A Challenge to the Mayor
Dear Mr.,n? ayor Jackson,—If Jim
Fair, Bob' Agnew and Pat Spalding
come to Clinton for the Old Home
Week, I' will choose them on my side
and challenge you to pick a .rink and,
play 'a game of bowls jest for .the
sake of old 'acquaintance. 1. am sure
the interest will be great. Time was'
when- some of the ardent members of
Clinton Bowling' Club played the
game 'without.. shoes on their feet or
hat or lair on their heads. I don't•
me -at(' you, Fred, for there are other
members of your club. that evidently,.

' Do you
remember on one 'occ sion four gentle-
men one summer evening were down
on the green and turned the hose on
and scampered about, - playing a
frxenilly game, in their bare feet and
stripped to the pelt, having .a whale
of a time., ' 1t was 'a merry evening'
and.; all enjoyed themselves. But the.
penalty carne next''day, when: one of
the participants had to call in the dot

I' wonder if there are any bats
under the old London• Bridge. They
used to be very plentiful at one time
and many a one we captured.
Perhaps the only "Great Cirrus''
that ever struck town was `,`Fore-
paugh's". 5 still ,recall the antics of
the elephants- 'as they tumb,'1sd and
slid down the bank near, the L ondo5'
Bridge and despoiled themselves in
the river,
However the happy days of child-
hood, are gone, the gang scattered,,
married and passed away.
Among the school teachers of those:
days perhaps the one who endeared
herself most to us was "Peggy
O'Neil." And who will ever forget
"Jumbo Lough"? 'ifie. all ,loved, re=
speoted and feared him. On the
whole, as I look. back, Clinton' seems
to have been very '.Fortunate in its
selection of 'teachers..
There is one event of later life,
which, in looking back to, I can feel
no regret and that is a little pleasure

However, I wish ' to assure Oliver
Johisson, if he sees this letter, that I
am innocent of stealing his can of
honey. The only ei,7lanatien I can
give for its disappearance is that the

The clergyman who stands out as
the mot prominent of • my youth is
Rev. Wm. Craig, later Canon Craig.
Itseems strange that today I
should be living in Craighurst, a 'lit-
tle village named after the Craig fam-
ily where the Canon was born. . He

long drive and chat:with liiin.

See their Points of Historic -
and National Interest
pitals
Know historic Ontario, know its points. of interest,
know the two Capital-cities—Toronto and Ottawa—that
lie within its borders. All through the. Province there's
a wealth of national and historic interest which should
be familiar to every manrwoanari and child.
An intimate knowledge of our seats of Government
will;result in a better appreciation of our country's insti.
tutions. It will make better citizens of the boys and giris.
This summer, get the family in the car and drive either
to Ottawa or Toronto. Both cities are at their best in
summer time. In each you will receive courtesy and at-
tention
t
tention frorri those who are in. a position to give you in-
formation as to what you should see.
Good highways to the Capitals lead from every ditec-
tion. They are in excellent condition, and in every case
will take you through magnificent stretches of farm' and
orchard'lands, or by lakes and rivers and woods.
Take your time and see the country as,yy_ou go. Don't
attempt any speed records. They have all been made.
Fast driving is dangerous; it detracts from the pleasure
of your trip because you--cjiot see the country; it'. de-
• stroys road surfaces and thus it makes your trip more ex-
pensivethan it need be..
For your money is used fig' repair damaged roads in
Ontario. The user must pay. - In your' own interest, you
are requested to • minimize this damage and you can
do so by moderate driving_ Your co=operation is confi-
dently depended -upon.
