ANOTI EIt CHAMBER YEAR
AGAIN IT IS time to gather forces :Por the
1957«8 ghamber of Commerce year.
Clinton is rather unique in this area, inrso-
far. •as Chamber work goes, since the/ town
boasts' one of two ' such groups in the County,
Zurich is the only other municipality•with
Ohairrber of Commerce organized arid affiliated
'with the provincial Chamber.
Interest in the work here, and belief in the
,necessity for a •Chamber 'in the town' has
strengthened , over the past few, months. The
Chamber now 'has numerous. comrnittments
ward annual projects', without which the town
Would be the poorer.,
Besides the financial end of the Chamber
i work, which .after all is not sa great, there is a
great deal to be done; and enthusiasms• to be
aroused in a number of different fields. Same
areas, such as better municipal government prac-
tices; deyelopinent of awareness, in Clinton of
.the industrial capacitres and needs of the town;
support of town council in the projects such as
better street-ighting, street sign erection.,"house
numbering, stopping of long tin* • parking, etc.,
are one in which the active Chamber .can do
much,
Without the Chamber acting for the gublic
spirited people i i the eemn'nunity, such th'ngs
as the • apple day and fruit show, the Chrismaa.
home decoration contest, the Christmas -time_
main street decoration, would suffer.
Next week, memberships and tiefcets.. for the
annual dinner meeting will go on sal, Every
1956 member, will be contacted, and asked to
Support the movement again, Any other persons
who would like to get behind, this work of the
Chamber, may obtain membership .and a dinner,
ticket from the secretary, or any of the direct -
055.
This business of Chamber membbership and
whol1e-hearted support and participation in the
worOis vital to the job of 'keeping Clinton one i
of the .most modern and forward looking towns'
in Western .Ontario: It's up 'to you' to do all
you can.
FARMERS: THE. CAPITALISTS
EDITORS OF THE rural.Scerte bav&,a great
skill in expanding big words into a hundred or
so' smaller ones, and thus describing, Very well.
the meaning of terms with which we have be-
come iso familiar that•. their basic meaning • as
lost.
•
Take capitalist for instance. • Stop for a.
moment. and 'think what •that wordbrings, to
]nine. Doeg it mean to you::the 'rich, the. mill--
• aonaires who hire -for the least -necessary, and -w
rveiid a whip to keep the poor at work; or doe's.:
it mean to you the shareholders .of big compan-
les, who, are forever, fighting agnst;the'•work=
ing man Who is trying• to increase his •takehome

Then consider this description of capital :and

Js
All •weath has 1#:origin in -the natural F•
resources which nature has.:depdsited on the
earth.
Homan understaadin g .and human ener"
-
gy are. required to tap these resources and
convert them into things'• useful to -mart.
Much of^'the wealth, : so created.; is con-
' sumed'rmmediately, ,but some, of it is saved
`for futhre use.,•
Saved` wealth can • be -'accumulated and
invested in -tools and appliances for creating
more wealth. '
Wealth, so invested,- is calle fa capital
and those who accumulate and invest it are
capitalists.
Man is a tool -using. animal. It is his
ability to devise tools and to use„them that
.has lifted him' above all other creat-
tires,'"and-has made him the lord of creation
The amount of wealth a man can create
by the use of efficient tools and equipment
is many times greater than lie could cr`eate.
with only the tools which nature :gave him.
But tools and -•equipment .are capital.
They are the product .of tabor which; has:
been saved 'and cone"-rted into something
of lasting value. They are capital and_ the,
man who puts his savings. into• themis a'
capitalist.
• As such, he is a benefactor of the hum -
man race, for he creates more wealth than
he consuines, and will ,leave the world rich,'
er than he found it. .
The man who penned this description goes
on, "The farmer is essentially ,a capitalist.. He
more than most men, saves a portion of his in-
come and invests it in his business, thus adding ,
to ti he_ productive capacity of the country. He
has little in ,conunon with the worker whose
sole ambition is to draw the highest possible
cash wages every day, spend -them as he gets
them, and expects• the government and his em
"pioyer to look after him in his old age.
.• "Attempts are being made to enlist the.
farmers'`a'n ong those who share this prejudice,
and, unfortunately, some self-appointed farm
leaders,.are allowing themselves to be used iii .,
support.of these attempts. If` the fermets• are'
wise they will have nothing to do ' with thes'E
blink -would -be -leaders of the blind. They will'
not forget that they themselves are capitalists,
that an attack on 'the capitalist system is, an '
attack on the farmers' independence; and that
in, countries where capitalism is abolished, the--
• farmers are, deprived of their land And -reduced
to the status of serfs,"
"Oh,, TO 'BE IN-
SUB 'ZERO temperatures of such sustained
intensification are rather rare in southern Ontar-
io. ` During the past two.reasonable winters,
we've rather gained the opinion that tempest
ures and weather' were fast changing -into thoge
of lands nearer the equator In fact, it seemed
reasonable to postpone indefinitely, any attempt
to move south.
• .However, though we would not finish our • . •
tilile quotation with the famous, "Oh, to be in
England," especially since, the gasoline shortages.
over there ---when the thermometer goes way -
below zero, 'we begin to dream' of being almost
anywhere else than here.:

LOOK AGAIN
P
A CARDINAL. rule practised. by all pistol
marksmen, when they handle a gun, is to look
first to see if it is loaded, then look again to
see that they haven't made a mistake. It has
undoubtedly prevented countless accidents. i

traffic, a similar rule could save • pedestrian
lives, especially if the "looks" are to the left,
with a "look",to• the right inn between.

Crop Report

(By A. S. BOLTON, Assistant
Agricultural Representative
for Huron County)
"This fast week has been the
coldest period so far this winter.
Farmers, are taking advantage of
the open road's to attend annual
meetings and other regular meet-
ings of agricultural organizations
in tlib county:
"During; the 'past two weeks
farriers have been adding up their
accounts for '1956 and the North
and Soath-sitrron Farm Manage-
ment Associations met on Thurs-
day and Friday to analyse their
records for.. the past year. The
demand for new farm account
books has :been very high and to
date approximately 200 have been.
distributed from this office.
"Several farmers in the county
have made inquiries concerning
1957 seed grain. This is a wise
move as good, seed may be in short
supply because of the poor harvest,
season in' 1956." •
The Bible Today
Collectors items of the future
.may be the terra applied to Bibles
now being used by IGY personnel.
As a much travelled book the
Bible has been:circling the globe
from east to west for generations.
It has been used ' inthe environs
of the North Pole for many years.
Due to "Deepfreeze II", the. cur-
rent expedition to the South Pole
in connection with the activities
of the International Geographical
year popularly known as "Ica',
this book .has now entered Ant-
arctica.
In addition to the two main
bases five outlying stations are
scattered over this area, of the
earth least known to civilized man.
In one of these sub -stations 15
.men will live right at the • South
Pole where, as far as is known,
only two trail parties have ever
set foot. This `band of Volunteers
will brave the isolation of a wild
Antarctic Winter malting scientific
observations, calling the South
Pole "home" for nearly a year
and a half.
They gave, as, have other swell
outposts, a Lectern Bible with the
name of their station especially
engraved in gold on the cover and
a personal copy for each of the
staff provided by •the American
Bible Society.
A letter of appreciation for
these Bibles recently reached the
New York headquarters of the
Society, •

Thanks, Marsh, You'll notice
in our story of Mr, Williams in
this issue, we have given you the
honorary title of "Western Cana-

Your,niemory of .Clinton is quite
good, Main changes here are a
reduction in the number of hotels.
Where you remember the Swartz
and .Spooner hotels, we paw have
a vacant lot; the Ferndale res-
taurant, MoLaren's . photo studio
and the Jervis Apartm_ ent house.
Cooper's Grocery is now Aiken
Bros. luggage and leather .goods
store, and they followed their
father, W. M. Aiken in the same
b'usiness. The _S;tavely . Building
is still. there, and to it has been
added a' very good public library.
Flarran's House, that you recall
is still there. Now it .is run by
Roy Tyndall ..as anap'artment
house. Mr. Tyndall bought ` it
from the estate of the late Col,
IL T. Rance.

rntich in :area and recently .had'
been made *Very modern.. Irwin'«
