through three towns - all
named "Clinton". They
breWasted one' morning in
Clinton, Tennessee on the'
Clinch' River. The most
beautiful of the three was
Clinton, South Carolina, -
there they took pictures of the
Presbyterian College which
was comprised of handsome
red brick buildings with White
columns - all flanked by pink
and white dogwood trees as
well as masses of pink
azaleas. This Clinton has a
population of 10,000. The third
Clinton was in North Carolina
- but not outstanding.

Probably one of the most
interesting of winter holidays
spent in the south this year
was thatof Mr. and Mrs. Duff
Thompson of Raglan Street.
They holidayed for the
greater part of two months on
Sanibel Island in the Gulf of
Mexico off the west coast of
Florida.
Known as the third largest
shelling beach in the world
(the other two being in
Australia and Japan) this
island, ten miles in length,
provides an abundance of
shells on its beaches. The
most interesting and diverse
in appearance is the "conch"
family of shells.
The Thompsons could tell of
collecting all varieties of
shells at first anything but
pretty with their green, slimy
coverings. After boiling to
remove the animal inhabitant
deep within, the shells go into
a common chlorine solution
which further cleanses the
scum covering, then
following another dip, the
final touch is the loving hand
polish with vegetable oil. The
end result is well worth the
effort - a shell of luminous
beauty decorated with
detailed patterns as only
nature herself can colour
them.

Easter is a season that
inspires music. It was
therefore no great surprise, to
learn that Hensall United
_Church was to render a
cantata, "No Greater Love"
in the Easter season. That
performance took place on
Monday evening and the only
pity is that more people were
not out to hear it. Not that the
chtirch was empty by any
means, but there were empty
seats and each one signified
an hour of beautiful music
missed.
,"No Greater Love" tells in
music and by narration the
story of Jesus' Temptation,
the Sermon on the Mount,
highlights of His ministry,
Palm Sunday, the Last
Supper, His agony in the
Garden and the Crucifixion
and Resurrection.
Narrator for this inspiring
message was Rev. Don Beck.
Soprano soloists were Miss
Mary Goodwin and Mrs.
Janis Bisback. Alto soloist
