They discussed parties, the pro- per etiquette for being a host or hostess or a guest, problems and responses to invitations. Table Manners, cutlery and what utensils are used for what and when were also discussed. The Holmesville I "Classy Crowd" club, met on Mar. 3 at the Holmesville Hall. The group discussed a theme for the play for Achievement Night. Proper etiquette for eating fruits and spaghetti was then guessed at by everyone. The guesses were then cor- rected by the leader, Linda. Banquet meal etiquette as well as using the knife and fork properly were discussed. Have you ever been an MC at a dinner or banquet, or introduced a speaker? It's not • easy, but members all gave it a try anyway. Customs and habits in other parts of the world were also discussed.

Despite the pleas of two delegations from the Clinton area, it was clear from the outset that the board would not be swayed from its decision to skirt the request for a credit music program at Central Huron Secondary School, and to cut the machine shop course from the -eirriculum at the same school beginning in the fall of 1981. Plans Look Exciting -As the date for Clin- ton's first Klompen Feest celebrations near, plans are well underway and community support is growing. A general meeting of the Klompen Feest Committee was held at the Clinton Town Hall recently and over 50 people turned out.

"The closings of the hospitals in Huron is a slap in the face to rural Ontario," he said. "What We face now is setting rural Ontario buck 12 to 15 years. He explained that Huron was now forced to bear the brunt of the Health Minister's restraint program and the closing of the hospitals was drawing from the lifeblood of the communities. He also added there is evidence of poor planning and consideration should have been given to a centralized hospital in the county. Clinton Open If Hospitals Share Cut -Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller said Wednesday morning that he will not close the Clinton Public Hospital if the _ other hospitals in Huron agree to take budget cuts. Just before this paper went to press Wednesday, Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron - Middlesex, said that he had been talking to Mr. Miller Monday morning and Mr. Miller said he was flexible on the Clinton Hospital closing. "Mr. Miller said that if the five hospitals in Huron County could decide among themselves how to cut their budgets enough to total the $800,000 that would be saved by closing just Clinton, then Cinton would stay open," Mr. Riddell said.

Kingsbury, speaking Friday at the Huron County Seed Fair emphasized the need for greater production. "If you Can i> agine 8,000 countries the size of HurortCoun- ty," said he, "that is all of the land available to feed the people of the earth. Huron should produce enough to feed four billion people." • Reducing this to figures easier to handle, Mr. Kingsbury said that each 100 acres should produce enough fed for,125 people. "Within 50 years, each 100 acres will need to lofts twice that much and an increase in Pollination is coming and It will affect the entire world." Clinton Speakers Win At Zone Final -The finals .of .zone C1, in the Canadian Legion Public Speaking Contest were held in the Legion Hall, Saturday afternoon with three Clinton students emerging victorious. In the junior public school section a win- some little miss from. Kincardine, Patty Tucker, won first place with her talk on My Favorite Pet. the runner-up, Danny Perkins, A.V.M. Hugh Campbell Public School told about, A trip to Remember. Grace Marie McAdam, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell McAdam, Clinton, won ?top spot in the senior public school class. Her topic was The Canadian Flag?, a con- troversial subject of this era. 50 years ago March .5,1936 Mr. Sheppard Corrects Item -J.P. Shep- pard, who knew him well, called our atten- tion to some inaccuracies in an obituary notice copied last week from a Flint, (Mich.), paper of the late J. C. Cole, a former citizen. One was that he was not a citizen of Flint for 52 years, as he left here for Michigan in the fall of 1890.. Of this Mr. Sheppard was sure, as he was at the time secretary of the Canadian Order of For - resters, Clinton branch, and another had to be appointed to serve out about a month of his year. He had been in that position for nearly seven ifears. Another mistake was that he had not been in partnership with his brother, Peter, as this brother was a farmer all his life. But evidently his partner was a Peter Cole, probably a cousin, or a brother- in-law, as his wife's name was Cole. He had been a member of the Forresters for 53 years, having been initiated on February 15, 1883, and died February 15,1936. Little Locals -The police office had been newly decorated and presents a very nice appearance. 75 years ago March 2, 1911 Genial John Searlett -John Scarlett of Leadbury, known from one end of Huron to the other, has been very ill of late with much -dreaded pneumonia. He is now, however, much improved and is expected to rapidly recuperate. There are few men big- ger or broader in more ways than one than genial John Scarlett and that he may soon be quite well again is the wish of a host of friends which included the News -Record. A Jolly Little Party -On Thursday evening last a unique.4.ttle surprise was given Katie Scott, by a of her most intimate girl, friends in anticipation of her departure to New York where she intends training as a nurse. The little circle were invited to the home of Irene Jackson and when all had gathered the hostess called Miss Scott on the phone, asking her over on some pretext. On her arrival the girls tripped downstairs each attired in childish garb and with flowing locks and braids. After some music and a merry game, a number of dainty gifts, ar- ticles for personal use, and each represen- ting the loving thought of one of the girls, were in a very original way presented to the guest of the evening. More music and fun followed, then supper and the girls bade adieu to one of their number for a season. Miss Scott is a general favorite with her friends and her departure from town is much regretted. ...after many hours of labour no kidding - has arrived just in time for Spring break!!
