We had read a book describing how five acres could provide inde- pendence and felt secure in our venture because we had a bon- us of three acres. We had vis- ions of raising all our own needed produce, a flock of chickens and a goat for our milk supply. What greenhorns we were! We barely knew the front end of a goat from its udder and little or nothing ab- out chickens. When the moth- er hen proved cannibalistic we discovered our first need of an understanding neighbor. He didn't smile and sneer down his nose "city slickers think they know it all". He just .put blinkers on the mother hen and removed the half dead chicks to the warmth of a hov- er in his own barn.

His 'fears were well ground- ed, old bricks from our stint at demolition had fallen down the chimney and lodged' in the flu. They had gradually slip- ped into a sooty mass prevent- ing coal gas fumes from escap- ing. It took him hours to clean out the debris, but only a few moments for me to be grateful for his watchful eye. We have lived side by side for more than 20 years. I've nursed my neighbors' children 'through all their childish ill- nesses and they in turn have comforted me through loss, sympathized with my failure at farming, shared' their rations and :helped with shortages of fuel ands posit war repair mater- ials, My neighbor has mended my pipes, shovelled my snow, scythed my hay and shingled my roof.
