May's the time when people begin to think seriously of
summer. Despite the growing trend to winter vacations, summer
is still the biggest vacation time of the year, particularly locally
with our proximity with vacation playgrounds and summer
theatres.
As a salute to that coming vacation period a look this month at
two very different ways of vacationing, one taking it with you and
one getting away from it all. In recent years motor homes and
travel trailers have become big business. Many people want to
take their comfortable lifestyle along with them when they go.
For other people the idea of a vacation is to get away some
place quiet. For more and more that place is Westover Park
on the edge of St. Marys, a quiet guest house on impressive
grounds with a fascinating history.
Summer for people in the Wingham area this year will mean a
big celebration. It's the 100th anniversary of the town's
incorporation and thousands will be returning from all over the
continent to help celebrate. We take a look at the history of the
town.
Orlo Miller is a man fascinated by history and by famous and
infamous characters in that history. He is in turn a fascinating
man as we discovered recently on a visit to his London Home.
Another fascinating person is ballet teacher Miloslawa
Zablocki of Clinton who talked to Elaine Townshend about her
background, her work and her many students over the years.
• And a familiar name to many long-time readers of Village
Squire has a new book out this month. Robert Laidlaw
contributed many stories to the magazine before his death in
1976. He also wrote a novel about pioneer life called The
McGregors which has just been published by Macmillan. We
have a review of it here.
