Huron Park have had minor
accidents such as slipping into the
• ditch when their car had to be
-abandoned. Fortunately there
were no' casualties.
' Many experiences of bygone
days have. been recalled. How
many remember -the horse and
cutter days and the pitch heles on
the North „road?
Bessie. our family horse would
always take them at an angle. On -
one occasion justas we turned off
the 2nd concession cornerto come
to town Bessie was up to her old
. tricks. As a result-the cutter upSet
and my' sister and: I rolled out
from our little seat in front of the
cutter.
Mother used to bundle us in a
warm blanket ,fastened . with a
huge safety For an instant we'
were lost in a snowdrift but were
soon recovered.
Many will remember the days
when the first snow of any depth
came the car was stored away and
put up on blocks also the battery
was-stored in the cellar. When the
street's were ploughed , we kept
the cars running.
I would like to pay:tribute to the'
men in the pas t and present who
have always made a good job of
the roads . In all my winter
driving. I have never once been
stuck on an;roadsen town. I can't
say as much for my driveway.
- I can' recall two dates which
remain indelible in' my memory.
One was 1916 when no train came
into Seaforth for a week. This side
Of Dublin the drifts were 22 ft.
deep. The passengers had to stay
in Dublin all that erne.

repeat it.
Last night 1 also learned a lesson in
etiquette. Licking one's fingers after eating
fried, chicken is permissible.
The take-out restaurants 'go to a lot of
trouble. Their kitchens look spotless; their
food tastes scrumpdilicious, and their
waitresses always smile. And they do it all
for me.
People just-• like me are finding their
pictures on cereal boxes, and old-fashioned
goodness is coming back into our
breakfasts. For 'dinner, meanwhile, some
cake mixes are so moist, I'll be tempted to
eat them before they're frosted'.
When I dine out, a credit card will pay
for my meal, It will also fly me to Sari
Francisco,-furnish my house with antiques
or fill my closet with clothes. The credit
card is welcome across Canada and around
the world.
Speaking of Canada, this is a beautiful
country inhabited by beautiful people. To
enjoy this great land to the utmost, I should
drink beer. That's what the` beautiful e • people do.

Education on TV?
' During two hours of watching TV last
night, 1 learned a lot.
I can now answer the nagging question
".What is the largest selling toilet bowl
clearierein Canada?" If twant to be called a
"soft touch," I know which fabric softener
to use. In addition, I discovered watches
can withstand more punishment than most
people put theirs Through in a lifetime.
The next time I suffer from a miserable
cold I'll know where to find a little warmth
for it: A couple of small tablets will relieve
my congestion, my. runny nose, my, sniffles
and sneezes as well as all my aches and
pains.
Over the years, the prochects in the
medicine chest have come grid gone, but
only one name has remained.
Do you know what the lumberjacks in the
towering camps of British Columbia hate
in common -with the sailors on the Great
Lakes? They take the same thing for the
relief of a headache.
` Meanwhile. zoo tourguides, pee wee
hockey coachs, eateM leaders and theatre
managers use a remedy that isn't, even
recommended for kids;
The friendly proprietor of a small town
general store is an expert in fighting the
decay in children's teeth. For adults, the
taste of a mouth wash should be strong like
a game of handball.
On the subject of fdod, the kids can't be
fopled. The,;. know-the kind of ketchup they
want. It's s o good. A boy genius can

another with only one bite.
