One of three children, Edith was born on the eighth line in Morris Township. She was a student in a one room school house and she says she can still recall watching the teacher stoke an old wood stove and can remember running miles down country roads to avoid being late for school. In 1913, Edith married William Logan and the newlyweds settled on a farm seven miles outside Blyth. They lived there for three years and then moved to the house where Edith now lives. Though Edith has few recollections of the Roaring '20s, she does remember the first World War "I can remember the Blyth regiment marching right past my window," said Edith. Edith has seen a lot pass by her window. Sixty-seven years ago she and her husband purchased the large red brick home and began raising their three children, Lillian, Effie and Kathleen. According to Edith, the couple were able to make it through some pretty rough times with little difficulty. "The depression wan't too bad for us, we did alright," she explained. "My husband was a great gardener, so we always had food on the table." A widow for 39 years, she is proud of her children. "Kathleen became a nurse, Lilly became a school teacher, she was a won- derful teacher, and Effie opened up a little store," said Edith with pride.

This year Belgrave has demonstrated a much more balanced scoring attack, than in the past few seasons, and has already outscored their opponents by a 12-1 margin in their first four games, all of which were victories. Last Tuesday, Belgrave battled arch -rival Blyth Baintoneers, and thumped the Bain- toneers by a score of 4-1. Donna Walsh led Belgrave with a goal and an assist, while Cheryl Walker, Merrilyn Black and Andrea Lucas added one goal apiece. June Bakker collected two assists and Marie Brindley ad- ded one for the winners. Patty Schoemaker set up Marg Kroes for the Baintoneers' lone goal. On Thursday night, single goals by An- drea Lucas, June Bakker and Donna Walsh led Belgrave to a 3-0 romp over the Goderich Knight Riders. Collecting one assist each were Donna Walsh, Cheryl Walker and Brenda Gordon.

Kathleen explained that her mother was very gifted with her hands. "She used to do beautiful needlepoint, crocheting and knitting. When she was younger she was a seamstress and she used to sew for people in the area," commented Kathleen. The- centenarian also experimented with oil painting and china decoration that, ac- cording to Mrs. Keith Webster (a close friend), "is very beautiful work." Longevity must run in Edith's family. She has a sister who is 98 and living in Sarnia. On Saturday the sister took a two hour trip to Blyth to visit Edith for her birthday celebration. Friends and relatives from all over made the journey to be with a woman they ragr0Pt'1 !nye Y On Friday Edith said she had been looking forward to the party for a long time, she said the get-together is almost like -.; family t eunion. "I hope everyone has a nice time and there are no accidents," she added. Over the years friends in Blyth have been very kind to Edith. "'rhe man across the way comes over and cuts my grass for me and there is a lady who phones me when she is going away and asks if I want a ride," she said. "A while o I stayed in Huronview and when I was away a man looked after my home. He made sure the furnace was on and when I came back the home was nice and warm." If Edith had the chance to live 100 years all over again she wouldn't alter a thing. "What would be the use. I've been very happy and contented all these years, there would be nothing to change," she said.
