"I am 'a housewife and Mother and part-time journalist.
Because I was born in SaskatcheWan, I sent a recent article
of Canadian memories to the Leader Post, Regina, and the
editor, in a kind letter of acceptance, told me he had been
° raised neat Dungannon, Ontario, called after the N. Irish
Dungannon in which I now live. •
"I found this most interesting and wondered whether it
would be possible, through,your local newspaper, school or
dhurch, We Could TWIN our two towns. This would, I think bp
of great interest to our people here, and Pm sure, to local
Canadians in yolk part of the world. I will be very glad to
enter into correspondence with anyone who thinks this is a
good idea and wants to develop it. .
"You- may like to have a few details about me and any life.
My , father emigrated to Canada from Belfast as a very
young Man; :Sold tea from a jaunting car in Winnipeg, far-
_ mcd near Aurora and finally homesteaded on the prairie,
fourteen miles or. so from Willowbunch.
"My mother, a school teacher, emigrated from Yorkshire
to help with the education of children in the new settlements.
They married and raised four children but in the Hungry
Thirties, after years of drought and crop failure, we
returned to mrfather's country. I was ten, my sister fifteen,
one brother twelve and the other nine.
ftAs soon as we were old enough in the war, we all joined
the Air Force - my two brothers as pilots, my sister. and I in
the W.A.A.F. My elder brother, after training in Alabama,
was shot down over Holland and lieS -with his crew in the
Allied' Cemetery near Eindhoven,. The other brother Was
poSted to Saskatchewan, training among our friends there
and serving with a certain distinction which won hiin the Air
Force CrOss, the youngest holder of this award in the whole
Air Force: He is now in Atherica working with LOckheeds.
"My Sister married a Dungannon. solicitor and has three,
children, all now grown up. Her elder son, serving with the
Royal Tank Regiment, has recently been transferred from
his station in Germany to Medicine Hat, Saskatchewan; on a
two-month course. We await' his return with great ex--
citement as he 'hopes to visit all the people and places we
loved so well -When we were there. We are very protid of our
Canadian origins,
VI myself a m married to a Civil Engineer and we have one,
son, aged 15'. He is in the South Ulster Youth Orchestra,
playing the violin and also plays the piano, guitar and.
ukulele. He also has great interest in wild life and plans to
study Languages in university when his school days are
over. My husband's father was Minister of Belleville
Presbyterian Church, CO. Armagh, and I am at present in
correspondence with the leader writer of a , Belleville
newspaper in,Ontario. My husband's father also ministered
for some years in Winnipeg and Nova Scotia, and for a short
time, my husband worked as engineer on the Hamilton dock
extension in Ontario.
"So you will see that our ties.with your country are many
and very strong. My husband and I met at university after
the war.
"Our Dungannon is a small town of about 7,000 people. It
has many splendid'sehools, serving a wide district. My son's
school was founded in 1614 and has produced many very
famous and gifted men. During recent troubles, Much of the
town itself has suffered grievously from bombing and
burning. Just over a year ago, we had the biggest terrorist
bomb of the whole terrible campaign, when a, hijacked
postal van was filled with 800 lbs. of explosive and placed in
the middle of our Market Square.
Nowever, the people are full of patience and courage and
much of the damage was repaired almost at once. Now,
hopefully, there is peace. Many of the protective barricades
have been removed 'and life returns almost to normal,
though there are still police and army checks to keep us safe.
We have always found that the vast majority of our
population wish to live quietly and in friendship together.
"I hope, particularly, that the young people will try to
think not just of their place in our small community but of
their place in the world and so, in my writing, I try to widen
their horizons - with, I feel, 'a certain amount of success. Also
I have recently had a 20 minute script accepted by the
B.B.C. which was a great thrill to me. I was able to broad-
cast on Monday of this week and there has been exceeellent
response, which makes me very happy.
"I shall look forward to hearing about your town of
Dungannon ,and perhaps you could send me photograpshs. I
will do the same for you and we might exchange small news
items, articles, etc. Mollie Whiteside (Mrs.)
