To the Editor, ■
The , Lucknow Sentinel.
• Several months ago you suggested
that I might- pass on some' impres
sions of the" north country here; to
night at least I feel iri j;he mood.
'.At another ti^tie I :would be glad
to tell you of other- things; of the
country itself/ of the , people or of
the highway camps up 'here. But to
night I must fell you, of my.Jittl.e,
friend, Elsa. : - : . • ' 7 ’

simply wouldn’t, go on. ’
, But ’ before I tell you the circum
stances of; this conversation arid the
thoughts it brought, to me, let me
review briefly the history of a little
family here. f, .
Back about 1924 a young Dane, a
graduate of Denmark’^ oldest agri-'
cultural college, came to Canada. He
had -several1 years- successful, exper
ience in Denmark as a farm manager
and came direct to. the Ontario Min
ister of Agriculture i<:as he'was-to
study the dairy business here. But
after, several months with a dairy
near Hamilton, the urge to do like
others was too muqh for him.. He
went west and invested all his cap
ital in a farm in Southern Saskat
chewan. Drought and hail worked
against.him,undhelost.-,everyfhing.,
With nothing but his certificates and
his bare hands, like many others, he
came down to the bush country here.
He Was a willing worker and
managed to adapt himself to the
changed conditions*. . Things went;
along fairly well. He cleared some
„s<ime^timej-hfr--mar-i?ied--a—splendid-
girl from Norway,^ refined and well
educated. Here; we would say, was
just the ideal type of settler' fbr
Cariada—young,v healthy1 and hot
afraid to work/, , ...

asked as Elsa’s mother^ showed me
their’ wedding picture. She smiley
•‘Oh, I’ve gained quite a bit these
last few months "since wF~were~“abie;
to buy a ^cow. But I failed terribly
wjjeh we were on relief; I Was much
thinner than now.” Noticing; no* doubt
lriy shocked expression, she quickly
added: “Oh! it wasn’t really so bad.
We missed.-the milk in our tea as.
much as. anything. You- see we had
to . use every , drop of milk ,we could
buy for Elsa.”
Seldom, I think, have I seen a
more beautiful child. I couldn’t help
expressing the thought that' came;
“It’s too bad you havn’t a, little sis
ter for fefer.” “Oh! We’d- like to, but
—not flow.”
Throughout the winter I saw them
occasionally. The father whs allowed
thirteen days work at $2.00 a day.
On this they were not. only able to
live blit to gradually reduce bill
for sheeting for* the house. But .nOw
the road work has closed down. No
money can be made from the little
clearings. I was down to visit them
again this afternoon. I erijoyed loofc1-
mg over the few acres of fresh clover
for the cow-, the big garden and the
half acre, or so of this spring’s
clearing. The stumping was ' done by
hand—no money here for dynamite
or even for hiring a team.
But I am ahead of myself. When
I arrived, Elsa Was . just awakening
from here aiternoQn nap. I a&ked
why they hadn’t been out to our Jub-
ile Celebration. “We. just couldn’t,”
said he.V. mother. “I was sorry too,
but you see who had no shoes .for
Elsa. Here they 0 are. They aXe so
tight she couldn’t walk ally distance
in them. L'bad saved up enough Tot
shoes from the egg money.. But' now*
the work has stopped and we have
to use it fbr groceries. But we’ll, get
her some somehow. Come,' Elsa, you
can. jvear “them / maybe, for ' a . little
while.'” . 4 , x'
Not the whimpering of the’ weak
but a plain and unashamed statement
of a courageous mother' making a
brave fight against terrible odds.
And as 1 walked home my thoughts
were f&r fr6m con|fOrtable. , ,
I suppose in our little wayr we are
clever. But I ^m afraid that, the H.
GK Wells of a century hence Will pay
little attention to our feelings .when
he writes the history of our times.
He will, no ddubt, observe that we
were continually improving transpor
tation,, communication^—every ' phase
of science and invention; that we
could .make bobts faster and easier
than ever before. But tp our shame

pidity we didn’t know how to get to
