prams Page 6 The Haileyburian Thursday, June 1, 1961 Across the Kitchen Table BY MRS. MAC This past week-end has been a most enjoyable one for me. My daughter, Audrey Stewart of En- glehart, and I set out with little Susie Volkswagen (filled with gas and oil and tires well checked) for Carleton Place, 395 miles away, down in the Ottawa Valley, to see my aunt who has been in a nursing home there during the winter. Everything was going merry as a marriage ball. I was driving along at 55 when, glancing down, I dis- covered that according to my speedometer I was standing still. This was, to say the least, rather disconcerting. This happened about ten miles south of Cobalt and al- though we stopped at garage after garage none of them had a cable for a Volkswagen speedometer until we reached Pembroke. We must have been good judges of speed or else there were no cops around because we weren't stop- ped and asked if we knew how fast we were driving. Then going up a little incline about seven miles south of Renfrew, little Susie gave a few sputters and stopped! I managed to get her off to the side of the highway and flagged the first north bound car to ask them to have some gas sent out. In about fifteen minutes an angel wearing mechanic's coveralls ar- rived but when he went to fill the gas tank, he said, "you've got LOTS of gas". However, he looked in the back of the car and found that the fuel pump wasn't work- ing. So we were ignominously towed back to his service station which by the way, was named "Thompson's Service and AUTO WRECKERS, where we found that we had to have a new pump! About an hour later we were on our way and had no more trouble. And here's a plug for my little Volks- wagen! I travelled almost nine hundred miles, paid $10.05 for.gas and have enough left to take me to work all this week. Who wants a big car, seven axehandles wide and twice that long? Not Me! I had a cousin who married an Trishman named Dan O'Connell and their home was one that was always filled with music, humour and a welcome from the heart for all their friends. They have both passed on, but their family carry on that same tradition, as we found when we visited two of them in their homes near Carleton Place. When you step inside the door you are greeted with a warmth that makes you one of the family and no one but a confirmed old sour- puss could ever keep from laugh- ing for five minutes, in either of those homes, for the Irish sense of humour has been passed on, even to the third generation. There was no lack of excitement while we were there. A sick cow was be- ing doctored, a new foal arrived (and was named Shawn) and the cat performed his daily stunt of climbing to the transom over the door, yowling to be let in. And the apple trees in bloom were simply gorgeous. I got two color shots of them and can hardly wait to get them developed. We also called on three nieces of Mrs. Cameron's where we were royally welcomed, given a delicious tea and when we were leaving, enough lily bulbs and plant roots to: almost fill the back of the car. On the way home we called on another cousin in Armprior, and then con- tinued on our way to tell the ones at home of all the fun we had had. Golf Tests for Walker Trophy This coming Saturday, June 3, will see play commence for the Hiram Walker Trophy. This will be a mixed two-ball foursome event, nine holes, and handicaps will be used to determine winners. There will be a small entry fee of 25 cents per person and prizes for men and women's low net and gross. This event proved very popular last season with close to fifty golfers taking part. Although the weather to date has been far from conducive to good golf the course is reported to be in excellent shape, particularly for this time of year. All members are urged to make this opening day a success once more and are asked to team up with their wife, husband or friend and take part.

THE SHOPPE Choose 'Ash Wene As Camp Name Camp Ash Wene has been chosen as the name of the Guide Camp purchased jointly last year by the Cobalt and New Liskeard Local Associations for Guides and Brownies. The name was chosen recently_.at a meeting of the Camp Committee, held at the campsite. The name was thought most ap- propriate since the words Ash Wene are the two Indian Words that are the closest interpretation of Be Prepared, the Guide motto. Guides and leaders from New Liskeard and Cobalt have already enjoyed short week-end camps at Camp Ash Wene, but the first summer camps will be held in July and August this year. It is expected that three separate camps will be held, and that all Guides in Cobalt and New Lis- keard will have the opportunity of going to camp if they want to go. The two New Liskeard Brownie Packs and the First Guide Com- pany will go to Camp Ash Wene this coming Saturday for their an- nual picnic. Mrs. J. Giovanelli of Cobalt and Mrs. W. Ross of New Liskeard plan to take work parties of. Guides to the Camp on the week-end of June Sth to prepare for summer camping. In contrast to the bright outlook for camping for Guides this year, the Local Association in New Lis- keard has encountered a serious leadership problem for next fall. A number of leaders have indi- cated that they will not be able to continue and if replacements are not found, the Second Brownie Pack and the First Guide Com- pany may be without leaders in September. Anyone interested in Play Ball Fastball will start with a bang in New Liskeard on Thursday evening when Camp- salls take a cut at their areh rivals of other years, the fast moving Joe Dash. Campsalls team manager Alex Mackey said that tie opening game of the season will have all the trimmings,-- first ball will be thrown by Mayor Lowrey Taylor, and he even admitted that there is a better than even chance that the Legion Pipe Band will lead a parade of the teams to give sparkle and color to the open- ing.
