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.''

Regulations m the Planning Act state that
a minimum of 30 days notice must be given
in announcing a public meeting. Therefore,
it was essential to include notification of the
project and the designated area in the
December 12 News -Record, with the first
Stanley man
elected warden
• from page 1
Township, the warden's township, brought
greetings and congratulated the new
warden and county council for electing
hii'ii. 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. I enjoyed the climb," he
said.
The last warden from Stanley Township
was Anson McKinley.
Warden Steckle and his wife Kathy have
two sons, Cameron and Bruce who both
live at the R.R. 2 Zurich farm. The
Steckles are members of the Zurich Men-
nonite Church.
A past chairman of both the health and
Hurpnview committees of county council,
Warden Steckle has served on county
council for eight years, four years as depu-
ty reeve and four years as reeve. He has
served on Stanley Township council since
1970.
He praised all three of his competitors
saying it had been a fair fight and all had
worked equally hard.
"I feel satisfied," he said.
Those voting for the new warden on the
final ballot were: J. R. Aitchison, J. F.
Austin, Tony Bedard, Tom Cronin, Lossy
Fuller, Dave Johnston, Russell Kernighan,
Joe 'Kerr, Calvin Krauter, Isadore
LaPorte, Bill Mickle, Paul Steckle, Ralph
Weber and Harry Worsell with two votes.
Those voting for Reeve Bell were: Leona
Armstrong, Reeve Bell, Ernest Brown,
Bill Campbell, Tom Cunninham, Bill
Elston, Marie Hicknell, Harry Klungel,

public meeting set for January 14.
"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.
