Clinton's'
THE BUSINESS PEOPLE of Clinton had
the privilege of hearing the address delivered
by Dr. E. G. Pleva, Head of the Department
of Geography, University 6f Western Ontario,
at the Chamber of Commerce dinner Monday
evening, were struck with the' wonderful pos-
sibilities for growth and development existing
in Clinton and district.
Dr: Pleva tirade many flattering comments
in connection with his report on the Land Use
Survey of last summer, and . even went so far
as to state that Clinton had one of the best
opportunities in Ontario to expand without
blighting it, as in many other towns.
The process of decentralization to the
"middle towns", such as Clinton, is going on
apace and the movement will continue to grow.
Dr. Pleva sees a vast change taking place
in this respect within the next ten years.
According to Dr. Plewa, Clinton possesses
Opportunity
many advantages that should provide a head
start in this race for industries that is coming
up, particularly in view of its fine supply of
water and power and excellent, sewage' dis-
t system.
If Clinton is to achieve its destiny in an
orderly way, Dr. Pleve's ;suggestion should be
followed, This step is the setting -up of a
Clinton and Suburban Planning Board by the
Town Council at the earliest possible date. He
considers the present the proper time, as' the
town is just starting to spill out over its
boundaries.
Mayor R. Y. Hattin• gave an indication to
the meeting of his own personal opinions with
regard to orderly planning, and we know that
several other members of Council feel that
something should he done along this line.
Therefore, The NEWS -RECORD strongly
commends the idea and suggests Council act
boldly and qui'skly.
Junior Farm
THE EXCEIai.FNT WORK done by the
Junior Farmers of Ontario and the Agricultural
Representatives and Assistants who work with
them, was emphasized at a luncheon held in
their honour by the. Ontario Department of
Agriculture Thursday lest.
Signalled out for special honours were a
former Junior Farmer, J. M. Fraser, Streets -
vine, and a member of the current group of
Juniors, Della Romagnoli.
Mr. Fraser, who is known all across Can-
ada as one of the best Holstein breeders in
the country, was honoured as representing the
answer to the oft -asked question: "What has
happened to' the former Junior Farmers?"
Premier Frost presented Mr. Fraser with a
plaque of the crest of the Province of Ontario
on which has been added a suitable inscripe
tion.
In making the presentation Premier Frost
pointed out that Jack Fraser was a man who
had made his start' as a. farmer in the hard
way, but who had built a •wonderful reputa-
tion as a fermer. He mentioned the many
awards which had been won by animals from
the Fraser -owned Spring Farm herd, adding
that in addition to raising good cattle, he was
'recognized as an outstanding farmer. Mr. Fraser
has won the Premier Breeder Banner three
times and the Premier Exhibitor Banner six
timeset the Canadian National Exhibition. At
last year's Royal and this year's• C.N.E., his
entries in both bull and female classes took
the grand championships.
In reply to the presentation, Jack Fraser.
gave' much credit for his accomplishments to
his training as a Junior Farmer and to the
ars' Training
assistance given to farmers by the Department
of Agriculture, giving particular mention, to
the Agricultural Representatives. He was a .
Junior Farmer himself during the 20's end,gives
much of the credit for things he has done
since to the training he received as a Junior,
He feels that farmers need to be better organiz-
ed and that . the work as Juniors gives the
training which will help the farmers of the
future to develop this. organization. -Mr. Fraser
urged the Junior Farmers of today to think
carefully before they leave the farm. He
would like to see every Junior Farmer go on
farming and enjoy R. Admitting that there
was plenty of work on the farm, he added if
they worked at it, they would get as much
or more out of farming as from any other
occupation they might enter.
The young lady selected for special honours
was Della Romagnoli who had been selected
as "Spirit of Camp" at the 1950 Junior Farmer
Leadership camp held a few weeks ago. This
award means that ell other campers selected
her as best representing the spirit of the
camp, a person who exemplified the best in
loyalty and cooperation. end who was willing
to do any job set before her. ..She is one of a
family of nine and her family moved to Canada
from Europe early in the century. • She was
presented with an ostrich skin handbag by
.Lieutenant -Governor, The Hon. Ray Lawson,
who, in addressing the Juniors, urged them
to remember in their dealings that ethics was
more important than legality and that being
honourable was more important than gaining
honours.
Ontario hes realreason to be proud of her
Juniors!
Season Of Serenity
THE FAITHFUL SERVANTS of the earth
find autumn a seasonof serenity, e '
rtyi comments
The Rural Scene. The fruits ofhusbandry
are stored end the homestead made secure
against the snow and frost of winter. •
A film of haze softens the sun and mel-
lows the moon. The blaze of morning be-
comes a warm glow and the fire of sunset
breaks into banks of reddened coals.
The alchemy of nature burnishes a back-
ground of pure gold splashed withh red and
toned' with green and brown. The glory of
the purple -mantled hills repeats and brightens
in the mirrors of the still waters.
The hearth light in the evening deepens
,rale twilight withoitt and quiets the hearts
within. Meditation and thanksgiving mingle
in a peace that passeth understanding.

Trains travel faster
than you thin�
r
It is commonly supposed that in collisions between .trains and
motor vehicles at railway crossing's it is the train which strikes
the motor ear. Reports to the Board of Transport Commissioners
for Canada covering the 12 -month period ended June 30th last,
however, reveal that of the 443 accidents occruing in that period,
nearly a quarter of them resulted front the motor vehicle—ranging
from sleek. sedans to modest farm trucks and even motorcycles—
striking the side of the locomotive or train. .Cases were reported
hi 'which the motor vehicle struck the train as far back as five
cars behind the engine. One of the reasons for this apparent
enamoly is the fact, well supported by scientific tests, that trains
travel faster than the motorist, who can estimate within the few
Seconds allowed for , him to determine whether or not he can
safely make the crossing. It is safer to give the train time benefit
of the doubt.

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
Channing Brewster was not an
alcoholic, but one day he quit
drinking, Why? Here's what he
says, First, the hangover, which
is not the private property of
alcoholics and whose "visitation
was as certain as death and taxes,
and just as funny." Second, "I
had to• admit that drinking, as a.
contribution to the joy of life, was
for me a bust" Third, `,`It cost
a lot of money." Fourth, he found
that "alcohol gave me a lift and
then let go and I was tireder and
duller than before." He sums it
up "Yes, I was a moderate drink-
er, , I did not crave drink. Yet
liquor was my master. I didn't
like the idea of not being my
own master."—Advt. 43-b
SENDING MONEY
AWAY?
This Way is Safe
and Simple Too
If you are senting money
away for any purpose, you want
to be quite sure that it will reach
its destination, Well, here's as
safe a way of sending money as
you can find, and one that's both
simple and inexpensive.
Drop into your local breach of
the Bank of Montreal, . end pur-
chase a B of M Money Order.
Such money orders are• payable
without charge anywhere in Can-
ada (except in the Yukon): Slip
the money order into an en-
velope, mail 'it, and you can rest
happy in the knowledge that
you've assured the best protec-
tion at really low cost. And you
know, too, that the person at the
other end won't have to be both-
ered with any exchange charge;
he'll get the full face value of
the money order.
If • you have to send money
anywhere more rapidly than by
post, have a word with Ben
Corless, the accountant at the B
of M branch in Clanton. He'll
make sure that your funds are
rushed to their destination by the
B of M's special telegraphic and
cable system.—Advt. 43-b
