Joyful hope for life with artificial legs and more
A patchwork of notes from across Canada recalls feats and quirks from Ontario to British Columbia. John Doig of Listowel, 75, looks forward to walking with artificial legs again after losing both legs five years ago, while a Val d Or bylaw bans shorts for women. Other items include George Stasciuk swimming Lake Manitou, Sapper Nick Delmer returning from war with a plaster cast, a Hamilton visitor wrestling an 18 pound pike, a Mount Forest bylaw against morning boosters, two service men with English wives having beauty-contest babies, a Cedar Brae shopkeeper’s oversized hollyhocks, and a whistling chicken house in Sussex. A fund supports 9-year-old Betty Halloran’s hospitalization and education, and work begins to settle 100,000 acres for veterans and civilians in western Canada with grants for service men. A 96-year-old Forest resident David Courtis dies. W. L. Sliter resigns as tax collector after 32 years. The piece ends with notes on mound burial finds in Morden and fisheries earnings in the Maritimes.
