Senior 'Public School Winners
Winner of the senior public school class of the Legion-sponsored public speaking
contest last week, was William McKim (left), who spoke of the Yukon, "Canada's
Eleventh Province," Bill owns a square inch of the territory he told about, and he was
able to make his speech a lively interesting presentation. With him are Lorraine
Wood, RCAF Station Clinton (third) and ,Borden McRae, Clinton, (second). Dciugicis
Thorndike and his wife Etta pose with the young speakers. The Thorndikes have guid-
ed the speaking contest through its infancy stages when only a half-dozen speakers
took part, to this year when 28 speakers competed, (News-Record Photo)

The Editor,
Clinton News'Record.
As you aaYt the ratepayers have
been strangely apathetic. over the
important issue ..of the Post Office
problem. This is likely because.
we think, "What'S the use. We .
do anything anyway. The
council has the say.-Why worry?' •
Wrongl We the ratepayers 'have
a perfect right to Voice an opinion,
So We say, 1'UT a TO A VOTEI.:
as was done in the case of the
old town hall. Once again, had
Judgement is threatening to do
away with one of the very few
good-looking buildings in Clinton.
Why tear that .dawn and put up a
Squat ugly structure on another
lot somewhere?
The Post Office is RIGHT
where it is in the town. If neces-
sary 'buy from :an owner or two.
at the..4outh and enlarge the pre-
sent building. If you must tear,
something down, by all means at-
tack the awful entrance we. have
to use. at present, Make a fine
sweeping north entrance, -open and
dignified. The present entrance is
a disgrace, and we have to jump
a river to cross the street to get
there. It's a disgrace .all right,.
First give the -ratepayers a vote
on the matter. Well, that is ,.the
opinion of one of the taxpayers'
anyway, for what it is worth.
Thank you,
• "MAC".

Under the L.C.A.
If Huron county were under the
L.C.A., hotels, restaurants and
clubs could apply for liquor licen-
ses. Liquor stores and brewers'
retail stores would be opened ar-
bitrarily by the Liquor Control
Board, in Huron towns where
business promised profits. In due
time beverage rooms, men's and
women's, would also very probably
be licensed.
How much liquor flows in L.C.A.
counties? As of March 31, 1957,
there were the following legal li-
quor outlets—all outside of Huron,
Government stores 210, Brewers'
retail stores 216, taverns 170, pub-
ic houses 346, hotels 946, clubs 489,
steamships, wine stores and rail-
ways 56. In all more than 2,400.
In addition Ontario has 19 brew-
eries,
Do we want any of these? The
C.T.A. has kept them all out of our
county, and will continue to do so.
