Mrs. Joe Martindale, of Port Huron, motored to Goderich re- cently to call on Mr. and Mrs. Emery Bedard and also her fa- ther who is in residence with them.

Mr. and Mrs. Solomn Denom- me and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Paul Denomme, all of Windsor, call- ed on relatives and friends re- cently in this neighbourhood. The Denommes are natives of this parish and it was nice to meet them at present. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gratton, of Port Blake, called on yours truly and Mrs. Ducharme on Fri- day evening last. Mr. Gratton is a cousin to Mr. Ducharme, and it was nice to meet and re- new past incidents. Bean Harvest A large percentage of bean acreage has been thrashed or put away this past week. The sample in all cases is good, but the yield is only half of a crop. A few from this neighbourhood have or will attend Western Fair, but he harvesting of the bean crop will for some hold them back. Only a wet spell would give them freedom, and that is not wanted, Drysdale The little burg today known as Drysdale, which at one time was the headquarters of this parish, and from that name this St. Joseph parish was known. It was not too many years after the township of Hay had sur- veyed the Sauble line road, to- day known as the Blue Water highway, that the name Drys- dale came in existence taking its name from its founder. Robert Drysdale, Sr., and its founding by the above name, could well date back to nearly a century. At that corner there was a hotel and a general store and a little later it the century a blacksmith shop was opened by the late Joseph Ducharme. Drysdale corner was a rendez- vous, especially for new mar- ried couples, for after their marriage there was no honey- moon as today, so they would go to Drysdale corner for the great- er part of the day in the dance room, where they would enjoy themselves. This dance room wasa lso a meeting place on cer- tain holidays, or other occas- ions, where young and old would get together. The general store was estab- lished by Mr. Drysdale, Sr., and was much appreciated by the ' old settlers, and as well by newcomers which at that time were mostly French who were the founders of this parish. The Drysdale store also had a post office by it's name. The mail was carried in from Kippen and was also delivered at that point. It was carried by a horse-drawn vehicle. The contract generally 1 1 For The Latest HAIR STYLING Give Us A CALL Phon 223 ZURICH NORMA'S BEAUTY SHOPPE TOP PRICES ' PAID FOR — CREAM EGGS • POULTRY Give Us A Call !

Ast he years passed on it became a settlement of differ- ent nationalities and all were agreeable, and since it was a new settlement much had to be done, so they helped one an- other to clear, build and estab- lish this parish. At that time even if the settlement was new, there was more people habita- ting itt han today, for most had only a narrow strip of land and neighbours were close together, therefore that gave the Drys- dale store a good business. There was no book-keeping in the Drysdale store. Mr. Drys- dale would hand his customers a blank book which all purchas- es were entered in and the same was chalked down in one simil- ar by himself. In that way of doing business both new the VARNA NEWS Win First Game A large crowd of softball fans followed the team to Hensall on Monday evening of this week, and cheered the boys to a win of 21-8 over the Bayfield team. This is the first of the playoffs. Another will be played on Wed- nesday and Friday evenings of this week. Confer Degree The Royal Black Preceptory met in the Orange Hall on Mon- day evening, September 11, when Lindsay Smith and Wil- liam Parker were advanced to the Fifth Degree. A lively dis- cussion followed the exemply- ing of the degree and lunch was served. Mr. and Mrs. Watson, of De- troit, visited with friends over the weekend.

I cannot recall how many years have gone by since the family went out of business. They moved to other centres when they left their Drysdale corner. At present the government has taken over the corner, and unless someone opens up a bus- iness in the immediate area the place of business will pass in ob- livion, and only memories will be left. However, for the par- ish and its surroundings, all is not lost, for in St. Joseph the Burgess family has opened up a general storet his past spring and is giving good service and meeting the public with court- esy. We believe they are well qual- ified for that kind of work, their plesant personalities will also attract the public which is es- sential in any business today, for not two persons are of the same temperment and they must be able to meet each to make it pleasant for both. After the Drysdale family moved away, the store carried on by other names but the Drys- dale remained so and still is today. Mr. Drysdale was not French but he could converse quite fluently, and it was neces- sary for at that time the French of this parish could not speak English. This little script is written on- ly by memory of the past years and by tadition left behind by the past generation, therefore, we pass it on to the press, but not without reserving the right tappoligy f any error.
