Phone 778 PONTYPOOL For many years we have read critics' notices of operas and other high falu lin concerts, with- out ever once knowing what the name of a particular opera or operatic aria meant, simply be- cause we nev9ý learned Italian or German. That is why we wish to publicly thank Greg Friend for his excellent job of reportir.g the recently held classical programn in Bowmanville. When Greg told us the namne of the pieces in its or- iginal language, he was thought- fttI enough to tell us the English translation. In' that wvay, many of the jaw-breakar titles, were found ho represent something beautiful. You've got the rigbt idea Greg, always talk the lay- nman's language, in othar words. if you do report this sort of stuff. cn't report it in the languaga that haif a dozan understand, but maka it so that duffers like me can read, understand and enjoy it. Don't forgat, that, out of twelva thousand of us who read this pa- pcr, aleven thousand, nîna hun- dred and twenty tbree don't understand anything but English and flot too much of that. We are sorry to report our three neigbbours, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Winn and baby are still in Bowmanville Hospital following their collision with a transport on Hîghway 35, ]ast Wednesday. At last report their condition wvas improving. A group of friands and neigh- bct'rs gathered at the home of Mr. wid Mrs. George Van Dam Satur- day for a 'baby sbowar, the re- cipient being the nawly arrived Ronald Kenneth Sutch. We think it is nice ho give the little fellows a bang up welcome. When we wcre boro, our mothar pradicted a brilliant future, but our father thought a new ica box xvas need- ed \vorse. The neighbours and relatives didn't make a fuss over our arrivaI, probably, bacause they didn't want outsiders ho know that the triba hnd increased by one more. Two inches of sticky snow last Sunday made everything look Christmasy around here. Many of our local male citi- zens are away deer hunting. We hope they are ahl able ho bag their quota. Eggs are almost as tcarce as hcn's teeth around these parts. Recent rains are welcoma 0w- ing tocisterns baing low. Vertal McMullen is changing the face of the old Perrin store on the north east corner. Christmas trae buyers have r Isi Cul 2nd Cul been active around these parts recently. We are quite proud of our fer- mer citizens, the Lathangue bro- thers, for having the initiative and pluck to instal 2-way radios in their fleet of taxicabs. Just goes to show what hayseeds fromn the old pine ridge can do once they get a chance. The local "fair- weather" taxi operator will likely follow the Lathangue's lead. So far, he hasn't even had a tele- phone installed in bis office. But, don't rush the guy, he's only been driving taxis for twenty years. Last Thursday evening a large group of folks gathered in the Manvers Orange Hall and pre- qented Mr. and Mrs. Jack Horner Wîth a large assortment of useful and beautiful gifts then followed up with a lunch and dance. Mrs. Horner is the former Ruth Mc- Donald. A lot of us are surprosed that someone nearer Pontypool didn't sponsor the affair. Those two young fellows that won ducks at the raffle held in Millbrook Saturday night were sore enough to kill somebody when they arrived at t h ir des%, tination, only to discover that somebody had heiÊted their fowl wben they were left unguarded in Pontypool for a few minutes. Jack Jamieson and family visi- ted at Fred Nimigon's over the week-end. Jack now bas his en- gineWrs papers. He couldn't get out of grade six when he attend- ed the local schools, but has proven many tLimes over that lie bad plenty c f latent ability.
