Rate Maintained (2..00D, OR BAD, depending on how one views the situation, the tax rate for Clinton in 1954 has been set 'at 74 mills: This 74 mill rate is bad, insofar as it means that local taxes will be as high as ever. There is no suggestion of a. cessation in the • tendency for higher rates either, since the coun- cillors sitting for nearly three hours over the budget figures on Monday evening were hard put to it -not to bring down a •budget calling for an even higher rate.; On the other hand, though, 74 mills looks pretty good.. At least it means that taxes this year will not be any higher than . we became accustomed to rather forcibly last year. It means also that the town governors' are not willing to, let the good of te town generally, suffer because of increased education costs, in- creased administration costs, increased wages, ate. They are prepared to do their best for the promotion of a better, ' progressive Clinton. Clinton is not in too bada situation, corn- paratively speaking. According to the latest figures available, those for the .calendar year 1952, the per capita debt in Clintonwas ap- proximately $270, This is in contrast with $87 in Wingbam; $173 in Seaforth and $230 in Gode- rich and $288 in Exeter. Therefore Clinton is . somewhere in the middle of the scale. But Clinton is the proud possessor of • a good many things that some of her neighbours lack. The sewage disposal unit is but one of these. Yes, we may quibble considerably about the high cost of living.' But it is not worse here the details- are just so very than elsewhere; much clearer to us in their existence because they are ours. If we want these continued ser- vicesof the government local or otherwise, then we must be willing to pay for them. Farmers Advised How to Obtain Help (London Free Press) FARMERS SEEKING , HELP should get their men in part at.Jeast from the current pool of unemployed in Canada. A "Government spokesman" is quoted as saying at Ottawa that the Government is convinced that • there are hundreds of unemployed workers who have had actual farming experience. It is estimated that there are . now between 280,000 and more than 500,000 out of work. Whether such a plan isfeasible remains to . be seen. The farmer faces a labor shortage brought about by immigrant farm labor "jump- ing" the job and moving into the cities for ,higher wages and urban living conditions. If this is so why would Canadian -born choose to return to the farm? What i •" OME few weeks .ago we took pleasure in publishing a, poetic bit about small boys, and now through the thoughtfulness of. a Clin- tonian who has a fairly new daughter, himself, we are equally pleased to present this compan- ion article.) ITTLE GIRLS are the nicest things that happen to people. They are born with a little bit of angel -shine about them. and though it wears thin sometimes, there is always enough left to lasso your heart -even when they are sitting in the mud, orcrying temperamental tears, or parading up the street in mother's best clothes.• A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth, she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot. Girls are available in five colors— black, white, red, yellow or brown, yet Mother Nature always manages to select your favorite color When you place your order. They disprove the law of supply and demand—there are millions of little girls, but each is as precious as rubies. God borrows from many creatures to make a little girl. He uses the song of a bird, the squeal of a pig, the stubbornness of a mule, the antics of a monkey, the spryness of a grass- hopper, the curiosity of a cat the speed of a gazelle, the slyness of a fox, the softness of a kitten, and to top it all off He adds the mysterious mind of a woman. A little girl likes new shoes, party dresses, small animals, first grade, noise makers, the girl next door, dolls, make-believe, dancing les- sons, ice cream, kitchens, coloring books, make- up, cans of water, going visiting, tea parties, and one boy. She doesn't care so much for visitors, boys in general, large dogs, hand -me - Possibly the Government senses this for it is also announced that Ottawa has taken meas- ures to assure farmers steadier help. There is to be a more careful selection of immigrants before acceptance for farm work in Canada. For example, potential farm workers must have worked three consecutive years ona farm in -their own land. Such a plan could quite well reduce im- migration. One thing is certain, indentured labor, forced to remain on the land, can never `prove satisfactory, Dissatisfied help is never good help. The remedy will probably lie in bettering working conditions on the farm, and -this includes wages, housing, hours worked and social amenities. - s a Girl? downs, straight chairs, .vegetables, , snow suits, or staying in the front yard. She is loudest when you are thinking, the prettiest when she , has provoked you, the busiest at bedtime, the quietest when you want . to show her off, and the most flirtatious when she absolutely' must not get the best of you again; Who else can cause you more grief, joy, irritation, satisfaction, embarrassment, and gen- uine delight than this combination of Eve, Sal- ome, and Florence Nightingale? She can muss up your home, your hair, and your dignity — spend your money, your time, and your temper — then just when your patience is ready. to crack, her sunshine peeks through and you've lost again. Yes, she is a nerve-racking nuisance, just a noisy bundle of mischief. But when your dreams tumble down and ,the world is a mess— when it seems, you are pretty much of a fool after all—she can make you a king when she climbs on your knee and whispers, "I love you : best of all!" Mill Rate Maintained THE FINANCE COMMI'1-.CaE of the council of the Town of Clinton' has decided on a 74 -:mill rate in our town this year. This main- tains the same rate established by the 1953 council. Due to increased education costs, two new debentures and increased operating costs, generally, it was felt, and -rightly that to sed' the rate any lower would result in a deficit. Clinton is not the only town feeling- the pinch of increased costs, and the Hanbver Post underlines a case of cause and effect. "Increased rents are anticipated here as a new high tax rate of 74 mills was struck at the last meeting of council, and quite- reason- ably so.". Quick Canadian Fact,., 1.
