Wizard woke up. "Give me
the amulet you stole," Blimpo
demanded. "Ha,' he's in-
visible!" said the Wizard (for
Blimpo was turned
sideways), and he muttered a
spell, But it didn't work, for
Blimpo wasn't really in-
visible, just very thin. Blimpo
snatched the amulet from the
Wizard and jumped out the
window., He sailed over the
forest to the sorceress' cot-
tage, and she made him slim
and handsome again.

Do you remember?
BY JABEZ RANDS
(As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations
next year, fabez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly
column on the history of the Town,)
Do you remember when and where you went to school
before the brick PubliC.School was built on Ontario Street?
The first school house in Clinton was a log cabin with a
bark roof and it was situated on the south-east corner of the
St. Paul's Anglican property. The building had only three
windows in it, each with a single pane of glass measuring
eight by ten inches.
Three of the early teachers were as follows: Mr. Riley,
who was lame; Mr. Osbaldeston, an Englishman who lived
near Holmesviile; and a Mr. Campbell.
The next schools that we found out about were in a house
now owned by Mrs. E. McIntyre on Townsend Street, and
the little brick cottage just west of Mrs. McIntyre's house.
The first one mentioned, that of Mrs. McIntyre's, will be
remembered by the older people as James Sheppard's house
in school days and it had three school rooms in it. The little
brick cottage will be remembered as one of Hovey's houses
as Mr. Ernest Hovey lived in it for some years and his
brother, Bert, (the hunter and fisherman) also lived in it for
some time. It had two rooms.
There were several teachers who taught at these schools,
including Miss Morgan, who married Mr. Brown of the
grocery firm of Brown and Cavan. The pupils all liked her
and didn't approve of her getting married. Another teacher
was Miss Bell who was highly respected by her pupils. Then
there was Miss Bishop, who was loved by the boys and girls
alike. The other teacher was Miss Agnes Barry, who married
Mr. James H, Coombes, the druggist, and.father of Mr. H.B.
Coombes who was part owner of the Clinton Knitting Com-
pany.
The early principal was James Scott who was librarian
with the Mechanics Institute in Clinton for some years. Mr.
Scott was succeeded by Mr. D.M. Mallock, who was also
liked by the pupils, and they called him "Sammy."
Soon after Mr.. Mallock became principal, the large Public
School was built on Ontario Street, during 1869 and 1870, at
a cost of $8,000. It is now the Van Damme apartments.
Therefore, by my research, Clinton has two houses on
Townsend Street plus the Van Demme Apartments, that
have passed the 100 year mark.

After a life of being fat,
Blimpo's dreams were
coming true. He was thin
now, and he was going to
marry the beautiful princess
Caroline. But the wedding
feast lasted a whole week.
Blimpo ate and ate. By the
wedding day, he was fat
again. Caroline screamed,
"No! I won't marry you until
you are thin." So Blimpo went
off in search of a way to get
thin. He met an old sorceress
and asked her to help him. "I
will if you help me," she said.
"Get back the magic amulet
the Wicked Wizard stole from
me." And she made Blimpo
thin -- as thin as a piece of
paper! He was so thin that if he
turned sideways, you couldn't
see him at all. Then a puff of
wind blew him up into the air
like a kite. He sailed through
the air to the Wicked Wizard's
castle on top of a mountain,
He landed on the roof and
slipped through the crack
under the tower door. Then he
tiptoed down to the Wizard's
room. He slipped in through
the crack and started to look
for the amulet. The Wicked

Union at the Mutual Street
Arena in Toronto, where the
United Church was born on
June 10, 1925. Slides, films,
recordings, and personal ap-
pearances, were used to show
the growth of the United
Church during the past 50
years. The- presentation was
concluded with a film in which
the moderator, Rev. Bruce
McLeod brought personal
greetings.
Persons from the Huron-
Perth area will be attending
the United Church's highest
body, General Council, when it
meets in Guelph this August.
Elected as Commissioners
were: Rev. Donald Deas, Mit-
chell, Mr, Joe Snider, Goderich,
Rev. Frederick Faist, Stratford,
Rev. Bruce Guy, Dashwood,
and Rev. Don Beck Hensall.
Conference dealt with a num-
ber of memorials to General
Council. These are resolutions
presented by Presbyteries
which Conference must then
forward for the consideration
of General Council for action.
Abortion, an important issue
in Canada, was the topic of two
memorials. Conference voted
concurrence with one that
asked "to appoint a ... Com-
mission to study the question of
abortion, including an
examination of various laws
and trends in other parts of the
world, and the particular in-
sights the Christian gospel
provides in assisting our people
to come to responsible moral
decisions in this area."
Non-concurrence was the
wish in another memorial that
asked General Council to
reconsider its stand of 1972,
make a further study of the
issue and arrange for a
plebiscite of every United
Church congregation on this
issue.
New Ministers who will be
coming into our area include,
Rev. Albert Cook to the Ash-
field -St. Helens Charge, Rev.
Garnet A. Potter to Auburn.
Rev. Ralph King is the new
Minister of North St. United
Church, Goderich, and to the
Gorrie-Wroxeter Charge, Rev.
Wesley B. Ball. Varna Goshen
will have a supply in the, person
of Rev. Alex Taylor.
Succeeding Rev. Faist as
President is the Rev. Allen
Churchill of Chatham, and the
Rev. Burton Crowe of Windsor
was elected as President-Elect,
to take office next spring.

• Cops are Tops
Cops are Tops with the Cliri-
'ton kindergarten children,
because they took the children,
all 75 of them on a tour of the
Clinton Police Station.
We thought the ground floor
of the town hall was the Police
Station but we found out, it
was only the "littlest room".
Really the police station is the
size of our toilets put together.
We saw the fire truck too and
we saw all the useful things in
the trunk. We sat in the police
car and saw the "knocker
outer".
We all had our finger prints
taken and we saw the cell. Its
was an awful place. It was dark
and dirty and so small. There
was no place for the bad guys
to go to the toilet.
The Empty Pew
SY
Rim W. Joie Miller
It's wierd, man; it's weird --
as the drop-out generation
might say,
mean, God gave us this
great capacity to enjoy our own
bodies and I figured he meant
us to enjoy them.
Well, one thing I really like
to do is eat sweets, and. I figure
it is my body and I can use it to
accumulate all sorts of pleasant
experiences. So, I shopped
around until I found a candy
store and went in and started
working there.
I had a hard time finding the
right one, however, The first
one I went to had as good
candy as anyone else, but they
kept a pickle jar on the big
counter by the cash register!
Everytime I saw those pickles it
made me uncomfortable, so
left,
The second one I went to was
nice, and the people there were
friendly, but the hours they
kept disturbed my time to sleep
late, so I just sort of got out of
the habit of going, and pretty
soon I quit altogether.
The third one I went to had
the unmitigated gall to say if I
was going to trade there I
would have to help pay the
bills and be regular and learn
to like anyone who came in. Let
me tell you I got out of there
fast!
The fourth one made me so
mad I didn't even sit down iri
it! The first thing they handed
me was not candy, as I asked
for, but a toothbrush!
Well, I just love this candy
store I belong to now. No one
pesters me with snide remarks
of cost, and there is nothing in
it but sweetness and fun!
Next week I have my last
dental surgery; and my
physician says I can go home as
soon as my weight and blood
pressure are back to normal, so
I can hope to handle most of
my problems just staying home
and taking pills.'
I'm still furious at that
candy store administrator who
said candy and alcohol have
the same ingredients, just dif-
ferently arranged
Once In A Life Time
Why should a driver who
hasn't had an accident in 20 ,
years be bothered with safety
belts? That's a good question.
Here's a good answer from the
Ontario Safety League. Four
out of five drivers in accidents
never had an accident before.
What hasn't happened in 20
years can happen in two
seconds, No driver leads a
charmed life, says the League.
Canada's Fatalities A Scandal
Scandal is something that
has to be bad to be good.
Perhaps that is the reason
many people don't wear safety
belts, suggests r the Ontario
Safety League. Perhaps the
scandalous 6,000-plus traffir
fatalities in Canada last year is
still not good enough to per-
suade people to buckle up.
This, despite the fact that no
other safety feature in the
history of motor transportation
has been so thoroughly tested
and studied.
We learned that the
policeman are our friends, that
they are just boys what turned
into men. All policeman wore
blue suits. We'll be good and
not get put in that cell, and the
police car is full of things to
help people, things like ropes
and lights and rain suits and
skid measurers.
We were given doughnuts
and chocolate milk, which we
really liked. Thank you Mr.
Policemen for the doughnuts
and thank you Mr. Fairholme
for the milk. We all wore our
buttons which said "We Need
Our Cops", but we like "Cops
Are Tops" much better, Police
Week was a real hit with the
pupils and the teachers and the
helper mothers,
