He has stamped envelopes and sorted mail., since 1968. The post office employs one part-time and eight full-time workers. The newcomer is Debbie Wright of Sarnia who began work on May 7. The Clinton Post Office has, employed peo- ple since 1850, when it was situated in Tuckersmith: In those days when a letter or message was posted, a postmaster stamped or wrote "paid" in red ink on the face of the letter and collected the money.

Richard died around 1850, and Louisa carried on for a short tnrlie. The first post office in this area was on Huron Road,towards Holrnesville, in the home of Docor Coles. In 1860, another post office, on the block between King and Isaac streets, was -located in the home of J.H. Combe, a druggist. Later, in about 1866, Thomas Fair became the postmaster in a building constructed to the north of where the Clinton Hotel once stood on Victoria Street. On October 1, 1862, Mr. Fair had the Clin- ton New Era publish a "list of letters" ask- ing s,,. ^" 1- ses. Apparently, to have let- • oughout 4,.,anad.L. tors the paper was very in vogue. The 'ho sab llng u served .las office until the government erected a. . bricks bulidiyng in 1903. The new post o#Ice. was located on Victoria Street opposite the old Rattenbury Hall. The federal building on the corner of King and Wellington streets was -built in 1965 and the Clinton Post Office began operating there on 'January 31, 1966. The postmasters from 1853 to 1984 includ- ed: James Gordon, 1853 to 1856; Thomas Fair, January 1856 to March 1894; Robert Porter, November 1984 to July 1901; James Scott, March 1903 to March 1934; J. Pearson Cairns, November 1956 to December 1956; Arthur Ball, December 1956 to March 1971; R.J. Dixon May 1971 to January to 1984; and Keith Arhens, January 1984. Terry Crawford sincere about music By Janet Tench On May 9, the Elm Haven was moderately full. The audience did not appear disgruntl- ed about the one-hour wait for the woman they had come to see, but there was a feeling of, "she'd better be good" despite her Juno nominations in '81 and '82 for most promis- ing female vocalist. Terry Crawford, a short but fiesty little woman appeared unaware of these under- currents before her performance. However, her first song Break Down the Walls did do just what it says. Dressed in clinging black she fulfilled all expectations as the sexiest female rocker (voted this by Music Express readers) in Canada. The lead singer of the Teiry Crawford Band is not an ordinary lady. Not only does she sing but she plays the drums. When she does this she is as tantalizing as Pat Benetar. Her second song, In the Game indicated that she gradually could build fervor into her performance. Unfortunately her vocals were drowned out on this song, but this technical problem was corrected for Don't Tell Me as well as the big hits One Time for Old Times and Dreamer (from her first album) . Again, Terry showed that she was adept by playing the organ, giving her husband Rick, Jim Elder and Bryan Fedland guitar solos for You Can't Keep Saying. Then she went into some new material. Labour . of Love has male backing vocals that make it emphatically attractive, while Talk to Me sounds somewhat like Ruther- ford (Genesis) on guitar. Fhe Terry Crawford Band, although fixed with dates in Lethbridge, Calgary and Ed- monton are not a well-known band in this area.' ' Their equipment is no more im- pressive than weekend bands, but the polish here evident makes the difference. Not only is.Terry perfectly co-ordinated in her danc- ing, but she looks like she's having fun. This is important because an audience doesn't want to see a band that is bored with tour- ing. Most bands do find touring a real chore. Before finishing for her break Terry led the band into Running (Away From a Memory), School of Love, When You Know I'm Down and Have Some Fun Tonight. Then it was interview time. Terry Crawford is"a charming sincere persons eager to make her view clear. She is firm in her non-use of drugs; she doesn't even take vitamins on the road. Wistfully. she says she horseback rides in her free time but trying to break even in the industry doesn't allow much riding. The Terry Crawford Band has had three albums on RCA: The Terry Crawford Band, with the single Dreamer, Good Girl Gone Bad with Running and Getaway as the re- leases, and Virgin Heart with One Time for Old Times and I'm Sorry on the radio. They have performed in the United States and Canada, but haven't crossed the border since their debut LP. RCA didn't release their albums in the United States so the band is looking for a new label. In Canada they do four tours a year. Terry has been a guest twice on the Don Harron Show and twice on the Alan Thicke Show. . The songs, Terry said, are about love. Their music is influenced by the radio but Rick . ( who . does most of the song -writing) doesn't write music for radio play, Terry ex- plained, "It takes eight months'for a written song to be recorded and released. His songs are triggered by emotions and reactions." Originally from Winnipeg, Rick and Terry moved to Ontario in 1976. The band was formed in a Winnipeg highhschool in 1971 for fun and small cash. Over the years, Terry confided, there have been over 25 different people working with the band. For example guitarist Bryan Fedland, has only been with them for two or three months and one of the technicians was on his first night at the Elm Haven. Terry willingly admitted to road tensions. "We're in a truck two feet square with five people driving, sleeping or reading, trying to respect each other's privacy for periods of up to 44 hours". But when they aren't touring they rarely see each other. Jim Elder plays bass, Bryan Fedland and Rick ply guitar, John Hannah plays drums and all do backing vocals. Terry said that smaller crowds are nice for audience contact, "The performance tonight is very nice. Very good. Guess we'll have to come back. Of course a huge au- dience is great too." The band played at the CNE last summer supporting the Beach Boys. The experience was unnerving, but Terry noted, "It's good to get scared sometimes." On her musical tastes Terry said, `I like all the stuff. Eurythmics, Corey Hart, Duran Duran, Peter Gabriel,. Phil Collins and Boy George." Finally, when asked if she wanted anything to say to the readers Terry rhymed off the quotes that had been included on their albums. "Special thanks to proverbial obstacles for they make us strong. It's not if but when. Make up your own mind about music. Don't let the American culture • become yours support local bands, Cana, dian bands." On the music industry she exclaimed, "Tell them about Mick!" She was upset because ' Mick Fleetwood had declared bankruptcy. She • further admitted that her band is losing money. Thirty percent of their earnings go to their manager and agent and their expenses are $16,000 per annum for gas. "Nowadays bands are satelliting concerts because touring is so expensive. Also, it's getting harder because it's a job and a past - time," Terry said. Despite the rigors of the job, on stage the charisma is back, as Terry starts her se- cond set. John (Hannah) Jagger prepares to play some Stones tunes andonly in the 'shadows is there a hint of a lady wantingan easier life.
