Clinton News-Record, 1978-11-23, Page 2PAGE 2—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, Ti URSPAy', NQVg BER 23, 1978
When you pick up your
mall or your paper at the
post office this week -
•don't let that 3c im-
pending hike in the cost of
first class mailing
unleash a stream of in-
vective.
Before you let fly with
some of your choicest
vocabulary, remember
our postal staff didn't
levy the increases - they
have to carry out the
orders. By this time it
must be pretty wearying
for our local workers to
be always the butt of the
postal jokes and jibes.
They are Clintonians
serving Clintonians in the
best way they can.
A 17c stamp will be a
necessary evil - but for
many of us who like to
keep in touch, it will still
present the cheapest and
only way.

In last week's column
when mentioning the
excellent behaviour of the
Guides and Brownies at
the Remembrance Day
Service, your writer
neglected to mention that
the praise was also for
the fine Brownie pack
from Vanastra Who
joined their companions
at the Cenotaph.
+++
Again, while speaking
of the Brownies, we have
received a release an-
nouncing that the 1st and
2nd Clinton Brownie
Packs collected $141.50
for UNICEF last
Hallowe'en night. On
behalf of her Brownies,
convenor Margaret
Coventry wishes to thank
all those who supported
this worthwhile effort.
+++
The Junior Mustang
Hockey Club, 300 Booster
Draw was won by John
Robinson of Clinton.
Tickets for future draws
may be obtained from
Doug Farquhar or any
member of the Club.
+++
St. Joseph's Roman
Catholic Parish Church,
Clinton is compiling its
history. In light of this,
they are looking for in -
forrhation on, and the
names of, those men of
the parish who served in
either of the world wars.
If the readers of this
column have any
knowledge on this sub-
ject, would they please
contact Mrs. Muriel Trott
at 482-3659.

Of interest to some of
our townspeople is the
death notice in this
week's News -Record of
Harold Raymond "Mike"
Kilty. Mr. Kilty is sur-
vived by his wife, the
former Madelon Shaw,
daughter of the late Dr.
Shaw of Clinton. Mike
Kilty and Madelon Shaw
were married in the
yellow brick house on
Rattenbury St. East now
owned by Miss E. Twiss.
Shelley Mann, 9, was able to squeeze through thevrowds of grown ups to do her
Christmas shopping at the Ontario Street United Church bazaar on Saturday
afternoon. Baked goods, plants, knitted articles, handcrafted goods and a flea
market all filled the tables in the church basement. (News -Record photo)

Members of the Clinton
Kinsmen's Club and the
Clinton Lions Club have
now completed their
recent house-to-house
canvasses, and many of
the workers said it was a
pleasant experience to
meet the people on behalf
of the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind.
The people of Clinton
again showed their in-
terest in the services
which CNIB provides for
our blind and partially
blind citizens.
Total contributions
from the 1978 campaign
plus .donations from a.
number of local
organizations have
reached $1,554.82, an
increase over last year of
more than $150. The
CNIB and the blind
people who are served by
it, appreciate the
generosity of all those
who contributed to the
financial success of the
campaign, and of the
Clinton Kinsmen Club
and the Clinton Lions
Club whose efforts made
the campaign possible.

Remembrance Day
On Friday, the day
before 'Remembrance
Day, Clinton Public
School had a Remem-
brance Day ceremony.
After we listened to a
Remembrance Day story
by Mary Knapp, the
grade eight s recited the
poem "Immortality".
We had a film strip with
the well known poem to
go with it, "In Flanders
Fields". Kathy Ladd and
Pat Wales then laid our
wreath which was to be
laid by Laureen Craig
and Karen Cook a day
later at the town
cenotaph. We concluded
the program with a
minute's silence. The
Remembrance
ceremony was well worth
it. by Renee'Lehnen
Cross Country
The Clinton Public
School's Cross Country
Team went to the Mullett
Conservatiox rea to run
in the Central Huron
cross-country team
meet. The teams walked
the trail to know where
they would go so no one
would be lost.
They started with
senior boys and every ten
minutes another section
started. This continued to
midget girls. Clinton
Public School tied for the
Intermediage girls, and
won the midget boys. We
hope to compete again
next year. by Karen Cook
Maitland Block
"Hey, do you think
we'll have any fun
tomorrow?"
"Sure, it should be a
cinch - if it doesn't rain,"
"Yeh, I still remember
the look of horror on my
Day mother's face when I
sloshed in the door after
our grade seven ti p,,."
This conversation took
place as' the grade eights
hurried home to .get
ready for their trip to the
Maitland Block the
following day.
The next morning,
bright and early, we
arrived at Ball's
Cemetery. We had to do
many studies on the
tombstones and went
inside the church and saw
where the coffins used to
be plased. When we
finished this we got into
pairs and walked down to
Mr. Ball's house.
He showed us around
the old sawmill site which
was originally owned by
the Sprung's.
The next thing on the
list was to have a quick
lunch so we could prepare
for the survival game.
After this, we had
a quick wiener roast and
got right into campfire
activities.
Mrs. Doris Batkin,
secretary -treasurer of
the Huron County
Historical Society, and
Mrs. Isabel Theedom,
public relations, were in
Toronto last Wednesday
to help celebrate the 75th
anniversary of the
Archives of Ontario.
The Archives, Gren-
ville Street, Queen's
Park, contains 143 years
of Ontario History which
the ladies were privileged
to see with displays and
demonstrations. Of in-
terest to Huron was a
map of the County dated
1860 (before the atlas) by
R.W. Herman, P.L.S.,
with pictures of Clinton
businesses , and the
names, W.C. Searle;
Louisa Thwaites; Joe.
Whitehead and Paulin &
Prior:
The Archives current
holdings consist of 38,000
linear feet of government
records; 4,500 linear feet
of private manuscripts;
22,000 reels of microfilm;
2,500 newspaper
mastheads; 18,000 maps
and 60,000 pictures.
The ladies were also
privileged to see the first
edition book of "Les
Voyagesde Samuel de
Champlain Paris 1613" -
which 'was on display for
the first time in Canada
by. a private collector.
This work is certified as
the finest example in
North America and is
valued at $60,000. CBC
News showed the book
and maps Thursday.
Also at the reception
later were Lt. Governor
Pauline McGibbon, The
Hon. Reuben Baetz,
minister of culture and
recreation; and
Professor • William -
Ormsby, Archivist of

You who have stayed
gallantly on to the end of
this week's column will
.have noticed the definite
lack of "personals" -
those little comings and
goings which give the
column the little added
touches of interest. If
you've returned from
anywhere, entertained
anyone, or just plain
"done" anything, just
drop a mention of it to
Town Talk or phone us.
Please and Thank you.

The nation-wide
Children's Book Festival
has almost reached its
close for another year,
but there's still plenty of
activity planned for the
Clinton' Library's
Children's Department.
Our "Book Fest"
colouring contest does not
close until 5:30 p.m.
Saturday, November 25,
so there's still plenty of
time to obtain an entry
form and join in on the
fun! This contest is open
to all public school• age
children and there are
several divisions -
meaning lots of prizes!
Colouring sheets may
be obtained from the
circulation desks at any
time during library
hours. Entries may be
colored in either felt pen,
wax crayon or pencil
crayon with the con-
testant's name, telephone
number and age ap-
pearing on the back of the
entry. We still have
several, colouring sheets
available, so pick yours
up today!
Many children have
already been into the
library to see our
displays and borrow
"Canadiana" - so many
in fact, that our cir-
culation of Canadian
children's books has
greatly increased this
week: The staff is
delighted over this fact
and hope the boys and
girls will continue to read
Canadian material long
after the completion of
the Book Festival.
This Saturday af-
ternoon at 2:30 p. m. a
very special birthday
party is -planned to take
place at the library.
We're going to celebrate
Mickey Mouse's birthday
with an hour of stories,
games, crafts, and a
surprise! All children are
invited to attend this
event and any boys or
girls having
Mouskateer's hats ° are
asked to wear them.
