Bearing out whet I said about The meeting closed with the the importance of recording minister pronouncing the Bene - events before ,they= are lost from ° memory I quote from a letter a, Currie just received from Harold Ship- Tliel.m ley Turner of Goderich, formerly Phone 542J of Clinton: "The old town is full of history and good stories if they were only recorded. 1 re- call an impromptu gathering s„„,,,, there one evening almost twenty- five years ago. I went into W. D. Fair's store to pick up my 'evening paper and Col. Rance was there talking to Mr. Fair, and I stopped to listen to the yarn. In a few minutes Dr. Shaw dropped in for his paper, then in came Fred Jackson. No one intended to stay, but one good yarn brought on another, and it was almost midnight before we separated. I heard .more stories about the old timers than would fill a book. Can't recall a time when I laugh- ed more. Fred Jackson could mimic any of the old tuners re- gardless of their dialeot; and the memories of all four covered a lifetime in the one town."
