CLEAN UP PAINT UP
„Nonwrivt3r: '/i4;;* Oa:171;'
When it comps to paint, your eyes can
fool you badly.
Any paint looks good when you first
apply it. But how will it look in
five years . .. yes, even one,year?
C-I-L PAINTS hove not only beauty you can see, but
quality you can trust, You can depend on them for
the high hiding qualities, the enduring resistance to
wear and weather which make your paint dollars go
farther.
Whenever you paint, it pays to see your

The Boy Scouts of Clinton are
winding up their annual quota
drive for 1952 funds which are
needed to assist the boys of our
neighbourhood and county to see
the better side of life and a
cleaner living for the fiture.
The -motto of the Boy Scouts
Association is "Be Prepared" and
this now is a greater thought in
our minds as to what the future
may bring in our lives and those
that follow in our steps.
We are endeavouring now to
build a camp site where we will
be able to take your boy, Cub
or Scout, for a trip in the bush
for approximately one week's
camp each year. Also, the same
area to be used by troops on day
hikes or overnight trips, there-
fore, in winding up our campaign
drive we are offering for sale a
membership card to each and
every interested citizen who
wishes to see their boy and their
community better than average.
Our sincere thanks to Lorne
Brown, A. G. Grigg, McEwan
Press, Clinton News - Record,
"Short" Campbell, and all who
have helped to make this drive a
success so that we can show the
boys that we are behind them
100 per cent and are doing our
part to help.
Thank you. — L. G. Winter,
general chairman; F. H. Churchill,
Scout Master.
