his head bowed slightly and
he seemed to stare at the
floor, and in the same almost
whispered tone he added, "1

bo b: .pus time all the young
women in the audience were
trying to control their running
mascara... and the young men
had their handkerchiefs out
pretending to wipe their
runny noses.
The minister's moving
story took only a few
minutes. Leaving lots of
time for him to tell us of the
glories of the government of
George Drew and of all the
great things it was doing for
the people of Ontario... and a
couple of hundred young
men and women were on the
edge of their seats, still
captives of the sentiment and
passion of his words -
soaking in the message about
the great future the province
will have under a Tory
government.... and believing
every word.
His story telling style was
something between the
sharpness of Benjamin
Disraeli and the homespun
manner of Samuel Clemens.
He cou J squeeze feeling and
spirit and soul from every
word and phrase.
Like all the rest, 1 was
deeply moved by the
message of this man... the
man most Ontarians knew as
"Old Man Ontario", Col.
Thomas L. Kennedy.
A few years later in the
early 1950's. i attended
another meeting where the
former minister and premier
was to speak. i was with
Hugh Latimer - the legendary
Tory organizer whose credits
include winning 21 by-
elections in -a row and three
General elections for Premier
Frost.... and like Mr.
Kennedy, -Latimer's father

area of Ontario.

Dear Editor:
Do you know what the

enrich our residents lives. Yes
- they"re playing bingo but
they're also attending weekly
church services, something

do at home. They're being
treated,to concerts by our
community's finest talent.
Thoy're dancing to the many
local old tymc music hands,
keeping time to the tunes of a
fiddle player or enjoying
music by a classical pianist.
They're going for outings to
community fairs and events,
shopping and sight-seeing at
a city mall and even taking in
a game of mini golf. They're
enjoying performances on
our front lawn by a local pipe
band or taking a horse and
buggy ride around our front
circle drive. The residents
adopted a Boston bulldog
named "Connie" who visits
every week to climb up on
their laps. Some arc baking
and doing crafts or even
enjoying a beer at a pub night
featuring live entertainment
by a wcil known local doctor.

Unusual book
In 1836, a young Scot by
the name of Rohcrt
MacDougall left his native
land to cross the sea. His
destination was Godcrich
Township in the Huron Tract,
whcrc two of his brothers,
Peter and John. had settled in
1833.
in the three years he spent in
the New World, Rohcrt
observed conditions and made
many notes. Whcn he
returned to Scotland he was
persuaded to publish his notes
and observations in a book in
Gaelic, the language
understood by his fellow
highlanders.
This candid and unusual
hook. full of MacDougall's
forceful opinions and lively
rhetoric, published in
Glasgow in 1841, has now
been translated into English.

Hugh and Tom Kennedy
were close friends - I knew
that. So I said to Hugh, "Do
you think you could get Mr.
Kennedy to tell that same
story he told us a few years
ago in Gravenhurst?" "You
know, the one about the old
lady in Caledon East
aif,lpting the little boy?" I
was surprised when Hugh
said, "I don't think he will,
for he won't remember it."
I just couldn't believe this
for it was the kind of story
and story teller I knew I
could never forget... soon I
was sorry I ever mentioned it.
Hugh grinned and said,
"He can't tell that story
because it never really
happened. He made it all up
- he is a great story teller."
Hugh walked away
laughing... as if he told me
something I should have
known.
In 1960 I began to
understand Tom Kennedy.
He had died a year earlier -
forty years after he first
became the tnember of the
