Returns After 45 Years WALTER SHARP "Some day I'll be back." 46 years later he kept his promise. Valentia, Ontario. -- Walter Sharp had only 60 cents in his pocket when as an immigrant boy from the east of London, he arrived in Canada nearly 47 years ago. Walter, then barely 19 years was on his way to a farm apprentice job with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph R. Pogue, -at Valentia, just 14 miles south-west of Lindsay. He stayed on the farm only 18 months before heading west to a harvesting job in Saskatchewan. But before he left he promised Mrs. Pogue "My Canadian Mother" he calls her-- that some day he'd be back. Walter kept that promise the other day when he arrived in Lindsay and phoned the Pogue residence from Mike Stephen's barbershop. * A few hours later they arrived for him and he was on his way once more to his first Can- adian home, The drive to the Pogue er residence in Valentia brought back many fond memories for Walter, but the 46 years that have elapsed since his ride along the road had he found, brought some remarkable chapges. For a. start his trip Monday was in a modern automobile instead of the horse and buggy that collected him in 1912, the wheels churned over imma- culately paved highway rather than a dusty road, the entire landscape geem- ed to have been transformed. These were minor considerations, however, to Walter, now 66 and retir- ed from the fur trade, as he fondly re- called his associations with the Pogue family and the excellent start they gave him in his adopted land. "I figure this family made me" 'he said' many times after I left them I went down on ny luck but I wanted so much to show them I could be a success that I always managed to pull through. In the years since he has been in the Lindsay area Walter has been a lum- ber jack, 'a carpenter, and a home- steader, and rounded off his career as a dealer in raw furs, His homesteading days are his most memorable--Iliving in a shack with out heating or lighting and on a diet of rabbit and an overall food budget of ten cents a day. In Winnipeg he married Emily Mor- rison, whose father was a former Ed- inburgh University science professor. Mrs. Sharp*died two years ago. Their one daughter who is 38, has three children and lives in Winnipeg. His fond memories of the Pogue family caused the late Mrs. Sharp to comment once to Walter, "You know, I hear more about them than I ever hear about your own family in Eng- land. On Monday's culmination of a steady 45 years correspondence with the Pogues, Walter said, yop know, I think this is going to be one of the happiest days of my life. Mr, Sharp has left for his home in Winnipeg after spending the past week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pogue, also with their son Russell and family, on Scugog Island, and Clare, of Toronto. Encouraging Turnout at Minor Hockey Meefing At a meeting held in thé Memorial Gardens on Tuesday night by the Minor Hockey Club a number of the fathers turned out to offer their ser- vices to the Club which has been fail- ing in help both physical and fipan- cial, This turnout of fathers was very encourageing to the faithful few who have been carrying on for a number of years. This turnout, even though encourageing is not nearly enough help. The Club needs many more parents and anyone else who is inter- ested in hockey to come out and offer their help, so that every child will, receive the same time and effort of help in learning how to play hockey. Next Tuesday night, October 14, there will be another meeting held at the Arena at 8.00 p.m., so lets all get down there and offer our help and new suggestions to this worth while (and necessary) Club. Ways and means of raising money to finance this Club must be found as it takes a considerable large sum to purchase ice time for these young- sters which number close to the 200 mark. These ways and means can only be found by you parents and hockey fans, coming out to these meetings and offering your suggestions. Remember parents that these youngsters are the future citizens of Port Perry and district, their future is your responsibility, and there is no better way to build good upstand- ing citizens than through SPORTS. Remember there is another meet- ing next Tuesday night at the Arena, so lets all of us get down there and give them all the help we can, as there is not much time left before the hockey season will be starting. 'With enough help and financial aid we can make sure if will start in Port Perry on schedule. Anyone wishing to contribute to the Minor Hockey Club may do so by sending there donations to the Sec- retary (Bill Harriso) or leave them with him at the Port Perry Star. ...

Hilltop Herald It might have looked as though Hallowe'en had come early this year on Friday, Sept. 26. Actually it was just "Initiation Day" for the "Grade Niners". It was rather amusing try- ing to figure out just who these "7?" were. But at night they shed their mas- 'querades and attended the opening dance of the year which was spon- sored especially for the First Form pupils. Some of the prize winners were Jean Bright and Rodney Painter in a spot dance, Diane MeNeil and Larry Lee in a broom dance, and Bev. Sweetman and Alan Francis 'in an elimination dance. This dance was very well attended and we hope to continue to have enjoyable parties. such Last Thursday, Oct. 2, four schools (Brock, Sutton, Uxbridge and Port Perry) gathered at Broek High School.
