Forder a very happy birthday on Wed. Feb. 9 when he will be the fine age of 90. Mr. Forder is in fine health, goes for a brisk walk every day and keeps a busy schedule of events. In the summer he con- tinues to keep his garden in great con- dition.

Mrs. Jean Mahaffy is in Bowmanville Hospital after gall bladder re- moval last week.

Often when corres- pondents busily write these regular columns they don't realize how widely read their columns really are. This fact was pointed out once again to me with the receipt this week of a very interesting letter from Mrs. Charles Plum of Edmonton requesting a History of Cartwright book. Mrs. Plum was the former Alberta Riches who lived as a teenager in the house now ownéd by Mrs. Belle Werry. Mrs. Plum's father, Edward Riches was the car- penter that built the Town Hall, the Armories (now the Rec- reation Centre) and several houses which Mrs. Plum lists in her letter. She worked in The Standard Bank and its sub-branch in Nestle- ton. Mrs. Plum reads of the doings in the Black- stock column each week. I also recently received a telephone call from Ferga Avery of Tillbury who sends her greeting to her many friends in this area. She wished a history book too. So when you forget to let me know your news items just think of your friends and relatives in faraway places that rely on this column to find out if you are still alive and well. Speaking of columns - Jenny Gainey - those cookies from your recipe in last weeks paper were just super. Thanks to a very sweet young lady for a great recipe.
