The lady with whom he board- ed, then 42, is now 81, but recog- nized him, and many of his old pupils now adults remembered him. It is interesting to know that two of his pupils have each sent him a Christmas card for the 39 years, which shows the high esteem felt for Mr. Abbott in that Parry Sound district.

I grew up in a small town that was just beginning to find its potential as a tourist town. Quite a few cars in town were evident in July and August. Everybody thought the tourist business was a good thing and something should be done about it. A few people with large houses and small in- comes, including my mother, put up "Tourist Accommodation" signs and were not only flabber- gasted but delighted to rent huge immaculate bedrooms for as much as $2 a night. But on the whole, the tourist business was just a little extra gravy, and the town drowsed through the summer, the mer- chants leaning in their cool door- ways, waiting for 6 o'clock to come, so they could close up and hustle off to the ball park after gulping their supper. What a difference from the slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am at- mosphere of the modern tourist town! Today the tourist business is not only a little extra gravy, it is the cream in the coffee, the icing on the cake, the cheese with the apple pie and any other garnishing you care to nauseate yourself by imagining. It is the difference between survival of the fittest and getting along nicely, thank you, in the business world. For the grocers, the hard- wares, the drug stores, the tour- ist season is a mixture of exhi- laration and exhaustion. The har- monious tune of the cash register is offset by the discordant scream of aching feet. Aside from its economic injec- tion, the tourist business has a very strong impact on the life of a small town. When the first visitors begin to arrive, in May WINS HAIR SET Mrs. Don Ankers last week won a Career Girl hair set on the CKSL Coffee Club program.

RIDERS ENJOY RIDE Saturday night 25 members of the Midnight Trail Riders met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hardy of RR 1 Clande- boye for a three hour cross-coun- try ride. The party left about '7 pm and returned at 10 pm when all were ready to enjoy a wiener roast. Mr. Hardy and his two daugh- terS still ride and belong to the club. During the past year the girls have continued to win prizes. Anglican Flowers in the church were in Memory of Mr. Richard Hodgins and were placed there by his two sisters, Mrs. Phyllis Mc- Connell and Miss Edith Hodgins of Toronto. The guest speaker was Mr. Robert Boaz of Huron College. United The guest speaker at the 11o,- clock service was Mr. Edward Phelps, a lay-reader from Lon- don. and June, they are as welcome as the first flowers. They add color, excitement, a touch of the outside world, with their differ- ent accents and different clothes. They are warmly welcomed, and not just for their financial contribution. Most of them are very nice, friendly people, and it's a pleasure to greet the re- peaters each year, on their first trip to the cottage. We have a little yarn about the winter we've spent, and like as not, they'll urge: Now you be sure and come up to the cottage and see us this summer. We'll have a cold one together." They start to come in a trick- le that quickly becomes a stream, then an avalanche. The pace quickens in the small town as everyone turns to in an effort to cope with them. By mid-July, the whole town is throbbing with this heady addition to its life- stream. You can't find a place to park, shopping takes three times as long, and you can scar- cely cross the street because of the constant stream of cars craw- ling through. About this time, the tourist town has almost lost its identity and individuality. Merchants and resort operators are like fisher- men who find themselves in the middle of a vast school of fish, like farmers, intent on reaping the harvest before the first touch of frost kills it. As August nears its end, and the golden days fall rapidly away, there is a little sadness in the air, as the tourist season nears its end, and the new and old friends among the campers are seen heading out of town with their sunblackened children and their piled high cars. But when Labor Day arrives, and the avalanche slows to a trickle, the town becomes a town again, not just a shopping centre. The citizens slow down, stretch their backs, and look around at each other. Within a week, they have forgotten the scramble and the rush and the foolish business of making money, and, full of renewed interest in their town and themselves, get down to something serious, like planning a hunting trip, or having a party. 21 YRS OLD?
