, How Would You Like It?
IT'S LUCKY for one thoughtless.
Clntonian he .doesn't have a front lawn.
He might have woken up one morning
this week and found a carefully selected
cross-section of garbage spread across
it.
It might have been .spread there
by the rrlan who usually collects garb
and hauls 1 away ito the town dump,
Not that Clarence Neilans would
have let longer •overcome rational think-
ing
Still, a lot of us might have done
just thait, Because we're not all that
easy-going, or sensible.
Mr, Neilans' blood pressure went up
a few points this week when he :arrived
at the fawn dump and found some
else had been using the premises,
Well, after all, it is the town dump,
But it is managed by one man who op-
er ates a garbage collection service ... ,
which, incidentally, 'saves money for
ratepayers.
Operationof the dump is Mr, Neil=
anst business, and he sees'to it that the
dump is open .on -Saturdays for the alis-
poral of garbage by private individuals.
The manin question :apparently
couldn't wait for Saturday, or accumu-
late d
ccumula+ted his garbage after .Satturday.
m
So he duped. it outside the dump,
and in front of'the main gate.,
He is not the first person to da this,
But nor was he the most careful, Be,.
cause his. garbage contained information
which bore his name and address.
It was an easy matter to track him
down and confront him with. his viola -
tion , , . and his rudeness, and to ask him
to please .'take. his garbage inside the
dump proper-, or face prosecution.
Authorities hope this example may
prompt others to use common sense
and just a little common decency in the
disposal of their garbage.
How would you like a swath of
garbage across your front lawn?

A Good Choice
AT THE LAST regular meeting of
Clinton. town council members voted
i
unanimously to terminate the proba-
tionary
rob a
tionary period of constable Leroy Oesch.
Mr.-Oesch was added to Clinton's police
department on July 27 of this year and
was to have been on probation until the
end of January, 1965.
That period of probation is an ex-
cellent clause for any employer to have
in any contract or agreement with new
employees. During six months most un-
desirable traits show; -and' in that length
of time a lack of ability becomes evi-
dent. So too, do any shortcomings u1
any area of the new employee's make-up
which were not evident at the time he
was hired,
Councillors, the mayor, the reeve
and the deputy reeve wasted not one
moment at, their last meeting in agree-
ing with. the idea that Clinton's new
policeman should be "welcomed aboard"
on a permanent basis. (The only ques-
tion that ever arose was whether the
Ontario Police Commission allows pro.
bationary periods to be abbreviated:)
Their action clearly indicated that
what Const. Oesch has shown during
his three months on the. Clinton force
has been nothing but fairness, fifmness.,'
honesty and ability. -
We have heard nothing to dispute
this, although Const. Oesch must have
crossed a number of persons since he
started to work on the force.
Well Never
It will probably never be possible
to make artificial whisky or brandy,
according to the Laboratory of the
British Government Chemist.
This was the conclusion of research-
ers who' had tried to analyse the dif-
ferent chemicals present in samples of
these liquors.
For one type of brandy alone, 23
'distinct.. chemicals were analysed, but
.: present, ac-
cording
of others were nese
cording to indications, The many fan-
known substances . apparently react'
within each other' most Uhpredictably. -
He must have crossed a number of
persons in Clinton. because since he
startedr the' i A nc it
work. here he nsta es of e
squealing have all but died out, and the
list of names on the monthy court dock-
et has become longer.
Yetthere have been no gripes from
any quarter. We have heard no sour
grapes .from his "victim", and his fel.
low police officers have nothing but good
to say of him. We must conclude he has
been fair to all with whom he ,comes
in contact.
But Const. Oesch would give his
mother a speeding ticket—we feel—bei
cause a good police officer must be as
firm as he is fair. It must be that those
who were brought into court were fully
aware they had broken the law:
At - the same time council gave
Const. Oesch a full vote of confidence,
the Clinton Police- Department in gen-
eral was briefly discussed, The police—
who are usually the first group in any
town to get criticism—drew none from
councillors; and councillors are the ears,
eyes and mouths of the public.
We must Have a good department,
for which some credit must go to the
Police Committee. It was the police
-committee and chief Russ Thompson
who picked Leroy Oesch from the list
of applicants; it is the same group which
organizes ' the Clinton Police Depart-
ment.
They must have done a good job , . .
