Reeve Elliott congratulated Mayor Holmes on his election by acclama- tion for the second time and also Mr. Liver- fnore, who succeeds him as reeve. A Good Training - The editor of this paper atended a township nomination meeting on Monday and listened to speeches by coun- cillors whom he had heard make their public debut three or four years ago. But what a difference. On the former occasion the best they could do was to make a few faltering works announcing their can- didacy. This week these same men stood up and discussed the township affairs with fluency and intelligence. The municipal council is surely a great training ground for men in public speaking and in developing qualities of leadership. Of Interest To You And Me - A Goderich minister forgot to have the collection taken at last Sunday evening's service. He had an- nounced the last hymn when the organist reminded him, when he remarked: "Well my forgetfulness should prove that the church is not always thinking of money." 75 years ago January 4, 1912 homes with the emphasi tural and sanitary conditi ing, insulation, heating systems. on faulty struc- ns and on plumb - and electrical 10 years ago January 6, 1977 New Election Called For Clinton Mayor - The new Clinton Council, at their inaugural meeting last Monday night, voted for a new election to fill the vacant mayor's chair. The chair was left vacant when mayor - elect Don Kay died suddenly on December 15, only 10 days after winning the December 6 election. Snow, Snow, And More Snow - Six Feet Already - The ferocity with which the year 1976 came to an end was perhaps a fitting tribute -to one of the bleakest years on record. The recorded snowfall in the Clinton area to the end of December is just over six feet at 74 inches and over double the norm of 32 inches for the same period. October brought 10 centimetres or approximately five inches of snow and indications of a long winter.

The election of Mr. Gibbings was generally ex- pected but although the odds were in his favor he didn't let up for a moment until the poll closed. He is certainly a persistent cam- paigner and having to fight so strenuously for the honor will appreciate it all the more. The News -Record is confident he will be one of the most progressive mayors Clinton has yet had. To those at all familiar with the well - organized opposition Mr. Cooper en- countered the wonder is he made so good a run. While to be sure the result must have been personally disappointing, It does not by any means imply that he will lose interest in municipal matters in which he has been so active and where he has rendered splendid service to the town. January 4, 1961 Mayor Echoes Action Of Citizen Asking Mail Delivery For Towns - This Week Maydr W.J. Miller, in his inaugural address to the council of the Town of Clinton suggested that the town petition the Government of Canada for free mail delivery to homes in Clinton and other towns in the Dominion. This Would give dwellers in town the same service as city dwellers and rural people. Mayor Miller also suggested that copies of this resolution be sent to other towns asking for their endorsement of the idea. "I think we're entitled to it," said Mayor Miller. More In Hospital Than Ever - 65 Patients - Yesterday the Clinton Public Hospital had more people as patients than ever before at one time.
