A HEART FULL OF MUSIC — Harry Adkins, RR 2, Hensall, is 85.years
old. When he's feeling good, he starts step -dancing. He has been a
winner in area competitions. Staff photo
Henry Adkins has all
step dance ingredients
An ear for music, a feeling for
rhythm and plenty of joie de
vivre, when mixed the right way,
produce a step -dancer.
Eighty -five-y ear -old Harry
(Henry James) Adkins of RR 2,
Hensall, is exactly that kind of
mixture. Though he's never had a
lesson in his life, he can dance
"to any fast tune". Most of his
dancing has been accompanied
by fiddle, often that of Hensall's
Nelson Howe.
Harry Adkins is no run-of-the-
mill step dancer. Two years ago
he came first in the step -dancing
section of the Hensall Fiddlers'
contest. Last year he placed
second in a competition with a
man 40 years younger. This year,
he said, he "had too much on the
go" to try again.
In June, he and his wife, the
former Violet Fuss of the Zurich
area, celebrated their fifty-eighth
wedding anniversary by going off
on a bus -trip for four days to a
New York resort.
They no longer farm the 100
acres a few miles west of
Hensall on which they have
lived for the past 55 years. Soon
they will move into a brand new.
apartment in Zurich.
It won't be easy to leave the
little red farmhouse that brims
with memories. There, they
raised six children - Howard of
RR 1, Zurich; Wilmer of Exeter;
Stuart of Winnipeg; Jacob of
Douglas Point; Donald of Sarnia;
and Shirley (Mrs. Ernie Powell)
of Goderich.. They have 14
grandchildren and one great
grandchild.
The hundred -year old far-
mhouse has never been wired for
hydro. It's lit by propane lan-
terns, and heated by oil. Mrs.
Adkins cooks on a white enamel
wood -stove which looks almost as
good as new. Their television set
is battery-operated.
"Last winter was the worst in
over 50 years", Mr. Adkins said.
They were taken by snowmobile
to Howard's place. It was weeks
before they could return.
When their family was young,
the Adkins used to travel to
Zurich every Sunday to the
Lutheran Church by horse and
cutter, all bundled up in a buffalo
robe. Once he was goinga little
too fast and overturned the
cutter. They straightened it up,
then went on to church.
From horse-drawn vehicles,
Mr. Adkins moved to a Model -T
Ford. He has been driving
automobiles for close to 60 years
and still has a clean record.
He was born in London,
England, and came to Canada at
the age of nine, settling with his
relatives on the Goshen Line,
Violet, whose parents were
German, spoke little English
when he first met her. Both are
now bilingual.
His approach to step -dancing is
straight -forward. He wears no
special costume - just jeans, shirt
and walking shoes. It was
something that came naturally
and was a source of personal
pleasure over the years.
"When I was full of music, I
used to get therhythm;', he said.
"I just got stepping here one
day."
He also plays the harmonica
and accordion.
Step -dancing is not defined in
dictionaries of dance. References -
to it are frequent in books on
Scottish dancing. The traditional
hornpipe has been classified as
an elementary step dance. All the
high stepping dances of Scotland
belong in the same category. One
author suggests that this type of
dance had special value to
Highland warriors because their
lives often depended on strong
legs and swift feet. Movement of
arms and torso is restricted in a
step -dance; while legs and feet,
beating out the rhythm, are very
busy.
Harry Adkins made his first
appearance on a public stage at
the old Casino on Queen ,Street,
Toronto. He was among those
picked from the audience to come
up on stage. The management
found, to their surprise, that
they had picked a real performer.
He likes to recall the time he
sang with the Kitchener polka
band of Walter Ostanek during
one of their "Night Out" shows.
This spring he was a guest on the
"Morning Break" show of
London's CFPL television.
Life wouldn't be nearly as
much fun for Harry without his
music and dancing.

Attempt to remove books
from school system fails
The Huron County Board of
Education defeated a motion
Monday calling for the removal
of two English texts from the
county secondary school system.
Trustee John Henderson put
forward the motion when a list of
13 English literature texts came
before the Board for approval. He
said the books "A Taste of
Honey", which was on the list,
and "The Diviners" which was
not, should not be approved.
"These are books that
shouldn't be allowed in the
schools," he said. He did not
elaborate.
Many visitors
at Koehler's
Mr. & Mrs. Harold Koehler and
her
n
Keith; Mrs. Notley, and
Y
daughter, Isabel, of Toronto,
visited with Mrs. Nancy Koehler
and Mr. & Mrs. Norman Koehler
in Zurich. Also visiting Mrs.
Koehler recently were Mrs.
Shirley Craig of Toronto and Mr.
& Mrs. Kenneth Koehler of
Huntsville.
Superintendent of Education,
James Coulter told the Board
that the list of Grade 13 literature
books had already been in use in
the school system for a long
period. He said their use had not
been approved by the Huron
Board of Education because they
were already in use before the
County system was set up•
"I don't think we should be
taking books out that are already
in use," Trustee Alex Corrigan
said.
After the defeat of Mr. Hen-
derson's motion for removal of
the books, Trustee Dorothy
Wallace introduced a motion
calling for the text list to be
approved. The motion was
carried.
Later in the meeting, Trustee
Eugene Frayne asked Mr.
Coulter if the teachers were
abiding by the rules set down by
the Board which stipulate books
with "questionable language"
should not be introduced into the
school system.
Mr. Coulter said the teachers
were following the guidelines.
"The books on the list are not new
books in the system," he said.
