Unless a person happened
to read a Toronto paper last
Saturday one would not be
aware that Canada had lost a
second world war hero; Air
Commodore John Fauquier,
known as the "King of the
Pathfinders," died April 3,
1981 in Toronto. 'He was the
only Canadian to command
the Dambusters, the RAF's
famous 617 Squadron. 'A -C
Fauquier was buried
Tuesday with full military
honours.
It is great that the younger
generation know of Werner
Von Braun, the German
rocketry wizard who
developed the VI and V2
rockets during World War 2
and masterminded the
-American- space -shots but it --
is tragic they do not know
that A -C Fauquier led the
bombing of Peenemunde, the
rocket building site on the
Baltic. He set back Von
Braun and the German
rocket program by almost a
year - and the German
rocketry program never
really recovered.
In a society which more
and more chooses to ignore
its veterans - it is apalling
that the death of one of
Canada's heroes, (3 DSOs,
DFC, Croix de Guerre with
palm and member of the
Legion d'Honneur) who
never asked his men to do
anything he would not do
himself, was not worthy of
even a passing mention on
the National News. When we
learn to honour our war
heroes we might learn what
a Canadian is. John
Fauquier was a Canadian.
+++
However, the National
isn't all that bad - because
last Thursday evening many
Clintonians would recognize
the person of Charles
Chuck" Bartliff when he
appeared on the news in his
capacity as Vice President of
Domestic Money
Management for the Bank of
Montreal. Charles is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott
Bartliff; Whitehead—Street
and resides in Toronto with
his wife, Donna and three
daughters.

A PLACE FOR KIDS

It's Bike Time!
One of the best things about spring is hopping on a bike
and zooming around. Is your bike ready for that first
fantastic trip?
Here are some things you can check to make sure it is.
You might need some help fixing some of the problems.
Is the seat on tightly?
Is the chain oiled?
Does the bell work?
Does the reflector work?
Do the brakes work?
Do your tires need air?
Is the carrier on tightly?
After a long winter of trudging in the snow, it's easy to
forget all the things one should do to care for a bike. Here
are some ideas to refresh your memory:
Prevent rust by drying off your bike.
A bike thrown on the ground gets wrecked.
Bikes left in the street can get run over.
Storekeepers get mad if bikes are leaned against their
windows.
Do you remember your signals? Practise up. You'll need
them.
Some people like to have a shiny bike. If you want to wash
yours, use a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Keep the
soapy water away from all the parts that move, like the
"gears, brakes, chain, the middle of the wheels, and where
the handle bars and pedals attach to the bike frame.
Now that your bike and you are all ready for spring, hop
on, and have fun! -

Help Easter Seals
With only 11 days remain-
ing, the Lions Club of Clinton
Easter Seal appeal now
stands at $1,119.
Despite this, campaign
chairman Tony Van Zon is
still optimistic that the
club's objective of $1,600 can
still be reached.
"We can do it," he said, "if
all those who have overlook-
ed or misplaced their pink
donation return envelope
would mail their gift right
now."
"We ask only that each
area resident gives
whatever he or she can
spare," he added. "And if
anyone has lost the pink
envelope and doesn't know
where to send their donation,
the address is Easter Seal
Fund, Clinton Lions Club, P.
O. Box 580; Clinton, Ont.
NOM 9Z9.
Mr. Van Zon explained
that half of all funds raised
locally remain in the com-
munity for direct services to
physically handicapped
children. The remainder is
used by the Ontario Society
for Crippled Children to pro-
vide other province -wide
services to physically han-
dicapped children. The re-
mainder is used,' by the On-
tario Society for Crippled
Children to provide other
province -wide services nor-
mally beyond the scope of
any one community.
"The kids we are privileg-
ed to help have a tough fight
on their hands," sais Van
Zon. That's why we're ask-
ing everyone to help these
youngsters with a donation
to Easter Seals."
BEAVERS SCOUTS CUBS
Last Sunday the Aristocats went to Goderich and so did the
Beavers. Leaders tie Tac, Bubbles and chopper joined the
Beavers in an afternoon of entertainment and treats while
watching the latest Disney film. Special thanks to Bruce
Lyndon for helping to make our outing a success.
At the regular meeting, Bubble Gum Relay led by Chopper
got our meeting underway. Rusty read the final chapter of
Friends of the Forest than talked to the Beavers to give them
a better understanding of the final step from Beavers to
becoming a Cub. Lightning bolts were placed on the white
tails identifying them as the Beavers who will be swimming
up to Cubs in a special ceremony later in the year. Beavers
than settled into lodges to handcraft Beavers Bookmarks. An
active game of indoor baseball was enjoyed by all until Tic
Tac called Riverbanks and the closing ceremony.
Colony B: Walking backwards and dressed backwards, the
Beavers entered the pond for an hour of backward fun. Rusty
read the story of the Three Wolves and the loving Pig before
dividing the Beavers into lodges to make pig hand puppets.
Beavers than enjoyed a game of backward soccer and to add
to the confusion and fun, Hawkeye performed the opening
ceremony bringing the meeting to a close!
Cubs: "Gentlemen start your engines" yelled Akela and
thus began the second Kub Kar Rally. The Cub Pack from
Hensall came to. join in the fun and to, add to the competition.
Cars were each weighed before they were sent racing down
the ramps. Lucky winners were: first place, Tim Brock,
Hensall, second place from Clinton Matthew Butcher and
third place also from Clinton, Johnny Hoskin.
Commissioner Walter Thomas was also on hand for the fun
and for a special duty to perform. Barry Clogg, Scout leader
and assistant district commissioner for cubs was presented
with his 10 year service pin, 10 year medallion and also his 15
year service pin.
'Scouts: The Scouts combined a little learning with fun and
played games of Compass Rose Scramble and Compass
Bearing Roulette. It was a night for fun and the Scouts
continued the meeting with a game of basketball. Badges
awarded were: pet care, Michael Tait; collectors, David
Andrews; bronze physical fitness award. Bryan Thomas.
