Sherman Willis, Peace
River, Visiting Mother
Sherman Willis, veteran peace
Rivex* district fire ranger, who re
turned to -this district for the first
time in 30 years, Friday, recalled
■many of the pleasures of his boy
hood spent at his farnx hoxne near
Exeter, He is visiting at the home
of his mother, Mrs. James Willis, of
Stephen Township*
Traveling from London by bus,
he recognized familiar1 scenes.
“There’s the old Lucan hotel, That
was always there. But I -don’t re
member some of these houses,
they’re new,” he said.
There were many changes, he
said, not the least of them the ibus
ixx which he was riding. ’‘We used
to travel by horse and buggy, ox*
by T-model in those -days. The road
wasn't where it is now, either, it’s
been moved farther to the right.”
Houses Better Then
He recalled that when he left
Exeter in 1916 “they were showing
silent films in the old skating rink”.
In those days the houses along the
road looked better maintained, and
there was less pastureland, he said.
A married man, with wife and
son -at Peace River, Mr. Willis ex
pects to be here about three weeks.
Comparing .the Northern- Alberta
region with Huron, he said the
roads are much better in the -south.
At Peace River “we have only -dirt
roads, although we are (beginning
to put -gravel on .the road leading
to Dawson Creek.” Farming is good,
■he said, with wheat, oats and barley
the principal -crops. Alfalfa is an
increasingly favoured -crop. There
are only spruce, popular and -birch
trees, no maple, and tlxe tempera
ture falls as low as 72 degrees be
low (freezing.
So Much Drier
“■But it’s not as cold there at 60
below as it is here at 18 below,
because it’s so much drier,” he
said. “Most of the homes are kept
freshly painted, and you can. see
it’s a new country,
Mr. Willis had not advised his
mother of his impending return.
He left Peace River Monday, hav
ing made up his mind to come “only
two days before.”
When he walked into the homey
Exeter.farm, he found 'his mother
sitting quietly. 'She didn’t know -he
was -coming. But it -didn’t matter.
She was waiting anyway.
