Next day at noon, we hiked for home, 90 miles and went through the whole thing again that night. A recital in the home town. It was not 20 below, for a change. It was 30 below. But 500 people left their tele- vision sets, and shivered through the knifing night to hear my young virtuoso, as he doesn't like to be called. What impressed me most about the whole weekend was the kindness of people. My sis- ter-in-law wanted to hold a reception for the whole mob, in the city. Our neighbor in- sisted on making the sandwiches for the bash at home. Even my wife got carried away and told me, during one lapse, that I was a good husband and father, which shook me up a bit. The only thing that's bother- ing me is the kid's attitude. One of my misguided friends sent him a bottle of cham- pagne. A dear lady sent him ten bucks. And perhaps worst of all, he got a clutch of fan mail. After the weekend, we had a heavy fall of snow. I told him to get out and shovel the driveway. I handed him a shovel. He hand- ed it right back and asked, "How many fan letters did you get this week, Pops?" I shovel- led. Mrs. Coursey Restaurant holds Businessmen anniversary fete The Shamrock Restaurant was one of the busiest spots in Lucan last Tuesday as Mr. and Mrs. Tom Weller celebrated their first anniversary in their present location. Over 200 customers took ad- vantage of the free coffee and donuts from 9 to 11 am and from 2-4 pm. As for the turkey dinner the staff members were rushed off their feet. An extra turkey had to be cooked in the afternoon and even that was all consumed. Reservations were received from as far away as London. Some of the staff had to work from 7 am Tuesday to 1:30 am Wednesday. The alarm clock door prize in the forenoon and afternoon were won by Charles Graham of Lucan and Edwin McAlpine RR 3 Ailsa Craig. Many customers on leaving promised to return for the se- cond anniversary a year from now. Mr. Weller feels he made no mistake in moving to his present location for .business has been growing steadily. Some time ago he found it necessary to give "around-the- clock" service with Mr. Jack McIntosh in charge from mid- night until '7 am. Since custo- mers have learned of this ser- vice night business continues to grow. meet tonight dies at 'Home' I've had a preview of what I'm going to feel like when my daughter is married. I've just been through two piano recitals. Not by Glenn Gould, or Van Cliburn, or Artur Rubinstein. No, By Hugh Smiley. Marrying off your daughter must be just like it. A heady brew of emotion and exhaustion, bills and bouquets, that leaves you feeling like a caterpillar that has been run over, but not quite killed, by a tractor. In short, you wind up abso- lutely flat, but rather proud that you're not dead. The first recital was at the Conservatory, in the city. We picked the date six weeks be- fore. And, boy, can we pick 'em. It was 18 below zero. And the humidity and wind gave it a discomfort index of 47 below. The Old Girl was sick. physi- cally, mentally, spiritually. I was sick sympathetically. We figured 35 relatives, tried and true, and five friends to whom I owed money, would turn up. Bless the human race, and all dear friends. We had 150 bodies in the place, straggling in, on such a night, from all over the country. Some made a round trip of 500 miles to hear the kid play. It was a curious combination of characters in the audience. Basic were the relatives who live in the city, and their friends. They made up the two score we had expected. But then they started to trickle in: old college friends; old fighter pilots; old weekly editors; my son's former public school principal; the chap who has the mortgage on my house; the fellow who handles my col- umn; the orthodontist who straightens my daughters teeth; a girl I hadn't seen since we went skinny-dipping at a beach party 20 years ago. And they all, bless them, brought their wives, and, or husbands, children and friends. It was heart-warming, to say the least. And I was a very proud father and husband, when it was over. A proud father because my son showed a poise and polish I wish I'd had at that age, and a competence I've never had at any age. A proud husband, because my wife had crawled out of what she claimed The executive of the recently formed Businessmen's Asso- ciation met in the Mad Hatter tea room where the mailing list was discussed and the agenda for the next few meetings ar- ranged. The next meeting will be held at the Community Centre Thursday, Feb. 18 at 8:30 pm. Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Cour- sey, 86, of RR 1 Lucan passed away Sunday Feb. 14 at Strath- mere Lodge, Strathrcy.
