Memories of CCI and others were revived when classmates called at 441Yliddlewood" on Sun- day evening where this corres- pondent was a guest, Renewing old friendships was Jack Ba.wden of Hamilton, for- manly of Clinton (known in those far off days as "Chick"), "Are you still teaching in Han~il, ton?" I asked, horning in on the reminiscenses. "Yes," he replied, "34 years I've been teaching-only six more to go-and I love it!' "Hamilton is the best city in Canada! Clinton is the best town -do you know that there are 32 houses in construction there now? But the old Town Hall! What a mess! What a mess!" My eye brows lifted. "Yes, the downstairs is beauti- ful, They have a nice court room, municipal offices and fire-hall. And next door is the fine library. But that upstairs!

She 'attributes her delightful sense of humour to the fact that she "chose" the right parents. Daugh- ter of the renowned Emily Mur- phy, nee Ferguson, and Arthur Murphy, a reverend .gentleman, Evelyn is the only surviving mem- ber of this distinguished western Canadian family, Though the Rev. Arthur Mur- phy will be remembered by mem- bers of several generations for his wit, loving and understanding na- ture and great physical stamina, it was Evelyn Murphy's mother who played a part In moulding Canadian history. She has been immortalized in the commemora- tion of "The Emily Murphy Re- creation Park" situated on the banks of the Saskatchewan River, which winds through the City of Edmonton, When I was a child in Calgary, Alberta, my mother was a mem- ber of the Canadian Women's Press Club and a contemporary of the prominent press women of the day such as Mrs. Murphy, Cora Hind, Nellie McClung and Miriam Green Ellis, to name a few. She wrote reams abou,t their prowess as writers, but more of- ten about the struggle for wo- men's suffrage and the fight for the recognition of women as "per- sons". This was a crusade head- ed by Mrs. Murphy until women were granted the right to sit in the Senate as members. Her dau- ghter says that her mother would be shocked and provoked at the present apathy of women voters, for it was Emily Murphy, sup- ported by a committee of dedica- ted women, who was responsible for women being enfranchised in Alberta. Before I tell you about my de-, lightful experience in meeting Eve- lyn Murphy at a luncheon in Ot- tawa, when delegates of the trien- nial meeting of the Canadian Wo- men's Press Club were the guests of the Canadian National Rail- ways, let me remind you that her mother, Emily Murphy, was the first woman magistrate in the British Empire. She was also author of "The Black Candle", an early expose of the drug traffic. As its creator she chose the now famous pseudonym "Taney Can- uck". She was later made a judge and became a great moulder of character and opinion in western Canada. Her daughter, Evelyn, is a red headed person with the merriest blue eyes and a soft Irish inflec- tion in her voice. She is a big, jolly, middle-aged woman who lov- es life and whom everyone who meets her, instinctively admires, Mostly, her friends admit, for her attitude toward every day living and what she seems to 'gain in as peaceful and grateful frame of mind from her love of gardening and her hobby of collecting rare antiques. Being a colourful sort of per- son herself, it is easy to under- stand why she adhors the decor of "modern" homes. Especially the monotones which are presen- tly so fashionable. "They remind me of oatmeal porridge wall to wall", she remarked. This was during her discourse about her own home, which I inquired about. She spoke of her treasure trove of old Rockingham china, the Venetian glass horses she picked up in the Flea market in Paris and of her rare pieces of old sil- ver. But it was when she told me about her Chinese bedroom and the suite of red, gold and black lacquer furniture, that her won- derful sense of humour really shone. It appears there are four pudgy little Chinese women who adorn the four posts of the huge bed-"all of them pregnant" she said-which reveals part of her charm, the ability to poke fun at her spinster self. Though our interview was an hilarious one, I realized that this heather-suited, low-heeled individ- ualist, with her precious antique earrings bobbing with every word she said, is a serious and deeply religious thinker. She has been a member of the CWPC for 43 years and her newspaper exper- ience lasted for 'a quarter of a SUNSET DRIVE-IN THEATRE 1 1/4 Miles East of Goderich On No. 8 Highway THURSDAY -- FRIDAY and SATURDAY September 24, 25, 26 "The Big Circus" Victor Mature -- Rhonda Fleming Red Buttons CARTOON and COMEDY MONDAY -- TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY September 28, 29, 30 "The Big Operator" MICKEY ROONEY Mamie Van Doren CARTOON and COMEDY Dok Office Opens 8.. 04n.

One of her more recent creative efforts is an article on "Saying Grace". She has also bad several articles pub- lished in Vancouver, When asked to choose a brief excerpt from her mother's writ- ing to be inscribed on the bronze tablet in the new memorial park at Edmonton, Evelyn Murphy de- eided on this one: "The west hath no need of an interpreter, it only hath need of heralds", World tra- veller 'that she is, the west could have no better herald than Eve- lyn Murphy, County Home Ladies To Show Crafts At District Fall Fairs The ladies of the county met on Monday afternoon in the Home at Clinton. Mrs. F. G. Thompson chaired the meeting. Mrs. Web- ster and Mrs. Scrimgeour, BIyth, were appointed as the publicity committee.

"Remember Ca Commence- ments? It's just the same! There's an old settee there, a relative of Louis XIV-1714. It's been there since the first concert in 1902. "And the place is littered with waste paper. And the dust! Whew! Do you know, if a blower were put in that old hall upstairs, it would cause a dust storm which would cover Clinton. It's a disgrace! "Hamilton is the best city; Clin- ton is the best town! And Bay- field is the best village! "What has happened to the Ed- wards? I saw an old wheel outside the window. "And how is Mrs. Toms ? She was good to me-a nice woman- mended my clothes when I work- ed for Winnie O'Neil in the groc- ery, in their shop during the sum- mer. And "Louie MacLeod-is he still catching fish?" And then the topic changed to other subjects, but his running commentary on local conditions and reminiscenses was refreshing. The words tumbled out with hardly a pause for breath. There was no time for a cosy chat. 0 PAM VIVA USE NEWS-RECORO. CLASSIFIED ADS--IT WILL PAY YOU! ANNIVERSARY SERVICES ONTARIO STREET UNITED Sunday, September 27th CHURCH
