"Roll Call" - What were you doing on May 8, 50 years ago? This proved inter- esting for those who could re- member, and some had to tell what their parents had told them.

Mourning loss of our 'silent The great news this week is the gigantic yard sale this com- ing Saturday by the Lake Scu- gog Regatta Association, rain or shine.

Our Sad Loss This week we were very sad here in the village to see that Caesarea Albert dV) 123Y) our silent servant moved. I think of the time an accident occurred and he was there to help. I think of the time strangers drove into town in the wee hours of the morning and they saw flames and smoke coming from a building and the silent ser- vant was there to help. I think of the time a teenage girl met a chap and after the dance was offered a ride home and at the last minute another lad jumped into the car. She be- came aware of what was going to happen when they started talking of going to a wooded area before going home. As the car stopped at a stop sign she jumped out and ran to the silent servant for help. Then there was the time when people who travelled a very long distance on a Friday, arrived in our village around midnight and the cottager they servant' were to visit had not arrived. The silent servant was there to help. This week we lost our only tel- ephone booth in our village. What was the reason or cause? Was it abuse? Was it noisy with cars tearing up at high speeds and then jamming on their brakes in the wee hours of the morning? The telephone company re- quires a $6,000 return on each booth to make it worth their while havingit there. We will admit, by payin around $10 to $12 a month an purchasing a car phone, you have that silent servant with Turnto Page 34
