Toronto vast land of concrete•.
and people. Seemingly loved.by;no

nearly 2;000,000 people -, some . •

carried my own prejudices with .•
'me when'I:.entered the city -.
prejudice ,gained' through long
years of conditioning in the tradit-
•ional• dislike ofcountry for' the`.
city. 'Indeed , 'I found many of
the things I. had 'been told about
l disliked: the crowds, the smog.,
and the: general lack of breathing
space.'and privacy.- Probably the'
worst thing, was the weather' since
it seemed to rain all the time'. • `.
But as I adjusted to these, con- ,
ditions,: l.began to notice.the,
better points of the city. 1
discovered ;that the•people weren't
really unfriendly in the city.,. .

waiting for a traffic light to • •
Change; There were • arks where I
could be near nature. And the„sun
even shone, sometimes.
And there were4so many things
to do and places to go.. Some of
them were expensive but it was
surprising how many were -free., if:
:youknew where to go.
• I discovered too, that Toronto
t Bally is the 'exciting vibrant' city
.all the -public relations people'
say.it is. If it used :tobe stodgy,
it isn't any more..
Much of the credit for this new
liveliness must go to the youth of

The
Wheelbarrow
BY BILL STANLEY
KINLQSS
Summer is over
.'And winter draws nigh
So I think of those chores'
At the :haul. a. sigh.
The ground, ts•'frozen
And "covered with snQw,,
So into the barn
The cattle' must, go ,
• •I round1themall up.
'And feed up each head, ,
By the time I et through '
I am; ready for bed
In the morning I awake
,With the frost on. my nose;
I crawl out of bed
And pull on :my cold .clothes,,,
•And then to the barn
I must go with all speed,,
For . there's stables to •clean .'
• And the cattle to• feed.
'So day after day
As the winter °goes by.
:that jitter I wheeled out
It is sure getting high .:.•
• Now to make_my work lighter;
With you 1'jl be' ;frank ,,. ,
The thing now to do
Is to wheel up an' a ,plank. :
!SO.intothe barn
For ashovel I go
To dig out. hat plank
From beneath the deep snow;.
Now 'my heart it .grew lighter:'..
'-As I watched. with' delight,
To.wheel up on that plank•
Was to:do, it just right.
Then• gaily I started
When :tripped ,on a lump
And into thatbarrow .:
I went full kerplump
. Arid .when 1 got, up.
I was at:Mad as a •hatter
For I` knew that •my face
It 'was literally .splattered.
'Now; something had
:To be done by gosh,:
So, away I goes•the•: trough:
For :a
The day it was cold;:
• Arid -there. blew a strong. breeze,
And before I got through
• I'thought' I' would freeze
But to•:fnish thy lob,
I must .hurry back; • •
So I dried myself. off
Onan old gunny .sack,
Thenonce more I~Started•'
'Saying That -was no=joke i"
When just at .that 'time
The. darn plank it .broke:,
Oh -the words that.l 'uttered
I will have to confess. '
They tare' not'to•be found •
In. any Readers Digest;. t
The sky it was clear
But the air then was •blue
• And T vowed en my ;knees,
That with farming ,I'm through,
But the .years have •gone by
And. •I 'look, back With a • smile;
The 'job I had to do
It was maybe worthwhile.
• ' Now inthe sun
And watch the bees andthe
sparrows,

That old Wheel Barrow..•.

a valuable contribution to torofl'
'to's becoming an entertainment
centre of North Ameiica .
Another example of city life.
that 'surprised me was people's ,.
work for the United: Appeal's fund`
raising drive to help the needy.
Thousands of high setiool and
public school stridents washed cars
Cleaned shoes, and went on mars
then walks and raised over
:$100,000. This is a fact about
city teenagers that isn't very,well
known. •
They used'to call this city
"Toronto the good" With a sneer.
I call it Toronto the good with

The closing of schools, is ,not a.
new issue, in this comm..unity. In o
scann}ng the 30 year ago issues.pf
The Sentinel., the following arti-
cle was noticed, and' in view of •
the recent decisions ,on• school'
matters,. it ,appears quite timely,
..:-,Thirty years ago, four pupils
;'were attending Grey Qx school 'at
concession 4, Kinloss. They were
Jean MacKinnon;,:Donald Macln
tyre; ,.Margaret and Graham Mac
Donald., The teacher was Miss,
Mary' MacKinnon.
The Department of Education •
had suggested that the school, be -
.cause of .its 'low enrolment,. should
be closed. but the ratepayers of
the section were determined to
keep it open
'A ratepayers meeting with•
inspector: George :C.; Dobson
brought out the ire in the section,.
Total cost•of operating the :school
the:previ'ous year had .been less.
than $800., The ratepayers app- •
roached C.A. • Robertson, MLA for
Huron -Bruce and explained that
the four children would' have to
attend the 6th school if Grey `Ox '
was closed., ';and in one case it
would be over'4' 1/2 miles on some
of the worst winter roads in. they
country: •
Trustees'at the' time:.were Albert
and Edward Little acid Angus Gr ah -
arn Robert.Moffat was secretary.-
treasurer..''
Thirty years can make a big
differencein the thinking of a,
community.. We' all know what
happened: eventually: to Grey 'Ox
and `.all theother.smail'rural sch-
ools in the area. Who knows what
the next thirty years.'will bring!
