"Neighbourly News”
Book Published
By Gregory Clark
The late Andy Clarke's "Neighbour-
ly News" broadcasts over a period of
eight years on the CDC network piled
up over a million written words of
sheer delight to a very wide audience,
These million words have been raked
and sifted down to 60,000 words for
a book--"Andy Clarke and His Neigh-
bourly News"—which has been pub-
lished by Ryerson Press in time to
be a Christmas gift to someone in all
the thousands of homes that were joy-
ously invaded by Andy's voice every
Sunday morning for, so many years.
When Andy Clarke'died, his widow,
Vi Dickens-Clarke, herself a, news-
paper woman all her life, determined
that Andy's work in recounting the
humor and good-will of Canadian
rural life, should be preserved in a
book. With the help of her friend,
Mrs. May Holland Cox, an experienc-
ed author, Mrs. Clarke spent a whole
year extracting' from those million
words of Andy's filed manuscripts
the very cream of the stories her hus-
band had culled from the weekly
newspapers of Ontario and Quebec.
The result is a book so essentially
Andy Clarke's that you can almost
hear the tone of his •voice as you read
the pages. It is a unique book, unique-
ly constructed and certain to he an
abiding sweet menu cry to a multitude
of people. The Canadian 'Weekly
Newspapers Association which, with
the CPC, was responsible for putting
Andy Clarke on the air, is co-operat-
ing with CBC and the publishers in
publicizing "Andy Clarke an d his
Neighbourly? News" and steps are be-
ing taken to make it easily available
to all who desire copies for Christmas.
The price is $3.00.

ing in Wingham General Hospital, of
one of Belmore's pioneer residents in
the person of Miss Minnie jeWay.
While Miss Jeffray had been in rather
poor health for smile time it was Imp-
ed that hospital care would restore
her to, at least a measure of her for-
mer health and strength, so it came
as a great shock to everyone, when
WO heard that she had suddenly passed
away. She has been a familiar figure
around Delmore for a long time. In
spite of her handicap, she filled a very
real place in the life of the commun-
ity. She was a staunch member of the
United Church and of the Women's
Institute. Her clever pen provided art-
icles and poetry for many meetings, as
well as writing for the local papers.
Her wonderful memoryi!, helped out
continually, as she always seemed pre-
pared to recite something at a mom-
ents notice and her recitations and bits
of humor enlivened many a gathering
in the community, We will all miss
her. Our pioneer residents are becom-
ing few.

Laymen's Banquet of the United
Church in Walkerton last Wednesday

Society was held in McIntosh church

of a counter attraction, Mr. Moore of

showed a sound film on "'The Heart of
India." The pictures were good. This
Society is doing a very necessary work
in the world and should be liberally
supported.
The Women's. Institute held a splen-
did meeting at Mrs. Roy Rutherford's
last Wednesday afternoon, There were
22 ladies present, The President, Mrs,
Elliott was in the chair. The Roll Call
"Quilt Pattern and a Sample" brought
a most interesting display of quilts and
quilt blocks showing that quilt mak-
ing is still a much practiced art atuong
the ladies of this community. The
motto "Our talents are our responsi-
bilities" was prepared by Mrs. Nor-
man Newans and read by Mrs, Elmer
