ALTHOUGH WE HAD READ A
history of ..early newspapers in
Clinton as prepared by two early
publishers , ., , we had forgotten
,that any existed prior to the News -
Record, which was established in
1881, .and the New Era which was
established in 18$5 . , . However,
a copy of the Clinton Courier was
brought .to us this week. which
set us to searching memories and
old records once again . . . We
find that the Courier was estab-
lished about 1860, and died some
time in 1864 . •. . A sister, paper,
the New Briton, also died in the
same year .. Remnants of both
were put ,together to form the
New Era ... and it was published
until in 1924 it joined forces with.
the News -Record .. , Lots of fun
reading about the old times, but
it takes up a lot of time, too . .

AND SWITCHING FROM 96
years ago until the present; We
undertook an airplane tour of the

at home in the air than T ani

we made . From Frucefield to
the Blue Water Highway ... north
over the lake, looking at the fronts
of all those lovely lake cottages
for a change , . slow turn over
"balmy" Bayfield ... then inland
again to Clinton and a circle
around here , . . Surprised how
clean and bright and new our
town looks from the an.. , From
about 1200 feet up, the smoke

Initial plans for a badly needed
Scout Hall ;For the Town :of Clint

ton is fortunate in having an ex-

Mg of the Scouts and Cubs, but
there is no place for them to meet
in the winter time.
Last year the Cubs met in the
auditorium of the Clinton Public
School, This fall increased classes
there snake it necessary to set up
a kindergarten in daytime hours,
and this makes it difficult to use
the same room in the evening for
Cubs. The boys moved to 'the Leg-
ion ion Hall forr a short time, batt
found not enough room there.
Then they went to the council
chamber, and now have the use
of the auditorium of the town hall.
But this will be useful only in
warts weather, for there is no
heat available for upstairs.
What will happen in cold wen?
ther the leaders ?lon't ;known,
"i'he Scouts met in the .Fish and
Game Club- House at Alma Grove
last season, but that is not too
satisfactory, and this year, they,
too are making use of the town

are sponsored by the Clinton
Branch, Canadian Legion, are us.
ing that hall three nights a week.
If a Scout hall could be built, this
space could be used by . the girls
grc$up as well. There are enough
activities in these four youth
groups to make use of a hall six
nights a week. •
Leadership for these youngsters
is difficult to obtain. The two
Cub Packs are now in good hands,
but more leaders are neededfor
the Scouts. At present they have
only.one man who is hole to go to
UNICEFPIanon Hallowe'en
For Aid to Europe Children
This year on October 31, -child-
ren of Clinton will be zinging
door -bells with requests for treats,
and adding .the call, "Shell out
for UNICEF". This is the second
consecutive year that the Clinton.
Ministerial Association has spon-
sored the UNICEF collection at
Hallowe'en.
'UNICEF means the United Na-
tions Children's Fund. Money
raised by UNICEF goes toward
the purchase of vaccines, milk, vit-
amins, and many other things to
help Make and keep children heal-
thy. Underprivileged children
throughout the world share in
these funds.
Last year, the first time that
the UNICEF plan was followed
here, Clinton collected $190.26.
Each dollar raised andsent from.
Canada by UNICEF is matched
with two dollars by the govern-
ment of the country being helped,
This triples the value of the
UNICEF plan.
This Hallowe'en it is hoped the
gift can be a great deal larger.
Plan with your children to take
part in the UNICEF plan. Min-
isters will visit the schools at
Clinton and RCAF Station Clic-
ton to outline the plan, and to
get it organized.
camp with them on Saturdays,
Warrant Officer Cliff Parker is
able to take on this duty, but
would be happy if someone could
take the odd Saturday on for him,
Experience in Scouting is not nec-
essary—the
ec-essary.the present leaders wilt
be glad to help train anyone inter-
ested in the work,
Frank Van Altena is Scoutrnast•
er, and Percy. Brown, who return-
ed* to Clinton this summer is go-
ing to continue work with the
Scouts, However, neither one is
available on Saturdays, -
The Scouts and Cubs are spon-
sored by the Clinton Lions Club
under a group committee whose
chairtnan is Harvey Johnston, RR
5, Clinton. John Lavis is treasurer
of the group and Dick Dixon is
secretary.
There are 50 to 60 Cubs in Clin-
ton at present, and when they be.
come Scouts it will be necessary
to have more leaders for the sen-
ior group.
The Ladies Auxiliary to the
Scouts and Cubs is in need of sup.
port. Mrs, Toni Darling, who Was
treasurer of the former organiza-
tion, reports a sum of money in
the treasury, but no ladies to carry
on the work. The Auxiliary in the
past has been active in catering
for a father and son banquet for
the Scouts and Cubs and their fa.
thers. Mso they provided hot choc-
olate for the boys working on Ap-
ple Day, and lunch for the Dist-
rict Executive meetings. The lad-
ies also worked at raising money
to help support the Scout and Cub
groups.
This general outline of the sit-
uation with regard to the Scout.
Cub, Guide and Brownie work in
town points out need for leaders,
for interest on the part of mothers
and the immediate need for a
Scout Hall.

Collect Over $300
On Apple Day
Apple Day was carried out in
town on Saturday by the Cubs
and Scouts, ender the guidance of
Cubmaster Thomas Oliver, Total
of $326.51 which was received by
the youthful salesmen, was con-
siderably more than that raised
by the same event last year.
Top prize for salesmanship am-
ong the Cubs was Billy IV1cCall,
who turned in $16,42 in the 7 hour
working day. Sales began at 9
ails. and lasted until 5 o'clock. Top
Seller among the .Scouts was Jef-
frey Dixon, turning in $19.87.
Total collections for the Scouts
Was $123.39 and for the Cubs,
$20,3,12.
Apple Day is the triajor fund-
raising event of the Scout and
Cub year. The constitution of these
groups does not allow a great vas-
iety of methods of raising money,
They are confined to a very few
types of„rojedts. The major jots
of the movement is in training the
bays themselves,
