upport for the extension was received from
P Jack Riddell.
Pat Bowman and Jack Pal, representing
Wildwood subdivision and its neighbour to
the south, attended the session to find out
what government financial help was
available to pay part of the cost of installing
a continuous line of 11 or 12 groynes 100 feet
out and 200 feet apart along the shoreline.
They were told the township has no objec-
tion to the plan, but the ministry of natural
resources stipulates that the approval of ad-
' jacent property owners for 500 feet on each
side of a proposed groyne must be obtained
first.
Under the plan, some groynes would be on
- property lines, and the delegates were told
that in order to receive shoreline protection
loans, a groyne has to be registered to one
to be made

mised to find out what financial options are
availabl .

A Far Reaching Strike - The labor strike
in England is far reaching in its effects.
Even in Clinton is is felt for goods which
should arrive weekly for the Jackson Mfg.
Company are held upnecessitating the slow-
ing down somewhat of this important in-
dustry. People who cause strikes are as a
rule those who care little for the inconve-
nience, expense and very often suffering
which they thus bring upon entirely innocent
people.

CLINTON - Since 1985, the Clinton Arts
Committee (CAC) has been meeting to
organize and stage artistic and musical pro-
ductions for Clinton. Past efforts have in-
cluded Fall Arts Festivals, "Spring
Showers" and "Christmas Caper".
The C.A.C. was subcommittee of the
Recreation Committee until the fall of 1986
when a group was formed to operate under
the jurisdiction of the town council. The
members of the CAC are: chairlady, Judy
Stuart; vice chairman, Steve liver;
secretary Sandra Beisel; Reg Thompson,
Nancy Fisher-Vossen, Janice Rose, Susan
Hay, Bonnie Jewitt, Steve Campbell and
June Boussey.
The committee's purpose is to promote
the Arts and stage special events in Clin-
ton's newly renovated Town Hall. The man-
dates of the group include providing and
assisting programs encouraging the Arts
which will meet the needs and interests of
the community, including instruction and
performance, both amateur and
professional's
The focus of the group's efforts over the
last six months has been to provide Clinton
with its first ever subscription to a series of
three performances to be staged in the
auditorium of the Town Hall in 1986-'87.
In organizing the productions, the CAC
has tried to choose a variety of entertain-
ment which will suit the interests of the
community. The three performances are
November 22 Rabid Transit comedy
cabaret; February 27 - Seaforth Harmony
Kings and Harmony Hi-lites; April 4 - "The
Music Show" starring Ken Whitely.
The CAC will be distributing fliers by bulk
mail to all households in Clinton and
district. Watch for posters, TV and radio an-
nouncements. Tickets will be . available.
September 10 at the Town Hall and through
members of the CAC.
One problem that the CAC has had to deal
with in arranging performances is that
there is no stage lighting in the Town Hall
auditorium. Many of the professional
groups available to tour small communities
require stage lighting and certain sound
equipment. The 'CAC' have obtained
estimates on lighting equipment and in-
stallation charges. It is hoped that the Town
Hall could share portable equipment with
CHSS to save on expenses. A "Gala Even-
ing" featuring professional musicians,
ballerina Evelyn Hart and artist C.W. Ket-
tlewell is planned for November 2, to begin
fund raising (for stage lighting in the Town
Hall).
The CAC has no intention of trying to com-
pete with the renowned Blyth Festival, but
wishes to provide Clinton, with additional
choices .of entertainment in Clinton and
make use of the beautiful new facility.
In addition to the subscription series, an
amateur Theatre Group is being started by
Steve Oliver, head of the Drama Dept. at
CHSS. Anyone interested in participating in
Amateur Theatre Productions is encourag-
ed to contact either Steve Oliver or Steve
Campbell at the Rec. Office 482-3398.
Another exciting activity planned for the
fall, is a Talent Contest called Harvest of
Talent, being organized by Bonnie Jewitt.
There will be a Preliminary Competition on
Friday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Clin-
ton Town Hall and a Final Competition on
Friday October 24 at 7:30. The overall win-
ner in the competition will receive a prize of
$100.00 cash and the runner up will receive
$50.00. This event promises to be lotsof fun.
Anyone between 11 and 19 who is interested
in performing should contact Bonnie Jewitt
for further information or send entries to
Clinton Harvest of Talent, c/o Bonnie
Jewitt, Box 1116, Clinton, Ont.
