September 14, 1982 by Harvey Malcolm Hi - hoe, hi - hoe, tis off to school they go and a deep gasp of relief reviverates out the land from parents as they watch their addled offsprings head back to school to improve their "eddication". Here at Malconia "the old order changeth" so to speak, as our youngest heads off to Waterloo University to hope- fully acquire some 'higher education" leaving Paw and Maw Kettle to their own devices for the first time for many years. Meanwhile, the "school-marms" and ."school-pops" view the latest edition anywhere between gentle optimism and deep despair depending Somewhat on how close they are to retirement. Several of our local residents have been gadding around both at home and abroad. Ted and Janet Spenceley have just returned home after spending an interesting fortnight in Ireland to commemorate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Returned home just in time too, to host the local Bethany Hunt last Sunday as well at their attractive farm. Ann and Murray Malcolm likewise have completed a 3 week trip to Edmonton, Alberta by car to visit their daughter, Darlene, and hubby and new grandchild, Lana returned home with them having spent the summer months in Edmonton, Alberta. Mrs. Mitzi Fick spent the week end with Mitzi's parents, Corrie and Harvey Malcolm and Mona while hubby Bob attended the .. International Bankers Con- vention currently being held in Toronto all this week. Mrs. Hazel Whittaker left Tuesday by car for her new apartment in Victoria, B.C. She will be staying with her grandaughter till her furniture arrives. A last farewell so to speak was held on Monday evening for close friends at Eileen Malcolms. Mr. Howard Malcolm has been "on the road again' all this week in conjunction with his responsibilities on the Pork Board and Pork Congress. Following a Toronto Board Meeting he flew to Ottawa and to Quebec where he attended meetings on the new hog grading system being proposed. Con- gratulations To the Mill- brook Corn Huskers on winning the North Durham Trophy two years in a row. They eliminated our Yelver- ton Bluebirds. Girls team in the finals in 3 straight games by scores of almost two to one in all three games. Although losing out in the finals, our local gals are to be commended for a good seasons effort - losing only 3 games, I believe, 2 oi them to Millbrook in regular play. Mona Malcolm hosted a gathering of around 30 of her Lindsay area friends on Fri- day evening - a sort of postscript to summer prior to many of them dispersing all over Ontario to various avenues of advanced education, employment or whatever. A sort of nostalgia night for many LE. Weldon Grade XIII students and their friends. Yelverton United Church service on Sunday was enhanced by the musical renditation of guest artists Mr. Norman Skitch of Lindsay on his violin accompanied by Mr. Jack Gordon of Janetville on the piano. Their medieys of old favourites, usualy reserved nowadays for background music at memorial services, was much enjcyed by those present. Next Sunday, the Sunday School commences its fall and winter -term under the guidance of Mrs. Hazel Gray, Superintendent. A large attendance would be appreciated by those in charge. Pleased to see all our "sick and maimed' folks out to the Kirk on Sunday - Doris Rowan, Thora Gray and Clare Robinson.
