A correction: I had a report in the March 12th edition of The Canadian Statesman that my sister, Gladys Short, had kept a diary for 50 some odd years, well it was from January 1st 1929 until now. Since then, I have received information from some other people with records. They are: Mrs. Verna Hooey 1929 until now, Harvey Malcolm 1934 until now and Aura Trewin 57 years. Thanks for die information. Harvey Malcolm wrote the news for Yelverton from September 1954 to December 1996. A record, I think Harvey. "Congratulations". Harvey and his wife Corrie, are living in Lindsay now. In reading my sister's 1929 book, it was mentioned about having ice cream the odd Sunday night. I can remember standing in the back kitchen turning the ten lb. pail inside a 4 gallon pail filled with ice and salt until we had ice cream. It was made of pure cream.
