'"Are ye frizr. She repliettz. "Yes T. is. But this isn't cold in quebec:" About .a month ago, pictures of the high drifts xI 'Bruce County appeared in the London ''.ree Press, There was one aerial view said to be of Hayfield showing snowdrifts—soma of them up to 30 feet high—that have been making travel all but impossible ..fer a number of communities in the northern section of "Western Ontario. Lucy .asked .several people where the spot was located ill .Bayfield„ Na. one seemed to know. At the time Lucy said. tp herself;, ""Maybe it Is Bayfield 'sowia. near Point ou Berl" in the parry Sound Pistriet.". Or perhaps one of the !SPOtS in Bruce County which was accidentally labelled "Barfield". (Those gremlins can bring out .almost unbelievable things in print.) However, the matter was not to end there, .Someone from this district must be on the staff of The Lethbridge Herald. The picture .appeared in it, since when Misses A, M. and E. J. Stirling and Mrs. Robert Seotehmer have received clippings from relatives concerned about our isolated posi- tion as it is marker} "No Exit", Perhaps Lucy Shopld, "touch wood", but so far this winter, Bayrfield has suffered more from slippery walks than snow. It has blown up and over us for the most part. Asked if she had ever heard of 30 foot drifts here, Mrs. R. Scotchmer replied: "No. Once I remember .down the hill on ltine Bronson Line at the 16th bridge the snow was up to the telephone wires but that wouldn't be 30 feet,". And Lucy began thinking of her young days and how she used to go snow-shoeing on the , drifts up over the fences. The highest drift in the village then was by Mrs. Hew- son's big white gate, opened for the winter (long since taken off at Mrs. J, E. Howard's property). Perlhaps it was about ten feet high. Then there were high drifts down the lakeshore road from fence to fence. (William H. Woods, T. H, Elliott and Henry Ga1pin opened the fences when necessary and drove through the fields.) -A bad spot on the Sauble Line was known as Porter's (now Mrs. S. Hohner's, Blue Water Highway) gave a good deal. of trouble in the winter with drifts. The combination of an orchard, fence and creek caused a series of drifts across the road. Once Lucy recalls exercising her father's horse, She had intended to go around the block. But as she approached this spot, she saw another horse and cutter coming from the south (sometimes hidden between the drifts). There was no place to .pass. Lucy looked at the side of the road. It was all level with snow and she thought she recalled that there wasn't much ditch there. She tried to turn. Old faithful Jack known locally as "The Doctor's Black" went down in it. And what is more be just sat there and wouldn't move. Lucy's grandmother who accompanied her wanted to get out but was persuaded to stay in the cutter. The driver of the other cutter bobbing over the snow banks was George Blair. He very kindly came to Lucy's aid. He tramped a solid spot for Jack's front feet. The old horse gat up and floundered out of the snow guided by George as he helped turn the cutter. Then he gave a kick and a squeal in derision of lady drivers and took us home in a burry. (It was the other horse which was the incentive to a fast gait, although Jack was always willing to turn going away from home) Perhaps that was the winter that Chris Hess, rural mail courier for RR 2, walked around his route and carried letters to patrons because they hadn't haid mail for a week. And some were annoyed because he didn't carry news- papers, too, on the 20 mile hike where a horse and cutter could not get through. There were the bad :spots on the road to Brucefield which hampered the progress of the mail carriers. \ Lucy recalls riding out to Brucefield station one wintry morning when Abe Brandon drove a team of horses. The snow had been dug out from Thompson's corner to Brucefield. It was piled so high on either side that it was like going throUgh a tunnel. Then a few years later when there wasn't too much snow, Brandons were trying -to do with the old open Ford touring car! It was a bitterly cold day. Lucy and Gladys Davison were passengers just after New Years. Harold Brandon was driving and his brother Abe went along for "ballast". The wind blew right through their heads, it seemed, so Lucy and Gladys went into McAsh's store to get warm while the mail was being closed. Harold drove around frozen drifts and over them. Abe rode on the running bOard and leaned as far out as possible on the upside or jumped off and pushed and some- - times it seemed almost held that car upright on the perilous trip. But they made it by train time! D. H. McNaughton and William Hall got off the even- ing train at Brucefield as well as Lucy. Now that posed a problem for the Brandon brothers with all the mail from two trains for Varna and Hayfield. However, they were all stowed in and the back seat was the luxury spot for a robe went with it. Just before reaching the second concession corner, clouds of steam arose from the radiator. It was frozen! So the warm robe was taken off the passenger's knees and put over the radiator. In due time it thawed out while the passengers wondered if they were freezing. Truly that was a cold snap just such as we are ex- periencing this winter. Probably such weatther inspired Rudyard Kipling to write "Our Lady -of the Snows". Fred P. Arlrel entered Clin-ton Hospital on Wednesday of last week for treatment, Mrs. Beverly McClinchey came home -on. Monday from Clinton Hospital, to recuperate .following recent surgery, Nancy Barwick, London, joins ea her grandparents, Rev, and Mrs, H. G. B. Crosby at the home of Mrs, J. H.

Welcome Scout Mothers The meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary to Scouts and Cubs was held at the home of Mrs, James A, Cameron on Tuesday evening, February 19. The president, Mrs. Arnold Makins, chaired the meeting Bayfield Boy Scouts and Girl Guides . Observe Scouting 'Thinking Day' leted, Cubmaster Mr, Gallant emphasized Lord Baden-Pow- ell's aims for Scouts and the Cub's duty towards them. Assistant, Nigel Bellchamber read the Founder's "Last Mes- sage" to the boys, On February 24 the Girl Guides, Brownies, Scouts and Cubs with their respective lead- ers: Mrs. MacVean, Mrs. Car- rie, Mrs. Lindsey, and Mr. Gal- lant, assembled for a special Thinking Day Service at Trini- ty Anglican Church. After the Rector's welcome by Rev. Harrison, the colour party, consisting of: Linda Scotchmer, Mary Ervine, Geo- rge Lindsey, James McCurdy and Lorne Merner, presented the flags. Mr. Harrison's address em- phasized loyalty first, to God and them to the ruling power, but remembering "God is King of all, A Guide and Scout can prosper by the use of the scriptures in his daily life and by thinking sincerely with the effort increasing more and more until life's end. The Guides and Scouts thor- oughly agree that this last ser- vice was an inspiring climax in their Founder's remembrance. 0 Work Conditions Rated As Poor The board of Central Huron Secondary School. received rat- ings of good and poor in a sur- vey conducted among the local teachers by the Ontario Second- ary School Teachers Federation. The board received ratings of good on the questions of the board's attitude toward edu- cational improvement and relat- ions in general between the board and staff. However, perhaps due to the conditions experienced with the present building program, the local teachers rated conditions of work as poor. The ratings in order of merit are excellent, good, fair, ade- quate and poor. Among area boards picking up excellent ratings in all three categories were Goderich, List- owel, Wingham, Mitchell, St. Marys. Seaforth was close behind with two excellents and one fair, while South Huron at Ex- eter received one excellent and two good. The results of the survey are printed and distributed to the 10,000 teachers belonging to the OSSTF across the pro-Vince.
