THE WEATHER REALLY HAS
turned colder and winter may be
, on the way . . In fact; it's only
45 days until Christmas! . . . By
the way, we are among the lucky
ones with tickets for the McGill -
Western rirgby game at London
Saturday afternoon . Hope it
doesn't snow or something . . .
*
APPARENTLY, THERE WILL
be no "Clinton Day" this fall . .
Bob Campbell, chairman of the
Retail Merchants Committee, in-
forms us that the response of
the business men to his letter of
inquiry was very poor and so
no action will be taken . , . In
many ways, it is too bad to drop
a. favorably -established project,
but lackof interest has killed
-
other good things before this.,.

MRS. W. A. OAKES, A IMMO-

The series opens on November
28 with the Columbus Boys' Choir,
with subsequent concerts on Jan-
uary 17 and March 22 . . .

'
(By our Hayfield correspondent)
A scientist recently warned
that if the atomic bomb Were used
the world would revert to the
cave -dwelling era.
The tax notices this year are
enough to turn the eitizens of
Hayfield into cave dwellers! But
a word to the wise:—If you con-
template scooping out a subter-
ranean dwelling somewhere, 'go
to the hills. Don't choose a spol
near the river or the lake, for if
the Assessor catches up with you,
your holding will be valued at
$2 per foot for the former and
$5 per foot for the latter.
• Even though you cannot see
either river or lake from your
.abode you'll "pay through the
nose" for the privilege of sitting
In dust and weeds in either loca-
tion (this is what is known as
equalization of assessment). And
whatever you do, don't have a
hardwood plank at the entrance
to your underground retreat—it
would be too suggestive of polish-
ed floors! And don't go in for
landscaping—burdocks and nettles
grow without cultivation,, make
an effective screen, and have
medicinal properties into the
bargain!
And that just reminds" us (we
pay so much for education), what
has been done in this district to
educate Mr. and Mrs. liatin Citi-
zen who scorn the idea of cave -
dwelling how to protect them-
selves in case a real live atoniic
bomb were dropped in Huron
County?

its expenses, which are not small

such a hunt takes place the deer
that survive will be driven out
into the surrounding townships.
Landowners adjacent to the
club's preserve, reported that
their property would be signed

ing will be allowed in the area
