In those days, when prosperous farmers were building rambling one and two storey stone houses, the tall mill must have looked like a skyscraper to them. Nowadays there is no griSt for the mill to grind The brook still gurgles between its banks • through a park now used for recreation purposes, For this choice bit Of Canadian heritage, time Seems to have stood still. Aiberfoyle is one of the pret- tiest villages in central Ontario.. It is nestled 'in part of the richest farining area' in the provance. The winding paved road, now called No. 6 high- way, passes between those stone houses erected many years ago. They, still in perfect condition, are surrounded by lofty trees and lovely gardens, Cattle, sleek and Tat, graze in pastures and crops nod to one another across old split cedar rail fen- ces. One expects all the tall scents of ripening apples and cooling chili sauce to mingle with wood smoke from farm- hoUse chimneys. Nearby are groups of very new homes which have established a sense of suburban community living. To me this evidence of prog- ress seemed a little foreign to the nature of the village on the day we attended Abeiloyle's now famous Flea Market. The two mill buildings serv, ed the community, I suspect, in More ways than merely grinding wheat into flour. We walked the pathway that led to the bridge over the mill- race where we were greeted by the smell of French fries and hot coffee. No country fair, auction, or flea market Snick Canadian coniz 1.

About 25 antique dealers, coin' collectors and those with other merchandise to sell were settled along the fence sur- rounding the grounds or beside the brook. Their wares, many of them collector's items, were displayed on long wooden tab- les. In some instances, glori- fied junk rested on wool blan- kets on the ground with home- made signs declaring them to be 'bargains at any price from, 25 cents to a dollar. It was a chilly fall clay, Gray ominous cloud8 scudded across the sky but the weather did not deter customers with a nose for a bargain or long sought 'antique, from autiiig• items and exclaiming, "oh" and "rah" both over price and qual- ity of the thousands offered for sale. There were buttons at $1.50 and pressed glass mar- ked front $1 to a charge out of all bounds. f1 fur muff one merchant 'cuddled over his ro- tund figure could be bought for $2.50 (no fleas attached) but no one seemed to have' the courage to deprive him of this comfort. Lost Art of Bargaining It Wasn't until we had al- most made the rounds and I had remarked sorrowfully that I missed the wrangling of the European Flea Market merch- ants, that we met up with 'a dealer who whispered in my ear, 'offer me a price, (teazle, for 'any item you fancy and I'll make a deal". This was what I had hoped our flea mar- ket would be like. Bargain- ing and. dickering is half the fun for r . dealer and customer alike. There wasn't anything I really coveted in heir array of 'authentic antique glass and china until I found a small ultra modern and uSeless poly- chrome shelf marked $2.50. Chipped and scarred it looked so !forlorn on the fringe of her blanket of bargains I offered • her dollar and expected to settle for at least $1.75, With alacrity she. rolled it in a piece of newspaper and os though She were offering me the crown jewels tucked it under my ann. and extended her band for pay- ment. It was a rather weak ending to my hoped-for ex- change of offer. Was it a bar- gain? I wonder. But it made the day's ()Wing complete, igromwia. THIS AMAZING TIRE Classified Ads.
