I'm a working girl, so saving isn't the easiest thing in the world. But I've found how to make it easier . . . I use the "Boyars" 2-Account Plan. I like the way it keeps my saving and my spending quite separate. I use a Personal Chequing Account to pay bills. My Savings Account is strictly for saving. I'm really' get- ting ahead, now I've stopped dipping into savings. They're building up, earn interest too . . it works! THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA ,THE SANK WITH 1,000 FRONT DOORS Clinton Branch .......... 0. L. Engelstad, Manager Goderich Branch ..... H. G. Spring, Manager We have heard boys and girls under 14, talking of the future they hope to find for themselves, and their thoughts revolve around shorter work weeks, higher pay, security and pensions. Some way to earn a living without working hard. Seldom do we hear a young person talk- ing of a future he hopes to carve out of the wilderness of the modern business world. This attitude has not originated with the children. It has rubbed off from adults; from television plays (which are fantasy, indeed); to the general feeling in the world to-day that the nation owes us something in return for our existence. We've even heard young people in their early twenties, feeling that since they paid into the unemployment insurance fund for a couple of years that they "deserve" some- thing back. Good heavens! as quality is concerned. That this standard of execellence has been built up, is a credit to the farmers of the county, and to the leader- ship they have received, both through their own elected men, and through the services of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Essentially a farm show, the Seed Fair has items of interest to all people; whether urban or country dwellers, Special items for the ladies; animated displays from the high school classes in agriculture and a general fair-dike atmosphere makes the scene attrac- tive to hundreds of people in all walks of life. Though the bales of hay and plates of grain may prove a bit of a clean-up problem after the day is over, the pungent smells whet the memory of those of us who once lived on the farm. Huron County Seed Fair is building a tradition of excellence; a tradition which we expect will live long.

L. COLQUHOUN, Publisher • WILMA D. DINNIN, Editor Fourteen years ago the first seed fair Was held in Huron County by the Soil and Crop Improvement Association, This week the event will go on in its customary form in the collegiate here. Expanded last year to a three-day affair, the 1691 seed show will feature for the first time an evening's variety entertainment. This is the particular project of the Junior Farm- ers of the county, and ,is the only part of the fair for which an admission charge is made. Promotion of better seeds, better know- ledge of what worth better seeds can be to the farmer, and general information con- cerning soils and crops has ever been the main object of seed fairs. The Huron Fair is 'considered among the best of such events. One farmer who has ex- hibited here and won laurels for his efforts, reports that practically any exhibit at Huron Seed Fair would place quite favourably at some other fairs he had attended, in so far "It is scarcely possible to organize hard education in a soft society." That quotation is from a speech delivered by a professor of education in Toronto during a three-day conference of the Federation of Women Teachers' Association of Ontario. . "In Canada we spend four percent of the gross national product on education." That quotation was from the same speak- er. We would be a poor bunch, indeed, if we placed the entire responsibility for educating our young, upon the shoulders of those men and women whom we hire to actually teach them in the schools, If some of our youngsters turn out to be "poor risks," refusing to accept the known re- sults of carelessness, laziness and general in- attention, ,then some of the blame rests upon us.

SUGAR and SPICE By Bill Smiley rolZMNIIII her mother a roaring Irish temper, and some day she's going to set fire to the house or murder her brother with an axe. Actual flames have been seen to shoot from her eyes while in this mood, The fellow who marries her with- out ever having seen her in a rage will get a surprise that I'd love to be there to see. There's another thing. She's what her mother calls a "slop". Her brother is one of these cool kids who can wear an outfit through a swamp and come out looking like Little Lord Fauntleroy, Not so Kim, She could be placed, all clean- ed up, in a hermetically sealed chamber of highly polished glass and emerge in twenty minutes looking as though she'd been working the night shift in a coal mine. It's fantastic and it almost drives her mother insane. * * If she wears leotards, they are wrinkled and baggy, She loses approximately one button a day from her clothing. She a,u.ffs her new shoes. She falls in the mud in her new coat. She spills gravy on her new skirt. She gets water colours all over her fresh blouse. And she does it all with the most maddening ease and unconcern. Along with this goes another feature that keeps us all on edge. Kim is constitutionally unable to move slowly. She starts down the stairs like somebody heading for an air raid shelter, and is as like as not to wind up in a heap at the bottom. She never saunters, walks or strolls. She bobs. She dances. She springs. She bounds. As a result, if she isn't falling down, she's knocking something over. * * * She has always been a hor- ror to eat with. For years she didn't eat enough to keep a butterfly stout. Just sat there, mucking things about on her plate, pushing pickled beets on- to the tablecloth, or knocking over her milk. New she eats like a healthy child, but it's worse than ever. When she's cutting her meat, we all duck our heads and hunch our shoulders. Anything is liable to fly in any direction, from a dill pickle into the' but- ter, to a baked potato into the pie. And she still scores with her milk, whenever there is a 25 Years Ago CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, February 27, 1936 A favorite walk during the past few weeks has been up Vinegar Hill to view the snow which had been piled up on either side of the road just over the brow of the hill by the many exertions of the snowplow. John Young, Morris Town- ship farmer, 'had his arm badly injured in an accident on,• the farm. His removal to Clinton Hospital was delayed by snow blockades, but he was reported to have a fighting chance for life. Amos Castle got a pleasant surprise, a gift of a box of No. A 1 oranges from Realto, sent by his nephew Earl C. Beesley, Mr. Beesley has a fruit farm in the foothills, Miss Wilhelmine Trewartha, Clinton, was a •guest at the home of Miss S. Acheson, Hol- mesville. Joe Murphy of the Royal Canadian Corps Signals, Camp Borden, spent the weekend with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Murphy, Stanley Township. 10 Years Ago CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, March 1, 1951 As part of Canada's huge de- fence effort, Clinton RCAF St:- ton was in the throes of a large expansion programme, including barrack blocks, mess accommodation, etc. Construe- ion of a six-roomed school was well under way. Bruce Shackleton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Shackleton, Dungannon', was drowned while logging on the Courtenay River, Vancouver Island. Fire protection for the town- ships of Hullett, McKillop and Tuckersmith was discussed at a special meeting in Seaforth, D. W. Cornish, proprietor of Clinton Electric Shop, attended a business conference in Tor- onto, Miss Ann Shaddock spent the weekend with her friend Miss Gail Manning, Londesboro. Worn out with age and long service, the 94-year-old clock in the court room of Huron County Courthouse 'was re- placed by a modem clock. fresh tablecloth. Aside from these slight de- fects, however, she's a delight- ful creature to have in the house. She's wise as a witch. She has a 'sunny nature. She's stubborn but forgiving. She's loving. She's comical in a com- pletely unconscious way. She's wholehearted in everything she does. She reads like fury, and right now, she shows signs of be- coming a writer. We're always finding stories that she's writ- ten, about the house. Here, for example, is a bit from the latest one: "I am Rogoet Hastier I come from France and I wish I was back there. My father is an unhappy man who works in a small smoking store, with bil- liards. My mother is cruel to everyone. She is drunken and mean. She whips us all and fights with my father. I HATE HER. My brothers and sisters are Rotax, my bratty brother of 5, Fessmick, my brother of 19, Parlentrome, another bro- ther, my favorite one. He loves me dearly, I love him dearly. And last is my sister Maral- ienna. I am not very pretty, but I can make myself lovely if I feel like it." And so on. A tough life, eh? Other fathers of daughters will excuse me for going on like this. We love our sons just as mach, but it's a dif- ferent relationship, because they're males and not so goofy. All I know is that I wouldn't trade my ten-year-old female child for a new Cadillac, four billion dollars and a one-way ticket to heaven. INSURANCE H. E.

ONTARIO FARM PRODUCTS MARKETING BOARD THE CLINTON NEW ERA Est. 1865 Authorized as Our daughter, Kim, was ten years old today. Nobody grows as quickly as children. It seems such a brief time since she was a fat, dimpled infant. Next thing I know, she'll be telling me she's going to have a baby. It's good to have a daughter. When our second child was on the way, I'd have been happy with another son, but I've al- ways been glad it turned out to be a girl. A girl-child opens a whole new chapter in life for fathers. And mothers who don't have a daughter are mis- sing something important. So get cracking, you people who have only a backyard full of boys, and produce a small fe- male. Ours has cost us a lot of money, given us some bad scar- es, and inspired many a head- ache. And there's promise of plenty of the same in the fu- ture. But she has also been a source of constant joy and year pleasure in the last decade. She's an odd mixture — fiery and romantic one moment, realistic and sensible the next. I guess that's the woman in her. The soft, lithe dumpling who used to toddle over to me and put up her arms to be picked up, hugged and kissed, has vanished, alack. Now, when she favours me with an em- brace, it's like being attacked by a young kangaroo. She does- n't tackle anymore, she leaps and pounces. She seems to have four legs and several arms. * * * On the credit side, our dau- ghter has beautiful. auburn hair, huge brown eyes and a fabulous grin that lights up a whole room when she turns it on. She does well at school. She can skate and swim. She plays the piano and the rec- order. She has a joyous eager nature, a great excitement a- bout life. But we must be honest. While good-natured on the whole, she has inherited from The addresses on each letter and parcel should show N the full name of the person who is to get it. 1 the correct apartment number, street address, rural route number or post office box number II City, town or village, and postal zone number, where necessary.
