8—THE BRUSSELS POST, SEPTEMBER 28, 1977
Belgrave WI ,hear of OPA
Clarence Hanna as alternates.
Correspondent Mrs. Storehouse
Mrs. Carol Armstrong,
Wingham, aroused a good deal of
interest in the 1978 International
Ploughing Match and Farm
Machinery Show when she spoke
to the Belgrave Women's
Institute on Tuesday, September
20
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Cook were
on a conducted bus tour to
Pennsylvania and on returning
home he composed the following
poem.
The Dutch Treat Tour
Now that we have all got home,
I thought I would write a little
poem,
Telling a little about our tour
That we all enjoyed, I am sure.
I will tell you that the first day,
We ended up at Breezewood P.A.
Long before it was morn,
We all heard the siren horn.
Then in a short time again it rang,
Then on our door, there was a
bang,
We all knew it was our guide
Dianne,
Get on the bus as quick as you
can.
We all got out right quick
There at the bus was our good
driver, Rick.
When we got going down the
road,
They told us a gas tank did
explode,
They were frightened that fumes,
Would get into our rooms.
They told us before it was too late
The whole village had to evacuate
We drove for four or five miles,
Then we sat there quite awhile,
It was nearly two hours and a
half,
No one even dared to laugh.
Then Dianne came in and said,
I have found you all another bed, •
But we have to drive quite awhile,
I do not know how many miles.
When we got there through all
the din,
We landed at a Holiday Inn,
We went to bed, it was nearly
seven,
Up and away again about eleven.
We went and picked up our
guide,
He explained all things on our
ride,
He told us about the Civil War,
And what some of the things were
for.
With that day pretty well spent,
Back to our motel we went,
Next morning we started again,
There was just a little rain.
I don't think it did us any harm,
To see how the Amish people
farm,
They fed us all, it was real good,
It was all the Amish food.
Next day we went to Hershey
town,
Saw the chocolates go up and
down,
They came out wrapped in a
band, •
But none of it was done by hand.
We went over to the Hershey
school,
The man that built it was no fool,
It was such an enormous size,
Standing there before our eyes.
The Corning Glass was the last to
see,
It puzzled us all, even me,
To tell who all was on the tour,
I can not do it, I am sure.
But somehow, I still have a
hunch,
You all were ra nice friendly
bunch,
So now as we travel down the
years,
Our eyes will fill with joyful tears,
Thinking of all the fun 'we had,
It was all good, nothing bad.
So now as all the waiters say,
Thanks very much, "Have a good
day."
