TUE GODERIOR BIGNALSTAR Clinton First Known By PETER it WARD Tele grafi Staff 1tepetter CLINTON -- The snow ewe pore than a foot deep and still lalling when Clinton's senior citizen stepped out of her side door. She was wrapped in an old- fashioned dark coat, a scarf covered her head, ,and she was armed with a snow shovel. Slowly she opened a pathway to the road through the still- ' falling snow, then with a "Well now, that's done" sigh, shoul- dered her shovel and returned to the house. She is Elizabeth Saville and she'll be 93°on the 29th of this month. She lives alone in the cottage where her husband war Mae born, nearly a century ago. She does her own cooking, bakes brad en Fridays, and meats the house with a wood - coal stove. In summer she 'tends her half -acre garden and "put"s up" the vegetables she grows in sealers for the win- ter. "A JBIT SOFT" "Guess this is the last time I'll be shovelling snow this`=year," she• said. "Guess I'm getting a b4 soft, but I just can't take it the way I used to." The people of Clinton look with affection on 1lizabeth Saville. Her birthday is be- coming a regular town holiday. All the local dignitaries make sure they at least stop by the little brown -and -white cottage for 15 minutes. She's one of the originals. Just a short time before 4' As "The d�:lizabeth was born, Jonas Gib bing, and Peter and Stephen Vanderburgb settled at the junction of ' the London and Huron roads. That was in 1331, "The Corners" was Clinton's first name. It was a natural site for shops; settlers, and inn keepers. The only two roads in the country intersected there Later the settlement became Vanderburgh's Corners, and then name of a newcomer, Wil- liam Rattenbury, replaced Van- derburgh's for the community name. GROWING But the crossroads was grow- ing and needed a real name. Between them, Rattenbury and Gibbings named Clinton in honor of Rattenbury's father's Old Country landlord. Clinton was incorporated a village in,1053, arni in 1375 was named a town. Right through the .13600 and 7OET Clinton Was the leading industrial light in Huron County. Salt wells, mills, blacksmith shops, and even an organ fee - tory sprang up. The Buffalo end Lake Huron Railway came to Clinton and that assured prosperity Clinton became the cotnntry's leading shipping centre for agriculture, a position it holds even now. The town has lived up to. its motte- The Hub of Huron County—for nearly 100 years. The old Doherty organ far tory, one of the toxin's first major industries, has changed hands three times, but it's still 4 Dashing through snow in an open sleigh is an enjoyable winter sport inClinton.

ONE OF SIN .it's one of the sill lek nn f im tories in t.'aaade and employe:, dearly a?i t mosfolk. Iga4dlo� Pegg, z;er:grai manager, said most of the staff .have 'beesa.` with the "organ factory" more, than 20 years. "flaking pianos is an, art,", he said. "It's the kind• of a job that takes a great deal of , .training.'° The era of organs is almost over in Clinton. They still ivake a small portable organ, 'Weigh- ing 67 pounds; for missionary and armed forces field, work. Occasionally a wheezy .old Doherty organ makes its war; back into .the factory for re, pairs, but pianos, the small, upright type, are the main line. Mayor William Miller, who is just beginning his , third term as chief magistrate, is a cattle drover. A LITTLE MORE "Cattle drover is a little Inure than the tame implies," ria one of his supporters. "Usua is cattle drover__makea you think of Gray's 'The plow- man homeward plods his weary way,' but the mayor ships cattle to Toronto stockyards by the carload and makes several rips to the city every week." Cattle droving isn't the only iecupation that's come up in the world at Clinton. In the old clays, pioneer families used to weave their own cloth on home looms, but now two of the 'own's biggest industries are :milting mills. "Our biggest industry is out- side the town limits," said :Mayor Miller. "Two -and -a -half miles south of here is the RCAF Radar School. They bring more money into Clinton than any three industries. Be- lieve me, we're mighty glad to have them." The RCAF personnel have been there since 1941 and have had a big hand in the Clinton `room. They do moat of their ,hopping in town and many o: he station staff live there. Even when the weather's zad, farmer's trucks and air :orce family cars jam Clinton's nain street every Saturday. It's mixture of the old — like Mrs. Saville — and the new,. fresh recruits. who - come to ,;linton foe, their leisure hours. -�k•w�:.a•�s-,.,,.ail. �:w.'. ..-'_,✓.; slz`: "4e•'-?�.-+,+.x��.r.r Air Force personnel stationed a few miles from town spend part of, their leisure hours, in Clinton. From top are: Emile Mouge-ot, of -Buckingham, P.Q.; Audrey Borgford, of Gogama, Ont.; De- Verre Aldridge, of Plenty, Sask., and Margaret Hamilton, of Wel- land. FEMALE HELP SAID SCARCE, PLANT LEAVES A shortage of female help was one of the reasons given by Rose- dalePlastics when it moved its equipment from Seaforth to Lind- say last week. The company had operated in Seaforth for two years, occupying a portion of the Ontario Textile plant. Officials also indicated that the company had a desire 'to buy • pro- perty of its own. It has been able to purchase a building in Lindsay. The move has resulted in the departure of manager Otto Walter and three male employees for Lindsay. Rosedale Plastics, a subsidiary of an English firm, manufacture a wide range of plastic products. The top produottion period it Sea - forth saw about 20 persons employ- ed. When, it first opened, its pro - duets were only warehoused and shipped. .Early last year manu- facturing was commenced at Sea - forth. o ASHFIELD ASHFIELD, Jan. 22. --- Services in Ashfield Presbyterian Church will be held at 11 a.m. for the next six months, beginning Febru- ary 3. The annual meeting has been postponed from January 21 to January28. Donald' Compton, of Harriston, was home for the week -end. HOLMESVI LLE HOLM ESVIl,LE, Jan. 22. — The annual congregational supper of the Holmcsville United Church will be held •on Thursday, January 31, .at 7 p.m. All members and adhereentsf the church are *cordially in'ited to attend. Mrs. ^ifililldam McClinehey is a patient in Clinton Public Hospital. Mr. Gordon Steeps has bought t:he home of the late Thomas El- liott from fthe Elliott estate.

MILLER Farmers' trucks and Air Force family cars jam Clinton'`s main street every Satu 'Biggest industry Is outside town' day to do the week's shopping. Two of town's biggest industries are knitting mill Parsons nd ode' Program Contains Variety, Interest -• Intimate accuracy came hand in hand with secure *workmanship when Parsons -and Poole visited Goderich last week; such occasions ---fine music, feelingly presented— come our way all too rarely. We only regret that the clqse liaison evident on the platform was not matched by a similar relationship between performers and audience; this laek of understanding is per- haps a measure of the difficulties underlying concerts of this sort. The 'Mozart four -hand sonata which opened the program showed at once the brilliant "togetherness" which'was a feature of 'the whole evening. In spite of weaknesses inherent in a composition intended for four hands at one piano, the audience was immediately appreci- ative of the bright melodies, the little patterns, blended and bal- anced between the two players. This concertgoer especially en- joyed the transcribed Bach toccata, to the extent of wondering whether it has been so satisfyingly per- formed on the organ; the Brahms Variations on a Theme by Haydn; and the Rachmaninoff Romance, even at first hearing. The program was full of variety and interest, and the well-known had ,been care- fully balanced with the new and surprising; of the latter, Clifford Poole's own "Aeolian" *deserves special mention, both as a com- position and. as a little piece that delighted us; and apprehensions that a two -piano.. arrangement orf "Rhapsody in Blue" would be a little thin were very quickly dis- pelled. however, because of little em- barrassments, the artists were not given the applause that all felt was their due, even going on from one number to 'another with scarce- ly a pause.

COOKING TESTS FOR POTATOES . . Whenever experimental work is being carried ou: wi'lo potatoes. whether in breeding new -vari- eties, testing existing varieties. or conducting fertility trials, at some stage of the work it is °usually necessary to test- the cooking quill, ity of the crop grown. T. T. I>avies, Canada Department of Agriculture Experim_:ntal Farm, Fredericton, N.B., states it is- gen- erally accepted that the dry matter content of " a potato is a good indication of its degree of meati- ness. There are, however, other factors which go to make up good cooking quality that are not shown by a dry matter analysis. These include the degree of discoloration on cooking, the presence of off flavors, and the amount of slough- ing or disintegration of the tubers which takes place when they are boiled: At the Experimental Farm at Fredericton, where hundreds of potato seedlings and varieties are tested for their dry matter content every year, coo-kifrg4trials are made as •a fallow -up to the dry matter determinations. In order to ensure that the samples of tubers to be tested are of similar size and dry matter con tent they .are individually measur- ed for size and tested for their dry matter percentage before they are corslced. Six tubers of each variety or seedling are used, 'three for boiling and mashing and three for baking. Six separate lots of six each are cooked at one time and included in the six is a check variety, or in other words a var iety whose cooking quality is known and which can he used as a standard w`.th which to compare the other samples. in order to obtain a cross section of opinion on the cooked product a .►ane] of six or eight members is selected to judge the cooked potatoes and each fills in a score sheet which covers such points as degree of sloughing; color, texture and flavor. An average, of the scores provides an excellent idea as to the*pala't'a�biltty of a particular rotato variety and also gives an Indication as to its rating ,for conking quality compared with other potatoes. n a.t Conversation is the art of hear- ing as Well as being heard.
