A. NAPIER, Prop. E00 00 0000009092 920000009000 SHOBOBOBBOBOBIDOBIBOBOB ABBR AAD a ------ 'The Gypsies are Coming "History repeats itself" is an old "adage that we are fond of repeating and after a visit to the Ex. this year we added a codicil "and keeps on re- peating itself," . : ph LE J LJ Did you know that-thé Town Crier is back on his job again? The news 'ployed for some years and he may have been kept alive on the dole but he is back on' velvet now and the joke 4 is, it is the newspapers who had. to = | look hil up and bring him back again. Of course. he does not walk the streets with his lantern and call 'the hours and tell the news brought from France by canal barge, horse-back and sail boat at desperate speed, no, he sits in a little room and tells 'it into the "mike", "Good Chewsday evening 'everybuddy and the time just 49 min- utes past 6 o'clock E.S.T." You may call him an "announcer" if you wish to be up-todate but after all he is only the modern version. of our old friend the Town Crier. . * LJ * And did you know that Mr. Weller and his coach are back again? His four horses have not returned--not yet--and the coach Shows that pro- fane hands have been laid on itd sacred body, something called a motor has been hidden inside and the wheels are smaller and seem a bit puffed up put portly Mr. Weller Sr, proudly mounts the driver's seat as.of old and at a blast from his horn Mr, Pickwick and his friends emerge from the tap room of the White Horse Inn, take their places and Weller Jr. (the ubiquitous Sam.) stows their bags away in the "boot" and away | they go to the fields of Kent just as "Boz" sketched them seventy-five year ago, stopping at the same old wayside inns for refreshments. And next the Gypsy Caravans are coming back." After reading the fore- cast by Roger Babson, the man who foretold the depression deluge--which prophécy got the same réception that old man Noah's weather forecast re- ceived--(1 am telling you what his- tory does) that very soon 60,000,000 Americans will spend the summer sea- son on wheels, I looked up the trailers at the Ex. One can purchase a nifty little caravan for $650 or you can get one at $17,600, a house-boat on wheels instead of water, but one look was ali I could afford; and anyway you could not be a real Gypsy in a portable palace, 'but' those models costing around $1200 do make you envious. One feature which appealed to me was the door in the side. This is an inno- vation from England I think, you know the English are not so dumb as some Canadians think they are--till they get in a deal with one of them-- and this is real brainy as it eliminates the "hall" which in the rear door style runs the length of the caravan and is so much waste space. The side door opens right into the middle of the "house", and thus utilizes the waste space, mostly for kitchen, bath, bed- room and sink. Yes, history is re- peating itself and next summer we propose to get us a caravan and wander carefree along the country- side, its the Gypsy in us that makes us feel that way. --H. G. Holeo SONYA ¢- A well attended and impressive ser- vice was held in St. Andrew's Church on Sunday afternoon in memory of the pioneers of this district, who started public worship here a hundred years ago. - Rev.
