There was once a time when in any 'con - .town. With only one week of their new-found plan in operation, however, the results are plain: the general public is attracted by the thought of a growing treasure chest, in which they may versation where something was planned, could have a part. -Always people have been thrilled be heard the "exclamation:' "Oh, there's no use by the story of buried treasure, and now the talking to that group. They won't do anything people who shop in Clinton have been -given 'to help." Now this attitude is changing fast, In fact, it already has changed. The beginning has been, we think, with the service clubs. These groups of men are banded together individually for the purpose of serving the people of the town. In many cases their jobs overlap. There has always been a tendency to join together in accomplishing the big jobs effort in this regard will do more good than a together. This tendency is one which should dozen little' groups trying to get something be developed and emphasized. appreciable done. Now, too, the merchants: have banded them- Clinton is growing' up. , This business of selves into a group which is devoted to the uniting for a project is a certain sign of her project of attracting more and more people to maturity. a way in which to participate in the search themselves, ' More recently still, the various clubs and service organizations in town have decided to combine forces to provide Christmas decorations in town, and an adequate pre -Christmas cele- bration of some sort to benefit the people of this area. This is very commendable. A united SURELY NO ONE can grumble about- the weather brought us so far. Though summer was hot enough it brought back memories of those long, long holidays, between school terms when bare feet on the soft road dust, or scampering over shiny brittle - brown grass, or paddling in a lazy midsummer stream were pleasures indeed. For some reason the bad weather in our youth seems very infrequent. Perhaps this is because we spent that time indoors, building WONDERFUL YEAR voice asincere which 1955 has up memories of family fun rather than of nature's wonders. Anyway most of our young- er years seem to have been spent in golden sunshine. This summer and fall has been like that, too. Hardly a week has gone by without warm days when a sweater becomes more of a nuis- ance than a necessity, And have you ever seen a more colorful 'autumn? The maples have really outdone any of their past performances. NOT THE ONLY ONE meantime Clinton has found it necessary and quite sensible to leave their force at the present three man strength -as it has been since 1953. Prevention of crime and law violations can best be accomplished by a reasonably strong police force. Prevention after all is much cheap- er in the long run than conviction of an offence. It is regreted that the upheaval in police affairs here earlier this year, hinged -officially at least -upon a policy of reduction in man power. This was misleading to the general public. However. "the past is dead" and it be- lieves us all in the future to see a situation as,it truly is and not find causes for action in the •wrong places. ' WE REMARKED to the chief of police the other day that there seemed rather a scarcity of even petty crime in our town: lately any this, was his reply, "Well, that's why you have a police force, isn't it?" And certainly that is the reason. Recalling earlier this year when all talk was of reducing the police force here, we remember that Clinton's stand in this regard was strengthened by the position taken at that time by the Provincial force. Remember the talk of reducing numbers and cutting down on the motorized section of the OPP? Now this situation in Ontario's policing has been changed -and we read recently of 117 more men being added to the force.

' Each of the other mediums performs an 'important -function, butin the areas of our country that are served by printed media, it is the newspapers on which people must. depend for the main source of their inforrnation. When it comes to meeting the needs of the small town and rural populace, the weekly news- paper is . in a class by itself. Not even the dailies 'can honestly claim to have' the accept- ance and cceptance.and readership enjoyed by a weekly news- paper in its own community. A Toronto daily in an editorial commented on the weekly newspapers as being for the most part well edited and covering their field with a thoroughness 'which a metropolitan daily cannot hope to achieve," Does the weekly newspaper hold the inter- est, of th‘farmers? Does it have any special appeal, foinhim? Consider what are the import- ant things in the life of a farmer and his family. The success of their farm upon which their .. livelihood depends, news of their neighbours and the day-to-day happenings in the district, what the county„ council is doing, who was present at the church social, what "bargains are being offered in town, what the local member of parliament has to say. The weekly newspaper consistently carries such material. The local agricultural' represen- tatives contribute timely' articles 'on matters having .a direct connection with local problems. The advertising and the news in the weekly ;paper, tells the farm folkwhat they want to know about the part of the world that interests them. . Caution (Winghaie Advance -Times) UNFORTUNATELY the social 'services of which we are so proud are nails in the coffin of our freedom., For with every handout that the Government makes, it takes a bit of our freedom tomake the handout possible. Wise as some of these measures may be, each one narrows to :scene extent the opportunities to make our own decisions. We may not like the kind of socialism they have in Russia. But with the governments We now have making more and more decisions for us, we seem to be getting our own brand right here in Canada.
