Boy, did we get a shocker when we perused this week's edition of the Bowmanville Statesman and took note of the Dim and Distant past front page taken back in August 1969. There it was, an unreasonable apparition of your Yelverton correspondent correspondent taken with a colleague perched right on the front page. In case you're wondering, the one on the left was the four-legged one, the other a two-legged replica (Jackass that is). Which reminds us that in another another month (Sept. 4, 1954 was the actual date) we will have been providing providing news coverage for our Yelverton Yelverton community in our own erratic fashion since that date. In retrospect many changes have occurred in our community in the past 40 years.

Our ancient schoolhouse SS#1 was demolished and a new one built and with the advent of larger schools was sold and is serving as a residence residence currently.

Here, at Malconia we still reside on the farm home of the late Rae and Emma Malcolm. Malcolm. It's that time of year again. Half of our brief summer is already shot - a dismal thought indeed. Already the. evenings are beginning to show the onslaught of fall with their cool crispness. crispness. Our perimeter of com which has already surpassed the proverbial elephants' eye in height, is hemming us in on three sides. The shrill cicada emits its piercing call in the hopes of attracting a similar similar insect of the opposite species. The gardais have reached their peak in production, ours acprofusion of weeds as we failed to "Hoe-hoe-hoe" at an equal pace to their reproduction. The swimming pool has a come- hither look to the young and old - (mostly young), as they splash and dive and dive and splash with an amazing vitality.
