He had sometimes fired for him. He emembered Ismael Filliol who was the sawyer at James Thomson's lumber mill, and spoke of John Whiddon's flour • mill and the hill where they went sleigh -riding. When asked about celebrations in Bayficld, he couldn't recall any particular ones but he said that one could always be sure of two fights in the year—on St. Patrick's Day and the Twelfth of July. And there had been an exciting fight between Pi Keegan and Tom Marks in S. J. Marks eStablish- ment the night the planing mill burned. Mr. Adams visited his old chum and former • neighbour, Frank Keegan, and school friends George King and William L. Ferguson. And he called on 1VIrs. W. J. Stinson in time to wish her many happy returns of her 86th birth- day on May 23. His elder sister, Mary, who celebrated the same birthday the day before were school friends. And they talked over old school days when Master Plunkett wielded the two -tongued strap upon the slightest provo- cation, and was hardest on his own daughters, and other in- cidents of their childhood. Many of the old landmarks such as the mills and T. J Mark's store and hall have gone but at his former home he re- cognized a tree which he had helped his father plant. He also visited relatives in Seaforth. Friday morning Mr. Adams left on his return trip to Chicago, happy that he had satisfied the yearning to return to the scenes of his childhood and that there were people here who knew him. When he went to call on Frank Keegan, he said: "Hello, Frank, you don't know me!" After look- ing at his caller for a few minutes, Mr. Keegan asked: "You wouldn't be an Adams, would you?" James Adams is a surprisingly well-preserved man and presets the *appearance of a much young- - nerson. We hnue that he will visit us again some time. canzivez.K WORK REFRESHED WOAA Intermediate • Men's Softball Sk Representatives of the WOAA men's intermediate softball, group three, gathered at Clinton RCAF Station to draw up the' 1950 schedule.
