STILL NO REGULATION LAST WEEK . a citizen of Clinton was forced to appeal through the Court of -Recision, to have has assessment reviewed and lowered due to causes beyond his control. He owns a small house, set a reasonable distance back from the sidewalk. His neighbour decided to build a tool shed. He built it one foot inside his cwt_ lot line, as is proper ac- cording to town stipulation, and he built it back from the sidewalk far enough that it is in line with his own house and ,that of the protesting citizen. However, the tool shed is a forbidding type of structure, with noo windows on the side facing the small house, and the chap who owns the house has to spend his r indoor time with no better view than the blank wall. Not only does the shed obstruct what was once quite a pleas- ing view down the street, but noises of hammer- ing and power tools can be heard inside the house. It is• a bad situation. Many of the citizens of Clinton have fine homes, . with fine views. In fact' many homes in Clinton have been built in a particular shape, with windows in certain locations purely to take advantage of a view which now exists. There is no protection whatsoever for them that these views will remain, There is nothing whatever in Clinton's by- laws which will enable Council to forbid the erection of a barn, ' heavy tools construction building, noisy factory, or anything else of a distasteful nature,•in.any part of the town. The only control which exists, and we are dubious of its actual benefit, is a limitation on the num- ber of garages in town This gives Council an opportunity to forbid the erection of one of these buildings, it they do not consider it a likely location. But the fact of the matter is this. If the. citizens of Clinton desire protection of their present residential areas then they should be ever -active in pressing for an active town plan- ning board. Such a board is in existence, but it has had no encouragement, nor leadership for more than six months. The protection to Clinton citizens which can be had by means of careful planning of neces- sary areas it an essential thing for the future of our town.

It seems that someone, went rooting around in actual history and found that the tale was not completely fact.

THE BIBLE •:TODAY ion History is repeating itself right notR-. Recently a Hausa native in Northern Nigeria walked seven miles to a Sudan Interior. Mission book shop to get a Bible. As not one was available there he went: another seven miles to Kagoro to find the same acute shortage.. With determined expectancy he travelled another mile to where a Bible Society Colporteur lived. After his .15 mile jaunt he found the supply exhausted there also. In his disappointment he could not believe that 10,000 ' Hausa Bibles were at the time enroute by boat to Nigeria from Bible House in London. The fact is this quantity would be far short of meeting the need even when they arrived. One hundred and fifty years ago a little Welsh girl, Mary Jones by name, after saving for ten years walked 26 miles to get a Bible only to find the last copy sold. October 14, 1755, was the' birth date of Rev. Charles Thomas to wham Mary Jones appealed for a Bible in 1804 at Bala, Wales.
