Look for natives
Dear Editor:
We need your help. We
are trying tolocate
former reside4ts of
Hanover, Ontario. Some
of them may be living in
your community. We
want to contact them as
soon as possible, and
decided that the best way
to do so would be to write
you.
Our reason?
We are planning a huge
Memory Lane
Homecoming Weekend
for Canada Day, July 1st
to 5th, 1981. We want
former Hanover
residents to contact us,
and with your help, we
can accomplish our goal.
Publication of this
letter should do the trick.
We know your paper is
widely read, and we know
too that your readers like
to read - especially -
letters to the editor on
your excellent editorial
page.
Hanover folks who
want to contact us for
information about the
homecoming should write
to Memory Lane
Homecoming, Box 308,
Hanover, Ontario N4N
3H6.
We thank you in ad-
vance for your generous
considerations.
Yours fraternally,
John Kirkvaag
Publicity Chairman
Older than that
Dear Editor:
On your farm page of
April 2 is shown a picture
of the officers of the
Junior - Farmers
Association. It gives its
age as being 35 -years -old.
For your information,
such an organization was
established in
Newmarket in 1914 under
the direction of J. C.
Steckley, B. A;,
agricultural represen-
tative of York County.
The following year, a
local was formed at.
Woodbridge and a
provincial organization
was set up in 1916 at the
Toronto Exhibition.
The president of the
Woodbridge association
was Joe Farr, who is still
alive, owns a farm and
until recently, had a herd
of Guernsey cattle. The
writer was the secretary -
treasurer and older folks

business places and in
between.
If victims rightly sued
for damages and distress
the town soon would be
bankrupt.
Everywhere, and at
least around the Square
plus three or four blocks
outside its cir-
cumference, 'where
walking traffic is
heaviest, should have
extra special protection.
There's plenty of time,
now, to plan great im-
provements for the
coming winter.
Hope°ully yours,
An Accident Checker
aroundGoderich will
remember I had a dairy
business on Hamilton
Street for many years.
There were 32 in that
group and I have here a
record of a banquet held
in Woodbridge on
February 15, 1915.
Times were different
then. There was no
electricity. The first
tractors showed up in
1916. We sold milk to the
city of Toronto at $2 for
an eight -gallon can. A few
cars were seen on the dirt
roads — Tin Lizzies cost
$550 new with a brass
band on front to let you
know they were coming.
However, most of us
depended on the horse
and buggy if we wanted to
go out at night. That
served the purpose well.
There was no steering
wheel to distract one's
attention.
That was in January
1915 and before long,
many of our boys joined
the armed forces. The
future was more likely to
be in Khaki Nion in
overalls. '
Many hamlets had a
football team or softball
team but the big gaine
was lacrosse. You could
not cut corn or thresh on
Saturday afternoon;
everybody went to the
lacrosse game.
Here is a
congratulation to the
Junior Farmers of today.
Success to you in these
trying times and may you
never have any war
clouds hanging over you
as we had in 1915.
Sincerely
Joe Snider
