Eulogy
"Ode t�o Elvis Presley"
He was everything we could
ever want and more.
Like a lighted bomb,
He was thrust into our lives,
And we didn't quite know
what to do with him.
But this feeling didn't last for
long;
Because he was something
new and exciting,
His great talent and charm
won over all our hearts,
He was really just a country
boy,
Who hated to leave his
cowboy hat and spurs,
And he never really did.
Even though he became the
King of Rock 'N Roll,
He could still sing country
songs,
Straight from the heart.
Although many stars came
and went,
He never lost his popularity.
He made millions and billions
of people happy.
And •now'' -we sorrow because
he is gone.
But he isn't really gone,
And never will be.
The memories of him will‘be
passed on to our children,
And then to their chifdren.
Elvis was truly a great man,
A talented man,
A warm hearted man,
A strong man, --
A loved man.
Yes, he was loved by us all,
And we'll miss him so.

Editor's Note: This
newspaper has made an
exception this time, in ac-
cepting for publication the
preceding "Ode to • Elvis
Presley" sent by an
anonymous 13 -year-old girl,
"outside of Goderich". The
topic is so timely, and treated
so unoffensively, the rule that,
only signed letters will be
printed, was waived. —SJK

for retirees
A New Horizons grant of
$7200 may enable a group of
area retirees to set up a
communications network
allowing them to contact
relatives or friends at a
distance free of charge via a
telephone line -radio-
telephone hook up. The
project is called Silver
Threads Communications.
The grant, which falls
under the Federal Govern-
ment's Health and Welfare
program, was approved in
June. A group of twelve in-
terested people had e been
gathered together in the
Goderich and Clinton area to
test acceptance of the
scheme, however, there had
been no formal meetings. The
only contact had been by
telephone and personal
visitations of Art Henwood,
secretary of the Bluewater
Amateur Radio Club
Incorporated. As many
agencies and groups as
possible dealing with
retirees, pensioners and those
people no longer in the work
force had been .contacted
about the project.
The project sponsor is to be
the Bluewater Amateur
Radio Club whose address is
a post office box number in
Goderich. The project
proposal is to set up a radio
and communications station
in the basement of McKay
Hall on North Street in
Goderich. A special call sign
for the station has• been ob-
