The current campaign gets under- • way this week and continues for a week with the Victoria Day holiday p„rovid- , ing a long weekend in 'which to Om- •lplete those last minute details that Mean so much in terms of the overall appearance of ones property. In any year the campaign has Tnerit. This year, however, it should have a particular significance ., for Seaforth. This is the year we are celebrating Our hundredth birthdaf and we are invit- ing all our former *residents back to the party, We don't want to have our visit- ors find our town untidy and in need of everyday housekeeping. The town has talcen a major step for- ward towards. the provision of a town plan where orderly development and In growth may be assured, not only today, but in the years ahead, for areas to ac- commodate industry and homes. Pro- gressive muniCipalities recognize that to do this and to realize the full pbten- tial of such growth, necessitates the careful separation of one area from the other. But equally important, having established a plan, is that properties, both residential and industrial, be main- tained in a manner that suggests pride and concern in our community. It is here that a clean-up program can have a particular significance. Council is acting to, provide' the over- all protection and encouragement which only planningscan make possible and is moving to correct particular situations of neglect in the town. It is up to us as individual citizens to do our part to tidy up our lawns, properties, so that when the visitors come we can wel- come them firm in the knowledge that the town never looked better. the Years Agone From The Huron Expositor MaY 14, 1943 There was a full representa- tion of the businessmen at the ,meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.

Barron, on the 7th concession of McKillop was the scene of a very pleas* evening's entertainment when neighbors and friends gathered to. spend a social evening with Mr. Barron and his sister before they left for their new home in Seaforth. They were made the recipients of three handsome chairs. Word hasbeen received here that F. it. Cyril Stewart is nom./ making a rapid recovery in Eng- land.

I've been in stitches, like surgical, since my wile decided to "do" my income tax this year, and save the cost of an auditor. Right at the moment, were thousands of dollars ahead of the game. R's ,a delirious feel- ing, but I don't think it will last. There are a couple of clauses she's not sure of. • By the way, did you ever try, as an ordinary layman, to read one of those dandy little book- lets your friendly revenue de- partment is putting out to "help" you? In the first place, as an old printer, I swear it cost 5 mil- lion dollars • to print. In the • second, who needs it? The TO THE EDITOR Find Children's Pet - Is Innocent Victim May, 1988. Sir: On behalf of the Ontario So- ciety for Crippled Children and associated Easter Seal service clubs, I take pleasure in exten- ding warmest appreciation to your newspaper for the superb publicity focused on our 1968 Easter Seal Campaign. It is only through this con- tinued interest and support that we are able to relate the many important physical needs of thousands of 'crippled young sters in Ontario and in the end, . provide greater opportunity with independence. • Again and very simply, thank you. Sincerely yours, W. Denis Whitaker, Chairman, Provincial Easter Seal Colima - tee, May 1, 1968 Sir; • On Palm Sunday our dog got off his leash and being a hound when he had freedom he went for a run; that was the last Lime we saw him alive. Four weeks later after following leads and driving and walking miles we found him, less than two miles from home, shot and thrown into a pile of brush. He was only a dog, but may- be whoever did this can explain why to a boy who saved his money and finally bought the puppy he always wanted and for two years shared his meals, treats and even his bed when he could sneak him in, its pret- ty hard far a boy to accept this. I guess t4e'll never know why there are some people who can't love pets. His parents, Don and Ann Wood. booklet is written in auditor's language, which is second only to that of lawyers' incompre- hensibility. If it takes you 30 pages to tell you how to fill out your income tax form, there's some- things rotten in the state of Canada. Especially if you don't have a clue when you've fin- ished reading it I have a suggestion for the • government. The booklet could be cut to half the size, and written in plain English, by any reasonably competent writer, with an auditor at his shoulder. And I can tell you something right now. The 'handy little booklet is not designed to "help"- you. It's deliberately Cloaked in language that the ordinary man does not under- stand. For the guy on a salary, it'a • comparatively simple. His tax deductions, however they hurt, are made at source. But for the small businessman, the farmer, the contractor, it's a maze of pitfalls and pratfalls. Here's a sample of the spark- ling prose of the revenuers. It's entitled: BALANCE PAY- ABLE OR REFUND. 'It says, "As indicated on the Ti Gen- eral Form, your Balance is to be determined by subtracting from yotir Total Payable (Tax and/or Canada Pension Plan contribution Payable on Self - Employed Earnings) the total credits. (Tax deducted per T4 and T4A slips. Tinounts paid by " installments and Canada Pen- sion Plan Overpayment). What does that mean? And why the brackets? And why the capitals? It's not English. • It's not comprehensible. It's pure gobbley-gook. Ah, I guess I shouldn't° get so annoyed. I can take it. I'm working. But my heart goes out to all those on the fringe, who'Ve worked like dogs all their lives, and wind up with dog food, • From, My Window By Shirley J. Kellar • BY %IMLAY .1. ICEL‘ER Thing,s are getting Just a lit- tle -Out of hand when a woman Is dismissed from her job be- cause she's too fat—or should I say because someone THINKS she's too fat. I.was reading just lately that a physical education teacher lost her job because she couldn't whip her over -200 pound frame into a size 12 gym quit which the principal . said would have been ."more becOming" to her profession. -Balderdash I say- - and it seems .that's what the tubby teacher said, too, be cause she- indicated she May just look for another school where the headmaster was more "broadminded". Certainly the: pert and petite PT marm is the ideal adver- tiseraent that physical exercise takes off inalies. Or the tall, tanned teacher with the mus- cular legs and the strong chest muscles lends strong support to the arguement that women can be both athletic and femine. But that's no reason to ditch poor potty Dotty because she's not a gaunt gidget who pro- jects little more than an image. It's a well known and proven fact that fat girls who may not look the loveliest are by far the nicest people with the most likeable personalities. I'm think- ing now about the young man who asked a Computer to spit out the addresses ,and phone numbers of girls who would make suitable mates for him. In every case the girls were over -weight he said, but at the same time delightfully enter- taining and more attractive to him than the lean lovelies who growl like the neighbor's pooch when things aren't just to their liking. It must surely be assumed that the chubby gym teacher was ousted for some other rea- son than because she was too hefty. I would hate to think that a good teacher on any con- tinent wciuld be out of work simply because she waan't as Comein and see the New Epic. ngie an some. appealling to the eye as some others. That kind of an attitude could be disastrous to fat peo- ple everywhere who hold down responsible positions and turn in excellent performances. It really isn't becoming I sup- pose, for a 'wide woman to be a nurse. How Can she possibly convince her patients that a low - calorie diet is necessary when she herself is absolutely obese? But maybe because she waddles and Puffs her way through the wards her patients are ready to avoid that fate at any cost. 'A roly-poly receptionist may not be what cartoonists depict as the proper first -impression to meet salesmeri and custom- ers. But size doesn't matter a whit if the voice that says hello is cheery and the conversation that follows is light and happy enough to life even the sourest soul out of depression. It's like money in the bank for the com- pany with a greeting girl of that capacity, no matter what size she is. The curvey clerk in a cloth- ing store can be like salt in the, wound for an over -blossomed matron who feels slightly in- adequate as it is. Some cus- tomers are much more at home with a heavier salesgirl who understands the problems of the pudgey who must also dress de- cently and attractively to lr admired. If I was the busty, hippy school- teacher who was out of work because -my figure didn't • conform to .a standard pattern I'd hold all my chins high and roll to the nearest exit If I was healthy and well and con- vinced that I was doing an ade- quate job of instructing a bunch of scrawny hollow:eyed nibblers I'd have no qualms about my' qualifications as a teacher or a. woman.
