Damage was relatively
low in a two vehicle accident
in .Port Franks last Thur-

by people of that community.
A vehicle driven by Dianne
Gratton of Nipigon Street,

estimated at only $20. and to
the McKinlay vehicle at $500.
There were no injuries.

considerably from -the 95
speeders that were -charged
the previous week. when
radar was used.
Five people were charged
under the liquor licence act,
and one charge was laid
oder the narcotic control
act. One break and enter was
investigated and one im-
paiFed driver was charged.
Dave Nolan again scored
twice, and Pete Backx put
the icing on the cake with a
single. This gave the game a
final score of 7 to 4. and the
Colonials a league trophy.

v
musings
BY MARY ALDERSON
The beautiful Indian
summer weather over the
weekend must have really
helped farmers with their
harvest.
This year harvest for me
consisted of shaking up a few
marigolds in my flower bed
to save the seeds for next
year. Going out with a little
Baggie and gathering in a
few small flower seeds may
not be in the same category
as greasing up a 22 foot wide
combine to go over a few
hundred acres of corn, but 1
think it almost gives you the
same feeling of satisfaction.
Several years ago I used to
take a more active part in
The harvest - usually under
protest. But there was one
job that I never complained
about very much. That was
in late August when my
father was combining
barley. It usually took Dad
three or four rounds with the
combine to fill the hopper
with grain. Then it was my
job to drive a tractor and
wagon under the spout so
that the hopper could empty
into the wagon. The rest of
the time I could sit on my
comfortable tractor seat in
my bathing suit and read
books. That summer I was
"into" Nancy Drew, and I
got the best tan I ever had.
Unfortunately just as I would
reach the best part of the
story, my Dad would be
yelling at me because I
hadn't been watching and

Thanksgiving held at Church of God
Last Friday evening the
W.C.G. (Women of the
Church of God) held a
Thanksgiving supper with
100 attending. A short
devotion was -conducted by
Rev. John Campbell before
the meal.
After the delicious supper,
and while the kitchen clean
up and dishes were done,
some of the adults ac-
companied children and
youths to the Public School
gym for recreation and
games.
At the dose of the evening
Mr. and Mr. James Snyder,
recently married. were
presented gifts and best
wishes from Church of God
congregation.
the hopper was overflowing.
And then of course there
were other interruptions -
like having to scratch for 10
minutes after sitting down
wind from the combine.
Having your body covered
with barley "beards" is a
very itchy situation.
I used to get other jobs on
the farm. too. But looking
back, I wonder sometimes if
I wasn't just being used. My
father would hire a gang of
five or six people to hoe
weeds in an onion field. He'd
line everybody up. and get us
started at one end of the
field. I was always sent down
a row directly in the middle -
of the group. Now I know
why. It seems as if the group
always worked a little faster
when they knew that the
"boss's daughter" was right
in their midst.
If I had known what a
benefit I was, I would have
asked for a raise.
Fall is always the nicest
time on a farm. It was en-
joyable seeing the wagon
loads full of potatoes and
onions rolling into the
storage every afternoon. But
as any farmer knows, the
wagons don't always roll in
smoothly.
I remember riding home
on the school bus one sunny
October afternoon. Just as
the bus was nearing my
home, there was a lot of
commotion on the road
ahead.
Here was one of my Dad's
bulk wagons filled with
potatoes precariously sitting
on three wheels in the middle
of the highway. He had been
turning into our driveway
when the wheel had come
off, and half of his heaped up
load had spilled out- on the
pavement. --Cars were
stopped in both directions
and the wagon was being
" *liar p.
My first thought was that
all the kids on the bus would
be angry at being held up - it
was such a nice day and
everyone wanted to get home
to play. I also thought I
would take a lot of teasing
when I had to get off the bus
and pick up all the spilled
potatoes while the ret of
them sat and watched me.
�tAS.when 1 started fo pick
-the-potatoes scattered on
the road and put them in a
bushel, the bus driver had an
idea. He told all the kids to
get off and help pick up the
potatoes too, while he
worked with the men to get
the wagon moving again.
Suddenly f was a hero.
This was a great adventure.
Never before had the bus
driver let the pupils off the
bus before they got to their
8014.; I panned.- out --bushels
and soon all the stray
potatoes were picked up. The
kids hada lot of ftin helping
out.. r' -
1'in gine there were alot
of mothers wondering why
their children had such dirty
,,hands when they got home
that day.

A few of your own teeth are
80A better than dentures.
