A VVornan's Viewpoint on rtifi.and That.
, •
THE big celebration, which
Clintonians have been preparing
for, in -a more ot legs leisurely
way since last autumn, is mighty
close at, hand . •. . Old Home
week is just h ittle over a week
'meat . The pace of activity
in preparationa .has spurted up
during the past few weeks .
This is noticeable. especially along
the main street where many of
the merchants 'have been doing
a real job in improving the ex-
teriors of. their, buildings . . . It's
astonishing the changes each
week and if this keeps up we
will have soon one of the smart-
est small town. main streets in
the province . . . And there is
no doubt a, spie and span main
street is he best advertisement
a town can have, and it is some-
thing that attracts people — and
customers , . •
AND in regard to a epic and
span appearance in the town
there are several things to' which
we would ;like to draw the at-
tention of , the powers -that -be..
We may be; speaking out of turn—
for Possibly some arrangements
'cave been made—but any one
walking along the main street
Clinton Airman Raised
To Officer Rank
Six Ontarib airmen•are among
23 airmen NOM have been ap-
pointed to the commissioned rank
of Flying Officer; it -is announced
by Air Force Headquarters, Ot-
tawa. The Jarbraations are in
conjunction with ; the RCAla's
Policy of commissioning as many
qualified airmen from the ranks
as possible. •
The Ontario officers include
P/0 J. Savage, Apt. 2, Married
Quarters, RCAF Station, Clinton.
any Sunday, morning cannot help •
but notice how littered with
papers etc., it, and the Public
Library, Park are after a Satur-
day evening . . We wonder if
anything has been done to see
that the gtreet is cleaned after
duringeach clay's festivities' Old
Home Week? . .
),
NOW, ter a suggestion t6
householders . . ., During iii e
celebration there will be '.many
visitors driving into town and
around the town . . There is
nothing that distracts more from
the appearance of well kept lawns
and gardens than unkempt boule-

vards--and there are so many of
these in town . . Oh, we know
only too well that most, of the
bouleVards in town are very
rough and hard to cut with a'
lawn mower (we are the official
cutter at our home) . . But,
for once, could we not all make
the special 'effort to have the
boulevards as neat and 'well cut
as the lawns? . . . It will make
such a difference to the appear-
ance Of the town .
WE have heard some tall tales
about some of the happenings at
the Mitchell Old Boys' Reunion
. . , And judging from reports.
it was not the citizens of the
town nor the Old Timers, who
returned for the occasion, who
were responsible for happenings
of rowdyism that no self-respect-
ing town likes to see take place
in its midst , .. Apparently much
of the trouble in Mitchell was
caused by people, especially
young men from near -by places
who took advantage of the cele-
bration — similar to stories one
often hears about on a Hallowe'en
evening when' gangs of oldeaaboYs
take advantage of the children's
night out and perform acts verg-
ing on vandalism . . . Fun is
fun,, but rowdyism and vandal-
ism aren't , . . Let's hope that
all those in charge of our Re-
union see to it that there is lots
of fun for our guests, but that
there will be no stories going
out of Clinton similar to those
so many of us have heard from
Mitchell . .

THE VOICE.. OF
TEMPERANCE
The writer of this paragranh,
in driving from Toronto the
other might, saw' what happens
when drinkers drive. At a curve
in the road the mind of the
drinking driver was not working
fast enough. His car left the
centre of the road, veered to
the right, crashed into a farm-
er's milk stand and then car-
eened into the ditch on the other
side of the road. Nb one was
hurt, The car was badly batter-
ed. The driver was stumbling
around in a drunken daze. The
lady with him was using the
language of the gutter. That's
what happens when ladies drink,
They are no longer ladies. That's
what happens when drivers drink.
They are no longer. fit la drive
