The story will be as
accurate as possible and
will be brought to the
screen through a dialogue
between Will Donnelly
and Father Connolly,
portrayed by Sean
Sullivan, years af-
terwards and a series of
flashbacks. A total of 60
actors will be tpking part
in the production.
The churchyard is the
only location in the Lucan
area which is being used
because according to Mr.
Fazakas, "The church
and the graveyard are
the only -kings dere
which were present at the
time of the massacre."
Other location shooting
will take .place at Wen-
tworth and Black Creek
pioneer villages with the
burning of the Donnelly
home to be filmed in an
Oshawa studio.
Since the orginial
Donnelly tombstone is no
longer in place, due to
many acts of vandalism,
the CBC brought along
replicas of several
tombstones which could
be easily moved.
As part of his payment
on the production, Mr.
Fazakas will receive the
replicas .
It's a fact
The Cobait-60 treat-
ment for cancer was
made possible by the
inexpensive production,of
cobalt in Canada's first
pilot plant nuclear
reactor. The treatment
was tried for the first
time in two Canadian
hospitals in London. and
Saskatoon"in 1951.
