4 1 Decorations Add Old-Time Touch to Plaza The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 25,1983 11 Celebrated Her First Birthday The lady with the parasol is on her way to join numerous other old-fashioned people on the windows of the Waverley Plaza in Bowmanville. Cut-outs of several old-time scenes, including horses and buggies and old-fashioned people adorn the windows of the plaza this week during Bowmanville's 125th anniversary festivities. The cut-outs were created by Elena Racansky (left) and Cindy Visser, who are marketing students at Courtice Secondary School. About 20 hours of work were required to trace the various old-time characters and paint them. There are 22 sets of people and scenery on display. The plaza also featured a huge anniversary banner across the front of the building. Unfortunately, some misguided person or persons managed to antie and steal it within a couple of hours which was most upsetting to those who had gone to considerable expense and effort preparing and installing it.

Why did you bolt and leave your dad? Why did you beat it off to town And turn your poor old father down? Thinkers of platform pulpit and press Are wallowing in deep distress They seek to know the hidden cause Why, farmer boy desert their pas Well, stranger, since you've been so frank I'll roll aside the hazy bank I left my dad his farm to plow because my calf became his cow. I left my dad, t'was wrong of ■. course because my colt became his horse. I left my dad to sow and reap, because my lamb became his sheep. I dropped the hoe and stuck the fork because my pig became his pork. The garden truck that I made to grow was his to sell and mine to hoe. It's not the smoke in the atmosphere nor the taste for life that brought me here, please tell the platform pulpit press. No fear of toil nor love of dress is driving off the farmers' lads, it's just the methods of their dads. M.J. Stainton Department of Agriculture Short Course at Orono Jan. 1926.
