IT was good to see Clinton in
the -forefront of communities
which organized on a town basis
to raise funds for the Manitoba
Flood Relief For a national
calamity, such as the Manitoba
flood, it needs the concerted ef-
fort of all and should not be ;left
to one organization to handle, as
we have observed, by reading
numerous newspapers, many
towns are doing . . , Let us hope
that all Clintonians will respond
generously .

its purse that in proportion to

bride wore a navy faille suit,

roads in Colborne, Goderich end
Stanley Townships, up and down
dales . Going past beautiful
woods, their foliage just beginning
to open, it was possible to see
deep in the woods and the pro-
fusion of trilliums, hepaticas,
violets and marsh marigolds .
Remembering a talk at the Horti-
culture Society, we did not pick
any trilliums, but did come home
with a nice bouquet of marigolds
Both the woods and streams
attracted many town dwellers that

No. 1 Community spring Clean -Up
Most housewives have finish-
ed their spring housecleaning;
like spring itself this year,
however, the men are tardy in
their duties.
The neglect to dispose of
refuse or, premises can invite
disease. Rats, flies and mos-
quitoes can all find either a
breeding place or food in much
of the rubbish and garbage
that has accumulated over
winter. Minor "nuisance"
complaints arise that banish.

have for his neighbour.

Council. Be health conscious.
Be a good neighbour. Clean

Campaigns have become a Can-
adian tradition. Many' com-
munities now observe coopera-
tive . clean-up in the interest
of safety and health.
Beyond the obvious benefits
of a more attractive neighbor-
hood and healthier place for
children to grow, t here are
many added benefits that a
clean-up brings. Fewer fires,
reduced juveniledel.ihquency
and lower disease rates are
some advantages of a clean
community.
Get together with your neigh-
bors and look over your own
street. You may find eyesores
or vacant lots with collected
rubbish and other fire haz-
ards. Refuse -filled lots are
often breeding places for flies,
mosquitoes, rats and other
disease bearers. Clean them
up, The lots will then provide
snore play space for children.
And let us all not forget
that we want the town to be
in tip-top shape for, the Old
Boys' Reunion in August.

Spring cleaning has tradi-
tionally been mother's depart-
ment, but there are a lot of
jobs that should fall `day's way
during t h e annual spring
Clean -Up.
From the man's point of
view, spring Clean -Up is a
good time to get rid of many
fire hazards' around the house.
It's an opportunity for the man
of the house to check up on
the heating equipment, the
chimney, roofing, electric wir-
ing, and general repairs.
There are some 35,000 fires
in Canadian homes every year.
Most of them can be prevent-
ed. Nine out of ten fires are
caused by carelessness o r'
neglect.
So let's get rid of all these
fire hazards around our resi-
dences
or places of business!

IT'S WORTH•SAVING PART OF
FAMILY ALLOWANCE CHEQUES
Make This Down Payment on a Full Education
There are many ways of giving children a worthwhile
start in life, Home training counts a lot, so do good food
and clothing. And there's the great advantage of a well-
balanced education.
Most parents have probably discussed these matters often
enough, just as they've discussed the best ways of employ-
ing the monthly Family Allowance Cheques. And they've
considered the long-term uses of these cheques—saving
them for High School and College days.
Even if you can't see your way to set aside the whole
cheque each month, why not save a portion of it for this
purpose? ' Open a special savings account at the Bank of
Montreal, and put away your Dollars for Education regularly
each month. By the time your family needs them, they'll
have added up—with interest—to a sizeable sum. Your
youngsters will appreciate this great help forward on the
road to success,
When you receive your next cheque, drop into your
local branch of the B of M to cash it and put some
dollars aside. William Robinson, manager, warmly invites
you to open a savings account for this best of purposes.
Manitoba Flood Relief Campaign
We, the Manitoba Flood Relief Com-
mittee, ore very pleased with the way the
citizens of Clinton have responded to our
appeal for funds,
As the need for money isso great, we
expect to continue this collection campaign
for some time.
Any further donation may still be left
at either the Royal Bank, or Bank of Mont-
real, Police, or Town Clerk's Office.
Up to date, the total collection amounts
to $1,030.18, Collected by Boy "Scouts,
$451.43; other 'donations, $578.25.
