The last few weeke have been days for rereembering—remern, baring back to when I was a very little girl growing up in .a small town and in a very special neighborhood,. It all began with a letter from a column reader who ad- vised me that she was my babysitter when I was a child, I remember the gal who wrote the letter - I remember her family and the home in which she lived - but I can't recall any times when she was my babysit- ter, Guess I haven't got total recall in that area. And then came an invitation in the mail from a couple who used to live up the street from our home in that neighborhood. The note asked me to attend their fiftieth wedding an- niversary and I must say I was really pleased to go. And finally, while walking to keep an appointment, in my town, I met some more people from that neighborhood. We stopped and had a pleasant chat picking tip bits and pieces from the past and bringing them up to present day. I can't begin to tell you the warm, warm feelings I've had in the last few weeks because of these people. There's something about going back in memory to your childhod when things were solid and secure and without the responsibility and frustrations of adulthood that instills peace in the soul, My parents were very or- dinary folk. Our neighbors were too. I guess the whole neigh- borhood was ordinary in lots of respects, but to me, these days, it seems very special. 'At the wedding anniversary celebration, for instance, I met the little boy - now six foot tall and a high school English tiprALEK TRICIAN;Ays HOPIADO- YOU-DO filop AND NEIGHBOURS /;V rr ALEX TRICIAN' YOULL BE SEEING ME IN THE ADS RUN BY YOUR FRIEND BUDD KUEHL at HURON PINES ELECTRIC se King St. Phone Clinton 4824901 dlov•vivammonValommlom.o.0.m.VosvovallomvvolvmsovomMavvv teacher with whom I used to play, Somehow I didn't remember any of the bad times we must have come through as all children do. Instead, I re- called only the fun tiraes,..and I'm still remembering them even though our visit was short. As I entered the family home, I looked at the two giant trees in front of the house. When we were kids, these were just saplings and I remember how often we heard from my friend's father, " Get away from those trees, You'll break them oft" I mentioned that to my old neighbor as I noted the trees were tall and straight, providing welcome shade on a hot summer day, "Looks like they survived in spite of us," I told him. He smiled.... and confided that they have often wished we would have killed them because their roots sometimes cause a problem for them now. As I sat in the same livingroom I remembered as a child, I looked around me and remembered many,. many things....like the smell of wax as my friend's mother shone the hardwood floor until it glistened and the repeated war- nings to "use the back door" necause the livingroom floor was to be kept in apple pie or- der at least for the day. I looked around at the faces which came and went. Many of them I remembered. Some I did not. But of those I remembered, I thought how little they have changed and how wonderful they look. I really felt "at home" somehow though ,I'd been away for nearly 30 years. Since that great experience, I've been thinking over and over thoughts of the old neigh- borhood where I grew up. My thoughts are good and they make me happy, For the last few days, my biggest pleasure has been just sitting and remembering and feeling in- stantly happy and content. For soneone like me, memory is a precious thing, Through memory, I can have the parents I lost in death and regain the security of childhood which was snatched from me at such an bedroom; I can play again in the hay mow; I can climb again in the orchard; I can roller- skate again on the sidewalk; I can laugh again with my friends; I can swim again in the river; I can dream again under the bridge; I can live again with those orclinay folks who knew me and liked me and remember me now that I'm old.

Several of the community have been down to see Gary Tebbutt in St. Joseph's hospital in London, where he will be for some time.
