THE NEW TANNERTHURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2007 17THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 200716 ????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????? ?????? Hopefully everyone has their tickets for the Salute to our Veterans dinner on November 16th. Victor and Brian have great plans to make it a memorable dinner. If you have any memorabilia please bring it to the Centre and Victor will be happy to display it. The Irish dancers from Guelph will be delight- ful I am sure. Last week the Girls on the Go visited the Waldie Blacksmith shop in Milton, which is a working museum. The two blacksmiths Dar- win and Larry are there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It has been restored by the Milton Historical Society, and they store their archives there. Last Wednesday was cold, but it was nice and warm inside the shop. Darwin was busy making a candlestick when we were there, and he and Gloria Brown gave us lots of in- formation. I can quite see why it is a dying trade, as it takes forever, heating and hammering the metal until you have the desired shape. There was a huge display of horseshoes around the shop so hopefully they bring lots of good luck. When James A l f r e d Waldie first came to Canada as a young man, he took over an existing blacksmith busi- ness in Acton. In 1865 the family moved to Milton, and operated in the same building for over 100 years. Alfred Waldie operated the family business until 1970. Their house is next door, and one of the daughters Marsha still lives in it. We returned to our cars and drove to Springridge farm where we enjoyed some lovely hot soup and browsed the gift shop. The stores are trying to get us in the Christmas mood as far as shopping goes, and to really get us in the spirit this weekend is the Santa Claus parade in Acton. Victor and his committee are planning a float. Last year they won first prize in their category. The carpet bowlers were very happy to tell me they had 12 bowlers out last Mon- day. A record number! Betty Lockerbies Black team beat Peggy Naughtons Brown team 12 3. Members dont forget your grandchildren are invited to help trim the tree on Tuesday, November 20 at 1 p.m. and as always there will be good- ies for those helping. At 2 p.m. we will have the annual membership drive, so if you havent paid your member- ship for 2008 it would be a great time to do so. Prospec- tive members are encouraged to come along and see what we have to offer. The Bid Euchre had its usual two tables this week, and Ruth Burke and Shirley Hunter both had mooners. There were several peo- ple interested in playing scrabble, and it looks like Thursday afternoons would be the best time. If you dont enjoy playing cards, but want to keep those little grey cells active this would be the per- fect game for you. Donna Rowley tells me plans are in the works for the Tour of the Lights. It looks like there will be two buses courtesy of Tyler Transport, and the date will be Thurs- day, December 20. Details and pick up times nearer the date. There will be a sign up sheet, so if you are interested and cant get to the Centre pick up the phone and call 519-853-5951 and the person on the desk will be happy to put your name on the list. The same with the Friday lunches, if you would like to come on a Friday but cant get in during the week they will be happy to add your name to the list. Its the season for the Christmas Bazaars, and ours will be on Saturday Nov 24 from 11-2. There will be lots of baking, crafts, and draws. One prize is a beautiful hand- crafted bear made from a recycled beaver fur coat, plus a penny table with lots of great prizes and something to look forward to, our deli- cious tea. See you there! ??????????? ?? ?????? ????? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ??? ??? FARRIER FILLIES: Some of the Gals on the Go from Acton Seniors Centre learned blacksmithing skills last week at Waldies Blacksmith shop in Milton.
