The triumphs of civilization are not far to
seek. Just think of it, a five hour,ride on a
cushioned seat and one is in Toronto from
Clinton. Not many years ago it would have
taken as many days as it does hours now.
Mr. T. Fear swept the board for fat geese
at the Christmas Fat Cattle and Poultry
Show in Goderich last week. He took first,
second and third in fat geese, a first and
third in fat ducks and a first and second in
chickens. John Govier took second and third
for turkeys and a first and second for table
butter.
The snow came down in the right amount
to make sleighing possible. Those who enjoy
the venture should be set for the winter.

The work has begun at the rink in
preparation of the season's skating.
Although a hockey team has not yet been
selected, the town should have a good lively
club as there are several good players in
town.
Although it is said that turkeys are going
to be scarce this Christmas, Thomas Mason
has been taking in plenty of live turkeys at
the building formerly occupied by Ford and
McLeod on Ontario Street. The biggest
turkey Mr. Mason received was from John
Ransford, a well known Tuckersmith
farmer.

An oyster supper was held prior to the
election of officers at the Junior Bible Class
of Knox United Church. The new president
is Bert Marsh and the secretary -treasurer is
John Moulden. There were about 40
members and their family present at the
supper.
Additional honors have "been bestowed
upon Huron County and the Town of Clinton
with the election of Alderman Edward L.
Bedard, formerly of Goderich Township, to
the mayor's chair in Sarnia.
The mayor -elect will be remembered to a
number of the oldtimers in this district as he
attended the Clinton High School some 30
years ago. Son of the late Alex Bedard, Ed
received his primary schooling in
Holmesville school. When he reached the
high school level he became well known for
his soccer abilities.
No telling what January of the next year
will bring, but three Huron County reeves
now sitting on council, will not be back next
year. They are Reeve McNab of Grey
Township, Reeve W.D. Saunders of Exeter
and Deputy Reeve Richard Johnston of
Ashfield.

Cookbook of stars helps Epilepsy
They may seem bigger than life. They
may have lifestyles that neither you or I
could imagine, but when it comes to eating,
the world's international celebrities are no
different than .you and I, they enjoy good
food.
What do the stars eat? A new cookbook
written and published by Epilepsy Ontario
features recipes from the world's favourite
performers.
Celebrity All -Occasion Cooking (Volume
11) was produced this year as a fund raising
project for Epilepsy Ontario. The organiza-
tion hopes that sales from the book will help
to rare $20,000 in midwestern Ontario alone.
Of the $14.95 retail price, $4.50 from every
book sold goes to Epilepsy Ontario's
regional office.
While Epilepsy Ontario may seem an
unlikely organization to produce cookbooks,
their efforts in Celebrity All -Occasion Cook-
ing are both professional and taste temp-
ting.
Recipes are easy to follow and cover a
range of selection from appetizers to
dessert, soup to suppers. The book is attrac-
tively designed and many of the recipes are
complemented by full colour photographs.
What makes this cookbook different from
all others are the glimpses of celebrity
tastes. Forty-five international celebrities
have donated their favourite recipes to the
cause. Some recipes . are extravagant
gourmet creations and others are

Celebrity All -Occasion Cooking Volume II
appears to have all the right ingredients to
make it a best seller. It should follow the
success of its predecessor. Volume I of All -
Occasion Cooking was a best seller for more
than three years.
Revenue generated from the sales of the
first cookbook helped to expand the service
of Epilepsy Ontario, particularly in promo-
tion and public relations.
Epilepsy may still be one of the most
misunderstood physical disorders, but
public perception is changing. Locally,
Huron County Chapter has been established,
with headquarters in Clinton. Workers here
are . selling the Celebrity All -Occasion
Cookbook to help promote their cause.
The book is availabale in two stores -
Everything Good in Clinton and Rieck's
Pharmacy in Goderich.
The second edition of this cookbook comes
available just in time for Christmas gift giv-
ing and it would make a delightful addition
to the kitchen of any chef.

"Everyone is concerned in town about the
doctor shortage and if. you leave the issue
with council, I'm sure they will come up
with some help," Mayor Harold Lobb told
members from a doctor shortage commit-
tee.
"We want to help anyway we can and I'm
proud that council indicated their support
here tonight. We'll be looking into every
avenue to see how we can give you support,"
Mayor Lobb promised.
No more overnight parking. Council will
order "No Parking" signs to be erected at
entrances to the Village of Bayfield. The
signs will prohibit parking on village streets
from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. in order to make it
possible to keep them plowed during the
winter months.
Clinton council has decided that their
share of the cost of a new swimming pool in
town will come off the tax bill. Wintario will
cover 25 per cent of the costs, donations
from the community will cover 25 per cent,
a Community Centres grant will cover 25
per cent and the town will pay the other 25
per cent.
