We are getting lots of warnings of bad days to come with flurries of hard snow and the sky all shades of Paynes Gray! But the sun keeps breaking through and I still might find my boots! I hope! I watched that beautiful tree at Elgin and South Street go through its copper stage. I intended to tell you to be sure to look at it, but yesterday the leaves had blown away. Aa -11 gone. I just can't help smiling when I. see or think of that tree, now, since Mr. Stewart's son, at year 99 was thoughtful enough to tell us about their cow when on her way home from the pasture in Maitland Valley, would take a short cut around The Square and down South Street in her hurry to reach her barn behind the house behind that big tree I wonder if she was smart enough to walk WITH the traffic - buggies and wagons - or -did she just walk non- chalantly by them all - on the wrong side! Can't you just picture this happening? I ap- preciate Rev. Stewart's wonderful sense of humor in passing this memory on to us. Thank you sir! You have made my day. This morning I had a sur- prise at the hospital. I had therapy on my very sore shoulder - then stopped is to see Bill Stewart - Kathy Allin's dad, recently from Kincardine. Bill and Haidee are now living in Goderich. for every Santa something imaginative, something unique, something extraordinaryl • 34 North St. (Nest door to thi Clothes ChM) Shoppers'Squere, Wed& 524-1572 VISA ertsliAr (..hAfqn —1141111011111 ill / PliiitgAS`i.1G7 WiPrfi Thi 0111Itint.AMAVAILASU- Martha Rathburn He has had problems lately so the hospital is the best •place to be. When leaving, I noticed another familiar face - one I haven't seen for some time. Mamie Sutcliffe had a warm greeting for me. She is always so active3 was sorry to see her with a broken arm. She looks wonderful but you can't fly with one wing. I recalled how she had step danced in England when our return flight had been delayed six hours or more. I think there were over 200 people grounded and although the accommoda- tions were goods - time hung heavily on all of us. Suddenly Mamie had found someone with a mouthorgan who could play a jig and she danced - and I mean DANC- ED - she was great and just pepped everyone up for the rest of the wait. People love these little spontaneous hap- penings and they surely lov- ed Mamie! I hope some of you can bring her some cheer once in a while. Pass it around. Well - the "corny play" is over. The set was beautiful as were the costumes - everything was just GREAT - but the play was KORNY! Because of this people tell me they laughed until,hey cried and really booed the villain - one lady even threw something at him - but it didn't bother him one bit. It is well known that hisses and cheers and laughter get the kinks out of your nervous system and it is good for you - once in a while. You wouldn't want to see this type of play too often but once in 40 years is OK— eh? November 28 is the Santa Claus Parade - how a ut that FLOAT. You s uld have lots of ideas snce Eatons' and the one in Hamilton have been shown on T.V. Every business • should put in a float and ing busY isn't much of an - cuse.
