A group of Michigan antique car buffs from Michigan, known as "Brass and Gas," brought a touch of nostalgia to this area as they passed through Friday, while on a weekend tour of Ontario. In all, vintage cars were parked outside the Benmiller in, while the owners stopped for lunch there. Later, the group toured through Goderich. (photos by Patrick Raftis Good weather can mean North Pole has tilted The flowers all over town are still beautiful and most of them are hardy enough to last through, the first snow. I used to feel so proud them standing there with heads above t at first snow which was around the first of September. That was a few years ago and now with the first of Oc- tober on our door step is makes one zit up and notice. Milder winters, longer fall, hot summer, long spring ... what has happened? Are we convinced it, is 'freaky. or are we afraid droit the weather patterns are changing . Let's not think about it now, we need many more "nice" winters before we admit the North Pole has tilted or it is off it's moorings. • • I was talking to a very nice old gentleman not long ago. We agreed that most of the flowers would last many more weeks if un- disturbed. He patted the cement seat which is usually occupied (we were at the Woolworth's corner) and said, "Yes, and they take these away to soon, too." He was right, there are lots of sunny days to come. But.once the bad days startit is pretty rough slugging for the town boys, so we must just hope they too are watching the weather and , not the date. .. Since I mentioned glass recycling last week, I find many people are interested and wondering how it can. be handled. It seems to me the handling must start at home. Soft A ROUND 'N ABOUT With Martha Rathburn garbage is one container, cans in another, glass separated also. You can think of more and bitter ways to do this I'll bet. I can't recall hearing and I know I didn't read that our new dollar coin is made up of many things. How's that for a reason to recycle? Our first money from recycling. But it all boils fown to people doing the sorting. One A&P plastic bag for soft garbage, Zehrs plastic bag for cans. Can't you see them all lined up in the kitchen? And there are lots of plastic bags. We 'will have to have a plastic bag for plastic too. Rey, this can get com- plicated. But it can be done and the sooner the better. ' Just think of people - or whatever they are - hundreds of years from now, ' digging ,down into what we call "Earth"- and coming upon a thick layer of plastic and glass. Plastic doesn't dissolve or disintegrate and glass -well it will flow if it gets hot enough. I'd hate to be able hear what they would say about us. Last' weekend my grandaughter and two Middegaal girl friends camped at Benmiller Camp Grounds and loved it. Her friends wanted to hike, - even brought the right kinds shoes - so, Sharon and I went,."wandering." First I had to show her our great row of beaches. She was pleasantly surprised - no need now to go further north from now on. The St. 'Christopher Cove was just right for youngsters and she has two nice ones. Later she took her friends down there and they thought Goderich was great. They noticed the great wall as they called it - hugging and protecting the beaches. I too felt this "arm" around the last beach and thank -our council - or whoever - for getting the right people to do a difficult job, right. Another thing I'm sure you feel it too - the people of Bayfield were right in not allowing the takeover of the other side of the bridge along their river. I'm glad we have good neighbours who know what could happen to their nice village. Oops, Walt is getting up so no more time for writing. He depends on me for almost everything, especially when I tell him I see and ,talk to old friends and young friends who are now so doggone big and hiding behind beards. I can't tell who they are anymore. We loved them when they were little and skating so hard to please everyone. They were great and are now helping others and this too is wonderful. Have a good week.
