Flick, 81, of Goderich, can hardly wait to set foot on the open road. Mr. Flick, the walltingest man in umpteen counties, has bigger and better plans for 1957. He is now in training for a two-day, 65 - mile walk (Yee, walk) to London. He is undaunted by the fact that his family doesn't exactly approve o of such an ambitious walkabhon at his age. Mr. Flick, who is presi- Irish dent of Goderich Octogenarian Club, will be 8Z next August. As a matter of fact, he thinks he is in better shape to make the 65 - mile jaunt than any of ,the folks who are cautioning him. He points out that he walked 22 miles in one day about three weeks ago. He figures he would have to walk 30 miles a day for two days to get to London. Walked. From Clinton Three weeks ago, he set out for Clinton and was nearing Holmes- ville when he was picked up by Clayton Laithwaite. Mr. Laith- waite gave him a ride into Clinton. "I must have walked about two miles around Clinton," Mr. Flick told the Signal -Star. "When I mis- sed a ride home, I started out to walk again." "It was six o'clock when I left Clinton and I walked into the house in Goderich at 10 o'clock," he said. "My legs got weary the last mile or two, but that was be- cause I hadn't eaten any supper." Mr. Flick feels that his back- ground fits him well for long walks. When he was farming in Colborne Township, he got lots of practice in walking behind a plow. One man has calculated that, if a farmer plows two acres in a day, he walks about 20 miles behind the plow in so doing. Then he still has to do the chores, an, that means more walking. Though he has been away from the farm for 15 years, Mr. Flick still "hoofs" three or four miles in a normal' day. He does con- siderable visiting in his official capacity as president of the Octtag- enarian Club. He stays with his daughter, Mrs. O' W. E. Young, .of Cameron street. She is somewhat less enthusiastic than her father about his forth- coming walk to London. He thinks he will head out for London about the beginning of May. It depends on the weather and how itchy his feet get. "I had a notion to tackle the London walk last fall, but the weather turned bad," he said. 0 0 Colleens Stage Conceit At Benmiller The Irish Group of Benmiller held their annual Irish social Wed- nesday of last week. Despite the inclement weather, a good crowd turned out. ' The "Irish Colleens" came through again with a rollicking program. A skit, "A Lovely Day," was played iby Mrs. George Ross as "Mike," iwhd was very illy Mrs. Jim Feagan took the part as his wife and Mrs. Arthur ,Maskell as the very efficient 'mother-in-law. Mrs. Bob Bradley was a neighbor who dropped in to borrow a cup of molasses. Mrs. Kernighan, the president of the Ladies' Aid, calls to have her !books audited. Mrs. Ralph Jewell played the part of the maid, spilling the breakfast all over poor "Mike" and then two neighbors, Mrs. Bill Treble and Mrs. Arnold Fisher dropped in to have a cosy chat. "Mike" makes a hasty exit and thinks it will be a lot quieter at the office. Two other numbers, "The Farm- er," and a skit entitled, "Old Sweethearts," the cast including the whole group, 'were well re- ceived. Mrs. Robt. Phillips accompanied a quartette of ladies from Auburn —Mrs. Duncan MacKay, Mrs. Wm. Craig, Miss Carter andiMrs. Gordon Taylor. They rendered four mus- ical numberswhich were very much enjoyed. A bake sale was held at the eon - elusion . of fhe .program .and then •••••••••••••••••••••••• tea and a lunch w,as,served by the Irish Group. W. R.
