Shopping in Port Credit, she parked her English model car, and went about her business. Mission completed, she returned, failed to notice two of the abbreviated cars were parked bumpér to bumper, got out her keys, got into one of them, and drove home. For the next three hours, police checked and double checked the mystery of the "stol- en" vehicle. Eventually, a con- stable arrived at the lady's front door, and the case of mistaken identlty was straightened out. The chance in a million? That this gal's keys would fit both vehicles. LIKE OLD TIMES Fall fairs really came back into their own this autumn, with Mil- ton topping Halton attendance fig- ures with a 10,000 turnout. Oldest man present, G. A. Hemstreet, 97, lacked just six months in match- ing the fair's 98 year mark. Mrs. W. H. Speers, of Bronte, now 90, was the oldest woman present. ADRIAN'S BRUSH A picturesque farm near Low- ville claimed nation-wide atten- tion last weeks, thanks to the tal- Adrian Dingle, whose painting of the flaming yellow and orange autumn countryside provided the cover illustration for MacLean's Magazine. Mr. Dingle, who now lives near Cooksville, reports: "While I was painting, the farm- er left his team and ambled over every time he came around. T was unused to such attention, and it unnerved me, particularly since the farmer said nothing, just looking over my shoulder and grunting each time he Inspected my work.

Dipping deep into the old files of the Totonto Daily Mail of 1893, editor Walter Biehn last week came up with an interest- ing historical treatise in his Georgetown Herald The old Mail devoted a four page spread to Georgetown, first settled in 1820, thereby providing Mr. Biehn with a wealth of informative data. It is certain that Herald readers found much of personal interest in Walter's historical delving. Bv= en this commentator, who had never been in Georgetown up un- til three years ago, learned that several of his forbears had located in that centre in 1837, when the settlement bore the somewhat un- euphonious name of Hungry Hol- low. Mr. Biehn's article was the first of a contemplated series. NEW INDUSTRY A. P.

The firm, which also operates in Weston, makes fire brick and crucibles.

So now they have to locate a lad who will be responsible for picking up letters slipped into these boxes day. Sounds like a not to be sneer- ed at addition to income, but council's call for tenders is bare of remunerative detail or data re hours ( or minutes) of work. WATCH IT, BERT!
