Lampoonery
by Bud Sturgeon
I can see by the little old lampoon calendar on the
'wall that today is the first of May. Those April showers
this week did coax out a few flowers around the
Hollow. Even the magnolia has been persuaded to
bloom in season, contrary to last year's fall effort
But all is not well. Canadiens' supporters are still rn
shock as they watched the Habs being eliminated
earlier this week. It's tough to decide which was
worse. Listening to Dave Hodge's insipid whining
about the Leafs in between periods, Gary,D0-ernh5ffer
choking on one syllable words or seeing netminder
Herron trying to shoot the puck in his own net last
Sunday.
On the bright side, we're now back to Daylight
Saving Time. -The things- you can get accomplished
after supper now are just mind-boggling.
You can sit on the pier and fish for perch or trip out
to the -local streams and diddle for trout. And May
means the return of baseball up at the diamond.
Everybody starts to think warm. How about that
first swim of the year. Many years ago, the local group
used to make the first swim on the 24th weekend at the
hogsback. For some, it was a skinny dip after dark,
then pop into the pea field for a snack (a little later in
the season). Now one year, the boys had been eating
peas at night for a week. A few days later they
chanced upon the swimming hole in the afternoon then
over to the pea field. I've been told that there are -a
couple of gents that don't care too much for peas now
(or since) because everyone .they opened in the light
was wormy.
Pioneer Park will soon be oppn and the sun will be
obliging onlookers withthe second most beautiful
sunsets in the world.
Strolling through the Hereford Heads bush last
Sunday we noted the!, Bloodroots, Dog .Tooth Violets
and Jack in the Pulpits were well underway.
The fungus connoisseurs will soon be able to procure
a few "morsels" from their favorite spot.
Highschoolers will soon be finishing another grind at
the books. -Finals are coming up so this is probably
your last chance to play hookey until next September.
It's garden planting time, gotta put the beer in a
cooler now and the picnickers return to the park.
The frogs are singing in the swamp and the
Moleman had his "first year at the Mile High" tea
party already.
Next week, I think a few jokes, maybe, as vye plant
the Vegetable garden again, but for now have to get
back to attending the resident "Labeotropheus" at the
Hollow.
Dance raises money
for ball diamonds
Several hundred
dollars were raised last
Saturday night as an
exuberant crowd turned
out for the Spring
Training Dance. The
proceeds will be used for
the reconstruction of the
existing ' baseball
diamond in the
agricultural park.
Five records were
given away as "spot"
dance prizes. The win-
ners included Rick and
Lynda Talbot, Ray
Bender, Grace
Stephenson, and, Jack
Bender all , of Bayfield
and Dave Pugh of Clin-
ton.
Two door prizes were
also given away. Barb
(Turner) Beecroft of
Woodstock won the set of
cocktail glasses while
Ron Denys of Kippen won
the set of copper
coasters. Both ,gifts were
donated by the Park and
Tilford Company.
During the dance, the
Bayfield Babes Slo-pitch
team draw was also held.
Jim Taylor of Walton
turned out to be the big
winner as he won the pine
Deacons' Bench (made
by Lloyd Huffman). The
Second prize; a dried
flower arrangement
(donated by Bill Gam -
mage) was won by Frank
Deelstra.
The music, which was
provided by the
",Desjardines" from
Zurich, kept everybody
shuffling and shakin,' to
everything from Glen
IVilller's "In the Mood" to
`rock and roll'.
