Town Talk this week has
been reduced to a mere
stutter. You all have left me
high and dry for news.
So now you will have to pit
up with Gibb's Qleanings.
And I really made only one
gleaning - and that was t� find
out that Dr. and Mrs. Ken
Wood have returned after a
very enjoyable two week
holiday in the United
Kingdom. They toured
England and Scotland in
much better weather than
that which they had left
behind in Huron County.
The highlight .of their trip
was attending the Memorial
Service in Westminster
Abbey for Lady _Baden-
Powell. Donna's comment
was that it was a great thrill
to be in the centuries-old
abbey for this occasion.
Reflecting briefly - Lady
Baden-Powell was the widow
Of the founder of the Boy
Scout movement, Lord
Baden-Powell, often known
as B.P. or The Chief.
Scouting had its birth at the
turn of this century when in
1908 Baden-Powell took 20
Eton school boys and East
End cockneys for a two week,,
camp. Thus the first boy
scouts to be followed later by
the -formation of the Wolf
Cubs. In 1910 the Girl Guide
Association was formed, with -
Lady Baden-Powell
becoming Chief Guide at a
later date. Brownies were
formed to correspond to their
counterparts, the' folf Cubs.

A
++A little more from one of
the late Robin MacPherson's
letters: Quote: We were
never very familiar with
streets'by their names unless
for some special reason, such
as Isaac and Joseph, on the
corner of which we lived.
These were the names of
Joseph and Isaac Rat-
tenbury, original settlers or
descendants of such.
At some time when Clinton
streets were opened up the
land for same was con-
tributed by the Rattenburys,
who owned, what I believe
was a farm there. Joseph
Street, was, I have heard
subject to a condition that Ike
(Isaac) Rattenbury would
always be allowed to speed a
r'ac-e horse up and down it.
Beyond the railway track,
at the foot of Joseph Street,
Ike maintained some horses
in a barn on the property and
daily used to drive one in a
two wheeled cart up and
down.

From UpJHere
by Shelley McPhee
It's 10:30 a.m. Our deadline for the newspaper is nearly
up. Editor Jim is prodding me on to get my column
finished in time. I have pages of notes in front of me on
every topic imaginable; -one of which is destined to.
become this week's inspiration, or should I say
desperation.
I usually work my best'When the pressure is on and I'm
faced with the no return task of putting something on
paper but I'm suddenly at a loss for words.
Language was to be my topic for this week. I planned to
comment on.how the sound of words often reflected their
meaning. The difference between the soft, lovely sounds
in the word lullaby compared to the hard sounding ad-
jectives and vowels in the word crunch was one such
illustration I was going to use in my list of the most
beautiful and the worst sounding words:
However, as I sat ,down and began typing my
masterpiece, I realized that I was getting way off topic,
since I really didn't know enough on the subject to fill up
two pages of paper.
A column on the various mail the News -Record
receives in a week seemed like an interesting and
perhaps comical subject to write on, but Jim has been
sorting through the correspondence this week and the
only mail I have noticed is my PUC bill and a sub-
scription offer to McLean's Magazine. Hardly wor-
thwhile.
Despite the fact that I had already written a column on
fall, the colors of the trees and the nightly bonfires
lighting the streets temporarily inspired me last night as
I drove through town, but fall is an overwritten subject at
this time and it could only lead -to gloomier thoughts like
w inter.
Of course, Queen Elizabeth's visit to Canada.
Everyone likes to read about the Queen when she
presents herself to an entire country. They like to be
reminded of human traits, good and bad, that make her
seem almost like an idol and at the same time human.
That idea also ended up in the wastebasket since I
haven't had the time to follow her activities in Ottawa.
Well, so much for this week's column. Next week I
promise. to have a controversial, witty, thought-
provoking, intelligent and interesting piece of writing for
you that you'll never forget.
In the meantime, it's now 11:04 and Editor Jim is
getting more than a little anxious , in fact pushy, for me
to produce something on his desk.
Oh, Bill Smiley where are you? I need help. -
Bluewater Blind club,

Toronto.
His background is mainly
academic, but he served for
nine years in the, parish
ministry and worked closely
in training of the priests at
Huron College as Dean of
Theology since 1964. The St.
James congregation was
delighted that he was able to
be here on Sunday evening for
the dedication service.
We were very pleased to
see such ,a nice turnout from
the Trinity Church in
Bayfield. It was also an honor
to have Mrs. Parke -Taylor
and Margaret Paull of
Toronto.
Everyone enjoyed a social
time after the service in the
church basement and enjoyed
visiting with the Bishop and
his wife. A lunch was served
by the ACW of the church.

scripture and Mrs. Miller
read the meditation. She also
gave a welcome to. Mrs.
Lynda Steenstra as a new
member of the ACW.
Mrs. Shirley Storey gave
the secretary's report and
Mrs.. Miller read the
correspondence. Mrs. Storey
read a thank -you from Mrs.
Connie Taylor for her
farewell gift. A letter from
the foster child was read and
a picture of the group's foster
child was enjoyed by all, just
to see how much she has
'grown.
Mrs. Miller thanked Mrs.
Wise for opening her home for
the meeting and Mrs. Bennett
spoke on her very interesting
day at the deanery meeting.
Rev. Wm. Bennett closed
the meeting in prayer and all
members repeated the grace.
The ladies of the church' are
asked to save their Zehrs'
tapes and count them and
then turn them into Estelle
Wise.
Mrs. Blanche Deeves gave
a talk on her trip to western
Canada, ,and Mrs. Fred

ofthanks to Mrs. Deeves for

church.
A tour was given of the
Signal -Star, which was in-
teresting and at the com-
pletion of the tour, coffee and
cookies were available in the
tea room.
TROJAN
HYBRID CORN SEED
Not always better,
but baiter overall.
This Fall, more Canadian farmers will
seethe figures that show Trojan does
a better job for them. With corn that
yields, stands, dries down -is in some
way -better.
Trojan won't come out on top every
time, of course. But Trojan will win
overall. Simply because Trojan' has a
better chance of developing the best
hybrids.
One reason: all those Pfizer
research farms. In Ontario. In the US
corn belt. In Florida. Thereven have
some in Hawaii where they get 31/2
generations of corn a year!
Ask us if Trojan has a hybrid that
will do better on your farm. We'll tell
you if we don't. We're that kind of
company.
CHRIS COOKS & SON
R
....�.��c tri
spoke briefly and told a few of
his parlour jokes.
The Club was pleased to
have a representative of the
CNIB board members
present.
The guest speaker for the

Like most people, I buy all
the lottery tickets when they
come out, but many times I
never get the chance to see the
'winning numbers. Sometimes
I'm able to get them from the
TV or radio but ° now the
Wintario has a hundred
"special winners" and theif
are not announced.
Any chance of publishing
the winning numbers in IM-
PACT?
I'm sure this would be 'tea
good service to many people
like myself.
We'll try anything once, (or
almost anything!) and see
what reaction we get from our
regular readers. You un-
derstand of course, that all the
Wintario draws are made on a
Thursday, so IMPACT would
be publishing them a week
late.
- However that appears to be
your main point, a service for
readers who missed the
numbers originally.
