THOUGH MANY people go through life
looking for something bad to grumble about—
., :and many of them find it, tho—there is really
a good many more things to be joyous over.
Take for instance, th;e delightful way in
which the weather cleared up for Christmas
Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Now
where could you have gotten better days, even
If you had been given the opportunity to choose?
ONE LONG L
014 THE FOLLOWING pages, there is a
great long list of things that have happened in
Clinton and community throughout the past 52
weeks. Reading that long list, we come to
realize the many, many things that have hap-
pened to us, and the people we know best.
In Clinton some great changes have been
made, new stores opened, new businesses begun,
new 'babies born, old residents passed. away,
Successes in the lives of students, municipal ac-
complishments. It is always good to look back,
FIRST AND FOREMOST among our wishes
for people we know is that peace throughout
the .world may come a little closer somehow
during 1959. With 'allthe wisdom of the ages
for our leaders to call upon in the negotiatfilg
which lies .ahead between nations, surely they.
will be able to avoid a catastrophe such as -an-
other great war would prove,
Second, we wish for all peoples, to become
more friendly with each other in every-day
living. We hope for progress in the adjustment
AND FOR OUR town, we hope that the
dream of having streets named and houses num-
bered, may become a reality in 1959. This pro-
ject has been put off much too long.
We hope for success to the Scout. Hall
project, •at least that they get started on'the new
building, next year.
We hope, too, that the 12 rental houses
Which have been promised for. Clinton are only
a start in a continued building of homes. The
And as another for instance, consider4 the
lovely gifts you received for Christmas. Can
you honestly say that you deserved to receive
even half of them?
When it comes right down to it, the people
in this fine vv,orld, are pretty fine, too, 'and we
all should be very happy to be able to live in
Canada in the midst of the finest part of the
world, with all of our plenty and surpluses and
TV sets, etc,
00K BACK
and on the experience of the past, build toward
a better future,
For Clinton we forsee some great and
wonderful improvernents the months to come,
Many things we would like to see happen, which
would make our town a more pleasant place to
visit, and more pleasant to live in.
With continued effort on the part of all of
the people, and those in charge of groups,
especially, a great deal can be accomplished
in 1959.
of races one to the other, so that' in the near
future, the colour of skin need make no dif-
ference to the opporturiities for happy living
of any person in this world.
Third, we wish for all of us, the ability to
be satisfied with what we have, so that the
desire for more, be not always with us. We
would have people realize the great number of
good things that are theirs, and after the will
to work has achieved, them, at least in part,
that they be 'satisfied with what they have gained
for themselves.
need for rental homes is great, and is a long
way from being fulfilled,
We look forward 'to an early start on the
construction of the retarded children's hospital-
school, not only because the building promises
well ,for the prosperity of the area, but because
of the great need of such an institution for the
children it will serve.
These are a few of the many things we
wish for a better community life. We hope
they will be available in 1959.
