Fishing was slow, but again those ardent fishermen never give up. ' Friday in interviewing Jason Chambers, age 11, from Stratford, he had been fishing since 7 a.m. and at 11 a.m. hadn't caught anything. While this writer was spealt ing to Jason, the local black retriever decided to cool .off where he was fishing and this no doubt didn't improve the fishing in that area!

Camp News Camp •Glenhuron, located south. of Goderich, formerly owned by • the 'YMCA, has • Travellers cautioned about dangers of long trips.. One of my first outings has been to Blyth Theatre courtesy of our "Ruthie" who wasfighting a sore throat. A terrific down holne show "Down North" was filled with love and humor, which at times rocked the rafters. We were quite close to the rafters and had an excellent view. The set was terrific and I loved "Granny". We all came away with a warm feeling, wanting to discuss the show with whoever was nearby. To add to the pleasure I met an old friend, Romona (Jenkins) Jamieson whom I hadn't seen in about twenty ,years, so it seems! She looked wonderful and the same old friendly -smile made me feel good. Later we found people were enjoying excellent home cooked dinners right in the Theatre Hall run by a smiling hostess, cook and,„etc., Bonnie Ray (or Rae). I was really impressed - not only with the food and the per- formance, but also with the improvements made to the building and with air con- ditioning too! There is something I want to bring to the attention of, anyone driving through Tennessee and Georgia. An .I-75._ .T1 AVELLFRS BEWARE should be old '$ei®ei "wtleil stooip1ng at their service stations The AAA has received many complaints of travellers being bilked - through malicious damage to the vehicle, fraud or in- timidation. , The .motorist is told that tires, shocks, batteries, or whatever, are defective and must be '" replaced im- mediately. They are very convincing and you are charged a stiff price for the not -needed equipment. I have to confess we were caught again this year. The Round About My son was very angry when I told him about the nevents probably happening to older people or persons With should alone, but he said I should have just phoned the State Troopers and stayed Martha Rathburn nght thy Believe me another time I'll be real AAA suggest you get out of the car quickly if you rind an attendant checking your tires before you ask him About four or five years ago we were ripped off this way. The attendant made a big fuss about the "cracks" in the tires. I think we replaced two tires and used the spare on the third. This year, as soon as we stopped he was quick to tell us the left front tire was going down and "sure enough there are • cracks in•thistire, too." Most of the stations are honest and you needn't worry, but since I have to do the gassing job I'm usually out quickly. They use a very sharp in- strument,' not seen, to slit the tire and cut some of them right through. Once the slits (or breaks as they call them) are in the tire, you have to replace them. He didn't get a chance to "inspect" more than the two this year but you won't believe the price ' of tires, rvell over sino each. I ob- jecttd,, blit `tfie unit price :-was $91 and'it was a mud and snow tire. So I had to buy snows and have the two put on the rear. Altogether my, bill was $186. We were really burned up. That was on the trip down and it had been 'going so well. On the way back we had the motor blow up and that- just hatjust convinced us that We had better fly! Actually, this was our first "bad" trip in 12 years so. that wasn't too bad, but cost -wise it nearly made up for that many years! Perhaps we were lucky but when a man hurries around your car, look out! • brave! I suppose it could `also happen in Canada but I just haven't heard of it. I haven't had a chance to get around to see places and people in town, nor have I been lost out in the country yet. But 1 hope to do a lot of Hello-ing soon. We have seen a lot of nice country, but somehow there is a different feeling about your own stomping grounds. It is good to wander but it is great to be home. Don't miss the "goings- on" down at The Square. The best Arts and Crafts Show in the Park includes a flower show, music, bingo and lots of things. You are never too old to enjoy this great show. If you tire easily you can rent or borrow a wheelchair for a few hours. There is always someone happy to see you enjoy the show.
