"If wrinkles must be
written upon our brow, let
them not be written upon the
heart. The spirit should not
grow old."
That quotation by James A.
Garfield was picked
especially ; because the
provincial government has
designated this Senior
Citizens Week.
Don't fall into the trap of.
thinking of all Senior Citizens
as some aged species rocking
away their declining years on
a porch. Certainly not in our
community. Here they are a
vigorous, enthusiastic portion
of our population - whether
living in one of the two
apartment buildings or
maintaining their own ac-
commodation.
The Golden Radars are a
very active group who meet
regularly in the Town Hall
and the newly • formed
Trillium Club at King Street
Villa is off and -running with a
quilting project. Many others
work individually alongside
us all in voluntary efforts in
the community.
There's one lady, I do not
know how many years
"young" she is, but how I
admire the way she can step
out for a long walk in fair or
foul weather. Whenever I see
her, small of stature but
bright and determined, I
think of one word "in-
domitable".
Hats off to all of our Senior
Citizens - we need them.

Be a super snooper!
The 1977 summer reading
program at the Clinton Public
Library will begin July 4 and
run through August 26. The
countywide theme for thjs
summer's program is `Be a
Super Snooper' at your
library. The idea is that
mysteries, both real and
fictitious are all able to be
solved through books.
Children are, asked to
register as "detectives" in
the Children's Department
between June 27 and July 2.
Registered detectives will be
given detectives' logs for
recording those mysteries
they have solved (books
read) during the eight-week
program. The County Library
will also be providing de-
coder book marks carrying
out the mystery solving
theme, and 'Super Snooper'
certificates for those suc-
cessfully completing the
program.
The purpose of the
registration is to allow for the
extended to several of . the
musically talented residents
at Huronview, but a busy
schedule for Senior Citizens
Week made it ph tsically
impossible for the group to
accept.
However, • the Bradley
group 'will ably fill the bill
with Eugene (who in-
cidentally is the church
organist) accompanying his
seven children, on the ac-
cordion.
For those who are not°
aware of the picnic location,
signs will be posted from the
church.

best possible program
planning for children in
various age groups.
Programming will include a
regular story hour and
learning period entitled
'What Do People Do All Day?'
for pre-schoolers and 6, 7, 8
year-olds; and special ac-
tivities and workshops for 9-
13 year-olds. The desire for
drama and puppet -making
workshops along with . other
activities for the older
children will be determined
by information gained from
them when they register.
This week elementary
school students in the area
will be bringing home a
recommended reading list
developed by the Children's
Librarian of the County
Library. It is hoped that
parents, along with this list
will be able to encourage
their children to utilize their
public library this summer.
Enclosed with this listing is
an entry„ form for a book
contest, and this entry Torm
may be deposited in a special
box found in the library any
time prior to Tuesday, August
23, 1977.
It is the hope of Clinton's
library staff that this column,
along with the Summer
Reading Program, various
special activities, and the
hook contest will urge
younger people to visit their
library frequently. So, come
on kids and join in on the
summer fun at the library. Be
A Super Snooper!' — by
Marian Doucette
From up here
by Shelley McPhee
I sit in my office and look at my recently repaired
watch to see that it's suffering from the same damages
,again. A letter from MacLean -Hunter sits on my desk
with a fifth notice of a subscription payment and a threat
to cancel it, despite the fact that I did indeed pay for the
magazine on the first notice. My new plc pen refuses to
write and my new plant refuses to grow.
Was I born under a black star? Am I -a hard -luck girl?
Am I paranoid? All ofthe above may be true, but this
does not explain why these mistakes, breakdowns and
miscalculations occur.
I suppose I am part of a dying breed: those who want to
do things right, to clothe best we can, to create newer and
better ways. Yet we are undone every day by the
apathetic people of the world, the ones who aim at
mediocracy - and succeed.
Some may think that it's unfair that presidents of
countries (or companies), movie stars, heirs to fortunes,
great inventors, best-seller authors and athletes receive
the highest recognitions for their work, while everyday
functions can go unnoticed and neglected.
Granted there are no gold medals for good telephone
maintenance or elevator operation. There is no shining
star for those who make the mail delivery on time or for
the waitresses who are courteous at the coffee shop, yet
you'd think that people would see it as a personal ac-
complishment to put all of /heir efforts into their work.
Like the scientist who must work accurately and
carefully to discover the cure for cancer, the television
repair man should have the same obligations. It is his
duty and his position to give all of his efforts to the task of
repairing the unstable vertical hold.
Perhaps some people receive Measure out of the fact
that they've done a lousy job. Surely the same efforts
that go into being surly and indifferent or doing things
wrong, can be channelled into doing them right.
In. any line of work there are rewards, promotions,
bonuses, salary raises, compliments from others - yes,
there are some of us who still appreciate and recognize a
job well done, no matter how small or how low on the
status scale.
But then, size should really have nothing to do with the
effort put into the building of a rocket or the repairing of
a watch, because every job matters to somebody.

founding cultures, enriched by the contribution of many

To honour this country which is ours, of which we all are
proud, I hereby proclaim the week of June 25th to July 1st

Thus, I invite the citizens of Clinton to celebrate it by striving

What do I do about a magazine
subscription company that
insists on sending out bills for
magazines that I never
receive?
I notified this firm that I was
moving and gave them my
new mailing address, and now
all I've got since coming here
are bills!
Believe it or not, but the head
office of this company in the
United States, tell us that it's
easier to send the magazines
than to stop the bills.
We're still scratching our
head about this one...anyway
they are going to mail you on
the magazines you missed at
NO CHARGE and they advise,
"just disregard the bills in
your possession," and they ■
will start mailing your new
magazines from scratch.

Two weeks ago I had to dump
a bag of milk down the drain
because it was sour, and it
happened again last week!
Perishable products are coded
to supposedly avoid this, so I
think twice is too often!
I have not confronted the store
manager fora refund because
it will not solve the problem.
My husband suggests that the
company may be combining
old milk with the new so there
won't be as great a loss to
them .
Can IMPACT give me an
address for the milk
marketing board as I want to
report this to them?
Our suggestion to this reader,
(and others with similar
problems) is that she should
make her complaint known to
the HURON COUNTY
HEALTH UNIT at 524-8301.
Ask for the Chief Public
Health Inspector or the
Medical Officer of Health.

who have written IMPACT
over the last two or three
weeks and are still awaiting a
reply, but we have been on

should have our mail caught
up this week.
I realize now that you, our
valued readers, should have
been notified by a mention of
this fact in .the column
BEFOREHAND, and I can
assure you that this will most
certainly be done in the future.
Meanwhile we hope you will
bear with us just a little
longer. Thank you. - S.H.
