Cemetery Tresspassers Will Be Prosecuted
CLINTONTHE NEWS-RECORD
First issue (Huron Nova-Record)
January 1881
ONE OF THE CHIEF CONCERNS IV the
Clinton Cemetery Board is the parties that
have been taking place on the Clinton Ceme-
tery grounds. On numerous occasions bottles
have been strewn about and many broken on
the tombstones, by pranksters who seem to
have no respect for the dead t Those who
are responsible for actions of this nature must
surely overlook the fact that a place of burial
is considered, by right thinking citizens, one
place which should be held in reverence and
respect.
It is unlawful to be in the cemetery after
sunset and the Cemetery Board will take rigid
action against the midnight marauders.
It is unofficially understood that the re-
ports of health authorities to the Cemetery
Board have been excellent and the Board is
determined to maintain this standing.
There should be- no need of an editorial
of this nature to appear in any locality in a
civilized country. Unfortunately, it appears,
from recent happenings in Clinton Cemetery,
that there are still some whope sense of decency
is sadly acking. Those in that category must
be exposed and corrected.
Officials Study Ontario's Pollution Problem
THE PROBLEM of pollution of Ontario's
waters is occupying the attention of officials
of-the Department of Lands and Forests who
have, for years, been studying just what can
be done to stop the pollution. Difficulty is,
according to the official that while less than
one-tenth' of one per cent, of the estimated two
million lakes in the Province are polluted, the
pollution exists tewhere population is greatest.
Almost every day, department officials are
called upon to travel to various areas in the
Province where complaints of pollution have
been made. Too, in co-operation with the
Department of Health, they closely scrutinize
plans of ner industries, effluents from which
might further pollute .waters, particularly in
Southern. Ontario — where most of Ontario's
population is.
Industry is more cognizant of the need for
controlling industrial wastes than ever before,
according to the officials.
There are two major reasons for this:
First, public opinion is definitely against the
industry which knowingly pollutes neighbour-
ing waters, and the industries depend on the
general .public for their existence. Secondly,
modern methods of manufacture and research
have brought about a great change in the sal-
vage of valuable material' from industrial
waste. In the case of one large Northern On-
tario concern, waste formerly pumped into a
river was further processed bringing the in-
dustry an estimated additional $100,000 a year.
In another case, fumes released from a refinery
were processed- and extremely valuable chemi-
cals retrieved.
"There is a broad field of approach through
research which is being carried on by pro-
vincial governments, the federal government
and industries, more particularly the pulp and
paper industries, in order to determine ways
and means of economically recovering and util-
izing waste substance, as well as to neutralize
or otherwise treat such substances so that they
are not detrimental to aquatic life," the gov-
ernment officials declare.

From Our Early Files
1.
My goodness, last night was
enough to strike terror to the
heart of the largest mouse,
Supermouse included. Dogs.
Dogs, by the score. They
yelped and pranced around
so, I do believe they were
worse than a veritable army
of cats. However, they were
fairly well controlled by the
strong arms of their owners,
and I finally got close enough
to see what was going on.
Of course, you were there.
Everybody and his brother to
say nothing of everybody's dog,
was at the Mutt Show. Gather-
ed on the Public School grbunds
with youngsters, bicycles and
tricycles, was every sort of dog
imaginable. There were dogs-in-
arms, not yet old enough to get
down and run about; there were
furry puppies; there were tiny,
practically hairless toy dogs;
there were collies and mongrels;
there were boxers and spaniels.
All combed and shining for the
parade to Main Street.
The RCAF Station Clinton
Band was there too, with
drums beating, horns blowing,
and brass a-shining. There
were three very pert little
drum majorettes to lead the
band, and though we're sure
they were much too young to
belong to the Air Force, they
did add dash and sparkle,

with their gay uniforms and
waving cockades on their hats.
Did I not mention the parents?
Well, goodness sakes a me, they
were there for sure. After all,
did not the proud mommas stitch
those costumes for their young-
ones, and did not the prideful
poppas help the dogs get into
their gay regalia? Did you see
the black spaniel dressed like a
Scotchman—kilt and all? Look
out, you pipers, there may be
a competitor for your glory at
the next parade.
Now these canines, some-
times yelping, often prancing,
very few of them really par-
ading in an. approved martial
style, can be forgiven their
overly buoyant spirits. Some
of them had been promised a
good sized helping , of Dr.
Ballard's, but more than that.
these dogs, all of them, had
been kept under lock and key
practically all summer, with
the exception of the occasion-
al walk. But during the gar-
den season, a dog on the loose
is apt to be impounded, and
what dog wants that to hap-
pen? These dogs were sud-
denly all taken for a walk at
the same time, and all to the
same place. They had a
chance to see all the neigh-
bour dogs, and parts of town
they had not seen since the

Well, did you get to the fair?
Of course I mean the Big Fair.
Is• there any other than West-
ern? My, it was• warm, wasn't
it? We went down in the even-
ing, though, and it wasn't too
bad at all. We didn't make it
early enough to get tickets for
the grand stand, and "Sold Out"
really means just that to the
ticket sellers. Not even room for
one small mouse on the stands,
not even in the rush4eats half-
way down the tracks.
But we saw the fireworks.
They get better and noisier
each year. Down behind the
stands, somewhere between
the CGIT booth and Wally's
Wonder Popcorn, with hund-
reds of people, we got a fine
view of the skies, as they
mushroomed into technicol-
our splendour. We had to be
pretty careful though, be
cause, when people are look-
ing up, they're none too care-
ful of where they put their
great big feet.
We saw the peanut men and
the rubber monkeys on sticks.
We looked at new cars, ever so
modern beside a 1907 jalopy. We
watched demonstrations of power
derived from candle light; the
ever popular vegetable slicers;
new fangled bottle-tops ("Put it
on, leave it on, never take the
darn thing off", chanted the
