COME TO THE FAIR EVERYONE is corning to the Fair. Rural people will be able to make it this year because if the weather holds out good till Saturday, most of the seeding will be in, and the hay isn't quite ready yet. Town people will be able to come, -because the good weather coaxes people out of houses like a magnet. The children will be there, be- cause there are horges to see, baby calves to stroke, rides to spend dimes on, and a pet show to see. Everyone who can manage at all will come to. Clinton Spring Show. There are added at- tractions, two bands, a Dairy Princess Contest, farm machinery on display; games of chance, parades, baby lambs, prize stock, Western Show horses, dainty ponies, the best in dairy and beef cattle and a stage show at night. Most of all people will come to the fair to meet old friends and greet relatives from miles around. S,ee you at the Fair on Saturday. MAYBE NOT SO IMPORTANT FARMERS may not seem tobe . very im- portant in the economy, and we are continually being advised that everY year there are fewer of them; every year the farm vote is worth lees; production is too high; farmers should get off the farm. All of theSe things are old news to the farm dweller. ' But for all of that, the farmer gets a good deal of attention on the Canadian scene. Recently the Financial Post warned manu- facturers that their product had better be pod if they intend to sell to farmers this year. The Post said that the farm buying Mood is cautious; car sales seemed slower, aPpliencee Were slew in rural areas. The late wet spring is given as the reason: Li Other. wardS, when the weather affects the fanner., this affects Many other people as well. , Also, We note that the federal government is going to Make an investigation of farm:equip- ' merit prices. Is it possible that the lower priced machinery tieing imported from overseas, also has some effect upon sales of machines built closer to Wine, and have caused some concern in higher place's? ' THE LEGION AS A SERVIiT CLIAt WHAT DOES a veteran's organization do when there are no more wars? Cart it make a valid contribution to society or does it becorne a twilight club where members sit in lengthen- ing shadows, contemplate the lost days of youth and, perhaps, add a few more white lies to their tales of battle? On May 29th at Windsor, the eighteenth biennial convention of the Canadian Legion came up with the answers. And from the pre- sent day record of Canada's largest veterans' organization, the big answer apparently is that an organization, like a veteran, can rehabilitate itself. It can adjust to peace and develop on its own peacetime initiative. Legion branches in Clinton and district are proof of this very thing. Among the contributions which the 242,000- member Legion is now making is the $3 million it has invested in low-cost housing for elderly Canadians. These units—some bungalows, some apartments—are located in some 12 centres across Canada and have been built by Legion branches ,or provincial commands. So far the local branch has not tackled this. The Legion's service bureau provides in- dividual assistance to any veteran, dependent, widow or orphan. It has contributed $60,000 in the past three years to the development of track and field athletes. A comprehensive physical fitness program known as "Operation Star- Shooter" has been recently introduced for boys and girls from nine years old and up. While keenly interested in the physical wel- fare of youngsters, the Legion also stresses the intelieetuel. development. Each year it contrie butes over $65,000 in scholarships and bursaries. Concentrating on character-building aotivi- ties, the Legion 'has some 8,000 Scouts and Cubs under its sponsorship. The .number of boys Play- ing team sports under Legion guidance is esti- mated at 100,000. Locally the Legion looks after Guides and •Cubs. There has been a. tremendous increase in Legion community programs within recent years. In centre after centre, the organization which once was regarded as an old soldiers' club has become the hub of community activity, a place where the old, the young and the in-between find something of interest. Instead of retreating into the twilight, the veterans in the Canadian Legion have come out into the sunlight of their communities. And in so doing, they have made their organization big- ger and more vital than ever. Relax mitt Live "THE DAY has gone," claims the Canadian Highway Safety Council; "when the motorist on vacation must scurry like a hounded hare over the highway." "Relax!" is the holiday highway slogan to- day, and the Council has issued a plea to all vacationing motorists to drive for pleasure, 'allot plenty of time for a trip, stop often and, most important, forget about jockeying for position in traffic. "Motoring can be fun," the Council claims, "but not if it's frantic." '-7 m-.F.1,361110 SUGAR and SPICE 14 (By W. (Bill) B. T. Smiley) This is the •time of year when hundred's of thousands of young people across the land have one foot in the air, ready to take a big step. They are the. graduates. It's •a little sad for us 'older folks in June, as the graduation pictures flower and the yearbooks sprout. It means the old vulture with the scythe has put another notch in our particular post, But is is comforting to know that the reserves, fresh, strong and well equipped, are being rushed up to support the tattered, weary, front-line troops in the battle of life. We need them. Clinton Newt:sr-Record THE CLINTON NEW ERA THE CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Amalgamated 1924 Published every Thursday at the Heart of Htiron COuritY Clinton, Ontario PdpUtation 3,000 A.

Finishing public school, and just busting to get into high school and be real teen-agers, is the Grade 8 gang. No nostalgia for them. They liked public school, but that's kid stuff now, and the sooner they're out, the happier they'll be. Far the boys, it means they will no longer be treated as children, which is the bane of their existence. Now they'll be students. It means' they can start sneaking into the poolroom, shav- ing, giving their parents a little more lip, and getting their hair cut the way they want it. It al- so means pimples, paying girls' way to the show, and the first, and worst, experierice with love, But they don't know that, so they're as happy as turnips. * It's evert more exciting for the girls leaving public school. For some reason, girls in Grade S are a foot taller than boys in Grade 8. This makes love affairs, in which girls are interested even in Grade 8 rather awkward. Move rag on means they'll be mixing with real BOYS, their own size, who treat them as members of the opposite sex, and not with stunted demons who wrestle them, push them, trip them, punch them arid pock them. High school graduates are not so ecstatic ,about leaving, In fact they're almost reluctant, in Many fttet. They'd never admit it to their parents, but they've had a ball for the latt feet or five years. Now the cord must be cut.

One of the obvious ones' is to deal directly with what appears to be number one on the obstacle course which was once the main street of Clin ton. We refer, .of course, to the cominereial vehicles of various wholesale concerns which double park outside of the establishment to which they are delivering, We ere aware of only one businests block where this could be deem- ed at all necessary, This is the west 'side of Albert Street from Huron to Rattenbury Streets, ,and as a matter of fact only the south half of that. We are also inclin- ed to wonder if 4=qt lane could not be done to the 'alley" be- hind these stores to make double parking by delivery vehicles un- ••••••••••:~a*r•ahranprovno.nanernatinovro• INSURANCE J.
