Carl answered the doorbell on May 21, Lucy leoke4 up from reading to Pee a tall well :bolt man standing in the ,'French doer- Way. "Yon don't know me;"" he Said. In haste to Change from her reading to distance spectacles, she answered. "Your face is aniiiiar!"

Not as liWiy Personals in it, as there used to bell like to read all the Hayfield news." "You do loek like Your father" Lucy remarked. JIM agreed.. S.oineone had said to him: "You're just Old ',W.A.' swinging down the street." (Jings father Wm. i1, Robinson of the Landon Life Insurance oropany had taught school here between 19Q3--06. He always iked the, village and when he married, rented summer cot- es until he built his own which his widow occupiefrin the umMen. About 1930, Jim and Hill Robinson and Bill Gammage of Lon- on started ,a summer project in J. W. Tippets comer store now Hrisso's Antiques), The boys had an old.•Model T.

When' Bill left school, his father leased the opposite corner lot from Mrs, Gairciner and erected the store portion of what is now Icerr's Market. Here Jim opened a little grocery and Snack bar,.., later . adding a restaurant. His brother Bill worked for him. Jim took, an active interest in Municipal affairs and served on the Trustee Board of the Police ;Village of Bayfield for a term prior to 1946. In the spring of that year, he sold the business to Maynard Corrie. The boys had, spent two winters at Key West and Jim was strongly attracted to Florida. First he went to Tampa for six months and then located at Clearwater. His mother spends the winters dear his home. One of Jim's first remarks was: "Hayfield is so beautiful. I've never seen so many tulips. I think it should be called "The Tulip Village." The Holland bulb salesmen certainly must bee put on a terrific campaign." Lucy wasn't so sure that the last remark was true. Perhaps the Clinton Horticultural Society had' . something to do with it, for with five tulip bulbs as yearly premiums to members here over the years, it adds up, Then,, too, perhaps tulips are more popular since Ottawa has been the recipient of the gift of so many tulips each year since the war from Queen Juliana of Holland. And that just reminds Lucy that a lady• from Brantford was in the village the first of May. She drove about and saw all the lovely daffodils, hyacinths and early tulips. She said to Lucy. "I thought I'd go to Ottawa this year to see the tulips, but now that I've seen such Pretty gardens in Hayfield, I don't think I wish to go." Jim. Robinson was on a business trip to South Bend, Indiana, Chicago. Ill, and Detroit, Michigan. He made arrangements to visit his mother from Friday to Wednesday. His two brothers Bill, Sarnia, Walter, Toronto, sister Mary with her husband and son, F. B. Schafheitlin and Donald, Cooksville were all home over the Victoria Day weekend. Jim Robinson told Lucy that they enjoyed the spring flowers for, a longer period of time. They came early in Clearwater. He and his wife (the former Mary Burnside who spent vacations here as a girl) have a summer home at The Highlands, North Carolina. As they drive north they see the flowers over again and later still at their cottage in the mountains. Asked about his family Jim said that their older daughter Brenda is finishing her second year at the Weslyn Ladies Col- lege, Macam, Ga. Jim, Jr., is about to enter Junior college and Linda is in . Junior High school. But when he told her that Mary's twin girls, SuSan and Judith Schafheitlin are graduating from Queen's University this year, it really made Lucy feel a bit on the ancient side. But she did appreciate• him taking time to call on her. He had meant to do so eleven years ago when his wife and children had spent a summer vacation here, but time had run out on him too quickly that trip. In taking his leave, he said: "Every time I come back the trees have grown larger, more houses have been built and I know fewer people." ion Ladles • Holds .Rally The annual zone .rally ef Zeno Cl of the Legien Ladies Aux- iliary was .held .Wednesday in Ilensall. at the Memorial Arena; Prier to the meeting members paraded, accompanied by the Exeter Legion Pipe Ranci,lrom the Arena along Main street to the Cenotaph Where a wreath was laid by Mrs, Ethel Tilbe, provincial officer, And Mrs. K Taylor, Henaall, silver cross mother.

It has always been my belief that aroand the next corner there is a challenge and often new beginnings. After my editorship of our hometown paper came to an endwhen the company was sold, I found around that pro- verbial corner, one of the most challenging and fulfilling ex- periences of my career. Whee! That is both an involved paragraph and much too long to be perpetrated by one who has been trained in the concise method of writing. It was a necessary lead, however, to an- nounce that this is the last column of Diary of a Vagabond. Before it wears out its wel- come in several hundred Canadian weekly newspapers, I realize that all promotion pro- grams must come to an end. During the past nine and a half years, it has been my good for- tune to ' make nation-wide friendships, both personal and in industry and to have seen a Canada, not too many of our citizens are privileged to know intimately. There are so many fields of endeavour open to women these days in which we can make a contribution. I feel I have chosen well in accepting an appoiritment in a completely new under- taking. It is in the public re- lations field and this new chal- lenge for my talents and ability will surely add to my under- standing of human relation- ships. I only hope that any contribution I make will be as satisfying and exhilerating as my travel experiences and the knowledge I gained as author of this column.
