The official closing of Dungan- non Presbyterian Church is to be 'held on Family Day, second Sunday in May. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Thompson and Joanne spent the holiday week end' at their summer home in Kincardine. It's been fun, and it's been challenging. There are plenty. of frustrations involved with coping in the whirlwind action of the city, and it was down-right difficult to adjust. The basic things of urban life, like not knowing the people next door, are often the hardest things to get used, to. Believe me, there are a few occasions when I want to move back home and stay there until the end of time. But it is possible to feel at home 'in the megapOlisrs using the subway system becomes an everyday hab- it and you meet others who are; likewise trying 'to' make a go of it; alone., in unfamiliar. territory. One of the real drawing cards of a large city is that it's impossible not to 'meet other people with the same interests and outlook as yourself. Of course, just mention• ing that you came 'from.the same home town as Paul Henderson makes people identify with you right away. I really wanted .to mention some' of the things that crossed, my mind about my small-town upbringing. On the occasions when. I feel most alienated, it 'is comforting to know that family and friends still care about me. A return visit back home is,a rewarding experience: you get to see old 4 acquaintances again, andreaffirm the perfection of mom's home cooking. It's also an opporunity to think about the good old days,' and to reflect on the exciting developments of the present. But a' visit home can point up more profound discoveries.' First, there are the changes in yourself that city life has caused. Some of :he innocence and easy-going attitudes have been replaced by aggressiveness, and enthusiasm for the cosmopolitan life.. Per-. sonal changes like that are often spotted by old friends. The Sec- ond value of visits ,home is that they demonstrate how. greatly the home town has influenced us emi- grants. We are ail trying to' fit in somewhere, and a good charac• teristic is our willingness to be friendly with other.people. We value those we can trust as close friends, and we suppOrt our desires for the good things of nature (like clean air) which often lose out in the asphalt jungle. The small town has its advan- tages, as does the city, but I feel it makes an excellent hOrne base for people "on the move" Ouch as myself). What else can I say, except that I'm proud that ltny background includes grow ing up in a Small town. KIN'rAIL NEWS Having been to North Ashfield Open fibuse the parents were de- lighted this year by the fine dis- play of pioneer, articles including clothes, books, impleinents and tools, household articles, and , entertainment . for which one whole room was used.

BY BRIAN farm My recent visit to Lucknow started me thinking (an unnatural phenomenon in any event) but I would like to share some of my ideas with the people of my home town. I am- one of many who were raised and educated in a small town, then set out in the world 'by emigrating to the big city.' At the adventurous age of eighteen, I said good-bye to mom and dad, and to the farm where I greW up, and became one of the 40.000 annual grants of the thriving metropolis of Toronto.
