"Clinton is bigger and more im- portant than expected," an Ot- tawa correspondent wrote recently. In his colUmn, 'Cross •Town", Austin 1'. Cross, reports on a tour of this area. Travelling north • from London on Highway 4, Mr. Cross noticed the well dressed farm people in their good cars who were attending the decoration service at St. James' Anglican Cemetery, near Clandeboye. Be found the cpuntry homes big and spacious and well, kept up, and decided that these farms are as fair as the Garden of the Lord. • •The uprto-date Centralia airport, with its sWirnming pools, handsome churches, deluxe recreation halls and,officers' messes leave ,the idea that the hardships of air force life must all be in historY. He noted •that Exeter was "worth seeing" and that -the "toWn exudes prosperity." • Mr. Cross found the Clinton air station equally impressive. He felt as he travelled north on the highway that, if appearances count for anything,. everyone is doing well. A success story un- folds with every mile, every farm yard, every attractive home. Cutting across from Clinton, Mr. Cross travelled over the Bluewater Highway which he described as . the proverbial tourist race tracic. 'Noticeable were the French names on the mail boxes in the St Joseph community. Down the . road near Zurich the names were presumably Swiss but actually German. He concluded his travel talk with: "I still say yoll can't heat Ontario."
