ONE LAST
Of the manysuggestions which we are
tempted to make " before Nomination Night -
Many of them we would be unwise to make in
this column - we would lil t t f
this,.one idea:
Out of the many .dollars _which are spent
for the public good, through the offices of the
town - by far the greatestproportion of
them are spent for education. Last year Clin-
ton's share in the cost of operating the public
school was over $46,500 and her share for the
,cost of the collegiate expense was over $12,000,
Each of the four townships around Clinton
contributed roughly $10,000 toward the cost of
secondary education, as well as toward the
cost of their own rural schools, That sort of
money is not "mere chickenfeed".
Yet when the night of accounting of past
SHORT LES
The time during. which the Clinton News -
Record may be purchased at the present rate is
ospidly coming to an end For five years now,
the publishers have held the line against en-
croaching costs, and have managed to print the
news you wanted in print, managed not to raise
the. subscription cost to you.
Recently a rise in cost of newsprint was
the straw which "broke the camel's back". If
4tiat'had been the only rise in cost of product-
ion since 1950, it certainly would not have
caused a subscription increase. But, it came at
a time when all other increases were weighing
Up on us heavily.
It was not necessary for the publishers to
announce ahead . of time that a rise in sub-
scription cost was coming. How often have you

deeds rolls around, and the public gets its one
chance in the year. -to hear of what their re-
presentatives have done"in spending their money
the school boards are the last in the pro-
gram to speak, and therefore their audience is
mighty small indeed.
Why not, therefore, place the story of ed-
ucation first on the program on Nomination
Night?
What if the mayor and the reeve and the
deputy reeve and all the others feel slighted and
their importance lowered!, just for one night?
After all if this schools business Is one which
continues to demand the greater share of our'
tax dollar, why not bring them into the lime-
light where they deserve to be?Give the board
members a chance to tell their story to a wide-
awake audience early in the evening. Their
story deserves this attention.
SON IN COSTS
had a grocer tell you to lay in a stock of
tomatoes now, for the cost was going up? or
the hardware merchant to tell you to buy hoes
this week, for next week they'd cost more?
But we did think it was a nice Christmas
present to give our readers in 1955, and certain-
ly a great number of them have picked up their
gift.: It is a pleasure to realize your great good
nature in accepting this price rise along with
all the others in your daily living, with next to
no complaint.
Certainly if the wages of labour continue
to go up, then in the country over it is necessary
to raise the cost of goods, and again the cost
of labour must go up again. Some may say,
"It's terrible, isn't it?" But just think how
much more terrible it would be if the spiral
were on the way down instead of on the way up.
WE MUST BE ON THE ALERT
(By 1t. H. JARDINE, Secretary -Manager, Ontario Cream Producers Association)
A FIRM REMINDER that we must be on
the alert has come to my desk in the form of
a release from the Institute of Edible Oil Foods
Which has undertaken to answer the supposed
questions of Canadian consumers everywhere.
We take exception to such assertions as
"margarine is as nutritious a food as butter,"
and "margarine as a nutritious food product
made in Canada does not want , . nor does
it need : . . to hide behind the skirts of any
other food" simply because they neglected to
mention that the vitamin content of margarine
is mad up largely of synthetics and that the
product is made largely of imported oils.
We take real exception to the reason given
for the "discrimination" against yellow marg-
arine. The release says "the people in the
butter industry . . . except the farmers who
sell their butter and buy margarine for their
-own use . . , fear the loss of sales."
And not being content with that insult the
release attempts to substantiate the Institute's
claims by saying that "since margarine has been
sold on the Canadian market, the sales of but-
ter to the Canadian people have been at the
highest level in the history of Canada."
How in the world the above can be re-
conciled when we know the per capita consump-
tion of butter has dropped from 29 pounds to
23 pounds per year is hard to understand. Even
total sales occasioned by an increased popula-
tion fail to tally._ Let us receive this propa-
ganda as a warning that the makers of marg-
arine are out to get the color restrictions -on
margarine removed and will stoop to any means
or method.
Well they know that in the United States,
consumption of margarine increased anywhere
from 15 to 50 per cent after the product was
allowed to be colored the natural yellow color
of butter.

WE FORGIVE -BUT WE CANNOT ERASE
•
1T IS TRUE -it has always been true-
that to err is human and to forgive, divine,
And it is also true that there is plenty of error
in the world and ample forgiveness.
But it is well to remember that no amount
of forgiveness ever really washes away any
errors. We may forgive, condone, forget and
overlook, but the error is, never erased.
It is simply that the price of error is
distributed over a wider area and that more
shoulders are mustered to carry the increasing
load which it ilas brought into being.
The price must be paid. It is like a die
that is cast. It is inevitable. In a city, it is
paid by the community; in a family by its
other members; and in • a business, by other
men, women and children, whose' hopes and
whose futures are dieectly or indirectly affected
by what happens.

He 'will act and talk in your way when he's grown up just like you.
There's a wide-eyed little fellow who believes • you're always right,
And his ears are always open and he Watches day and night;
You are setting an example every day in all you do,
For the little boy who's waiting to grow up to . be like you.

THE
BIBLE
TODAY
"I would be so glad to help in
the translating of the Bible, and
so if you would send me a diction-
ary and a grammar of some of
these primitive languages, I would
be happy to dedicate my spare
time to this work." The above is
taken from a letter to the Bible
Society by a well-wishing person
who did not know that most of
these languages have never been
put into written form.
Nevertheless some such lang-
uages have grammars that pract-
ically defy description and words
of almost interminable length. An
example is the 32 letter Bolivian
Quechua word,-"ruwanayashas-
kasniyquichejamantaka." This
word is composed of eight distinct
grammatical parts, each of which
must occur in the correct order,
and means "concerning your con-
tinually accomplishing your fut-
ure work." In this' language it
"is possible to lake almost any
verb root and add " more than
50,000 combinations of at least
20 different sets of suffixes and
particles which combine to make
up these complicated forms" ac-
cording et Dr. Eugene Nide, sec-
retary for translation work of the
Arnercian Bible Society,
The intricacies of pronunciat-
ion in most primitive languages
is also very complicated. We
sometimes think the paint manu
-
facturershave reached the limit
of names for the colours of theirs
products, but in Madagascar the
natives use over 200 strange
sounding noises to make up over
100 strange sounding words and
phrases to differentiate as many
different colours.
It is no wonder in all' the wel-
ter of strange sounds, queer gram-
matical forms and myriads of new
words that one poor missionary
in Central Africa became confus-
ed and told the people to "go sit
on a stick" rather than "enter
into the Kingdom ,of God" Be-
cause of a very inadequate know-
ledge of the native idiom in one
Iangciage of Liberia on the part
of early missionaries, their, suc-
cessors found the natives reciting
the Lord's Prayer ' as "Do not
catch us when we sin," rather
than "Lead us not into tempta-
tion." This mistake was quickly
corrected when discovered.

IDEA FOR OLD SCHOOL
The Editor, Clinton . News-Redord
and the People of the
Town of Murton
Nowthat this week,' Noininat-
len Day is due again, the common
arguments and discussions .are
unde Nay,',
On of these . is that minors
(children under 18 years of age)
apparently are allowed to': enter
poolrooms and to pass: away, their
spare time there. But, why; blame
the pool 'room owner, who sees the
necessity for the boys to go'some-
where after school hours? After
all pool and bowling are games of
skill, not gambling. The only
blameI have is. that 'apparently
boys are allowed to enter one
poolroom in town, but not the
other,

People say, "It's against the
law". But why blame others for
what we, the parents are to blame
alone. Are we bringing up our'
children in the right way? Do we
give them the right opportunities
for entertainment in their spare -
time? What is there for boys and
girls• Gln town to do except sit in
restaurants, and play pinball
machines? or walk the streets get-
ting into mischief? '
I think one ounce of prevention
is worth a ton of remedy. '
Now, you will say, what can we
do about it? I'd like to make a
suggestion;
You, all know we have the old
Public School on our hands. It is
not used by anybody and is just a
headache to Council and the Town
Why not get together, call a pub-
lic meeting, and turn the school
over to the Service Clubs and
church organizations, or sell it to
the Clubs at a reasonable price
under condition of permanent tax
exemption. Then re -build it in-
side, on a pattern of the YMCA
and YWCA. Organize such an as-
sociation or run it under the sup-
ervision of a Commission appoint-
ed or elected by the said Service

etc,
Also, allot rooms for the Scouts,
Cubs, Girl Guides and Brownies,
as well as the CGIT. And maybe,
there could be a room found for
the oldsters, to pass the time
away with a card game,or check-
ers, etc.
I know a lot of you people will'
say, who is going to pay for this
all? I heard the Scout leaders
talk about going to build a Scout
Hall. This could cost about $25,000
to $40,000. Why 'Should one organ-
ization spend that money, alone?
Why not hook all together, Service
Clubs and Church Clubs, and all
the other organizations. Pu11 to-
gether and show our children that
we are interested in them.
I ask all you parents of Clinton
and District to consider my sug-
gestion, call a public meeting and
talk this thing over, It is better
than laying blame at somebody
else's door,
Yours sincerely

never studied ancient history or
