Letter to the Editor 21 Hermitage Rd. Saughall, Chester CHIGRE, England November 9th, 1979 Dear Statesm-an Staff Frienids; More than two weeks have elapsed since our return from Ontario where we had spent a most enjoyable five week holiday. Wile in Ontario we wvere in Bowmanville, Orono, Tyrone, Lindsay, Hlaliburton, Lambeth, London, Guelph, Agincourt and Oshawa. No wonder time slipped so rapid- ly away. We still speak of the great kindness and hospitality extended to us. Getting to Canada and returning to England were journeys not without their problems. On coming your way in mid-September there was a strike of airport firemen at our starting point of Manchester.This necessitated our being xnoved to Liverpool >irport which we eventually lef t four hours late of the scheduled departure tLime. Our arriv'l at Toronto was marked by a touch of humor in which Winnie and 1 shared. We had acquired a set of wheels and extending hiandles across which our two large luggage cases were laid. On our arms we each carried a Faîl coat and hat, and previous use of the wheels convinced us that the outfit could be pushed ahead of us, instead of being pulled as usually intended. Coming through the electronically controlled doors from the Customs room to the dispersal lounge we were greeted by a resounding cheer fromn the waitixig crowd. Most of these folk were in shirt-sleeves. We were prepared for old man Winter, and hence the amuse- ment on the part of the crowd. Coming home, we found that OUr' carrier had made arrangements for us and 62 other passengers to be brought to England by an 'Air Canada' plane. Moreover, as 'Air Canada' lands only at London, we were being brought by coach to our starting point of Manchester. This move from London to Manchester made for a journey as time consuming as that of the original one by air from Toronto to London. "Jet Lag", that travel tiredness associated with planes, trains and coaches had certainly settled upon us in double portion, and we are thankful to have rested at this point. Our neighboring City of Chester has had a great deal of excitement of late. Much of this was occasioned by a visit from our beloved Queen, and from Prince Phillip. A week ago today, Winnie and 1 joined the throngs at Chester Rail- way Station and took part in the welcome accorded the Royal party. We enjoyed an even dloser look at the visitors following their service at Chester Cathedral in which the Bishop of Chester had preached on the theme "Except the Lord build the City, they labor in vain that build. " That was in connection with their departure to' a Mollington farm where ,a demonstration was to take place, and the making~ of Cheshire cheese explained. Onlookers at this far endi ot Chester had t1hinned out in their numbers, and 1 was standing at the outside with unimveded view when the Royal car passed on the way to Molling ton. This morning's post brought our first Christmas card of 1979. 1 't was from Mliss Agnes Scott at Bowmanville, and we are sending Miss Scot t a copy of the "Cheshire Observer" with its many pictures of the Queen and the Prince in their Chester visit. Speakingc of Christmas, the weeks are quickly narrowing in, and bringing us to that time of the year once again. May we take this opportunity, Winnie and 1, to wish the host of friends a Blessed Christmas, and a happy and prosperous time in the year ahead. Among our interests and activities, are those of Saughall's Senior Citizens Club, "The Golden Link", also the local gardening club, and last but not least, "Northgate Churuh". Northgate Church was formierly "Congregation- al" and for a long time,, its buildings were used by the Chester College. When it became known that these would be offered for sale by auction, the charismatic fel- lowship "Church of the Day" decided to bld within a certain price. That price proved to come within the going cost of an ordinary bouse. Two other parties were interested in buying the church. One was another congregation, the other a building contractor. Having taken on the buildings, "The Church of the Way" made surprisingly swif t pro- gress in the cleýanîng, re-decorating, and renovation of the same. At present day costs, a haîf million dollars would be little enough to duplicate this very fine edifice and s0 many Chester people have been heard to express satisfaction that "Northgate" is to continue a place of worship. Most members and adherents of "Northgate"e are young people, and these are dedicat- ed and sincre' in their witness. One of the anxieties of north Wales at the moment is the threatened closure of the Shotten steel works. A coach carrying Shotten workers passes here each work day. Il is felt that extending the life of the Shotten works would be unwise and uneconomical, yet much unemployment would result if the plant should close down. Winnie and 1 recently had a day in Liverpool, where we discovered a wonderful market, and somne fine new shops. Liverpool suffered extensive wartime damage, but is becoming re-built and restored. Speaking again of neighboring Chester, the citly is this year celebrating 1900 years of recorded history. A supplement of the "Cheshire Observer" was called "Cele- bration", and touched on somne of the aspects of those years since Roman times. In calling at the Statesman offices in mid-September 1 lef t a copy of Celebration with Mr. James. 1 am stili delighted and impressed with the pictures and articles carried by the 'Statesman', and was particularly interested with the write-up regarding the 'Morton' farm home, "Dikadel". Both of us retain an interest in garden lore, and in growing things. Winnie is the authority on flowers and plants, and was pleased at receiving prizes for her roses and pansies, when the local garden club had a display somne weeks ago at the "Vernon Institute". As an effort to offset unemployment, the authorities gave the "Vernon In.stituite" a good rerovatfion during the summer months. It has macle miîs local hall a much more attractive center for groups of varlous kinds including the "Golden Link" and the "Garden Club". Letters to Santa 48 Rosalynne Ave. Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Santa, Mommy is writing this letter 'cause 1 only scribble. Please bring me the kid's hospital and a hockey shirt - Maple Leafs, with numbers on it. (Lanny McDçirald's). Thank you Santa. Love Andrew Fergusorl 48 Rosalynne Ave. Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Santa,, How is Mrs. Santa and all your elves? And how are you too, Santa? Please Santa, 1 want the ricochet rifle and Luke Skywalker's X-wing fighter. How is Rudolph the Red- nosed reindeer, and Cupid, Donner and Blitzen? We're making books at school, about 'How People and animals get ready for winter.' Santa could you give my Daddy a new men's necklace and my Mom the Castle Lego set. Your friend, Kevin. A board at the entrance to the village hairdresser's bears the ins-cription "Curl up and Dye"'. Not wishing to incur such a rebuke myself, I will sign off for the present. Yesterday, Winnie and 1 were around the various rooms of Chester Town Hall, where at present there is an American study of Chester history, and how it relates to some of their own past story. Considerable effort had been made to show how indeed the English scene had affected the Amnerican and vice-versa. Wishing the "Statesman" and staff continued success and prosperity. We remain yours sincerely and gratef ully.
