MAIN DRAWBACK TO Island
Living as we found when visit-
ing relatives there, is the long
distance between here and there
. . Best part is the blueberry
picking, even including the stiff
back which developed, and still
deals out twinges from time to
tune .

WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH
blueberries? Well, we had blue-
berry pie, blueberry muffins,
blueberry pudding, fresh blue-
berries with cream and brown
sugar, and blueberries embed-
ded in lime jello . . . Then we
had fresh blueberries as they
came from the plants, on the
warm rocks of Georgian Bay
district . , and we had blue-
berries on the morning pan -
Pekes with maple syrup . .
Blueberries on the breakfast
cereal . and we now have
frozen blueberries in the freez-
er at home . . . Can anything
else be done with this delight-
ful fruit . , •

BACK BEFORE THE HOLT-
days started we enjoyed an
evening at RCAF Station Clin-
ton watching the graduation
parade of 20 happy successful
telecommunications officers . .
Nothing thrills us quite like the
sight of a parade square or
street filled with precision -
marching squads of service-
men . , . and women . . . We
noted that on the recently re-
surfaced parade square the
movement of parade shoes
sounded very much like the soft
shushing sound of sandpaper
blocks in a children's rhythm
band . . . This was the first
parade we 'have seen since the
new caps were issued to the
airmen . . . just enough ap-
peared on parade with the old
style wedge caps, to make the
new ones prominent . . How-
ever, we must confess, the par-
ade was half over before we
realized what was so different
about the looks of things . . .

Town Council in Action
Clinton Town Council meet-
ing on Monday night consid-
ered advice from the Middle
Maitland River Authority of a
proposal to enlarge the group
to include all of the Maitland
Valley.
A meeting to consider this
will be held in Wingharn on
September 14, and Mayor W.
J, Miller has been appointed
to attend. Council indicated
their thought that the suggest-
ed assessment of Clinton bas-
ed on 80 percent of the popula-
tion was quite high, since only
a very small proportion of the
land in town is drained into
the Maitland. On this basis,
to raise $1,000 for use by the
authority, Clinton Would need
to contribute about $24.
Consideration of adding the
Hayfield River into any such
Authority also will be Made.
Grants Paid
Council agreed to pay the
$300 grant budgeted for to
the Clinton Concert land,

Mayer Miller suggested that
the gravel came from the lane

if the licence is not carried,
and up to $200 if peddling and

more, chairman of the by-law

and others in town, selling such
things as Christmas cards, One
of the merchant councillors
felt that much of this selling
would be cnrtailed When the
