TEN NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
FOR THE TOWN OF CLINTON
Here is CLINTON NEWS -RECORD'S random idea
of ten New Year's Resolutions for the Town of
Clhiton. Yours may be much better„ but, hi any
tea°, we should like you to read them over and let us
know your reactions, whether favorable or unfavorable.
1—We should elect GOOD MUNICIPAL GOVERN-
ING BODIES and support them when chosen (Nominations
Dec. '30, election Jain. 6).
2—We should organize a live CHAMBER OF COM-
MERCE or Board of Trade, working in cooperation with
the Town Council, thus giving the town a needed "lift."
It can be done.
3—We Should improve the new COMMUNITY
PARK for the benefit of all the people—childr,n as well
as a:dolts.
4—We should complete the NEW SEWERAGE
PROJECT and get the STREETS cleaned up as quickly
as possible.
5 ---We ,should pay a little more attention to the
APPEARANCE OF OUR TOWN by fixing sidewalks and
streets; by cleaning up weed4nrested vacant lots; by
painting and repairing store fronts and houses; by keep-
- ing business and residential premises clean and tidy.
6—We should provide facilities for the proper
• development of the YOUNGER GENERATION, in body,
mind and character.
7—We should help. ease the HOUSING SHORTAGE
by cooperation on the part of those who possess unneeded
or unused accommodation in their homes which might he
utilized for very practical purposes.
8—We should be on the alert for the establishment
of NEW INDUSTRIES. Here's where a Chamber of Com-
• merce might be of real value.
9—We should do everything in our power to promote
full cooperation bet -ween the Town of Clinton and its
citizens and personnel of CLINTON RADAR AND COM-
MUNICATIONS scgooL, and incorporation, in effect,
of the School in the Clinton community (broad inter-
pretation) .

A NEW YEAR -MESSAGE
A fresh clean sheet He gave to me
A year ago today,
Determined I was to keep it clean
But sin crept in the way.
• Last night I handed it back to Him,
Dirty and blotted and grey.
• "Forgive me, dear Lord," I said to Him,
• And then I heard Him say—
"Dear one, the sheet I gave ito you
Was a record for every day,
Instead of asking ray strength and help
•You went your own wrong way,
I freely forgive the sins of the past,
A clean sheet I give you today,
• My true help ispromised hour by hour,
I will never say you nay."
"As the year rolls on, I pray, dear Lord,
„ That from Thee I will not stray;
That close to Thee I may ever keep,
For strength from day to day."
Queen Elizabeth Hospital, —Margaret Small

If the Town of Clinton is to receive good municipal
government hi 1947, it defkiltely is the duty of it citizens
to See that good men—and sufficient a them-- are nom-
inated for the various offices next IVfcmda3r, December 30,
from 12 to 1 p.m. Then all should plan to attend the
public meeting in the Town Hall the same evening to hear

A native Western Orbtarian assumes the mantle
today of Lieutenant -Governor of Ontario. Ray Lawson,
OBE, should make a good representative of His Majesty
in this province. A successful business man,. he also is
endowed vvith"personal qualities, which shOukl make him
a worthy successor to Hon. Albert Matthews, who has held
• the position with dnction for more than nine years.
Mr. and Mrs. Matthews were no snobs a.nd those who
• know the Lawson farnity best know that they are not,
a faet which Toronto "Society" also wiI find out soon
enough. The rest of Western Ontario joins with the City
of London in a tribute of respect and Igoodwill to Hon.
Ray Lawson!
1The Party System
by
R. J. Deaehman
ex M. P. for North Huron
Some time ago II. E. Rice of the
•HuntsvilleForester, one of the many
bright 'country editors of the Province
of ()Maio, put Out a story in which
•he suggested that we should have the
same policy at home as abroad, that
is all parties ,should unite on a comm-
on purpose, while the dear eld party
system Walked out the window.
To this I replied that criticism was
worth retaining, we should develop
it rather than repress it, and that
elimination -of criticism might be the
death of good government.
NOW Mee Rice comes , back with
these words:
• "We are not persuaded that the
vehies of criticism, as we know it
in the House of ,Commons, are such
• as to justify the many weaknesses
of our party system. We place a
party in power because it has a
majority of followers in the House
pleged to support its platform. Any
member adhering to SUCh a party,
who dares to eritise the leadership,
or breaks from the policies laid
down by caucus vote, is ostracised,
and usually read •out of the party
parliamentary groun. • In other
words, for him, criticism is fatal."
I want to get this matter clear. So
long as, Brother Rice and I continue
the fight there will be nothing done
about it, So in a spirit of conciliation
I offered to go 50-50 with Mr. Rice.
My contention is that if all parties
were abolished how couldthey be
prevented from being born again. Men
with common views would group to-
gether in order to carry out their pur-
pose so that all Mr. Rice's effort
would be lost.
Now here's where the 50-50 coned
in. The two old parties are coniing
together. The differences between
Liberal and Conservat've are no long-
er clearly, Masked. If a man from
Mars came along and studied the sit-
uation for a few years he would have
difficulty in distinguishing which was
which, in time the dividing line is
likely to diseppear.
Under these conditions much time
is wasted. The Reese spends time
going hack over past history, living
on the ancient grudge which once ex-
isted and never dies. Join the two
old parties in wedded bliss and let
Mr. Coldwell take the others — he
will have his hands full which will
be good for him. Mr. Rice will then
have what he wants, less talk and
more action — and this is important
I shall have the pleasure of writing
about it, telling the funny things
which are certain to happen.
If I am eight in this contention
union is inevitable. The narrower the
dividing line becomes the easier it
will be to cross. It may take time to
bring it about but it will come. There
will be substantinl gains in such a
move, not the least of which will be
a better House of Commons.
Mr, Rice and I are upon open
ground, We are trying to find a better
way of doing things. It is a subject
which ought'to be discussed especially
by weekly papers. The nation wants
a more efficient -House of Commons.
It wants one that does more 'work in
less time. one in which the casual
visitor ean decide, at a Malice, the
side to which he belongs. It's so hard
to decide to With party a man he.
longs when he can't see with the nak-
ed eye the difference between the two.
P. S. — What are we going to do
about the Senate? The Senators will
