Clinton News-Record, 1950-03-16, Page 3I THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1950 CLINTON NEWS-RECORI) PAGE •THRBi Let'sChatthat 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"! .

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 virus. 17rb Weak, Tired, Nervous, Pepkkss Wien, 'Women Get New Vim, 'Vigor, Vitality Cay 5005550 to then weak mucic tired [collae% dap esltelt end 1 ekV Usnes due to seal, thin blond Get no teeth* fresh be peppy 011 day l,nvo purity et vltalitY lilt ovah> evening rote Chum.

On March 6, 1924, he married Isabella Euphemia (Phame) Cree, who survives, as well as one son,, Robert Morgan, Clinton, and one daughter, Jean, Mrs. Roy Olsson, London. Also surviving are Mr. Morgan's father, two sisters, and brother, Walter, all residing in England. 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 All the hospital supplies used in Ontario Red Crass Outpost Hospitals are made by Red Cross Volunteers working through the Women's Work Committees, The veteran is not forgotten by Red Cross; in hospital, sanitorium, soldiers club or after he has re- turned home. woman had, been a member dur- ing her residence here, Interment was made in Bayfield Cemetery, The pallbearers were: Harold Stinson, Melvin Davidson, John Marks, William Parker, Hugh MacKay, and Welter •Westlake.
