THE ASSEMBLY - On Friday night last one of the most brilliant assemblies ever held in Clinton was given in the town hall. About three -hundred invitations were issued and amongst those present were guests from Seaforth, Mitchell, Wingham, Exeter, Blyth, Fergus and other places. Some of the gowns worn by the ladies were most charm- - ing but space forbids a description of these. The hall was very artistically decorated; the floor was in excellent condition and the music, furnished by the London orchestra, left nothing to be desired. The committee having the affair in hand spared no pains to nsure its success and it was declared byiiany to "be the most enjoyable entertain- ment of its kind given in town in recent nt of the ball are ears. All nto be congratulatedected with the upon its success. 50 years ago January 9, 1936 OLD MEM13,ERS ALL RETURNED - Clinton voters are rather conservative, they do not show any desire to make changes just for the sake of making changes, and on Monthe - day, while there was a choice for reeveship and nine aspirants for the council, the voters returned Geroge H. Elliott for reeve for the sixth term and returned every one of the old councillors who offered himself and filled the vacancy caused by the decision of Mr. Inkley to contest the reeveship, with a former councilor, Mr. O. L. Paisley, who dropped out last year, but who came back this year and headed the polls. IMPRESSIVE START - Once again the IP hockey season is away to a flying start, and prospects for another big season seem very bright. Clinton has two teams in the running this•year, The same team,that made, such.a name for itself last year is again entered. in Intermediate B, and great things are ex- pected of them this year. With the exception of a goaltender and one defence player the team is composed of the same players as last year, and "Mo" Elliott is again at the helm as manager. A Junior B team is also competing in OHA hockey this year and is entered in a group composed of seven teams in the surrounding district. This is the first time we have had organized Junior hockey here for some years and it is a wise move in view of future intermediate material. Manager Jack Nediger and Coach Doug Thorndyke have gotten together a fine bunch of prospects and we trust they will receive the support they deserve. A REGRETTABLE ACCIDENT - General regret is felt over the accident which befel the Rev. W. G. Sherman on Friday last, president of the 378 -member Clinton Hospital Auxiliary on Tuesday night, during the annual meeting of the ladies group. She succeeds Mrs. E.B. Menzies, who has been president for the customary two-year term. 10 years ago January 6, 1976 FIRST 1976 BABY ARRIVES - Dianne Elizabeth Ross, born at 3:40 a.m. January 1, was Clinton's New Year's Baby. The first child of •Jim and Betty Ross, RR 1 Brucefield, she arrived one hour and 17 minutes behind the first New Year's baby of Huron County, born in Wingham. As the first baby at Clinton Public Hospital in 1976, Dianne and her parents wilf be given numerous gifts from the local mer- chants. COUNCIL TO TRY AND FIX TOWN HALL - Clinton's old Town Hall will undergo some more restoration this year, budget permitting, town council decided last Mon- day night. They decided at their meeting to get estimates on• adding two washrooms to serve the meeting room, which is also used as a court room, and general meeting place for such groups as the Senior Citizens' Club. day night. "It's possible under the Police Act to set up the board," said Mayor Chester Ar- chibald, " and not, necessarily set up a coun- ty police force. But there are some impor- tant considerations to look at first." KEEP YOUR SNOW TO YOURSELF Although pushing the snow from your driveway out onto the road after the snowplow has filled in your drive may seem logical to some Clintonians, doing so in the future could cost you up to $300 in a court fine. That's the summary of a tough new bylaw passed Monday night by Clinton council to control residents from throwing snow onto the travelled portion of the road. COMMITTEES TO BE PAID - In a tense recorded vote, Clinton council reversed a decision last month, and will pay volunteers on some of the town's committees. Council voted 5-2 to pay Clinton's members of the fire area board $12 a meeting after a motion introduced by Depu- ty Reeve Frank Van Altena, who said the other members of the fire area board from the other townships are paid by their council and Clinton should too. A letter for teenagers... • from page 4 You know that I believe we have a moral responsibility to use our talents. And we all have talents. In using them, I think there is a recycling that is part of the balance of nature. I also think there is happiness. In not using them, there is boredom. And never, ever forget that boredom is not imposed on you by the world; it is a kind of rot that begins within. So, you are in school. That is a three way partnership - your parents, providing you with the opportuni- ty; yours school providing you, with' tradii tional educational:toolst, and you. • In that partnership, there is,a responsibili- ty placed on all the partners to hve up to their part of the bargain. Parents should make sure that you have security, a place to work, and the educational opportunities; the school should offer you challenge and infor- mation and direction; and you must work. You are dissatisfied with the present school system, and so am I. But you are get- ting; the best of it that is available, and its failure is no excuse for yours. Your presence in school is not enough to fulfill your part of the bargain. You must also work. You are, as I have said, in school for yourselves, not for me, so you must make that time productive. As I said in the beginning, you are not han- dicapped - not mentally, or physically, so I will not assume the responsibility of pro - CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8,1986 --Page 5 viding you with an education, if you will not assume the responsibility to do the best you . can. Your choice is a simple ope. You go to'school and perform, or you quit ° and get a job. I know that some of your friends have quit, and they spend the day at home in bed. That for anyone who is capable of pro- viding for themselves. That may seem hard to you: to me it is the statement of a loving o pparent, one who wants you to be equippedt survive. 1fyou choose to st4'yAn sehool, I, will also expect yoLl'to be•cheerful'hkiout it. I do not intend to be turned into a fishwife attempting to' get you up in the morning, nor will I assume the role of the whip -cracking mother, determined that yeu get marks. You are almost adults, and we will live together for only a little while longer. Let us spend the rest of our time together in a plea- sant atmosphere, dealing with our dif- ferences in a realistic and mature way. I have stated my expectations. You must now consider them, accept them, or reject them and replace them with goals of your own. Batget on with it.
