"Theycame in friendshipand took away
levee" cam =HOMAS MOORE
ALTHOUGH the visit of the 'Princess
Elizabeth and- the Duke of Edinburgh to
Canada is only in its third day, already the
welcome accorded them in. Montreal, Quebec
City -and Ottawa, has been truly great, and
one of which any Royal couple might well'
feel proud. From everyone rises the tradi-
tional Canadian welcome, warm with friendly
hospitality.
They come in friendship, not desiring the
tiff formality of royal protocol, but rather to
eat and talk with people, and to see as many
aces as their limited time will permit. They
'sh, by word and deed, to exemplify our
odern concept of royalty—not as a remote
overning body, uninterested and unapproach-
le, but as a democracy in action, motivated
y keen interest and abundant human under -
standing.
To date, the Royal Tour has been
triumph, The touching scenes in Quebec City
and Ottawa Tuesday and Wednesday, were
reminiscent of the visit back in 1939, of the
Princess' father and mother, King George and
Queen Elizabeth. Loyalty of her future sub-
jects to the Heiress Presumptive to the Throne
in her Kingdom of Canada — as one of the
most important nations of the Commonwealth
is unquestioned.
The NEWS RECORD sincerely trusts tlidt
the days the Royal visitors spend among us
be pleasant ones, rliliranT with interest ani
overflowing with new 'experiences.
And, as they leave our shores again, may
they carry away memories that will live on
through the years—vivid memories of "the
true North, strong and free", and of 15,000,000
Canadians who took them to their hearts.
"O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!"

Do Your "Good Turn" -- Be Generous!
CANADIAN BOYS are one of the most
Iuable assets of Canada, and the future of
is nation depends upon their training. Poor
aining or no training at all is bound to
It in inefficiency and worse; ,good teein-
g undoubtedly will help provide Canada
e future which she deserves,
For this reason, any organization such as
e Boy ScOut Movement should have the
rty support; of the adult citizens of the land.
Aim of the Boy Scouts Association, as laid
wn in theofficial booklet, is stated as follows:
"The aim of The Boy Scouts Association
to develop good citizenship among boys by
ming their character; training them in habits
observation, obedience end self-reliance; in -
eating loyalty and thoughtfulness for oth-
ers; teadhing them services useful to the public
and handicrafts useful to themselves; and pro-
moting their physical, mental and spiritual
development.
Boy Scout "Apple Day" Is being held again
this year, the Clinton date being this coming
Saturday, October 13. It is promoted by Clin-
ton No, 1 Wolf Cub Pack and Clinton Lions
Club, the sponsoring group.
Needless to reiterate—for the fact has been
obvious clown through the years — Scouting
builds citizenship. It is up to you to do your
"good turn" and be generous when some bright
young Cubs ask you to buy an apple on Sat-
urday. In this way, you will be encouraging
the boys themselves and their leaders to con-
tinue doing a good job for Canada.
You Can Help Prevent Fires!
TO MARK what has come to be known
"Fire Prevention Week," Mayor G. W. Nott
Fire Chief G. W. Rath have issued a pro-
ation calling attention to the period—of-
ldy designated for the current week -and
ueeting a•sincere effort on the part of citi-
of the town to remove all fire hazards.
ey point out that the present low insurance
es, which this town enjoys, are due to rare-
ness on the part of the citizens, and the
icieney of our Fire Department.
Clinton Public 'Utilities Commission also
cooperating in the campaign by publishing
ew "don'ts" with regard especially to elect -
wiring and connections. The Commission
es people to study the rules to stop fires.
Only by cultivating an ever-present sub-
scious attention toward the commonsense
guards against fire can one avoid the sud-
tragedy, hailed so often during the year
the banshee -like wail of fire engines. To
guard the things and persons you. cherish,
ton's Fire ••Ohief, Grant W. Rath, asks
ryone to start today to develop this sub-
scions attention to the commonsense safe -
rd of fire prevention,
Don't smoke in bed! • Enjoy your pipe or
cigarette; then make sure they are out! Keep
matches out of reach of children! Nearly 30
per cent of all fires are caused by the care-
less use of smoking materials.
Check your heating plant! One out of
every four fires is caused by faulty Insula-
tion and upkeep of furnaces, stoves, and chim-
neys. A yearly check should be made of the
complete system. All heating planes, pipes or
appliances should be at least 18 inches from
any wall or burnable material, Heaters, in-
cluding stoves, should be on insulated metal,
cement or other fire-resistant material. Wells
and stoves should .be protected by guaranteed
fire-resistant insulation. A furnace should
never be forced beyond its capacity. Hot ashes
should be dumped into fire -proof containers—
never into a wooden box.
Check your electrical wiring! Your ap-
pliances. Constant watch should be made for
deterioration of wiring and flexible appliance
cords:
Check attics and basement! Get rid of
junk piles! Spontaneous combustion is a fre-
quent cause of fire. The only remedy es to
clean out accumulated junk and rubbish from
basement and attic.
