TON MITI; — W. O. Mitchell
As in his earlier novel "Who
HaS Seen The -Wincl?"—W. 0,
Mitchell has ,iroduced .an. un
.forgetable story, The setting is
a small town in the Alberta
foothills and Mitchell .exceliS
in portraying characters who
live in a small close-knit com-
munity,
David Lang, free-lance journ-
alist and TV 'panelist, is .com,
missioned to write a profile of
"Daddy" Sherry • of Shelby,
Alta., who would celebrate his
111th birthday in a few •weeks.
The oldest living nerson in
Canada ,"Daddy" is Older 'than
Canada and ibelieved to he the
oldest person in the world, and
Mayfair lVfagezine was willing
to -send -Lang fOr an intimate
interview • with the old man,
Lang had spent his boyhood
years in Alberta .and some of
the memories return'to him as•
he travels westward, especially
the remembrance of the time
that he. almost flew the birth-
day kite. •
Setbacks such as a roam in
the small hotel over the beer
parlor; the frustration of not
"getting 'through" to "Daddy"
Sherry at the first interview
are enough to make him plan
an immediate return to Mont-
real. Fortunately his sense of
journalism assures 'him that
there is a real story in "Daddy"
Sherry.
• The story is nicely balaneed,
narrating the • present time
events concerning the plans for
the public observance of "Dad-
dy's" 'birthday and some of the
intidents from his memory of
over 100 years. He recall's facts
and anecdotes from the days
of the Fenian Raids, The Riel
Rebellion, the , Boer War — oh.
yes "Daddy" says he can prOve
that he is really Hi because
the records at Goderich prove
'that he was born 'three miles
east of Bayfield, in Huron
County.
No one could expect a time
sequence in the life story • of.
John Felix "Daddy" Sherry. His
mind of 'the day, a stray word
or phrase- would start a flood
of reminiscences. Lang.gathered
these stories and worked over
them carefully, thoughtfully.
There seemed • to be one note-
worthy incident omitted and
he always failed to prod some-
one into relating it—something
Correspondent Mrs. Bert Allan
, The Women's Institute met
on Thursday and the president
opened the meeting with 'the
Ode and Mary Stewart Collect
