THIS and THAT by Sobien Twackle 'As 'we can be sure that we will receive a tax bill in due veason and as we can be cer- tain that the most fiendish wea- ther will, without a doubt, occur in February of each year, so I was certain<hat if I waited long enough, I would hear again from my erstwhile friend, Percival Thistlewort. Sure enough, the other even- ing, whilst reclining in the gar- den and doing some heavy thinking as to whether I should cut the grass, around the corner, who should appear, but Percival. Sunburned -- a little thinner -- perhaps a little greyer but still the same old Percival. It appears he had just re- turned from his holiday. He was a little scornful of the fact that he had picked what trans- pired to be the most inclement two weeks of the summer but undaunted, Percival had used a sunray lamp to good advantage, hence his tan and had widened hid® geographical horizons by quite an amount of travel. Percival enthused' and was full of wonder about the amen- ities in Algonquin Park. The camping sites--the picnic areas --the nature trails which were packed with interest for Perc- ival, being a lover of the great outdoors. Percival went on to recall the Logging Camp mus- eum, where, in a fleeting mom- ent he was transported back a hundred years. And Percival went on to tell me the thrill he had in spot- ting a grey wolf south of Whit- ney, to the east of the Park and back in the Park one night at dusk, how awed he was at the sight of eleven black bears rum- aging in the garbage dump at Peel's Construction Camp. Per- cival, too, tells me that he will not forget the thrill of feeding four gentle deer just off the main highway. Percival figures that if all the neon signs and overhead wires were removed from Bancroft, this town could well be a wild and wooly west town of the roaring eighties. It was here that Percival received an undertone blast, something about * tourists", when he tried to tell a restaurant owner that tea should be made wih boiling water and this was after Perc- ival had mentioned that soup was supposed to be heated be- fore serving. 1 Percival is pretty fussy but I can well appreciate that he did not improve the tourist rela- tionship when he moaned about total lack of service and a dirty table in a restaurant in the vil- lage of Haliburton. On the credit side, however, Percival tells me there is a res- taurant at the Spring Lake Motel, just east of Dwight, where all is perfection Sur- rounded with flowers, the res- realise that] taurant is spotless--the service is excellent and Percival tells me that he was made to feel as if the sole purpose of the res- taurant's existance was to be of service to him. Percival assures me that the full and beautiful meal was $2.00, the like of which in Toronto would have been $4. to $5.00. Buttermilk Falls impressed Percival but if anything, Perc- ival tells me that he was more impressed with the Ragged Falls on the Oxtongue River. These are located a rough half mile trail from Hwy. 60, not far from the eastern end of Ox- tongue Lake. Once Percivel gets going, there is no stopping him. I cannot repeat Percival's remarks about the many many gift stores sel- ling Indian and Canadian souv- enirs but to Percival"s horror-- made in Japan. But I can remark how, when in Santa Claus Vii- lage in Bracebridge. Percival watched, for some long time, with great interest, a young ar- tisan blowing and creating the most beautiful glass ware. Rein- PORT PERRY STAR, Thursday, Sept. 30, 1965 -- 7 Local Handicraft Guild Plans Fall The September meeting was held at the home of the Presi- dent, Mrs. Louise Patterson with a splendid attendance. The meeting was called to order by repeating the Lord's Prayer in unison. A warm welcome was extended to all Ladies present. The minutes of the June meet- ing were read by Sec'y Mrs. Al- lan Martyn and approved, and Treasurer Miss Audrey Kent presented the financial state- ment, << < ival tells me, however, that he could not gather enough cour- age to climb the Fire Tower at Dorset but was content with the fabulous view from the rock outcrop at the base of the tower. In all, Percival tells me that he really did enjoy his holiday. He would like to go again next A H ego ctivities During the business, a leng- thy discussion was held regard- ing an advanced course in rug- hooking. Emphasis would be placed on designing, colour, ap- plication of material to canvas, dyeing of materials, etc. More information at the next meet- ing. Members also brought up the question of a Rug Exhibi- tion this Fall -- final decision will be made at a later date. The members of the Handi- craft Guild are to be congratu- lated on the fine display, shown at the local Fair. The attrac- tive booth with many beautiful articles, the skills of some of talented members, was well worth seeing, After the meeting closed many handicrafts were display- ed for members to see -- some in the process of being made, -deers--swans--and the most in- tricate glass formations were created while Percival watched and what Percival liked as much was the fact that the finished items were reasonable in price (Percival always watches the dollar). My friend tells me that he braved the Ski Lift at Hidden Valley, near Huntsville and thought the magnificent view at the top was well worth the perilous (to him) ride.
