Mrs. Hodgson is most remarkable for her age and is an avid fan of baseball, rugby and hockey. One 01 her prized possessions is her radio and she sits by the hour listining to these game broadcasts. Although failing in sight and hearing she gets around remarkably well with aid of her cane. We all join in wishing Mrs. Hodgson many mare happy and healthy years. Mr. and Mrs. Don Butler who have lived on the South Road for this past four years. have sold their home and will be leaving this district very soon to take up residence near Bronte. Friends and neighbours of Don and Aud- rey will surely’ miss them and There is no doubting the fact that the fall seasor is upon us. the hint of frost is in the air, school in full swing and the exhibition all packed up for an- other year. There‘s one high- light of the fall season that ap- peals to many in rural areas and that-is the old fashioned farm auction sale, In the back section of your news paper there are many of these sales listed and they offer a wide variety of artâ€" icles. To most of us an auction sale doesn’t seem to offer much excitement and entertainment. but there are those who will drive for miles to attend and join in the mob that crowds around the auctioneer. Every auctioneer I have ever heard has been endowed with a real sense of humor that adds to the friendly neighbourly at- mosphere. The old timer who is standing beside you quite unnot- iced in the crowd doesn‘t care if he knows you or not, he has a friendly word and a hearty laugh as he talks to you of things that interest him most. If you do decide to go to one of these country auctions soon. you will without a doubt be looking forâ€" ward to the, next one.
