BIBLE
TODAY
The search for a lost goat by
some Bedouins near the Dead Sea
uncovered some of the rarest ,of
early Bible manuscripts in 1947.
Portions of these "Dead Sea
Scrolls" are soon to be in the
care of McGill University at
Montreal.
Considered by Biblical scholars
and scientists alike to be treasures
greater than the richest museums
and universities of the world pos-
sess, they will be made available
for study in Canada through a
Birks Foundation gift.
These precious parchments are
believed' to have .been written by
Essenes some time before 68 A.D.
They are probably 500 years older
than any former ;mown manu-
scripts and are 'the only originals
written in Hebrew. They exceed
the famous Codex Sinaiticus of
the British Museum; and the Codex
Vaticanus of the Vatican Museum,
in importance,
The first found documents of
the group from the original cave
near the Dead Sea, were purchas-
ed by the Israeli Government after
they had been brought to America
by the Syrian Archbishop Samuel.
The price paid was $250,000. Be-
cause he had taken them out of
the country, he is now banned
from returning to Jerusalem.
Many of the later discovered
manuscripts, however, are more
valuable than the original group.
Many Canadians have had. part
in the search for and study of
these documents!, described as "one
of the most fascinating detective
stories of all time". Now portions
of these parchments will be avail-
able for study at McGill by secular
scholars as well as Protestant,
Jewish and Roman Catholic schol-
ars, who agree that they are gen-
uine and the oldest found in re-
corded history.

A FRODLEM in future planning for Chilton
1s ,going to present itself at the next eneetin,g of
the Town Council here. •
During the latter part of 1955, a request
reached ceencil from a citizen proposing to buy
a lot for the price of $100 at the end of William
Street, behind the Clinton Community Park, ti:;r
Abe purpose of erecting a horse stable. Council
,geve permission, and we lealerstaiel that a Wide
drag has since been erected on title lot. However,
the purchase of the lot has not -been completed
Pendieg the passing of a by-law by council.
Notice of intention of passing this by-.law
has been published for the past three weeks in
this paper, A, .significant section of this adver-
tisement reeds as follows; "Notice is hereby
given. That Council . . , will give consideration
to the Third reading of a By-law to close that
pert of extension of William Street which Cern-
mences 730 feet Northerly from the Northeast
fetersection of Princess! Street and William
Street and continues along that part of William
Street extended for 275 feet . . All persons
opposed to the proposed By-law are hereby notif-
ied to attend the said meeting in person or by
Counsel to state their objections thereto."
Certainly there can be no argument with
the town for disposing of part of the town's
-property at a. reasonable price to any citizen
who so desires it, We do not argue with the
fact that $100 .may quite well be a reasonable
.price. Nor do we argue that the lot in question
is not a proper place for a horse stable: Act-
ually at the present time, it may be a logical
place for such a building.
But you will .note, we have said, "At 'the
present time". •
QUOTATION of a news item in last week's
Goderich Signal-Star:
"The condition of Highway No. 8 between
Goderich. and Clinton, which is scheduled to get
a permanent top late this spring, is directly
responsible foe at least 70 air force personnel
and their families not living in Goderich, ac-
cording to an air force official at the FtCAF
Station Clinton. -
"He told the Signal-Star that these airmen
just won't commute between Goderich and Clin-
ton every day with the road in the rough con
dition it is now. He added that these airmen,
who would normally live in Goderich by prefer-
ence, now live in Hensel', Seaforth, Clinton,
Wingh.am and other places; also, that some air-
men do not bring their wives because they feel
they can not get a house in a place in which
they would like to live.
"The air force official pointed out that three
years ago records. showed that 150 air force
families lived in Goderich, whereas today the
number was about 70 families. He claimed that
rents on. the average were $15 a month less in
COUNTY COUNCIL recently endorsed the
proposal of the provincial government for the
setting up 'of the Upper Grand Development
Association for the purpose of promoting in-
dustrial development within this and three other
counties, by voting the necessary $500 grant to-
ward the project.
This in the words of the County's own in-
dustrial board's president "almost insures 100
percent participation in the plan from this area".
'So far, Exeter is the only town to agree to
contribilte its share of the cost of the plan.
There were some objections to the plan
raised in the discreseion at the County Council-
session. Some' of the reeves felt that Huron
was not grouped with the right counties, and
that with Wellington, Perth, and Waterloo, each
having large cities within their borders, Huron
would stand little chance for new industry.
However one of the reeves spoke his belief,
(with which we find it hard to disagree) that
Huron's great advantage lay with the fact that
she has no cities, and so will find favour with
those industrialists eager to decentralize and,
get space to operate.
One earlier objection was that the name
"Upper Grand Development Association" was
not the one most descriptive et the area included
in, the four eounties, However it has been nam-
ed only tentatively, and we feel that at the
next meeting of the area representatives this
month, any suggestions of a better name may
well be entertained.
As the Hon. W. M, Nickle, Ontario Minister
of Planning and Development said in Goderich
recently, "you won't get industries by sitting
back and letting other people do your work.

Surely we inget plan :for the future.
The situation as we see it is this. William
Street is the main access to the northwest corner
of Clinton. Bond Street which passes through
the eully just west of the Collegiate, will quite
probably never be built. Raglan. Street serves
its purpose to those persons living upon it. How-
ever, William Street and its extension is the
main artery to that • section of town (=built as
yet) which is northeast of the drive-in theatre
and beyond it, In the forseeable future, it could
well be the road which would allow through
traffic from Seaforth on Highway 8, planning
to travel north to Winghare, to avoid the busy
downtoWn intersection and continue north with-
oat' encountering pedestrians, red lights and
conjestion.
Clinton's early planners were wise in mak-
ing allowance for William Street and the ex--
tension of it. They had vision, and could see
what Clinton could become. We must be care-
ful now not to cannel out this vision by our
actions now.
There would be no need to. curtail the re-
quest of a citizen for the land. There could be
some lease agreement, whereby the prospective
purchaser could continue with his building, and
have it there for as long as he wishes, depend-
ing upon the need of the town for the street
allowance,
These things could' be arranged without
interrupting any of the work which has already
gone into building.
However, if the third reading of. this by-law
goes through at next Tuesday's council meeting,
then the whole cause le lost

has better advantages as a place in which to
live and that these airmen would live in Gode-
rich were it not for the rough road between
Goderich and Clinton.
"He' claimed that when the Clinton-Goderich
highway was given a permanent top late this
spring an influx of air force families' into Gode-
rich could be/expected."
Herein we' read a rather strong indictment
of things as they are in Clinton. We also
read a strong warning to this town when the
smooth surface of Highway 8 leads the com-
muter easily to the "advantages" of the county
town,
If the statements included in this item are
true—that is, if they were made by an official
, whose opinions were based upon known facts—
then Clinton must indeed review her past, rem-
edy her present and take strong steps toward
the preservation of her future,
Take advantage of your potential industries.
Make it known to those in authority the poten-
tialities you have for 'industry."
The four-county organization will make an
implement with which. Huron, can proceed to
work. There can be no lagging behind in this
race for "jobs, people and pay envelopes".
HOMEY SMELLS
I think the smell of sun-dried clothes
Is sweeter far than any rose,
And new baked bread set out to cool
Fresher than lilies in a pool.
The odor of an' apple pie
Like blossoms drifting on the sky,
The clean mouth-watering taste of dill
Like green grass on a sheltered hill.
I dream of Kashmir's lovely vale,
,:,.Of dog footed violets by the trail,
Old bark and moss and rotting logs,
Of fresh dug peat in Irish bogs.
"I love the taste upon my lips
Of the warm sun on deep-sea ships,
Of paint and tar and salty brine, *.
And hulls below the waterline.
Clove-apples in a shut-up room,
A field of clover out in bloom,
Split hardwood drying in a pile,
Moss on a rough old country stile.
Plain homey smells I know yet they
Give us so much from day to day.
