It's Clean-up .Tine In Seaforth
• This is the tinge of year when the
conscientious householder gives thought
to tidying up his house and his garden
ready -for the growth •of another sea-
son..
This natural tendancy towards order-
liness it# some, but unfortunately not
all, of us • is encouraged each year by
the Seaforth Chamber of Commerce
hy drawing attention to the need of
painting -up and cleaning -up the com-
munity. The current campaign extends
through next week, with the Victoria
Day holiday providing. a handy kick off
occasion.
The clean-up campaign draws atten-
tion to the responsibility each of us has
in making -good the ravages of winter -
about our piroperties. We are remind-
ed" that,'whether we like it or not, each
has a duty to our community to ensure
that no untidy, • unkempt, unsightly
yards, no delapidated , buildings, or
clutters of abondoned machinery and
Wrecked cars ' remain in the public
'view - •
It is remarkable how an otherwise
favorable impression of a community
can be spoiled by just such sights. •
It is true there may be good reasons;
for such a condition to exist. But a
visitor to town ,cannot be . expected to
know this. .All- the visitor can do is
forth his impression of the community
as a whole. Unfortunately, the good
things he has seen—the streets, the
parks; the public 'buildings are weighed
against the unsightly things he has
seen. The net result may well be' unfav-
orable, too often is the case. The work,.
the planning and care of the many thus
is spoiled by. the don't -care attitude of
a few.
The efforts of the Chamber of Com-
merce.are endorsed by Seaforth Coun-
cil. 'Again, Council is providing assis-
tance so that trash, which is gath-
ered at residences across town, will ,be
removed without charge. There can be
no excuse. now for untidy . yards or
lawns.
Quote of the Month
"The •measure of national change is
shown by- four .startling facts : one,
nearly everything that we know today
had not appeared in any book when I
went to school; two, the sum total of
human knowledge doubles every four
years; three, 25 per cent of all people
who ever lived are alive today; four,
90 per cent of alt the research scientists
whd ever lived are alive today . . "
Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson.

SMILEY
First trout -fishing trip of the
year is 'like a good spring ton-
ic. -It cleanses you physically
and spiritually. And leaves you
exhausted. -
e I had mine last Saturday.
The important thing in going
after speckled trout, of course,
is the careful .planning. There's
no use to it at all if you just
throw your fishing gear -in the
car, and go out to some stream
where all• the amateurs angle,
and toss in a line. You're liable
to come home with a creel full
of fish if you go at it in this
haphazard way.
No. First of all,.you select a
fishing companion. This, to a
real angler, is ' jdst a • bit less
important than chtbosing a
mate for -life. You- want a de-
pendable sort . of chap — the
type who is going tb : have
fresh wnforins for both of you, a
good supply of hooks, maps
with the sure-fire holes marked
in red, and an; infallible sense
of direction in the bush.-
