Last Thursday's
"Paper Bag Lunch" at
Polley's Livery Stable
was indeed quite a suc-
gess. Our good friends
who came to lunch were
quite surprised and
pleased as the at-
mosphere and attitudes
were quite colorful and
friendly.
The old Polley's Livery
Stable is stripped to its
ribs and the stark
nakedness of the place
was not ugly, somehow,
but pleasant.
The diners enjoyed a
wholesome lunch and all
the quiet time they had to
chat with their friends.
Everyone agreed it was
a nice idea and so THIS
Thursday, October 4 from
11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
another paper bag lunch
will be held at the Livery
Stable. Do come. The
small donations are going
to' help a great deal in
getting the renovations
underway. YOU can
help!
Last week we received
a message we have
dreaded for over a
month. Our sister-in-law
had succumbed to that
dreaded disease - but I
shouldn't say we dreaded
to hear about it since it
ended her suffering.
However, the family
were the ones who also
suffered.
This was another sad
story where there were so
many plans for when_
retirement came.
For goodness sakes,
enjoy each day, GO on
your trips, DO the things
NOW instead of
tomorrow - tomorrow
may not come.
It's funny the way so
many times your sorrow
is broken right away by a
happy event. I had not
remembered (darn me!)
but my youngest great-
grandchild was to have
his first birthday on the
Sunday.
What a pleasant
surprise - but I'm still not
believing it was only a
first birthday. That
youngster took his first
steps - five or six of them,
you could almost un-
derstand his baby talk
and he opened his own
presents as soon as he
saw how it was done.`
• Of course I could go on
and on but I wouldn't
DARE! But you can see
that we had a very sad
and a very happy time -
all in three days - so what
more could you ask.
Corning back home- we
left about 8:30 a.m. - it
was foggy but we could
see about half a mile up
the road. As we neared
- Tilbury, the fug had
really dropped down and
you could barely see the
car ahead and 1 tried to
keep just behind
someone. The fog didn't
change' until we were at
Thamesville - from there
on it grew lighter,
disappearing at Grand
Bend - for which I was
thankful. .
Last fall we drove in
pea -soup fog- for about
three hours in the Ken-
tucky hills - you usually
have fog there. This
morning was nearly as
dense.
I have a booklet on tree
ruses. These are usually
so very beautiful but
require a lot of work and.
attention. In the warmer
climes where there's no
worry of frost, the rose or
geranium trees are just
fascinating.
For the winter, the tree
roses have to have their
tops down on the ground
and -covered well against
the cold. This usually
means digging up the root
hall and moving it so you
can lower the top without
breaking it.
In the spring, after
frost danger, you stand
them up again and enjoy
them.
Lochalsh
Perhaps you'd like to
try the little geranium
trees - you'll love them •
and you just dig and take
them in for the winter. Of
course you must feed and
water then, keep the
''succers'' off the
"trunks'' and things like
that - but I had a tree
Martha Rathbu`rn
geranium for about a
year or two until I left it
out too long in the fall!
On so many of your
geraniums you will have
a nice straight stem - for
awhile. You have to tie it
to a stake early so that it
doesn't fall and have all
those lovely little sprouts
that give you all -those
beautiful flowers. Use
material for your ties -
something that gives a
little - it makes it easier
to gradually tie it closer
and closer to the straight
stick.
Then, you must keep off
all the buds on the stalk -
this encobrages the buds
to come out on top and so
in two or three years you
will see a wee tree
starting to grow.
Perhaps you have seen
the geranium trees in
Stratford at the big
theatre. Perhaps some of
you have already started
them right here in town. 1
know our gardener, Edith
Argyle (will you ever
forget her beautiful
iris? ), had a dandy tree
well on - its way this
summer. Hope she can
-find a place for it over the
winter!
Well, I don't know why
these trees were on my
mind. Perhaps it is
because of the beautiful
fall display of color we
have around here. We
don't need to go north to
see autumn's glory.
Now we are talking
Christmas fairs and such.
October 17 and 20 is
Colborne Township's
fourteenth annual
country fair of won-
derfully crafted items by
mtfny talented people for
the Christmas season. It
is held again in Saltfor•d
Valley Hall. The doors
open at 10 a.m. and I
know there will be a line -
