A Woman's Viewpoint on This and That
By MBA (Margaret Baines Atkey)
WELL, did you ` miss "Let's
Chat" last week?'e. We were,
left out because ye editor figur-
ed that the names of those at-
tending the reunion were of much
more interest than anything we
could Write And we quite
agreed, . , In' fact, as a result
of the five days and the many
days previous of 'disruption to our
more or less orderly life, we.
doubt if we could have written
a line . . . And as far we could
see no columnist's " comments
were necessary to describe the
week's happenings - for weren't

WHAT with the weeks for
preparation, we imagine there
were a lot of tired people in
town -and especially the house-
wives who were hostesses to
dozens of guests ... We imagine.
that no matter how pleasant a
time everyone had during those
"glorious five days" that every
woman is pleased to get back to
normal and just prepare meals
for the family and get caught
up on the preserving and pickling
that is in full swing now .
We were certain that we had
missed out on the raspberries
this year . . For until the be-
ginning of this week we couldn't
do a thing about them . , . There
just wasn't the time How-
ever we found that the Carters'
still had a goodly supply and

"First Column" about her pets
"of dubious origin," so she has
written a little article on several
of the wild animals she has
adopted during the past year and
we are pleased to print her ex-
periences in adopting pets that
most certainly are not of "dub-
ious" origin but we leave you
to judge as to whither they are

have around the house ... Erma
certainly has a way with animals
that many of us have not . ,

DUBIOUS ORIGIN OR NOT?
By Erma Hartley
Last summer while Hal' and I
were driving along the Cut Line
to the Blue Water Highway we
spied a very small baby skunk
on the side of the road. We stop-
ped and I jumped out and picked
it up (Hal wouldn't), but I was
quite sure it was safe at that
age. We evidently couldn't find
his own food, as he was very thin
and hungry. We filled him up
with milk and pablum at home,
and he thrived wonderfully well,
and in a few days was as fat
as butter.
He became very tame and loved
to play around your feet just
like a kitten, and would lead
around outside on a leash like
a dog. In fact, he would follow

Kiddies ,'Enjoy 'Clinton Old Boys'` Reunion
ALTHOUGH CLINTON Old Boys' Reunion, August 5-9, was designed with the notion of
getting together the boys and girls of years ago, their youngsters weren't overlooked in the
programs. With a midway in operation at Community Park, the kiddies enjoyed the fair.

CHURCH REDECORATED
GORRIE - Re -opening of the
Gorrie United Church auditorium

ated at a cost of $1,500.
much better than a puppy, for
young skunks usually travel
single file one after the other.
However, as he grew older he
became more trouble as he want-
ed to stay outside longer in
order to dig in the ground, so
we decided to let him go free
rather than keep him penned up.
This summer we acquired two
baby red squirrels, which I rais-
ed on milk and pablum again,
fed to them through an eye-
dropper.
They too became very tame,
and as they grew older, also very
active, for red squirrels are the
fastest moving and most warlike
of any of the squirrel family.
They loved to play up and down
the dining room curtains, which
needless to say, was rather hard
on the curtains, and also would
chase one another around the
floor, and around any conven-
ient chair rungs, etc. We spent
many amusing hours watching
them play, and I've also had to
stand while they played tag
around me, which they seemed
to enjoy most of all.
But we decided finally that
they would be happier and more
content if we let them go free
and live in their own element.
I now say that I am not going
to raise any more wild animals,
which in the end have to be let
go free (that is, I don't think I
will).

Letters To The Editor
"A WONDERFUL TIME"
DEAR FRIENDS:
We have just returned home,
after visiting with you through
"Old Home Week."
I felt I must write and tell
you what a wonderful time we
had. I am not a Clintonian my-
self, but my husband is. The
welcome we received made me
wish I had been.
The program for the week was
wonderful and the way it was
carried through was even more so.
The committee responsible
should be justly proud of their
achievement, and the people of
Clinton commended, for their
part in makin gthe Old Boys
and their friends so welcome,
I am hoping we will be there
for the next "Old Home Week."
(I most certainly would like to
see the "Colts" kicking up their
heels again).
Thank you all again, 'friends,
for the wonderful time we had
and the memories we will cher-
ish forever.
Yours very truly,
MIMI TWYFORD

Dear Mr. Lawson:
My very fine friend, Mr. Wil-
liam (Bill) Eagleson, informs me
today with a tone of regret in
hischoice, that it is impossible
for him to attend your Clinton
Old Boys' Reunion.
We are sorry that he won't be
with you to see the old "Swimnvin
Hole" - "Vinegar Hill" - "Little
England" - "Devil's Half Acre"
and the "Old SchooI."
Such meetings, where old
-friends gather to renew old
acquaintances and discuss the
events of by -gone years are good
occasions for everyone concerned.
You will miss Mr. Eagleson who
is now, as he has always been,

one of our most highly regarded
and respected citizens of Aber-
deen and this community. I deem
it my privilege and duty to let
his Old Friends in Clinton know
how much we appreciate him.
Bill (I trust you will pardon
the abrevietion, we all call him
Bill) is the perfect gentleman. in
thought, word and deed. His
residence, in Aberdeen these
many years, has proven his fine
qualities as friend and citizen.
When I think of Bill Eagleson,
he reminds me of the Village
Smithy in Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow's beautiful poem, "The
Village Blacksmith."
I first knew Mr. Eagleson back
in 1916; the last 35 years have
not aged him in appearance or
dulled the keenness of his think-
ing, the same level-headed and
sound thinker throughout the
years, always a kind woad and
bright smile with his hearty
greeting. He is one citizen that
is always welcome in my office;
we enjoy his visits to our Muni-
cipal Building.
The Engleson family is highly
respected in our community and
rightly so, because there is none
better. . "The Eaglesons' " have
contributed much to our city
throughout their residence here.
May I join with Bill in wishing
You end the "Clinton Old Boys"
a very happy reunion.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed)
