The WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27g 1976 LETTER TO THE !EDITOR. • Writes Of Life In.Purvannon, . 'Northettrfreland, 59 Kinnyman Road Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, -N. Ireland, August 22nd, 1976. The 'Editor, lucknow, Sentinel, Lucknow, Ontario, Canada. Ct Dear Sir, Again I thank you forgiving my letter space in your columns and for sending me a copy .of. the relevant Sentinel. I am able to keep this intact due to the kindness of Mrs.. Sheila Campbell, Box 279, Luck- now, who always sends me spare cuttings, one for my scrap book and others to share with readers here*. This time, she also sent me very pretty stickers which I find most useful in keeping' my outgoing correspondence attractively secure. Mrs. Campbell is now in touch. with a dear lady, Mri. Elizabeth McStay of Mullabrack, Markethill, Co. Armagh, who went to Canada as a bride of 23 in 1927, returning to this country during the Hungry Thirties. She is widowed now and remembers her early days on the Canadian prairie with great nostal- gia. I'm hoping she and Mrs. Campbell will enjoy their exchange . of memories. It was through an article of mine published 'in a Belfast paper that she _A and I became friends. So you will see 'that, my debt to newspapers both here and there is a continuing One. Mrs. Orma Murdoch, Toronto, tells me that through the Lucknow Sentinel, she has 'rediscovered old friends, Douglas and Betty Bnrd- ette, formerly neighbours and now ' resident . at 6 St. John's Blvd„ Pointe 'Claire, Quebec, who read her name in my published' letter and got in immediate contact. So . that was Iovely, wasn't it? Not- just that, but I understand Mrs. Murdoch plans to visit the during Seitetnber. You ,can imagine I wrote back at once, urging her to include my home on her travels. In my next instalment, I hope I shall, be telling you of ',happy times we've spent together, also that she-will strike gold id her search for relatives. One who has been incredibily fortimate 'in this respect Js Mrs. Dorothy Wardell" of R. R. 1 Ripley, who would appear to share her family tree with my sister's husband, Eric N. Irwin, a local solicitor. He has been in poor health recently, spending three months in .a Belfast hospital after a critical operation, but you will be glad to hear that he has now made a very good recovery. He is back 'at his work, again and intends to contact Mrs. Wardell shortly regarding their joint ancestry. I have also put this same Mr: Wardell in touch with Mr. and Mrs.- James Robb and family, who live close beside me at 53 Killyman Road, Dungannon, and it' seems that they also share a family tree, so she's been. doubly successful. During our recent holiday, I tried to ' trace Ashton connections in Wales on behalf of Steven Park of Dungannon, Ontario, but I Under- stand now'from his mother that her Ashton ancestors came from Devon in England, so perhaps ,later on they'll be able to make their own voyage' of discovery around that beautiful part of the world. In the meantime, I have put Steven in touch with a Canadian girl, Lynn Copeland, now living in Coalisland, and an Ulster girl, Sharon Fletcher of Caledon, both in' the Dungannon district. Maybe. they will have more 'success than I have had in tracing his Irish Park ancestry. Here in Ulster, times are, sad but there is a 'new peace movement under way. that we hope will go from strength to strength. Women everywhere are joining together in grief and in.love. In my own small way, I help wherever I can, especially with my writing and with speaking engagements now stret- ching as far ahead as' April 1977. Mrs. Sheilakampbell has just sent me' a most beautiful Canadian . pictorial calendar for 1977, so' you can imagine I was thrilled to bits with that and it is already much in use. In Jarivary of next year, I will have the great • excitement of speaking in my grandather's church at Malone, in Belfast. How happy my parents would be! Here in Noythern Ireland, we now have a new commercial radio 'station which I rang the other night. They have chats and phone-ins sal rang to offer cuttings of my Japanese poplar to anyone with room to grow it. Seven years ago,, I planted a twelve inch cutting: Now it is 30 or 40 feet tall and reproducing itself like, rasp- berry cane, with baby poplars sprouting round its bag-6 and coming up through my husband's carefully mowed lawn! Soon it will take over altogether like the 'Sleeping Beauty's forest, so we'll have to cut it. down, but I want to give . away as much of it as I can before ,that dread, deed is done, because it has the most beautifully scented leaves.. Such was the response that cars rolled rip at our gates from all 'arts and parts and . the radio station asked me to broadcast again, which, of course, I did. Now ' they themselves are going' to grow, my poplar in their own plot of grotind and say the3i will call it the "Mollie-tree"! All this will be a great boost for My Plant for Peace campaign, when from September on, I give away.lialf my garden to all who are willing to make ,this a better, happier country to live in. It has been.a splendid year for roses and I wish you could see our garden, also the garden I planted on waste ground for our town. Maybe some -day you will,. I wonder do you know a Mr. Barry McCullagh, editorial writer for the Intelligencer in Belleville?

If you're ever in touch, please say "Hello" for 'me. • Greetings to all 'my new friends. • I feel very near to' you all for now, reading the Lucknow Sentinel from cover to cover, I often come across names that are familiar to me as though I'm not , a stranger any more.
