Record seems to be the hardest?
As of July 1,1967, the News-Record
WAS sold to Robert G, Shrier, Goderich,
who is an experienced newspaperman,
. havipg received his training in the
Thompson newspaper organization, and
for some years has been associated with
and is the present publisher of The
Goderich Signal-Star.
I am sure the new publisher will
give Clinton and district a weekly news
paper in keeping with the past quality.
My 35 years with the Clinton News-
Record have been pleasant and reward- I . __
ing, especially the last ten as publisher. • the co-operation of the above persons."
The News-Record will be continued
to bepublished at the same location, at
56 Albert Street, but the actual printing
will 'be done by the offset process at the
Goderich plant of the Signal-Star. In
recent years we have covered the local
regular subscribers,
Being a part of our community, the
air force na,s been given, what we think
as good coverage in the News-Record,
I am sure the new publisher will con
tinue this coverage of Canadian Forces
activities in our area. To the public re
lations officers and commanding officers
of the base over the years, I am most
appreciative of their co-operation and
interest in our community. .
Over the years the News-Record .
hes been awarded prizes in Ontario and
Canadian weekly newspaper associa
tions. These awards came about through -
Prior to that I was co-publisher‘ for 14
years. . . . ’ • !
The success and satisfaction I have
had over the years is due to the co
operation and helpfulness of -many
persons.

paper s dedicated correspondents and
press secretaries. The first duty of a
weekly paper is to present the activities
of persons and groups in the area. This,
I am sure has been done by the faithful
contributors.
Advertisers are a most vital part ,
of a successful newspaper, and I thank
Clinton and district businesses and
groups who have been most faithful.
Over , the years the subscription list at
the News-Record has shown a steady
growth; to these persons I also say thank
you.
Clinton being the home of radar
training in North America, has brought
thousands of Canadians to our commun-
stand the strain pf. the big
