A Woman's Viewpoint on This and That
By MBA
WE attended a meeting of
Clinton. Horticultural Society last
week for the purpose of report-
ing it for the paper ,.. But in-
stead of writing a news story,
we felt we would like to com-
ment on it here because so many
things of interest were discussed,
which showed to us only too
clearly how valuable' an organ-
ization of that nature is to a
town, . . .
a a•
rV
FOR one thing, the Horticul-
tural Society is planning to take
over the beautification of Lib-
rary Park and make it into
something everyone can be proud
of . . Mrs, S. Castle and C. H.
Epps were appointed to make the
necessary plans, so that the Park
will be at its best _for Old Home
Week . To de this, they will
need the co-operation of towns-
folk, young and old, who have,
over the years, been beating a
path across the grass, in order to
save a few steps
6 a
EVERYONE, we feel certain, is
anxious to have the town look-
ing its best for the big celebra-
tion next summer, so the sug-
gestions made by C. H. Epps to
the meeting, are very apropos...
Anyone driving through the
town these past few years, could
not help but notice the many
unkempt boulevards along 'the
streets There has been an
excuse for this on account of the
sewage installation . , But that
is now completed and the high-
way road work is finished
Mr. Epps stressed to the Society
that to make the town tidy the
boulevards should be levelled and
grass grown and cut . The
next step is to have a well cared
for lawn and then a few plants
and shrubs around the house
complete an attractive setting . , ,
He suggested that if one person
along a street started this boule-
vard work, it would encourage
others . Let's hope that his
suggestion catches on! .
MEMBERS of the Holticultural
Society are going to act as judges
for a Home Beautification Con-
test which is being sponsored by
the Junior Farmers of the
County . This idea of the
rural organization might well be
taken up by a town group too...
* ra *
THERE were other interesting
talks at the meeting . . Mrs. F.
Fingland spoke on the "Conser-
vation of Wild Flowers in On-
tario"; Mrs. S, Castle on "Roses"
and Rev. R. M. P. Bulteel on
"Pruning" . Mrs. L. Mac-
Kinnon presided at the meeting
and conducted a quizz which
showed that the most popular
"annuals" are petunias, zinnias,
marigolds, asters and larkspur, in
that order .
m -a
WHILE talking the other day
to the Rev. Hugh C. Wilson, he
told us a little story that is quite
a commentary on the attitude,
or maybe we should say, expec-
tation of excitement, of young-
sters Mr. Wilson was talking
to one of the men who wag clear-
ing mow away from the fire
hydrants when a young lad came
along and observed what was
being done . The lad's re-
action was "Say. mister, are we
going to have a*fire today"! .
"B" PLAYERS in any athletic
association are usually the for-
gotten athletes, who through love
of the game keep plugging along,
but who receive none of the
attention of the "stars" But

OBITUARY
THOMAS W. MORGAN
Funeral services were largely
attended on Monday afternoon.
March l$, 1950, at the Ball and
lefutoh Funeral Home, High St„
Clinton, for Thomas William
Morgan. Rev. D. J. Laneofficiat-
ed and interment followed in
Clinton Cemetery.
Pallbearers were John Leiper,
Frank Mu'tch, Wilfred Jervis, Dr.
F. G. Thompson, Dr. H. A. Mc-
Intyre, and E. J. Jacob. FIower-
bearers were Andrew Steep, Ken-
neth Pickett, John Cree, John A.
Sutter, D. A. Kay, Glenn Cornish,
Clarence Neilans and Benson
Sutter.
Mr. Morgan was born in Lon-
don, England, on June 4, 1896,
and as a lad of' seven came to
Canada. He had continuously
resided in this locality since that
time. Mr. Morgan enlisted in
World War I and saw active ser-
vice overseas. Since the close of
the war Mr. Morgan had been
very active in the Militia in this
area, and continued with this
organization until the dishandon-
ment of the Middlesex and Huron
Regiment. He was greatly inter-.
ested in sports and in his younger
days had been a football player.
He very seldom missed a ball
game during the season.
In religion, Mr. Morgan -was a
member of Clinton Presbyterian
Church. He was a member of
Clinton Lodge IOOF, No. 83, of
which he was a Past ,Grand. He
took a very active part in the
life of the Legion and on num-
erou's occasions had acted as their
parade marshal. Mr. Morgan
was a man who had a cheery
word for all, and was well -liked
by all who knew him. The num-
erous beautiful floral tributes
which surrounded the casket
were mute evidence of the high
esteem in which Mr. Morgan was
held.
Mr. Morgan's death occurred on
Thursday, March 9,, in Clinton
sonnei of Clinton RCAF Station,
facilities were provided that not
many "A" tournaments enjoy
a •
CLZNTONIANS, quite familiar
with the old drill hall, were
amazed at the changes that have
been made there during the past
few months to turn it into a
Recreation Centre .. The floor
has been sanded and refinished,
the walls painted and a large
lounge started, but still not com-
pleted, over the bowling alley at
the far end of the hall . A
modernistic. double stairway, en-
closed in stained plywood leads
up to the lounge . , . From F/O
Roger Dufort, we understand that
the lounge walls and a false
ceiling of plywood, will change
the appearance of that very com-
fortable area ... This fine build-
ing with its six courts, a loud
speaker system, and dressing ac-
cominodation in other buildings
were put at the service of the
tournament . And to top all
that, the Air Force played hosts
to the 100 or so players and an
equal number of spectator guests
Saturday evening by serving a
delicious buffet supper -and we
mean supper! , As Mac Rob-
inson, president of the W.O. Bad-
minton Association and lstd vice-
president of the Ontario Associa-
tion, said, be had attended many
tournaments in his day, but never
had he received hospitality like
that . ,
CLINTON, thanks to the co-
operation of the RCAF, won for
itself a reputation, as sponsors of
a friendly get-together in which
there was a lot of friendly rivalry
We wouldn't want him to
know it, but we were rather
Proud of aur better half, who was
responsible for much of the or-
ganization work back of the
tournament . . Also .we were
very proud of some of our Clinton
players . . . To quote Mac Robin-
son again . He said there are,
at tournaments, always a few
players that win the affection of
the spectators and in°this tour-
nament in his opinion, the two
were both from Clinton ... They
were Betty Jackson (Mrs. Gor-
don) (weight 98 lbs,) who put
up the scrappiest game in the
ladies' singles, only to lose out
to the expected champion, Mrs.
Nell Armstrong, Exeter, and then
with her partner, Mrs. Charles
Mason, to outplay the same op-
ponent in the women's doubles,
even if that necessitated return-
ing shots while still sitting on
the floor after a previous tumble!
, ' Clinton's other colorful
player was F/O Harry Holmes,
who "won the interest of spectat-
ors from the beginning . . . His
semi-final men's singles against
Jack Hill, Stratford, was in our
opinion, the most brilliant bad-
minton of tfre tournament .. , It
was certainly the headiest game -
for badminton like many other
sports requires outhinking your
opponent as well as muscle , ,
Harry's change of pace from
trickling net shots to power
smashes and placements was
something to behold , , ,
THE VOICE OF.
TEMPERANCE
On its front cover Saturday
Night states that "Politics and
liquor don't mix." -Our police
department assures us that
gasoline and liquor don't mix.
Our highest hockey authorities
tell us that hockey and liquor
don't mix. -It is just as true
that curling and liquor don't
mix. The truth -of the matter
is that always and everywhere
liquor is a potential trouble
maker. -It is on anti -social

MISS GRACE R. CAMERON
(By our •Hayfield correspondent)
The death occurred at the
Queen; Elizabeth Hospital, Toron-
to on Saturday, March 11, of
Grace Robertson Cameron, only
daughter of the tete Isabella Mor-
rison and Thomas Cameron, Bay-
field.
Born in the village of Bayfield,'
April 25, 1877, most of the late
Miss Cameron's life had been one
of great suffering, g. When she
was about 20 years of age, she',
became ill with arthritis, and
despite special treatment in
Mount Clemens, Mich., and the
Orthopedic Hospital, Toronto, the
malady progressed until she be-
came completely crippled. Fol-
lowing her mother's death, Jan-
uary
anuary 21, 1927, she went to To-
ronto to live with her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Martha Cameron. In
1928 she entered the Queen Eliza-
beth Hospital, where she was a
patient until her death. During
the years her love for end interest
in Bayfield never waned, It was
remarkable that she retained her
beautiful penmanship and under
great difficulty, she wrote the
daily , menu for the hospital to
do her bit when it was under-
staffed.
Miss Cameron was the oldest
child of the date Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas s Cameron. m ro
e n. The youngest
child, Gordon, predeceased her
Jan. 29, 1950, Donald died March
20, 1902, and Norman, January
18, 1927. Surviving are John 'R ,
Bayfield, and James A. Cameron,.
Toronto.
The remains rested at the Fun-
eral Chapel of A. W. Miles, 20
St. Clair Ave. West, until Mon-
day, when the cortege proceeded
to Hayfield. The burial service
was held on Tuesday afternoon,
at two o'clock, at the home of her
brother, John R. Cameron, and
was in charge of the Reverend
LaVerne Morgan, Rector of Trin-
ity Church of which the deceased
