The paralyzing effects
weeks of alnfost continuous
suz-s|ero weather, (with frequent.
storms, reached it? zenith early this
weekT when even train schedules
were disrupted. Motor roads out of
Lucknow have been clogged for
several days,, and even travel by
horse and sleigh' is difficult and slow
as - roads' continue to build up and
fill in. - ______........
The first train cancelation of the
week. and the ;first for many winters
occurred Tuesday morning, when the
early train out of Kincardine failed
to break a loiVg drift just at ’ the
outskirts of Ripley. 1 The uncoupled
engine attempted to -break through
but failed and could .not even get
back to book onto the train, and on
top of that was rendered practically
useless when a cylinder head blew
out. . . ’ J
A second engine chme down from
Kincardin/ td help free the train, but
became snowbound a few rods north
of the stranded train, r, A plow was
dispatched to the scene but developed
engine trouble • and it was mid af
ternoon before it arrived at Ripley.,
By this timej cancelation orders had
been issued for both the morning
train and the noon train out -of Kin
cardine. On account of the 'tie-up at
Ripley, the Palmerston-Kincardine
train due in here at 2.15 was turned
at Wingha'm and sent back.
Efforts of the section1 gang at
Ripley , to free the train -were fruit
less as the storm which was whipped
up by a bitter wind filled in the drif
ted “cut almosb’ as quickly as they
could shovel it out.
Behind the plow came a coach car
rying a gang of shovellers that in
cluded several, local men. After re
leasing the train ahd engind' the
plow cleared the road to Kincardine
early in the evening where it' was
necessary to put the gahg to wbrk
shovelling out the Y. The late tram
got through running about two hours
behind, schedule. . ' '- • -•
The plojw passed back through
Luckno^ about four, a.m., leaving ..a
clepr track for the Wednesday morn
ing train, J)Ut further trouble de
veloped. During the bitter cold night
the engine froze up and the “early”
train pullecf out of Kincardine about
four hours late, arriving in' Lucknow
about W a.m.
Both the “down”„ and “up” trains
on Wednesday afternoon were can

proof that advertising pays, is the
results. Mrs. Victor Durnin does not
hesitate to recommend’1’tfie Sentinel

create sales. Last week,, Mrs. Dur-
nin inserted an ad listing several
items for sale.
The paper . was no sooner in sub
scribers’, hands than sales commen
ced, and in ’spite of storm blocked
roads,, within • twenty-four hours—
before Friday nooh in fact, Mrs.
Durnin had disposed of an ice mach

-old calf, and 12 pullets and had re
ceived an offer on a number of hens
and a cutter.

Filling to capacity the concert
room and its stage, and with tables
arranged in the cystal ballroom 4>f~
the Fort . Garry hotel, Winnipeg, the
oBruce County association held one
if its most successful reunions Tues
day, of last week, when more tftan
500 former residents of “Bruce” at
tended .the annual dinner. and dance.
Lovely bouquets of deep red and
golden roses , decorated the long tab
les, which were softly lighted by the
glow of amber candles. Community
singing under , the direction of Mr.
Ralph Duncan was & popular feature'
of the evening’s program,.which was-
nresjded over by Mr. Fred Seibert,
ke^ident of the association. Arran
gements were in charge of Mrs. N.
R. Duncan and Mr. J. H. Curie, sec

■ The virtues with which the Bruce
county of old endowed her sons and
daughters were held up as ideals
for , men and women in the present
days of ‘change by Principal John
MacKay, who spoke at, the reunion
dinner.—7 : • - ' -.■' ------ ■
■ Principal MacKay recalled how the
pioneer settlers Occupied the’ county
in one of the great formative periods
of Canadian history, hewing ' their
farm homes s put of the unbroken
forest. To their task, of settlement
they brought, fine ~ co-operative
neighborliness,, despite their differ
ent racial strains and religions. All
were'on an equal standing in "respect
to possessions, and all took' pride in
the success of their neighbors. ..'
But since then the world over has
seen a great revolution. “Now”, „ he
complained, “there is too much, stan
dardization, too much. sameness, and
too )much dependence on gbvebn-
mehts. The’curse of civilization’to
day,” he added, “is tha]t, we -are
grouped in vast organizations,” and
he warned against the danger of
regimentation as in’ Germany unless
the individual receives more recog
nition.
Fred V. Seib’ert, Southampton,
president of the • association, was
chairman and welcomed the-gather
ing. At this table were, besides the
guest-speaker, Mrs. Seibert, Miss
Belle^ MacKay, Luckno'w;, Rev. and

Local Man’s Brother
Celebrates 86th Birthday
Brother ..Of Thomas Aitchison Of
Town Finds Contentment In Hard.
Work—Returned To Farm At Age
Of 80.

Aitchisbn, a brother of: Mr. Thomas
Aitchison of town. Pieter, TJiomas
and Jack are the only three surviv
ing members of a family'1 of eight
children.
That gpod hard work is the real
secret of contentment has be^n
proved by P. Aitchison, farmer-near
Woodbridge, who celebrated his 86th
birthday on Sunday. Some seven
years ago, after three-quarters of a
century of active work as lumber
man and farmer, he prepared to . re
tire,' but when the man to whom he
had sold/ his farm decided it whs im
possible to carry on because of hard
times, Mr. Aitchison came back to ,
the land and for the last, five years,
in spite df his age, he has worked in
the fields in all kinds of Weather. His <
‘wife has assisted in making a suc
cess for him.
In. retirement he was uneasy and
restless, at work he is happy
contented, Mr. Aitchison told
Star. <r ■ r -
