Reminiscences
I
I ASK YOU to please remember, as you hurry along
the highways bound for son^e distant" point, that it
costs , you nothing to be courteous to other7 drivers
and it saves you money.. . ... ... ................. . ___
It Costs you nothing to sound your horn on the
—as—you-gfe^ about to overtake a" fellow “ '
’ motorist and it may prevent an accident and
thereby save you money. ;
; • It costs you nothing to give the other fellow a wide
berth when you meet him and it may prevent a
side-swipe and thereby saye you money.
• It costs you nothing to hand-signal your intention
to slow down, turn or stop and it may prevent a
collision and thereby save you money.
• It costs you nothing to “nip” along at the speed
df the traffic you are in and it prevents other
motorists from having to “cut-in” in order to get
“there” and thereby removes one of the . greatest • <
causes of costly accidents.
• It costs you nothing to be courteous and considerate,
of your companions of the road and it will prevent
accidents and thereby save dollars and cents for .
everybody and prevent broken bones and broken:
hearts as well. . '
-j So I appeal to you from the standpoint of sheer
... economy to be courteous to other motorists on all
occasions.
Practise and preach the golden rule of the road —
“Show to others the same courtesy that you would
like to have shown to you”. \

Be a leader for
better driving
In 1867 and 1868 I lived as a lad at
Holyrood, or to use the old name Co
chran’s Corners, and perhaps - some
boyish memories yvill be of interest
to the present generation.
My father kept the store and also
the post offiee, which had been closed
but was reopened under him. .Philo
White brought the mail by stage
from Goderich, going through to Kin”
loss every night. We sometimes’ srit
up late waiting,, for the stage,
Mr. Archibald Cochran, Peter Cor
rigan’s father-in-law, and Mrs. Co-‘
chran-were both living at Holyrood
then. I have an- old store bopk which
shows among our customers at that
time Roger Cain, Siteele Murdock,
John Basso, Gideon Fitzells, T. L. Mc
Cutcheon,' George Morgan, John Gra
ham, Jamieson Dempsey, Hector Hol
mes, M. McLeod. DivMOLean, Peter
Vancfe, David Houston, Donald rMc-
Kerizie, Sinclair Meiklejohn, Archibald
Gordon, Donald McAuley, Stephen Bradley, William McMjullen, Alex
ander McKenzie,. Henry Harris, Jas.
McDonagh, Robert “Johnston, Allan
Bruce and many others.
Some of the articles kept in the
store then, are not stocked now, fqr example, hoopskirts and clay_ pipes.
~ ■ArMr~McCofin6ir kep"t fK^Cbchrah
hotel in 1867. He. was succeeded in
1868 by Wm. Wadsworth, who later,
kept a hotel in Lucknow. The second
hotel building put up by Roger Cain
was just new then.
Three events stand out in my boy
hood recollections of these years.
One was the camp of Indians in the
swamp to. .the., north for part of the
winter. They lived there, made bas-
kets.and^traded^aix>und.;Orr-one”oc-
casion, having secured some fire
water, some of them staged a fight
in front of the store when every
body else was supposed to be asleep.
Another interesting occasion was
my first tea meeting, or rather so
cial, for I was there on the second
night. Mount Zion Methodist Church
on the corner of what Was James
Johnston’s farm, was opened. I sat
at the back on| a board laid on blocks
and I remember that the singers,,
who were said to be Treleavens from
Lucknow, had« musical instrument
new to me, probably a melodeon,
and they sang “Shall we, gather, at
the River?” which I heard theri for
the first time. I thought their sing
ing the finest I had ever heard;
But the great event to me of these early Holyrood'days was the Orange
walk on the 12th of July 1868, for,
that day was celebrated • in loyal fa-,
shion at the corners under the aus
pices of the local Orange Lodge.
Janies McDonagh of the sawmill, his
brother, Robert and - Alexander, Rob
ert Elder, the Dempseys and Robert
Johnston, th*en living on what is now
James Baker’s farm, were among
those I remember in that connection.
The local lodge had no fifer, so they
secured one of the Irwin boys from
Belfast and he acquitted himself
very well.
There were flags .and marches and
orange ribbons, and speeches and I
know there was at least one drum
for I got a few whacks at it during
the noon hour when no one. was look
ing; There were little stands for the
sale of candies and lemofiade; an im
portant part of the program for they
youngsters. I remember, that Mrs:
Morrison from the Gray Ox at the
4th Con.; had a stand.
Oh the whole it was a great day.
The celebration was. on a small scale
but there was enthusiasm and good
will arid none of the crowds. of this
year 1936 was happier in their gath
erings than was that company of
sixty-eight years ago.

If you want t<> save on gasoline;
don’t tramp on the accelerator. „ This
is one of the rules Worked out by an'
engineer, who says modern- cars
make use of twice as . much energy
contained in gasoline as did the cars
of ' thirty years ago. But. since it is
up to the motorist to do the few
things that will enable him tb take
advantage of modern engineering? the
ehgiheer suggests: .Accelerating
gently; holding, the car in
drily until moderate speed is
ed; coasting to gradual stop
of jammed on the brakes;
tire inflatiop; shutting off in,<
idling long periods; cleaning spark
dhigs, keeping car lubricated; piw
perl J . filled radiator; settin g intake
manifold heater control for proper
aeaaon; and finally, tuning motor re-
