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.
Bye now, Betty G.W.

Getting the flu shot has never been
more important. Or easier.
Let's Beat the Flu!
We've all seen what can happen when serious infectious diseases invade our society. Influenza,
commonly known as the flu, is an infectious disease that comes with new strains every year, some
more deadly than others. But unlike some other infectious diseases, the flu is largely preventable.
Just, get your free flu shot. It's never been easier. Or more important. See your doctor, local
pharmacist, employer or call for a clinic near you.
