Clinton News-Record, 1949-10-27, Page 4PAGE POUR CLINTON NEWS -RECORD Let's Chat A Woman's Viewpoint on This and That By MBA Santa Claus Caine early this year to the citizens of Clinton... It was like awakening to a new World after the first snow of the winter to look out and see the black ribbon of smooth pave- ment throughout the town . , and to see the difference in ap- pearance it makes to the main street end other highway streets , Of course, we know it wasn't Santa Claus — but the Ontario Government and ourselves — the taxpayers of the town who are responsible . • . Undoubtedly we will all feel it in next year's tax rate . . It is pleasant to know that the province -wide bad reputation Clinton has had for poor roads will fade into distant memory... Also the long suffering house- wives on Vinegar Hill, who have battled dust and mud for three years will have encouragement now when they clean verandas 'and windows , .a r Apropos of children playing on the highway—which we mention - last week, the ears and trucks are whizzing up and down the hill . , and mothers would be !Well-advised tq watch the play- ing habits of their children . . , a a IWe went down to London Sat- ,urday to see Western beat Var- sity and that was what happen- ed It was our first inter- ! collegiate game since we Ismer IWestern defeat Varsity in To- rcnto in 1939 ... end the first time we had been back to the Western stadium since — weld, since we graduated some years ago . , In our day, Western was the underdog in senior inter- collegiate football, with never more than four or five thousand loyal fans in attendance , , .

A wife is an illogical creature Who asks "Where did you have it last?' and goes there, and there it is! . Making history alive is the aim of a good history teacher We were interested to learn that this is being accomplished by Miss Jamieson in her Grade VII Social Studies class ... and that the News -Record has played a small part in it ... Miss Jamieson and her class are studying the pioneer life' of our district . , And the students are making scrap books with pictures, draw- ings of clothes and clippings of the Historical Sketches of Huron County, published in this' paper Too often in the past, we Canadians have been prone to look with distain on our short historical background, especially is this so everywhere in Canada, except Quebec But with some interest end. a bit of study, we soon find the life and strug- gles of our early pioneers are just as fascinating as those parts of American history glamorized by the movies . . More power to Miss Jamieson and any other teacher who can make us proud of the heritage that has made Huron County one of the finest THURSDAY, OCTOBER, 27, 1949 Presbyrteriala' VVMS Holds Thankoffering Ts meete ing annual Thankoffering of the WMS of Clinton (Presbyterian Church was held at Ithe home of Mrs. Charles Clifton.
