Courtice Gardener Grows Unusual Potato Gordon Heard, Courtice, has demonstrated amazing perseverance and so has his unusual potato. Apparently Mr. Heard brought the specimen to the Statesman office quite some time ago but the picture taken then miraculously disappeared. However, Mr. Heard's potato was stored in his fruit cellar and he was kind enough to bring it in again. This spud was harvested from Mr. Heard's garden in September and weighed just under three pounds.

Lorne Ketela made a progress report on planned story hours for Solina Library. Lorna and Cindy Ashton gathered much useful information regarding time, place and contents will be sent to parents. Lois Worden from Oshawa Family Services was the guest speaker for the evening. Her topic was child abuse. Her re- port was excellent and made all of us realize how fortunate we are to have families and friends to rely on in a time of crisis. Many problems can lead to child abuse and the reactions of most horror and anger as to how a parent is in need of as much support and care as the child. In this field the social worker and their volunteers do a remarkable job considering how many case loads they carry. As this is the International Year of The Child we would do well as individuals and groups to help improve the life of all children as they are the adults of tomorrow. The formal meeting was adjourned, but lively discus- sions carried on as a delicious luncheon was served by Cindy, Ashton and Helen Parks. - Lorna Ketela P.R.0 3A 3 TABLE GROUP $168.88 Wrought Iron SPIRAL STAIRCASE PLANT STANDS $24.88 Cash & Carry • BUDGET TERMS • CHARGEX • MASTER CHARGE SCHRISTMAS LAAWAY AI C fMIVKSONIRD.

Dated at The Town of Newcastle this 5th day of December, 1979 J.M. Mclroy, AM.C.T Town Cerk 49-3 Editor 1979 124 Francisco Madero; Cuautla, Mor, Mexico. Dear Editor John J. Many thanks for your letters from home; (your editions of the Statesman of Oct. 24th and 31st) which arrived together teday. They realiy seem like letters from home with ail the wealth of news from Bowman- ville and district. I looked for "49 years ago and 25 years ago" but did hot find them. The above pictures will give you an idea of the appearance of my young friends in this part. Last winter I conducted singing lessons for nearly 2,000 young people. The school music is very poornhere; I would like toshanghai a group of the boys and girls who used te sing for me inTowmanville bring them down here and have them show these people how sch~olo singing should be. You will note I use my violin. I have to use it to keep tnem in tune. We are keeping pretty well in spite of our advancing years. The climate is marvel- lus. It does not rain all winter, we do not heat houses, nor wear top coats, and we can swim all winter. Yours truly, Francis Sutton
