Clinton News-Record, 1950-04-13, Page 3we are full of vitn, vigour and housecleaning activities . . , All this refers to our Easter week- end at Detroit, and altho' we did nothing exciting there, it comes at a time of year, that gives very satisfactory results , , v * NO matter how often we cross the border, we always get a kick out of the various Canadian and American officials who descend upon you—especially so, as re- gards the American immigration official who is usually very sus- picious as .regards one's reason for entering the States .. There apparently are two bugbears — Communists and people looking for work, neither of which the U.S. wants . Unfortunately there was no fun this year for us .. , . Evidently we ' no longer look to be in eitherof the aforementioned classes, because with hardly •a glance at our birth certificates. the immigration cf- fieial smilingly passed us by , , We often have wondered what fnagic a Canadian birth certifi- cate has for the U.S. Immigra- tion, as one could easily be hor in Canada and still be receivi secret orders nein the Kremli and undoubtedly there are such ;:cores of Ci.:ad1ans, if even in small numbers Arne OBITUARY WILLIAM JOHN IviCCABE William John McCabe 'passed peacefully away in Clinton on Monday, March 27, 1950.

WE stayed at Hotel Tuller on Grand Circus Park for obvious reasons (see page 7 of this issue, advertisement), and in spite of the "obvious reason," we always ap- preciate the hotel's appointments and services and incidentally the rates are more .reasonable than in a Toronto hotel of the same type . Maybe we have simple tastes, but apart from visiting friends and relatives, what we enjoy most in Detroit is the food and the dime stores . • , We always manage to find places to eat where the meats are cooked in an interesting manner with Ftench sauces and such like, andthere is a wide choice of the enticing fresh vegetables. k :k * MASTER Sunday, we attended the service at Central Methodist Church at the corner of the Park and Woodward Ave., waiting 10 line for a bait hour to gain ad- mittance to the church Music by three choirs, an adult choir, a youth choir of 45 voices and an all girl choir of 36, plus an inspiring sermon by Dr. H. H. Crane on "Our Faith in Im- mortality" made it all very worth while e ' * . OFTEN when we are out of reading material we spend our spare minutes browsing through a well -thumbed volume in the house—Bartlett's "Familiar Quo- tations" , When we were reading quotations from Alex- ander Dumas (author of the Three Musketeers) the other evening, we came upon ,a quota- tion from one of his Iesser known books --it was "cherchez la femme" and that stopped us in our tracks . , .
