A new era of prosperity appears to be rignt around the corner, a couple of our community's top Pork Producers Producers are each sporting new cars not Volkswagens either - Oldsmobiles and Buicks - both pretty sharp looking vehicles.

When they hum " A Hunting we will go " they definitely mean business. The last couple of days of this past week continued at the same hectic pace for our Malconia residents as experienced experienced early in the week. On Friday it was our pleasure to preside at the fall zone 4 Meeting held at Trenton from 10-4 p.m. We had some pretty experienced U.C.O. staff assisting in the days agenda namely - Bob Be- thune Corporate Sect, Stan Lotocke our Legal Beagle (sometimes referred to as Legal Council for U.C.O. ) and Keith Sinclair who manages manages our U.C.O. Livestock operation at the Ontario Stockyard if not with an iron fist, at least a stalwart U.C.O. cane. Your Yelverton correspondent correspondent completed a 9 year tenure of office and will be superceded,next year by Mr. ; John Bergveld, Chairman'of' Eoxboro S.S.C. .Obviously John will have trouble fitting his " wooden - shoes " into those of his predecesor who possessed such a plentitude of ability, integrity, diligence, - articulate, conscientious vigilance vigilance coupled with such an innate sense of modesty (my pen even balked on that statement) When a formeer rival for the office moved a vote of thanks to yours truly for his 9 year contribution followed by a standing ovation ovation by the U.C.O. delegates present, we were completely astounded and almost speechless, but not quite. The first and no doubt the last' standing ovation we will ever receive, and certainly keenly appreciated. In all sincerity we enjoyed our term of office with U.C.O. with all its ups and downs and extend best wishes to our successor John B. and trust he will receive the same support from the membership membership as I did. Saturday was party day for Corrie and I.

We were surprised to learn that Reverend Theodore Theodore (Ted) Poulter, the resident resident minister there was the son of the late Reverend Alfred Alfred Poulter who was the minister of the Bethany Yelverton Yelverton Charge more years ago than we care to admit. We reminisced for some time over the good old days and the church members who were prominent in those days in Bethany, The Beers, Jacksons, Price, Jake- mans etc, etc. On Saturday evening the Lindsay - Fenelon Falls Coop Coop employees held their annual annual Christmas bash at the Golf and Country Club with a full house attendance. Following Following a delicious ham and scalloped potato with all the accoutrements including liquid liquid refreshments, a somewhat somewhat short and portly Santa appeared to hand out made - to- measure novelty Christmas Christmas gifts to a selected few victims (employees of the Co-op). Santa's gift of oratory oratory and endless witticisms are not usually associated with the normal Ho-ho-ho gentleman gentleman you take the kids to see at the Shopping Centre. Any resemblance to a certain roly - poly manager at the Fenelon Fenelon Falls Co-op store of course were purely accidental. accidental.

Our gigantic maples wore a shroud of glistening zircons as the sun provided each witha gigantic gigantic halo reminiscent of a monstrous chandelier.
