It's a hard, fast and
frustrating world Martha
Dear friends:
This will probably shock you, but you
don't have to worry any more about me be-
ing lonely, for I now have four new men in
my life. Please read on.
You are possibly acquainted with some of
them:
I get up in the morning with Charlie Horse, I
spend all day with Arthur Itis and I go to bed
with Ben Gay. The fourth is a bit of a pro-
blem. His name is Will Power.
Have you noticed the papers are using
very fine print or type, lately? One can
scarcely read it, it is'so small. And there is
no sense asking anyone to read it for you as
they all speak so low I can barely hear them.
Also it seems everything is farther away
than it used to be. I've given up running for
the bus - it is so much faster than it used to
be. I swear!
And now, I find it is almost impossible for
me to reach my shoe laces. How
frustrating!!
People are changing too! They are much
younger than they used to be. On the other
hand people my age are much older than I
am.
Why just last week I ran into an old
classmate - she had changed so much I
hardly knew her. I got to thinking about her,
the poor thing, while looking in the mirror,
and do you know they don't even make mir-
rors like they used to! It's a hard world!
It is also a fast world. Things are advanc-
ing so rapidly that the little tots know more
about the changes than us grownups do.
Watching Michael Knight with Kitt and
the magic things they can do to keep in
touch, nearly scares me to pieces. Is there
no privacy any more?
How can they use those computers and
other great electronics to talk to each other
or get information on people, in no time at
all, when it used to take days, then hours, to
do it?
Right after all this fantastic stuff with
Kitt, who comes along on T.V. but those two
angels with more magic to set things right.
And it all happens without gun play.
(I've watched all the guns they are toting
around - they even make me wonder if we
should start wearing a holster, too? )
I can only hope that before the season is
over, we will have learned some of the
magic to right the wrongs, stop the squabbl-
ing and bring people back to their senses.
That computer is a great and magical in-
strument providing you have someone
brainy enough to tell it all it will need to
know. I can only hope too, they find a way -
soon - to keep thieves from stealing impor-
tant info' from these machines.
When this is settled we can feel much
safer in our homes - even in our country!
That's when I will know we can reach
another rung on that ladder.
Everyone has their own ladder to climb.
Some make it to the top quite easily - the
rest of us have to work harder - and hope!
My great-grandchildren - and yours - are
growing into a wonderful new world. I think
it is up to us to clean up our mess and give
them a hand up. We have come a long way
since the radio was the "cats' whiskers" -
actually - since that is what they called that
little bit of wire that searched out voices for
us — the cats' whiskers!
That was indeed a magic box when I was
"just a kid" but the "kids" are becoming
pretty nonchalant about all these magical
things - they don't even appear to be in-
terested in knowing where, when, what or
why - or how they even came to be in our
world and theirs.
Someone, dad, should start teaching or ex-
plaining a few facts so that when they reach
Grade i they will not be surprised to know
that we haven't always had these boxes! It
is your child - tell him!
Do take care of yourselves now that
winter has really arrived with a howl. Call
each other often. Then call another if you
need help - the town hall, police, neighbour,
anyone! Even Me!
Love, Martha.
Huron Historic Atlas
gales exceed 2,300 copies
It is just a little more than a month since
the Huron County Historical Atlas was
released and already more than 2,300 of the
350 page books have been delivered to pur-
chasers in Huron and across Canada. In ad-
dition another 200 copies of the atlas have
been purchased and are awaiting delivery
instructions. according to Goderich
Township Reeve Grant Stirling who headed
the county council committee responsible
for the production of the atlas.
While in the days following the initial
release there were some production delays
which resulted in disappointment for a
number of atlas purchasers, this now has
been resolved and the stock on hand is suffi-
cient to meet day to day requirements. Of-
ficials at the Court House in Goderich said
the demand for the atlas was teady. They
said in many cases the atlas weing pur-
chased as a Christmas gift ((((((

�Cooke,,representing Minister of Tourism
atutf ecreation John Eakins, will present a
cheque for $50,000 to. Kitchener Mayor
Dominic Cardillo. The second $50,000 will be
issued on April 1, 1986.
"We fully support Actifest '86 and I com-
mend the Older Adult Centers Association of
Ontario for their involvement in initiating
the Games," Eakins said. He also com-
mended the, City of Kitchener foragreeing
to hast the event.
"There is no question that the involve-
ment in the Seniors Games will reap
benefits both to the individuals who par-
ticipate and to the province. In supporting
these Games my ministry hopes to increase
the participation of our older adult popula-
tion in physical recreation programs
because of the positive effect this participa-
tion has on improving the lifestyle of our
citizens," Eakins said.
The Games were initiated by the Older
Adult Centres Association of Ontario in 1984
with the assistance of the Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation. Until now they
have been promoted primarily at the com-
munity and district level.
They were such a success that participa-
tion doubled from one year to the next, 5,000
in 1984 to 10,000 in 1985. It is expected that in
1986 this number will double again with
20,000 seniors participating in the program.
Participants will qualify through the stag-
ing of approximately 30 district games dur-
ing the spring and early summer of this
coming year.
The events will include: carpet bowling,
darts, 5 -pin bowling, golf, shuffleboard,
snooker, cribbage, euchre.
