JuLY 30, 1975 TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE I3 - and her mother Mrs. Schreiber Town Topics = continued Samaritan - Ian Macadam, now of Barrie, and Schreiber friend of Danny's came to offer his truck for the Riley's return home. Darren will fly home with his grandmother Mrs. George Riley Jr. who with her daughter Shannon Geraldine Sutherland have been holidaying in the east. OLD CHEQUE Inez McCuaig was delighted to have the family of the late Bill Alcorn, going through old papers of their father, restore to her a cheque she'd issued, in 1967, for $2.25 for an over-charge to their father. Mr. Alcorn had asked that this uncashed cheque be returned to Mrs. McCuaig who be- lieves it a typical gesture of Bill's and other customers, then, with whom she did bus- iness for the paper. Often, having close to one hundred dollars taken out of her own account, to cover such orders as - Inez, from phone call, or, casual meeting on the street - Renew my paper will you? I'll be over to pay you. Or - Inez - put in a thank you card will you? You know what to say. In fact, for many years, she made more for the paper in Ads, thank you's and renew- als than the Paper paid her for news. And, this cheque, is a typical example of mutual trust - it was for a picture of 'Old Bill Alcorn' and a might 'fish he'd caught in Walker Lake, of which she got an excellent picture. And when she "took' it, Bill said, "Here's $5.00 Inez - get me ten copies, for the kids - if they put it in the paper". Which they did. And, so, she was returning the balance to him.
