Golden Agers recollect
history of Shipka
By MRS. HUGH MORENZ
Shipka’s grand old gen
tleman, Herbert Harlton,
who is 96 years young, born,
raised and lived in this area
all his life recalls going to
Sunday school and church, in
1887, when he was five years
old, and the services held
over the blacksmith shop,
owned by Sam Hawkins.
He remembers when the
church was first built in 1888
and the first minister had a
five circuit charge, helped
by local preachers who in
cluded James Young,
George Sherritt, William
Sherritt and Mr. Poulter.
Another remembrance he
has is running down to
Shipka two times a week for
the mail.
Not everyone had
telephones in their homes in
the late 1800s and early
1900s. There were two
phones in the Shipka store,
one the Bell telephone and
the Crediton rural operated
by Dr. Orm, later bought by
Francis Clark, and still later
bought by Hay township
telephone. By having two
phones it occasionally
eliminated a pay call.
Earl Guenther of Dash
wood recalls the Shipka Post
Office closed on September
30, 1913. This was the
beginning of rural mail
delivery in this area.
The late Art Finkbeiner of
Grand Bend remembered
working in the Shipka flax
mill at the wages of 25c a
day.
A remembrance of the late
Mrs. Herbert Harlton was
that as a school girl there
were 130 on the Shipka school
roll, and often three children
sat in one seat.
Mrs. Art Finkbeiner
recalls a story of the days
when her grandfather, one of
the first settlers, moved into
the district. When the
children were sent for the
cows in the evening their
mother would blow on a loud
horn at regular intervals, to
give them direction in case
they were lost.
Arnold Keller recalls his
father Karl Keller and his
uncle Conrad Keller of this
area working in the Shipka
flax mill.
Personals
Mr. & Mrs. Bill Finkbeiner
and Lori have returned from
a 10 day holiday in the
Orlando area of Florida.
Also travelling with them
were Nancy’s sister Mr. &
Mrs. Edward Glavin and
family and the girl’s grand
mother, Mrs. Bea England of
Crediton.
Jason Finkbeiner stayed

Continued from Page 4,
3,000 ducats from Shylock, I knew that
was no $78,50, and was satisifed.
I know I have no more chance of
reversing the metric thing that I had of
another of my lost causes: that pale
pink maple leaf on a dirty grey
background that is Canada’s national
flag.
But I wish the AMC luck. And I’m go
ing to use my bumper sticker, if only to
annoy my neighbour, a math teacher,
who has been flaunting a “Think
Metric” sticker for several years.
My sticker is bigger, white printing
on red. with a big hammer pounding
down on the slogan, “POUND OUT
METRIC”.
The organization also has a stubborn
little war-cry I rather like. “We won’t
move our feet an inch.”
