In Clinton
Library goes toyland
By Shelley McPhee
Christmas 1981 has started early in
Clinton and plans are underway to turn the
dark and dusty upstairs room at the public
library into an active toyland.
At their March 16 meeting, Clinton
council gave approval to two Clinton
merchants John Balfour and Sheila
Murray to establish a toy repair shop in
the unused portion of the Clinton library.
Mrs. Murray and Mr. Balfour are
spearheading a group that will repair old
toys to give to children in the Clinton area
at Christmas.
Similar projects were carried out by the
Kinnette and Kinsmen Clubs several years
ago and Mrs. Murray and Mr. Balfour will
be looking for support from the area's
service clubs and organizations as well as
volunteer help to repair the toys.
The committee will be setting up shop in
the library from mid-September to
December, and while the upstairs room is
well lit, the group will be required to heat it
and pay for the utility bills.
"I would hate to see the electricity
become a personal expense for them."
Councillor Ron McKay said and noted that
if the group does not receive financial
backing from some service club, then
perhaps council could look at assisting
them.
Councillor Wayne Lester was pleased to
see the library's second floor in use and
noted, "It's a good arca and it's un-
fortunate that its not used year round."
Also at their meeting, council studied
several recommendations from the
planning board and agreed to the ap-
pointment of Ron Jewitt to the board for
the next three years.
Council also approved a $1.10 raise for
the board's part-time secretary, bringing
her hourly salary up to $7.10. The council
also agreed with the recommendation to
pay her an additional $50 a year for the use
of her typewriter.
Council members agreed to hire a
student through the government's summer
employment program to work with the
board on the official plan for Clinton.
In the program, the government pays a
large protion of the student's weekly
wages, up to 75 per cent for a maximum of
$135, for a minimum of 10 weeks and not
more than 18 weeks. The planning board
has been using this program for the past
three years.
On a suggestion from Clerk Cam
Proctor, council decided to apply for a
second student under the program to work
in the municipal office, summarizing
important motions council has passed.
Clerk Proctor explained that this work is
being done in many other municipalities.
Another recommendation, to pay board
members $20 a meeting to a maximum 12
meetings a year, was tabled by council for
further discussion at a future meeting.
