IDA MAY TAYLOR Mrs. Ida May Taylor of Blackstock died on Wed. February 17, 1971 at Oshawa General Hospital following surgery. The former Ida May Mal- colm was the daughter of David and Mary Ann Malcolm and was born January 16th, 1890 at the Malcolm home- stead at Nestleton. When her father retired to Lindsay in 1919 she accompanied him and resided there until her marriage to Herbert Taylor on December 11, 19267 They took up residence on his farm near Blackstock. On his death in 1955 she moved into Blackstock. Aunt Ida, as she was known by the whole community, had a real interest in music as witnessed by her skill on the piano. She was a member of Blackstock United Church and United Church Women. Surviving are her two young- er brothers Wilbert and Stanley. Mrs. Taylor rested at Mc- Dermott and Panabaker Fun- eral Home, Port Perry. The funeral service was conduct- ed by Rev. Victor Parsons in the chapel on Friday, Febru- ary 19, at 2 p.m. followed by interment in the Cartwright Union Cemetery. Pall bearers were Terry Malcolm, Gordon Malcolm, Glenn Malcolm, Gary Bristow, Lloyd Trewin and Donald Trewin.

While the folks on stage sobbed uncontrollably, those in the auditorium shook with laughter that was close to tears. Mother (Jean Kennedy) wear- ing frilled pantaloons prophe- tic of the pant suit a century later, now favoured the group with a sad rendering of "Elegie". Mrs. Kennedy, a gifted musician, gave us a gem of satire, her Victorian bosom heaving with the sad- ness of it all while her voice slipped and slid and fell flat. Another highlight followed./ 1446 many in the audience In order to raise everyone's spirits, sister Sue (Claudette Brock) organized one of those non-sequitur word games call- ed "Canoeing the Nonquon". And that's what the family did instead of watching T.V. a hundred years ago! It was obviously a lot of furl' At one point pant Ken Dowson got laughing so hard he looked like he would fall off his chair. Victorian evenings being long, occasionally some mem- ber of the group would have to "slip out back". This exigency was provided for by a little house conveniently lo- cated down in the itorium. The first to have fo slip out- side was the hired girl, play- ed by Allene Kane. Mrs. Kane brought to her part a zest which made her not only the strength of the family but of the entire show. A medley of songs by the stranded "Nips and Tuckers", including the solo 'Memories' sting by that excellent tenor, Fred Densham, was followed by some dancing. With that touch of frontier democracy, even the hired girl got in on the dancing. Grandfather, who still had an eye for the turn of an ankle, had to be held down in his chair while Grace Lave recited "Women Can Fool a Man" and later when the Ladies' Quartet (Joan Aldred, Rita Boneham, Margaret Gray and Florence Fralick) sang "Second Hand Rose". This group, which dressed & sang with style, were a great hit. Grandpa hugged them all. Now the children (Kathy Kane and David Redman) were brought down to be in- troduced. Young David was ordered to sing. Obedient & shy he complied with "Aint We Got Fun" which was warmly received. Great excitement was gen- erated among the ladies (and some concern among the men) when a travelling sales- man, played by the courtly Allan Bertrand joined the party and opened up his wares. Squeals of delight-- ladies' clothes! Grandma did- n't need her ear trumpet to enjoy this part of the snow She ended up by buying a feather boa. A great delight to every. one with a feeling for the past was the Magic Lantern show. The hired girl got out the screen and someone set up the lantern. One series of slides, "The Chimney Sweep and the Whitewasher", will probably be spotted by historians as the forerunner of the twentieth century + ¢omic strip. The other three with square dancing, Almer Rennie fiddling, Everett Prentice calling, and Geordie Beare at the piano. By now it was impossible to distin. « guish the audience from the east. No century gap' here. Directed by Eva Hunter at the piano, the show struck a responsive chord in the com- munity. Considering the fact that there was a Juvenile » hockey game in town that night, we can only conclude that there was no one home watching T.V. in Port Perry on the night of March 10th. sets were designed to accom- pany the songs "Off To Philadephia", "Eileen Alann- ah", and "Jerusalem". This was calendar art, full of un- natural poses and sweet sen- timentality. The soloists here were* Norman Waton, Fred Densham and Diane Lackie. Mrs. Lackie's "Jerusalem" wonder why we don't hear her richly texteured voice more often in Port Perry. The slides themselves are delightful museum pieces.
