Casey Casemore returns from latest European visit Wingham's happy wan- derer, Lloyd "Casey" Casemore returned Sunday from the latest of numerous trips to Europe and reports the weather has been causing real problems there too. ' In fact, the weather is the main subject in the streets of Europe and in the press. Traditionally, the spring climate in Europe is wet and cool, but this spring marks the longest period of un- settled weather in over 250 years. Casey said this year's crops could be ruined if the poor weather does not let up soon. The farmers are not the only ones suffering, he add- ed. The merchants have been forced to reduce the price of their summer stock because it has not been selling. The . popular joke in England at present, Mr. Casemore said, is that Mrs. Thatcher called the election for June rather than the fall because fish and chips will double in price due to a, shortage of potatoes. Mr. Casemore visited several places he had stayed during his years of service in World War II. The six-week tour took him to London, England, Germany, Bel- gium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the Medi- terranean. Among the highlights of his trip was attending an open house at a new Philips plant. Mr. Casemore said he was amazed at the advances of modern technology, particularly in laser disc units for recording. He also visited the Bastogne Historical Centre, the world's finest war museum, which opened six years ago near Luxembourg. Another highlight was a stop -over at Keukenhof Park, Netherlands. Mr. Casemore said this park boasts the finest and largest collection of flowering bulbs in the world, with more than six million flowers blossom- ing over a 70 -acre site. One very moving moment for Mr. Casemore was at- tending the nightly ceremony of playing "The r: '%I/lN�:yy%! +.L lf•4fF'f.�%.j,'pi�. LLOYD "CASEY" CASEM©RE—Wingham's own rov- ing ambassador of good will, returned Sunday from his latest of numerous trips to Europe and Great Britain. Mr. Casemore reported that farmers in Europe are being plagued by cold and rainy weather, just like here in Can- ada, and they are finding it difficult to get their crops planted. He visited many points of interest, including London, England's famous Royal Albert Music Hall where the great orchestras and singers of the world perform. Last Post" at a memorial at Ypres, Belgium. The memorial has the names of over 50,000 Allied soldiers lost in World War I who have no known grave. He also represented this country at a service at the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery in the Nether- lands. He said he was proud to take part in this large and impressive ceremony. Aside from touring histori- cal sites, Mr. Casemore re- newed acquaintances and visited with friends made during the war and on subse- quent visits. He said he is looking forward to this sum- mer when some of his Euro- pean friends will be guests at his own home here in Wing - ham.

Since his retirement, Mr. Henderson has made a hobby of erecting birdhouses throughout the countryside in an attempt to bring back the bluebirds which at one time were in this area in large numbers but of late years have become scarce. Mr. Henderson has erected more than 100 birdhouses and, although many of these houses have been taken over by other species of birds, a number of bluebirds are now nesting in these birdhouses and the bluebirds appear to be slowly making a comeback.
