"SSE AtIlING OFF THE BUMPS" is
a time-honoured practice in these
,parts . . . For those who are not
so young any more, we Would ex-
plain that this is the phrase the.
youngsters use when they talk
about the first night's skating . .
When the ice is first ma.de, it
bear's little resemblance to the
smooth ice which is gradually de-
veloped . . . and so when it is
first cold enough, the arena com-
mittee of the Clinton Lions, Club,
openrtlietibott"ta-all-skaters...':•-e
and it's free, for the one night
only . . . Probably not too many
adults knew the ice was ready . ,
but the junior grapevine works
swiftly, and there was a good turn-
out Tuesday night to do the an-
nual "skating off the bumps" . . * * *
BY THE YVAY, THE WORD IS
official . . firSt public skating at
the rink will be on Friday and
Saturday' nights of this week from
-8.15 to 10. p.m. . ,
* *
WE'VE OFTEN PONDERED THE
incongriuty of the name "Carling
Terrace" given to 'one of the
streets in Wingham. . . After all
the northern town is a part of
Huron, and is covered by the
C.T.A. . Now the Kincardine
News editor suggests the town
names one of their other streets,
"Temperance Street". . .
*
WE'RE GE'llTING USED TO SEE-
ing all kinds of vehicles on OM;
ten's main street . , . They range
all the way from huge tractor
trailer diesel jobs . . . right down
tc the MG, VW, and the pretty
NC (Nash Cosmopolitan) , . But
-recently we looked out our .win-.
dow, and there, nestled under the
canopy at the Roxy Theatre, was
a 'molasses truck . . . Great long
thing it Was, 'looking more like a
gasoline truck ..than anything . . .
and on its side, the name Was,
"Canada West Indies Molasses.
Company Limited" . . Made us
wish for a south seas' holiday, so
'it did . .

Monday Holiday
Not Universal;
Some Dissention
Some confusion seems to exist
in town with regard to the No-
vember 11 holiday. Following de-
cision of Town Council, and pro-
claimed as such on page 12 of
this issue, the official holiday will
last only until noon.
However, members of the Leg-
ion have been . expecting that the
whole daY would be' a,holiday, and
are approaching Council with a
letter of request again this even-
ing. The letter would have been
presented on Tuesday night; if the
council meeting had not been post-
poned owing to the ill health of
Mayor W. J. Miller.
Federal employees - that is
workers in the post office, RCAF
personnel, etc., have a full day
holiday by dominion statute. Pro-
vincial workers, and civilians, how-
ever, have not the privilege under
government decree. The matter is
left upeto each individual municip-
ality.
According to Legion spokesmen,
this is the first time in eight years
'Monday evening sari'V the re-
sumption of Farm Forum meetings
throughout thr province in farm.
homes. Groups gather together to
listen to the radio broadcasts, and
then through discussion periods,
come to conclusions with regard
to their own opinion of the subject.
This year will be a banner one
for . Farm' Forums in this area,
when they will have first oppor-
tunity in Canada,, to watch the
forum topic of the week presented
through the mediern of television.
CI INX-TV is taking on the project
in consultation with CBC, and the
experiment will be tried out early
in 1958.

(By Mrs. I. Merrill)
The SS No. 4 Goderich Town:,
ship Farm Forum met at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thomp-
son for the first meeting of this
season. Twelve ,members attenf
ded.
The topic for -discussion was
"National Farm Policy."' It was
decided that the most fundamental
problem in connection with our
particular type of farming is to
make a total family income which
is large enough to make the far-
mer feel he is receiving his fair
share of the national income, so
that his standard of living is on a
level with that of othet industries.
