AT MODERATE PRICES Owing to lack of space, am com- pelled to confine my repairs to watches only, 11 George Williams Located in 11 MASON'S STORE FIRST CLASS WATCH REPAIRS by Porbok have ham memories Pt the past We younger People have memories, hut they don't date back into that period when man was more dependent upon his neighbour. There are many of the old time habits still in use, though, thank good- ness, little things that bring us to a greater appreciation of what has come and gone. For example the other night was working in the garden, when across the river there floated the sounds of voices singing hymns. It took me a few moments to realize that here was one of the old time camp meetings, being held across the river. We don't have many of these any more, but there were plenty of them in the past when the travelling evangelists set up their tents and preached to the folks who gathered, Perhaps we need more of this influ- a page of tender history' that ',dates back a long way. The story of the old kissing bridge and the reluctant swain. and bashful maiden is indeed worth. recalling. The bridge, the horse and buggy and the corduroy roads all bring back pleasant memories, and few people realize that those old cor-, uroy logs are still holding up many of of our modern roads today. Many other habits and characteris- tics pf the past are still with us, and one of these recently brought out and given a thorough dusting off, partic- ularily in the storm areas has been the barn raisings and roofing bees, The community barn thrashings have gone by and so have the silo fillings, the wood bees and the butchering bees, but you still see an occasional farmer,'s wife rendering lard in the big black kettle in the back yard. Farm women still hold quiltings. there are still fowl suppers and the occasional strawberry social, but the C-1553C young marrlea couple nag rernalnen - although there have been some altera, tiona to the common practice, some that could very well be dispensed with at times. Hallowe'en isn't nearly as important, and neither is the 12th of July, but the fall fair is much more important. The old kitchen range with the wat- erfront, reservoir and warming closet isn't nearly as popular and the jars of preserves have been replaced by cans. The meat barrel is replaced by the deep freeze unit and the locker, and the warm brick by the electric heating pad. Yes times have changed, but memories linger on and it is nice to notice that our people are still keep- ing some of these memories with them, .Pr community that forgets it's past, hasn't much of a future, The man who reminisces also looks ahead, and we must have foresighted people to advance our civilization and main- tain our way of life. All the Massey Commissions on arts and sciences are useless, if people forget to look back and use those memories to fashion the future. KITCHEN SHOWER FOR JEAN PENNINGTON A kitchen shower for Jean Penning- ton, bride-to-be of this month, was held at the home of Miss Jean Elliott, on Tuesday evening, July 7th. About twenty guests were present and the bride-elect was the recipient of many lovely and useful gifts. The hostess and her mother served a dainty lunch. CHIN FAMILY BUY TORONTO HOME The Chin family of Lucknow, have bought a home-in Toronto at 304 Glen Road, and the mother, Mrs. Rose Chin, has taken up residence in the city re- ports the LucknoVe Sentinel. Albert is remaining in charge of the restaurant, and is being assisted during the sum- mer by Morley and other members of the family. While the severing of the Lucknow, asociations is not complete, it is 'the first step in what may eventually lead to the departure of the entire family to Toronto, and such a move will be most sincerely regretted by Lucknow and district residents without excep- tion. The Chin family, individually and collectively, have been well mannered and exemplary in their conduct, They have played a leading and outstanding role in church, scholastic and sporting activities here and have won much favourable publicity throughout Wes- tern Ontario net only for themselves but for the Sepoy Town. They have been an ambituous, stud- ious family, and Toronto and the lar- ger centres afford them the opportun- ities and associations that Lucknow cannot offer as they reach adulthood. The best wishes of this ccmmunity go with them, and no doubt Lucknow will always be home to the Chins no mat- ter where they may be, Charlie Chin and his wife, Rose, came to Lucknow from Newmarket in 1928. Charlie died in September of 1951. There are fourteen children in the family, eleven sons and three daugh- ters: Jim, Harry, Sam, Frank, Bill, "SLIMY MONSTER" AT NEW HAMBURG EVADES SEAR'CLIERi4, The "slimy monster" that left its track through New Hamburg and then disappeared beside the Nith River has failed to appear again. The entire town is on the alert and Chief Constable George Thomas, who has taken one shot at it has searched diligently for it since. Meanwhile, as the mystery attracts considerable interest, residents have various theories to account for the slimy trail leading through town. Some believe it may be a big lizard or perhaps an alligator escaped from a circus, The track was wider than a bicycle trail, residents said, and a peculiar three-toed imprint accompanied it. Most agree the trail is different from anything ever seen hereabouts before, Marprie.
