Community support and enthusiasm is
needed to ward off any future doctor shor-
tages in Clinton. Although the problem has
not reached drastic proportions yet, the
board at the Clinton Hospital and a special
committee are making attempts to attract
at least one more medical practitioner to the
Clinton area.
Presently, Clinton and the surrounding
area is serviced by four doctors; Dr. Bill
Harrett, Dr. Frank Newland, Dr. Brian
Baker and Dr. R.W. Street. Several
specialists also come in to serve the area.
In an attempt to keep Clinton's head
above water, council has accepted the flood
and fill line mapping prepared by the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority.
In Clinton's case, there is little flood
danger along the Bayfield River and there
are no homes built in the area. Only the
town's sewage plant sits in the floodplain,
but it has recently been dyked to prevent
further erosion along the banks.
"That's a million dollar plant and we
wouldn't want anything to happen to it,"
commented Mayor Harold Lobb.

Student discovers peanut butter
He came across an ocean and fell in love.
However, it isn't a young woman whahas
attracted this young man, rather it is a
delicacy known as peanut butter. -
There is no peanut butter in France, and
for 16 -year-old Pierre Grignon of Nor-
dhouse, France, discovering peanut butter
in Canada has been like finding the prover-
bial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Pierre is - in Huron County, more
specifically he is staying with the Warren
Robinson family of Goderich. Mr. Robinson
is the English co-ordinator for the Huron
County Board of Education.
The young Frenchman and three young
women from Quebec were introduced to the
board of education at its OctoLer session by
French co-ordinator Damien Solomon.
Allkur students are here as.exchange
students for three months. At the end of the
three months, the host students will visit
their exchange partners' homes.
In Pierre's case, 16 -year-old Baird Robin=
son will be visiting Fran%
Francine Beaupre, 186;,..of Charlesbourg,
Que., is staying with Kelly McBridge, 16, of
Lucknow. Both are attending F.E. Madill
Secondary School in Wingham.
Chantal Pitchette, 17, of Clermont, Que.,
is an exchange partner with Rhonda Lobb,
17, of Clinton. The pair are attending Cen-
tral Huron Secondary School.
Sonia Dube, 17, of St.-Jean-Port-Joli,
Que., is visiting Melanie Mann, 17, of Clin-
ton. Both are attending Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton.
Mr. Robinson said one of the rules of the
exchange is that English has to be spoken by
the visiting students. This rule will be
reversed, French only, when the visit& are
reciprocated.
• Pierre has had no difficulty in the English
department. He has taken English for only
four years, yet his command of the language
is very good, agrees Mr. Robinson and Mr.
Soloman.
The young man, because of his love of
peanut butter, said he would like to start a
factory to produce the food in his country.
He said there was little difficulty in
understanding the young women from
Quebec, although he noted the accents are
different. The three high school students
said they found no• difficulty in
understanding Pierre as they • quickly
reverted to their mother tongue. •
Mr. Solomon told trustees that students
from F.E., Madill have been involved in
similarexchanges for about three years and
this is the first year for Central Huron
students. He also noted that last year, about
20 students from South Huron District High
School in Exeter were in Chicoutami, Que.
