By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-6236 -887-9231 Oh my. another month shot. Days slipped off into, who knows where and weeks are now gone but for a fleeting memory. It boggles my mind some days that something as huge as 24 hours can get lost sp readily. Oh well. it was a good month. The autumn leaves are doing their best to keep a toehold on fall and not let winter get its grip into our days lust yet. The brilliant yellows, oranges and reds have been a joy to behold and if you let your imagination have a little fun you can see the paintbrush and roller at work. The trees around here offered a great picture and are quite comparable in retention and colour to the ones in the Beaver Valley and Georgian Bay area last week. So enjoy the last few bits of colour. Ralph and I spent a few days in Collingwood last week and the best part of the week, besides the mountains, three books, the Bay and the shops were the walking trails. Safe places to walk or bike are accessible around the area. The well- known, Niagara escarpment-Bruce trail and the newer Georgian Trail — which takes you to Meaford, as well as many shorter jaunts are all shown, with their access points on a tidy wee brochure — very handy. Parks, ditches, drain and rail accesses are all used to form the network of trails. Ot course walkways that show off the beauty of Georgian Bay are also used to encourage mobility of the population. The trails are all different in surface to walk on, scenery and points of interest. Things to see vary from the water, the old grain elevators, woodpeckers very busy in named bird gathering places to serene marshes and woodlots. What a calm way to enjoy the area — all very nice. The young set are getting their Halloween costumes ready for the parties of this week. What a joy to watch the fun of fantasy as they gather all the proper bits to make them into the character that often only they can see. Hurrah for children and the joy they share. The police, firefighters and citizens on patrol will be surveying .the dark hours this weekend as they do their civic bit to help the not-so- sleepy crowd stay out of permanent trouble. Thank you. Be alert to the extra foot folks on Oct. 31. Lots of parties and gatherings are planned, so have a safe Halloween. Get your goodies ready so you can enjoy the parade of costumes that your young visitors bring right to your door.
