FRED DUCHARME Corresoagndentl Mr. and Mrs. William Weis- ing, of Sarnia, called at the home of Mrs. Josephine Du- charme on Saturday last on their return from visiting rela- tives in London and Goderieh, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hart- man, of London, called on yours truly and Mrs, Ducharme on Saturday evening last. Mrs. Hartman will stay here for two weeks while Mr. Hartman will be working in London. The Hartmans, recently moved by the Bank of Montreal from To- ronto to London, are awaiting till February to enter their Lon- don home. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ducharme, of the Bluewater H i g h w a y, spent Saturday last visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Leo Ducharme .and family, On Sunday last visitors from London at the home of Isidore and Mrs. Josephine Ducharme •on this highway were Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Masse and family, also Mrs. Napoleon Ducharme. Sister Francis Bourgea, ac- companied by another nun from the St. Joseph Mother House in London, motored in the early afternoon to Goderich with Mrs. Napoleon Ducharme to visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Jeffrey, where Mrs, Jeffrey has been under the doctor's care for the past few weeks. Sister Francis Bourgea is a sister to Mrs. Jef- frey and needless to say, the visit was an enjoyable one to all; the Londoners returned to London in the late afternoon to their place of abode. The month of January en- tered like a lamb for a week or so, but as it advanced there was much change with more snow and blustery weather than was expected. Of course, we could not expect the month to pass on without some disturb- ance such as high winds which in some parts caused much damage, destruction of prop- erty and as well many lives. The month so far has fooled many old-timers in their pre- dictions handed out by their grandparents in the primitive years of this parish. One of their signs of an open winter was fishworms crawling on sur- face soil in late fall and early winter. This past fall, they were busy at their work as they did not need any shelter. When a hard winter is sup- posedly due, these worms did themselves backward with their tails into the ground below the frost line to escape the cold. There they stay until the ground has thawed in the spring. This is one of our forefathers'. fore- cast. True or false—eh? Already the year of 195 has passed on and turning the pages of time what can we find that we have done for ourselves, our neighbors, our community or our country. Did we spend most of that precious time granted to us in trying to ac- cumulate our earthly goods, perhaps in a selfish way, not having regard for anyone else? Did we visit the sick to com- fort them? Did we help in some way to erect necessary institu- tions to help the needy, to give them comfort in their declining years and did we share in some way our surplus to the needy of other lands where almost two- thirds of the people are ill -clad and on the verge of starvation? If not, we have failed to re- spond to our obligations, We, in this land, have been blessed with having all the necessities of life in this flourishing land we inhabit. We can almost say with certainty, in the face of it all, we are not always satisfied. We feel that we are worthy of receiving much more of these worldly goods; by that, we feel we are not getting our fair share. Take a look at your house- hold and surroundings and see what we have stored away to assure us of security for the future. Think of the times we throw away left -over food into the waste can which would feed families that are on the verge of starvation. When having a few leisure moments at our dis- posal, it would be well for us to meditate where everything conies from. This, perhaps, would be a guiding point for us. (Continued from last week) When arriving at their pater- nal homes with their families, welcomes and greetings were passed on with good wishes for a happy New Year. All was in' order, in the little log house, being well heated for comfort and Pop, to each member of the family gave his fatherly blessing. Mom had already set her table, which had been hewn from fairly large trees, to place plenty of home-made food. At that epoch, bread was not made as today. It was made from ground buckwheat and most of the settlers considered them- selves lucky to have this. Mom had prepared the New Year breakfast since early fall. The meat problem was not embar- rassing for there was plenty of wild game in the forest.
