( Wendy Somerville photo) WI remember the late Dr. Shaw CLINTON - The regular monthly meeting of the Clinton Women's Institute met on Nov. 24 in the board room of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

They really know how to give the people what they want. While new wave bands, for example Duran Duran, Culture Club and Spandau Ballet, have the majority of radio time, the Kinks provide relief music with their soft, relaxing style. Sure, everyone can really get into New Music, but when one hears the Kinks, their music to suit one's in- ner state of peace. With Give the People What They Want, the Kinks found a new audience, the teens of the '80s. State of Confusion strengthens the faith of the new fans, and appeals to the old RG PDA EST. 1973 GOLDSMITH SILVERSMITH Jewellery Designer, Repairs - also Ceramics, Weaving, Wood, Art, Glass CANADIAN AWARD WINNING DESIGNER 524-4509 58 WEST ST., GODERICH, ONTARIO fans in two ways. First, the music of the Kinks is changing, for the better. Instead of the hard rock of their hits like "You Really Got Me" (no, Van Haien did not write it although they recorded it(, the Kinks have turned to songs with an eerie touch - "Cliches of the World" (B movie), and "Destroyer" (from GPWTW). Secondly, the lyrics deal with old age, which many of the old Kinks fans will soon be concerned with. State of Confusion has been criticized as a biographical disc on Ray Davies. Not so! This current Kinks album is Ray's ( Ray does the song -writing) way of showing how he feels upon reaching his mid 40s. With a little something for everyone, State of Confusion will be one of the most popular Kinks albums in their history of 61 albums. More popular than ever, the Kinks will kin- tinue ! Rating: 912/10. N.B. If you want up-to-date information on the Kinks, write Kurrent Kronikle, Suite 950, 433 N. Camden Dr., Beverly Hills, CA90210.
