(James Friel photo) Christmas is always special CLINTON - In 1934, most people were getting married "on a Saturday in June," said Clarence Perdue of Gordon Steet in Clinton, but he and his wife Jean broke with• that custom and set their wedding date for the special day of Dec. 24. "At the time we thought it would be nice to get married on Christmas eve," said Mr. Perdue of their choice of a wedding date. It has been almost 50 years since that day, now special for them and their family for two reasons. The Perdue's and their family and friends celebrated the couple's 50th wedding anniversary on Dec. 9 at their home in Clinton. About 60 people visited the Perdue's to give their best wishes. "We couldn't have had it on the same day (Dec. 24) because we couldn't get everyone together on that day," said Mrs. Perdue. The couple received very special gifts from their family. Both were given rings with birthstones set in them from their three children and they also received a beautiful clock with the names of their six grandchildren engraved on it. The Perdue's have lived in Clinton for 21 years and before that, on the 10th 'concession in Goderich Township. Mr. Perdue was a police officer with the Clinton force for 20 years. He noted that it was "not too bad 20 years ago, but it's pretty rough now.''

Similar greetings were also brought by Goderich Mayor Eileen Palmer and Huron County Board of Education Chair- man Eugene Frayne. "If you don't have contests, you have problems," the school board chairman said of the election for warden. MP Murray Cardiff was unable to attend as he was fog bound at the Ottawa Airport. The new warden's immediate reaction after his election was one of satisfaction. "Someone once said that there is no point in reaching a peak unless you en- joyed the climb.

"Representation from various committees should be encouraged to attend the public meeting and take part in the discussions. Their input is vital to thw formulation -of a proper improvement plan, Mr. Ross noted. Clinton's ONIP funding amounts, to $175,000. Clinton must equally match the funding, but other provincial grants or funding cannot be used for this purpose. The municipality may, however, raise its share from other local sources Mr. Ross suggested, "Some such sources might include the service clubs on the development of parks, the PUC funding of capital costs of watermain construction." He further warned, "Any shortfall must presupnably be raised by the town from reserves, from the general levy, or from reassignment of capital funds previously designated for other work." Clinton Council is facing a busy January and February. Mr. Ross summarized, "It is most important that no time is lost at the very beginning." He anticipates that the plan should be submitted to the ministry by the end of March.
