Dear Sirs;
I did not get to Wingham while
in Ontario for the Howick reunion,
so am, sending the money for any
paper,
The reporter certainly did not do
justice to the Howick Centennial in
WrOx'eten It was a wonderful three
days. And the school picnic! 'I am
sorry I-forget to read the list of
teachers, I don't know if they miss-
ed any or not. We met so many
we haven't seen in years. It was 10
years since my sister Jessie was in
Wroxeter, so she saw many
changes. I have been back a few
times since that. I told Howard
Wylie the streets were narrower
but he said they were wider, which
may be true.
Words cannot describe the
church service on Sunday, My aunt,
Mrs. C. C. Pope of London, sat 'near
the back and she said she heard
most of the service. She is 78 years
old and wears' a hearing aid. The
church was, packed and I'm not sure that some didn't have to stay
outside. The luneh at noon was a
pleasant surprise. • It gave us a
chance to Meet more folk. I Met my
first school teacher, Mrs. C. M.
Hinde of "Wingham, She was Miss
Henry then. I think the women of
Howiek had 'a busy time 'getting
meals ready to serve for the visit-

joyed it very much • also meeting
more friends. Saturday in Gerrie
was another day long to be re-
membered, Everyone, everywhere
seemed glad to see the other folk.
The parade was so good but I for-
got to take my camera. I left it
where we were staying in Wroxeter
with Mrs. Davey. The rain spoiled,
the Sunday afternoon, service at
the memorial cairn,
Edith Martin Nelson took me as
far. as Ridgetoven on my Way to
Chatham to visit Ross Pope and
family (my brother) on July 2. I
had, a nice visit there and With
Jessie Burke and other relatives in
Lendon.
`Now I want to gTo to Morris re-
