Letter From
The Publisher
By W. Leon Smith
Dear Cliff Towne,
This week "Overview” lists the
names of various elementary and
high school principals that have
served Clifton public schools over the
years. Some of the records staffer
Carole Martin, along with Superin-
tendent Richard Liardon, examined
were rather incomplete, so if you can
help us fill in the blanks, it will be
appreciated.
Principals have an important job in
coordinating various educaional as-
pects of the schools. They must
perform as leaders, as teachers, and
in many regards it is at their desk
that the buck stops when it comes to
their duties as disciplinarians.
Clifton has a positive reputation as
one of the better educational facili-
ties for cities its size throughout the
state, and you can bet that the
principals over the years have done
more than their share to make this
so.
The CHS Band will be performing
in a contest Saturday in Bedford. It's
their first marching contest of the
year and we, of course, wish them
well.
We expect that should they
perform with the precision and
musical ability they demonstrated at
last Friday’s football game they'll
have a good showing. We look
forward to their performances each
week and are yet to hear a better
band from opposing schools this
year.
As a former bandsman myself, I
am well aware that a lot more work
goes into being a band member than
one might think. It takes an intense
team and individual effort, complete
with hours of difficult practice and a
never-ending dedication toward con-
stant improvement.
The people of Clifton are very
proud of the CHS band, which, I’m
sure most agree, is perhaps the best
band Clifton has ever had. Their
dedication toward being the best is
revealed in every show they put on,
in every song they so boisterously
perform.
A century-old Clifton-area land-
mark recently got somewhat of a
facelift. If you've recently driven
over the old bridge near the Old Mill
Dam, you’ll notice a new coat of
white paint on the sideboards, along
with a few new boards.
Calvin Rueter's County Precinct 3
should be commended on a job well
done.

Chemical Lime, Inc., went to a call in
which a smoke alarm went off, and
most recently, last Tuesday, spent an
hour at a house fire on West 23rd
Street.
According to Fire Chief Joe White,
the house belonged to Kenneth
Lowrance, and damage consisted
mainly of smoke damage, with some
minor structural damage reported.
Apparently nobody was at home
when the fire started, said White.
"We think that it was probably
struck by lightning,” he said. There
were no injuries reported from the
fire.
Chief Warns About
Dirty Heaters
Fire Chief White urges all home-
owners to be sure to check out their
heaters prior to starting them up for
the winter. "Now is a good time to
do it," he said. “When the next
norther hits people will probably
start to make use of their heating
devices.” *
All flues, pipes, filters, and the
heaters in general should be cleaned,
he said, in order to help prevent
malfunctions that could lead to fires
or dangerous fumes.

LETTERS to EDITOR
Dear Sir,
I am a single Norwegian “girl" of
35 who would so much I ike to work on
an American ranch/farm, but being
one of the few Norwegians without
family in the U.S.A., I turn to my
fellow countrymen over there in-
stead, hoping that you can help me.
All my life I have wanted a life on a
farm/ranch, but being born and
raised a city girl this road has been
difficult to find. As a teenager I rode
horses, and twenty years old I spent
half a year in Canada as an exchange
agricultural student with the IAEA
(International Agricultural Ex-
change Association).
Unfortunately, I had to work in the
house although I wanted to be out-of-
doors.
Back in Norway I worked four
years for the Norwegian Veterinary
Institute tending serum producing
horses, sheep and goats. I applied for
a place at the Veterinary College, but
did not succeed, and was "caught"
in animal protection work instead,
working in the SPCA’s office 6V2
years. Still I was yearning to get out
of town and into farming and several
times I applied for a place at an
agricultural college, finally succeed-
ing last year.
One year of college wetted my
appetite for farming, and through
sheer luck I found a trainee job at a
mixed farm in Southern England for
six months. (My visitor's visa did not
allow me tostay longer). At this farm
I started right into lambing—out-of-
doors in pouring rain. It rained
almost non-stop for three months
and I’ve never been so cold in my life,
but I loved the job. There were only
270 ewes to lamb, but the farm also
have a beef suckler herd, pigs, and
cereals. I was in on all operations,
finishing my six months with carting
rain during harvest.
Sadly, when my time was up I had
to go, but I am only more keen than
ever, and I should love to learn more.
With Britain's 3,167,000 unemploy-
ed and Norway being no member of
the EEC, it is next to impossible to
find another job there, but maybe
there might be a chance in the
States? Somehow I prefer one of
these countries to my own, mainly
because I’m interest first of all in
sheep, beef cattle, and horses ("free
range” pigs are all right, too), and
none of these gives much profit here
in Norway where we've got overpro-
duction for all meat—mainly because
it costs too much! People can’t afford
to buy it!
I have one year of agricultural
college and half a year's training on a
mixed English farm and do not
consider myself inexperienced. Yet.
But I’m keen to learn and want a
proper job with wages good enough
to live on.
I may have got a late start, but I’m
healthy and still full of hope, and I
know that the American-Norwegians
stick together and help each other, so
maybe you will help me too to find a
job.
It doesn't matter which state
although it would be nice having
some Norwegians in the area.
And I'd rather not work with dairy
or battery set-ups. Otherwise I
should like to learn as much as
possible.
What about a work permit?
I know that what I’m asking isn't
the easiest thing to solve, but I still
hope that there is a way and a job for
me. For six months, for a year—it
doesn't really matter.
Hoping for a positive reply to my
address: Miss Berit Hal Ian, Voker-
ovn, 201B, Oslo 7, Norway, I remain
Yours sincerely,
Berit Hallan
