the first time it was up for
competition, We have an ex-
tremely active club down .here,
have jitney bowling three tim-
es a week, Tuesday and Thurs-
day evenings and Saturday
afternoons and nearly all the
members turn out, about two
dozen always bowling, have a
membership of about forty.
Also, have quite a few
tournaments, three pot luck
suppers a year and a Christ-
mas party, In the winter they
play cards once a week. Have
several members from St.
Thomas as there is' no lawn
bowling club up there. About
a month ago Rick, myself .and
another lady won second prize
at trebles tournament.
1 love it at Port but find
the ihumidity •this summer a
bit overpowering, it :has cer-
tainly' been a wonderful hot
summer for a resort town.
We eagerly await the paper
each week and enjoy reading
it although the names are sure
changing and many of them I
never heard of when I was
there. Also, am amazed how
big and grownup the young
people are getting, especially
the ones' that I had in the jun-
ior choir at St, Paul's. Jerry's
girl Candy is in the choir
down here. She is 11 already.
Everyone is fine .and very
active, such a different year
for me than was 1960. That
year I shall never forget!
Best regards to you all and
if you are ever in Port be sure
to come and see us.
Sincerely yours,
Helen W. Elliott.

"YOUR WESTINGHOUSE DEALER"
TO GRANDMOTHER
Clinton News -Record
Please tell Mrs. Anonymous
that we liked her poem "Grand-
mother's Day" very much. It
is an accurate picture .but only
tells half the Story.
Actually the were 39 of us
enrolled to learn our a'bc'h one
September morn quite a num-
ber of years ago. Approximat-
ely half of us , , or 193 of
us, grew up to be like that
grandmother of the poem and
the other :half' grew up to be
lazy as 'all -get -out.
Our kitchens and our barn
yards stank to high heaven and
our kids went to school with
holes in their pants where
patches should !have been and
the only legacy we left to our
children was a mortgage to pay
off on the weedy farm or on
the sagging town 'house that
wasn't founded on a rock.
All ,honour to grandmothers
and grandfathers, of which I
am one, but it is just nostalgia
and natural human generosity
that makes us think the old
days and the old people were
better stuff than those who are
running ,the world to -day,
With no effort at all I can
think of a dozen folks who at
age 40 in this year of grace
1961, crate as much into any
given day as any of my genera-
tion ever did and towards: 11
p.m. when the last kid has been
accounted for and they sit re-
laxed watching "Have Gun,
Will Fire" or "The Flintstones"
they have just the same feel-
ing es your poem 'grandmother
who sat at the organ and play-
ed "Perfect Day." '
For instance I could give you
a married school teacher on
Highway 4 north, e priest up
near Powassan, a Girl Guide
Leader in Uxlbrid'ge with half
a dozen kids of her own to
wash and mend, and .a feed -
merchant who undelinquentizes
delinquents 'by the dozen with
baseball bats and hockey sticks
and on Sunday goes to church
as regularly, as did the village
blacksmith whose daughter
(aur teacher said) sang in the
village choir.
If I could throw a stone as
far as I used to be able to
throw 'a stone I could throw
one into the yard of a modern
kid . . . probably age about
35 . . . who fills 178 feet of
clothes -line with very white
washing twice a week; has pre-
served 113 jars of garden stuff
that could be bought in cans
with pectin added and the taste
left out; gets to church with
her brood without fail; teaches
in the primary class; goes to
PTA without fail; entertains a
nay -load of visitors at least
twice each week; belongs to a
bridge club; cheers for the kids
at most local bail games and
knows more about Mr. Krush-
chef, Premier Frost and Tom
Kennedy than any of us knew
about Sir Wilfred Laurier,
Theodore Roosevelt and the
then reeve of Tuckersnv.th.
Tit was a nice poem about the
dear dead days of long ago but
it was only •the picture of half
of us.
Will you ask Mrs. Anony-
mous to write another in the
same key but use as her model
a woman living currently on
Huron Street or another, not
yet 'a 'grandmother, living on
Mary Street.
Very respectfully,
—FRED SLOMAN.
Clinton, Ont.
Sept. 7, 1961.
Ed. Note: The grandmother
poem was reprinted last week
from a weekly in Lapeer, Mich.,
and we will see that that paper
receives .a copy of this one.
