The first crossâ€"town bus in Kitk chener was started by J. A. Thompson in January of 1932. At that time I was living on Park Street near Union, where In 1963 Lloyd and I teamed up to win the doubles championâ€" ship. ._ Now that the lawn bowling is over, the afternoons always seem to be very long (we used to start bowling at 2 p.m.). Now, after lunch I sit in my room and cogitate for a few hours. Tuesâ€" day I went back about 12 years to when I first started lawn bowling and thought about some of the oldâ€"timers who are still with us. In 1932 the Lloyd Moser rink defeated a team led by Edward Engel for the club championship. Lloyd‘s rink did not suffer a Boss during the whole season and winning the finals gave them a perfect record. The team was composed of Charles Tweed, R. S Bean. Dr. J. E. Johnson and Iioyd Moser.

Brandy was also added to the mincemeat. Oysters formed an important part of the dressing for the fowl. Then there was pfefferâ€"nichen which was a dark brown cookie well seasoned. Also, simz waffâ€" len, springalen, shavings, and good old coffee cake. In our house at least, stollen was a must. It was made into a loaf with raisins, currents, citâ€" ron peel plus other ingredients and was dark brown in color and not too sweet. At night, after the dishes were done. mother and us kids would sit around the table and string popcorn and make different kinds of decorations out of colored tisâ€" sue paper for the tree. During the day mother was kept busy baking, how we loved to watch. I will try to name some of the delicasies: I would like to go back, say about 75 years, when we celeâ€" brated Christmas on Christmas Day. In those days preparations were made well ahead of time. Ho, ho, ho! Christmas comes and Christmas goes. The dog sWam the Detroit River to get home. She was seen in midâ€"stream and landed safely on the Canadian side about one hour later. At that time the working man put in a full six days a week so it seemed that they were not to have any pleasure on their only day off. One person suggested that a complaint should be lodgâ€" ed against the ministers because they worked every Sunday to beat the devil. In August of 1932, a female dog named Trixie who lived with her owner in Windsor, followed her mistress on a ferry boat bound for Detroit. The dog beâ€" came lost in the traffic and was not seen by her owner until she showed up\the following day at home. \ Alliance filed a complaint against the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo â€" airport commission for allowing pilots to take up passengers on pleasure flights during a Sunday. Those persons who have a grudge against animals and have ridiculed me about my pets needn‘t read any further. Holy Saviour Church Allen St. East, Waterloo RUMMAGE SALE FRIDAY : DEC. 1 6 â€" 8 p.m. A few Sundays before Christâ€" mas a Sunday school teacher asked the boys in her class: "Where do the little boys go who fish on Sunday?" One little chap got up and said: "Over to the deep hole on Perkin‘s farm." Al the chunrches held COhrist mas _ entertainment _ Christmas night. Of course, mother and father would come running out of their room just as surprised as we were. For many years w n our children were small my wife and I would carry on the same. we would jump and flipâ€"flop down the stairs we would go and there, behold. the tree would be all trimmed and the candles burning bright and the tree shrâ€" rounded by presents. I can recall how we excited kiddies would be put to bed real early because we knew â€" that around 7 o‘clock Santa would be coming. The tree was never put up unâ€" til Christmas Eve, when the trimâ€" mings were laig out and a large soup plate placed under the tree for each of us, which Santa would fill with candy, a popcorn ball, an orange and a variety of nuts. In those days an orange was a real treat. Sure enough, at 7 the front door would slam shut with a bang and wake us all up. Out of bed as we were told Santa did not like children who quarrelled or fought with each other. A place on the table was set for Santa so he could enjoy a cup of warm coffee and some bunch.
