[UGH OLD TIME - The Salvation Army
had a high old time both inside and im-
mediately outside the Clinton Town Hall,
Monday evening. A couple of youths were
placed bn the lock-up for assaulting the
soldiers 'with extra -mature eggs.
The reverberating sounds of Salvation Ar-
tily "music" was enough to make the
deceased much lauded warrior, Gen. Grant
turn over in his narrow chamber and re-
quest "that" noise to be stopped. But then
the General acknowledged that he was not a
judge in such matters. He knew two tunes,
one was "Yankee Doodle" and the other
wasn't. Dr. Johnson, the compiler of that
work of so many subjectswould probably
have been delighted could he have heard the
Clinton "army" music in "Fleet Street," as,
under very favorable conditions, he could
tell the difference between the sounds of a
hand organ and a church bell.
HULLETT BRIDGE - The officials of the
County Council have confirmed the awar-
ding of the tender for the iron
superstructure of the Londesboro bridge, to
the Messrs. Fisher of Kincardine. The stone
work of the piers is in a forward state, the
stone had to be brought from a quarry near
Brussels..
GODERICH TOWNSHIP - Mr. Wm. Hicks
attacked a youthful cucumber a couple of
weeks ago and has not yet completely
recovered from the effects of the doubling
up he received.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Middleton
was united in marriage to Francis Elliott,

Luella Middleton. The groom was attended
by Mr. Bert Middleton. The winsome little
flowergirl was Lois Middleton and Master
Joe Potter, nephew , of the groom was
ringbearer. Ushers were Douglas and Ross
Middleton, brothers of the bride.

MOTHER HEN - One of nature's rare oc-
curlences happened at the John Smith farm
on Concession 9, Goderich Township this
week when a bantam hen decided to adopt
five, week-old kittens and promptly sat on
them, keeping them warm while mother
cat, Fluffy, was away. The hen moves aside
when feeding time comes.
Be thankful for gifts
Dear Editor,
As Canadians • we are approaching the
celebration of a special day of Thanksgiving
to God for all His good gifts to us, both as a
nation and as individuals. •
Let us think of some gifts that we take for
granted - pure water, electricity, nourishing
food, health and care plans, recreational
areas, to name a few. The list can be
endless. Now turn our thoughts tot he
developing world and note the sad contrast.
What can be done to bring joy into the
lives of some of them? We are apt to say: "It
is the responsibility of governments and
world organizations". We could say: "What
can I do to help?" •
As individuals and as groups we can help
to restore sight to many of the world's ,
estimated 42 •million curable blind persons
through cataract surgery. Can you believe
that a $25 tax-deductible donation to the
Canadian charity, Operation Eyesight
Universal, will pay for cataract surgery,
drugs, hospitalization, special glasses and
follow-up care for one patient? For the price
of a hockey ticket or a special dinner, we
can give the precious gift of sight and a new
independent, useful life to a destitute blind
person who otherwise is doomed to
darkness. •
As a volunteer supporting the work of
Operation Eyesight Universal, I can assure
you that there is no more rewarding gift
than this. In its 22 years, sight has been
restored to over 600,000 blind persons of all
ages. Thousands more have been treated for
eyeailments and many thousands more
have been saved from blindness. OEU has
medical teams in 16 different countries.
To give someone the priceless gift of sight,
simply send a cheque or, money order to
Operation Eyesight Universal, P.O. Box 123,
Stn. "M", Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2H6. A
receipt" for income tax purposes will be
issued right away. You will receive, for
every $25 donation, a patient identification
card showing the name, age and sex of the
persons to whom you gave sight and new
life.
What a wonderful, joyous Thanksgiving
Day is ours when we can give this meagre
amount .that will accomplish so much.
Doris Kennedy,
Calgary, Alberta.
