I3AYFIELD COUNCIL BRIEFS "The, lamps are going put all over Europe; We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime" AP said Edward, Viscount Grey of Fallpden s"41 Lucyouw gu truly sP tr e ' felrhs9et1Pol. recadlllettdheemha9 furegouirnegf out Europe. tin T Canada, het lamps oo .A And in fights g herhts owonodrs).am ily 44 4 light?, has been snuffed outs She refers to the death in Florida of her cousin. Mrs. J, E. Howard (formerly, Auda Wildridge Woods), When Lucy and Jean were quite small, Roby, Nan and Isobel, the children of their father's favourite cousin ' George Woods were very close to them. There were five and now only three remain. Many a time Nan has told Lucy how, during her father's last illness when she was a small child, Dr. Woods took her on his knee, allowed her to play with his watch (such a treat was not allowed his own children) and drew sketches of horses, dogs or people on each side of her slate, and she always kept one on one side until he called again, This beginning may or may not have contributed to her artistic talent. Her hand writing even developed along the same lines as his. When Mrs, George Woods and daughters lived in Seaforth, a registered package came through the mail to him i th.at town. When he went to sign for it be was astounded to see the signature above "N, W. Woods" in what appeared to be his own handwriting. Nan was the one of five girls who could tease Lucy's father and make him laugh, And Jean was perhaps his favourite daughter — at least she always seemed to be granted more privileges than Lucy. Jean and Nan both had musical voices with an Irish lilt. Jean was often asked if she were English by strangers. And once Lucy recalls being out in her own garden on Main street and hearing Nan laugh in Mrs. Gairdner's garden. She'll never forget the merry cadences tripping down the'scale. After all, the purest English in the world is spoken in Dublin, and they had that heritage, There were too, the family picnics which Lucy is recalling. Nan will be missed by many friends in the village. Over the years, Lucy has been told by her friends. "You never hear Nan repeating any gossip about anyone. If she cannot say anything nice, she remains silent or directs the conversation into another channel," Quiet and retiring, she had a fund of knowledge both academic and of nature. Her mother had taught her to identify all the wild herbs, flowers, shrubs, etc. She knew when and where the birds nested and their migratory habits and calls. Often she identified them by their song and flight. Since Mrs. Howard took sick in June, Lucy's column has not been as good as it was when if she wished to know a quotation, or something about birds, or wild flowers, all she had to do was telephone. Several years ago she asked Nan for signs of spring for her column. She never with her higher education, told Lucy how to write. She just jolted down facts. And in this particular instance it was so good that neighbourly news broadcast it. Yes, a light has gone out as it has happened in many of the reader's families and small communities. One more of our age group who were taught "Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee," and "my duty towards my neighbour (catechism) To honour and succour my father and mother. To honour and obey the Queen, and all that are put in authority under her; To submit myself to all my governors, teachers, spirited pastors and masters; To order myself lowly and reverently to all my betters, " has been removed from influence in a world where youth which knows no law but selfish indulgence is feted, Strongly enough it was the late Mrs. Agnes Murray who pointed out to Lucy some 30 or more years ago, the trend of today of disrespect for age and gray hairs. The lights seem to have gone out in our country but those blyth spirits who were taught to serve their churches and communities are • just over the horizon where we cannot see them. • 'This was one comfort Nan gave Lucy when she lost loved ones— ASomeday-the pendulumwill ,swing,back after ,our youth has -learned '=by experience how to conduct their own lives and govern themselves accordingly.
