Goderich Township News Pipe -Major Miller top judge `t,'ipe Major W. Millar, who has contributed- so much of his time and talent to the youth of this area in the past to promote piping in Canada, was top judge at the Indoor Piping Competitions and Games held at Hamilton last weekend. He and his wife, Edith, travelled to Guelph where they spent Friday night at the home of their son,- .lames 'and his wife, Robbie. James. also a very talented, and accomplished piper, and his wife accompanied his parents to Hamilton for the games on Saturday.. [ would like to pay tribute to Pipe Major ,Millar in a very special, personal way as it was the "skirl of the pipes" that' brought us Co .Black's Point. Pipe Major Millar generously and freely taught many young people this ancient and exciting art and his band was the pride and joy of Black's Point. and provided us with many a lively .houras his bandsmen marched up and down his spacious lawn, with the lilting Scottish tunes filtering through the cedars. When the Goderich Pipe Band under Pipe Major Millar was discontinued a gaiety left our sideroad that is truly missed and I find myself still listening for highland music on a balmy Sunday afternoon during the summer months. Although his .pipes are silent now, we are proud that this ex- cellent piper is still a piper at heart and congratulate him on being selected top judge at the games. You are still TOP piper with us!! (sure would like to hear them again!!!) x * 'April showers are not always rain (or snow -).-Pt linen shower' was held in horxunr of Miss, •Janet William-. last Friday evening in the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.
