Don't babble about summer on the Riviera or win- ter in the Swiss. Alps. Just double the length of that mel- low Canadian September, and I'll ask no more. There's nothing in this world to beat our September, when it's a good one, The country is a panorama of green and gold. The Bay deepens its blue to an incredible shade, The fairways are emerald velvet. Each day has an expectant stillness, Mother Nature sprawls in the yellow s u n, tired, but content with the latest fruits of her womb, The September air is as sweet and clean as the first kiss of a sixteen-year-old, Each day is precious and perfect. The evenings are smoky and a little sad. Night comes quick- ly and there is a new excite- ment in it, The moon sails high and, calm. There is a stirring in the blood. The air is cool. The breath of furnace and fireplace are welcome. g. In September, we eat like gods. Huge, sun-ripened tomat- oes, cold and juicy. Sweet yel- low corn, slathered in butter, New potatoes, boiled in their skins. Rosy peaches in sugar and cream. Grapes bursting with sweetness. Apples so crisp they snap when you bite them. City-dwellers have retreated once again to their concrete canyons. The small towns, where the tourist reigned sup- reme in; summer, have regained their identity, renewed their intimacy. Life is more leisurely yet there is a bustle of living, new and ancient, with each September's return. There is the colour and excitement of fall fairs and track meets and football games.

It's full of the same old people, trying to drive you up the wall. Take my kids, for example. Except that they're a foot tal- ler than they were a year ago, they're the same old kids — demanding, expensive, cheeky and lazy as coon dogs when it comes to anything but enjoying themselves, gt Take my wife, as' another for-example. Every year, as summer ends, she plans to "get organized", settle down, do some preserving, get on a sch- edule, start baking cookies, keep up with her ironing, hang onto her temper, stop talking so much, and provide a quiet, gracious home, where ,every- bodY is pleasant-spoken, and well-mannered. And every September, she plunges into some wild, new undertaking that upsets the present shaky system, preclud- es all possibility of organizing a new schedule, arid has us all running around ih right- angled triangles. This year, she's up to her ears, and ours, in a new job and a new house, The job, of course, doesn't affect us. Not much. She has taken on the Position of organist and choir- leader in the ohnreh.

Included are the Hon. Kelso Roberts, who was the first man to state his decision, and others are the Hon. Robert Macaulay, the Hon. Matthew B. Dymond, the Rev. A. W. Downer and the Hon. George C, Wardrope. But we tend to favour for the leadership of Ontario, the Hon. John P. Roberts, Q.C., Minister of Education, and member for London North, Mr. Roberts has the advantage of youth, in which a number of the other aspirants are sadly lacking, He has shown a sincere ability to make decis- THE NEGATIVE attitude which seems to prevail in official circles in our town continues to do us no good. Note that in Exeter where a group of interested folk got together and formed an Industrial Development Cor- poration, a Danish firm of farm machinery manufacturers will soon commence to operate. Drive around that town and see the new industrial buildings. Note that the only new industry to be established in Clinton, is the new bakeshop at the north end of Albert Street last month and before that, pro- bably Par Knit Hosiery or C. H. Epps Mfg. Ltd., both over 20 years ago. Remember that a few years ago our council was asked to support a move to have oil drilling off-shore in Lake Huron banned, and nothing was done "because we're not on the lake". EXPANSION of the Middle Mait- land Valley Conservation Authority to include the entire Maitland watershed comes with unexpected suddenness but at the same time it is something which was necessary if this area is to realize the full benefits of conservation. The Middle Maitland was just too small both area-wise and budget-wise to un- dertake any comprehensive program. The new authority now becomes one of the larger ones in the province. With 29 municipalities contributing financial assistance and the Ontario Government providing an equal amount, the new Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority should be in a posi- tion to match the extensive programs which have been carried on by the Aus- able, the Saugeen and the Grand. It is also worthy of note that organization of the entire Maitland basin now puts this section of the pro- vince under authority control. The Maitland is butted by the Grand on the east, the Thames and Ausable on the south and the Saugeen on the north. There could be no better guarantee that the natural resources hereabouts will be preserved. Formation of the full Maitland watershed did not come without opposi- tion. This was to be expected. There are always two reasons for opposing organization of authorities. One is fear of the cost factor. The other is lack of knowledge as far as conserva- tion is concerned. THE CLINTON NEW ERA Est. 1865 ‘41 I. a • • ABC • • • ions and stick to them, and in his brief, tenure in the position of education minister, he has made several long- needed changes, As an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion he is presently serving as an officer of On- tario Provincial Command. We favour him, too, because he is a Western Ontario man. It would do no harm to this part of the province to be the home of the premier of all of the province, Strong opposition will be felt by all of the candidates because some of them already have busy public rela- tions firms at work spreading the im- age, and the historical facts aboui themselves, It is an important race, and the results could have far-reaching impact. The right man could give the Con- servative party another hold on the dominance they have enjoyed for many years. The wrong choice could influ- ence the voters at the polls in the next election, and the switch to a majority for one of the other parties. It would have cost nothing but five minutes time to pass a motion and mail a letter. Note that now off-shore drilling has been banned for a period of at least five years. This was done without Clin- ton's help, All our town did was ex- press a negative attitude. Remember the work of Conserva- tion Authorities throughout the pro- vince which you saw on your vacation trip this summer. Remember the dams, the parks, the recreation facilities, the provincial forests. Note that when Clinton had oppor- tunity to support a similar type of Authority to operate in the area to the north and west of us, the answer was an unqualified "no". Note that now the Authority has been fornied without the help of Clin- ton, and again all our town has gained is to go on record as being "against it". And it is safe to predict opposition has not ended. There will likely be disputes over levies and attempts made to curtail programs. There will be cries that one municipality is receiving more benefits than another and that it is costing the taxpayer too much for what is accomplished. Such arguments may continue for two or three years. By that time, how- ever, municipalities become accustomed to paying their annual levies and also are better acquainted with conservation in all its phases. Only then can the Authority get down to the business of planning a sound program and serving its rightful purpose. During the 10 years the Middle Maitland has been in existence its ac- complishments have been considerable. There are 450 acres of authority land under reforestation, and some recrea- tion areas under development. Here in Listowel straightening of the river channel, building of a river retaining wall and improvements to t he dam were carried out as Authority projects. The Middle Maitland will not be taken over, as it were by the full Mait- land Authority until early in 1962. It is to be hoped then that representatives of the 13-member municipalities will utilize the remaining months left to tie up a few loose ends. Money has been raised by these municipalities for pro- jects in the middle Maitland area and, within reason, it should be spent on them before control of the finances is relinquished.
