A letter came to the desk this
week froth a Manitoba sub-
scriber, Mrs. Keith Cox, who
with her husband and family
now reside in Winnipeg. Mr.
and Mrs. Cox were former
residents of the Clinton area.
Mrs. Cox enclosed a clipping
from the Winnipeg Tribune of
May 1, describing how, on
April 20 their 14-year-old son,
Cameron Cox, was alerted by a
tapping noise from inside the
front door of a house on his
paper route, After completing
his deliveries the worried
carrier returned to the house,
discovered the source of the
tapping to be an elderly lady
who had dragged herself to the
door following a fall, Aid was
then summoned and she was
taken to hospital, where, at, the
time of publication of the
Tribune her condition was
fairly good. The heading on the
article reads "Carrier rescues
reader".
Incidentally Cameron Cox is
one of 12 Winnipeg students
chosen to represent Western
Canada in the east this Spring -
visiting Toronto - Hamilton,
Brantford, Niagara Falls and
hopefully a performance at
Stratford. ,

Mr. and Mrs. Ted Davies,
RR 5, Clinton had as dinner
guests on May 7 two seafaring
adventurers, Dr. Don Salter
and his wife, Jean. Dr. Salter
has been lecturing at Waterloo
University. Together they left
last week to sail their 30' sloop
to England and from thence to
New Zealand. They have been
docking at Bayfield for the past
two years and have shared
their knowledge of seamanship
as well as inspiring many fresh
water sailors. Dr. and Mrs.
Salter sailed their boat here
from England in 1972 and have
entertained many people with
stories and beautiful pictures of
their adventures.

On display at the Clinton
Public Hospital for National
Hospital Day last week (May 8)
was a Book of Remembrance
which has been long treasured
by hospital board officials.
Since its incorporation by On-
tario charter in ,1908, the
hospital has been the recipient
of many generous estates to
assist with its services in caring
for the ill. The book records
"the beneficence and keeps in
memory the generosity of those
who of their effort and of their
estate have contributed to the
hospital."
The gift of the late William
Brydone, K.C., and his late
wife, Mary McMurchy Bryden,
a member of a pioneer family,
