MOSTLY IN CLOVER
HARRY BOYLE'S BOOK
DELIGITFUL READING
Harry J, Boyle, former school-
mate of many Wingham residents,
former CKNX employee and now
radio. prngrem development offie
cer for the CBC in Toronto, has
published his first book. "Mostly
in Clover" will delight the heart
of many a reader who calls West-
ern Ontario home, but it will be
of particular joy to Whose .in this
locality who have travelled the
same roads and attended the same
schools the author describes.
If you know Harry J. personally
the book is even more entertain-
ing, for one can all but hear the
Irish lilt on his tongue as he tells
about his grandfather "who had
nondescript hair that looked like
shredded wheat and a red beard
that wind, weather and chewing
tobacco had stained."
The biting frosts of .a long win-
ter, the giddying freedom of
spring's first green grass between
bare toes, the unmatched scents
of Christmas cooking in the big
farmhouse kitchen, are but a few
of the sensations of boyhood in
the country evoked by the writer.
He tells with fond remembrance
of the hired men, good and not so
good, fastidious and otherwise. His
mother was the strong and reliable
fortress of his youth, who in times
of financial strain always seemed
able to squeeze enough cash out
of her teapot vault on the side-
board to tide the family over.
Though he calls few of the
characters in his tales by their own
names, many of them will be
recognizable to folks in this part
of Huron County . . and their
weaknesses and shortcomings are
painted in the softened colors of
deep human understanding.
He hone you will enjoy Harry
J. 13oyle's "Mostly in Clover" as
murk as we did. You will find
copies at Mason's l nnle Store.

"In any case it is not the price

pay for the things we need to
buy."
He went on, "The strike by em-
ployees of the Royal York Hotel
in Toronto is stupid and ridiculous.
They (the strikers) are only wear-,
