Rambling with Lucy Passenger rates higher Continued from Page 1. and Isabel taught school at a very early age, They hoped to teach in Ontario. Isabel applied at Bayfield, There was no opening. They walked to Brussels where a teacher was needed. She was criticised for her Gaelic accent, The school trustees to whom she applied said they wanted .a teacher who spoke English. Highly incensed she turned on her heel, banged the door as she left and they returned to Bayfield, She worked in Gairdner and Co, store until a vacancy occurred. Later, Mary Elliott (Mrs. John Fraser) who attended Mr, Thomson's Private School became a teacher herself. Only a few of the names of early teachers are available—Miss Colemann, 1851; James Shaw, 1852-3; George Ruston, 1856; Robert Ferguson, 1857; Robert James Roberts, 1858-9, (The Rev. Robert James Roberts, A.B., T.C,D., was the Incumbent in Trinity Church Parish for two and a half years from May 15th, 1860). James Shaw was a member of a family who were blacksmiths on the fourth concession, Goderich Township and later moved to the village. Mrs. Robert Scotchmer recalls that her father James, a member of the Malcom, Campbell family who settled on the Bronson Line in 1844, went to school in this old log building with James Shaw and boarded with the Shaws. When Beldon's Atlas was written, the old log school was described as being a private residence of Henry McCann, having been improved by recent repairs. This is probably when a clapboard lean-to approximately 18 feet by 12 feet was built on to the back at the eastern part. About six feet of this was used as a coal cellar, A trap door opened up into a hole under the centre of the room for storage of fruit and vegetables. The chimney was built onto a bracket on the wall of the log portion. McCann probably built the little 19 foot by 20 foot barn at the back of lot 12. Henry McCann and also his wife rented the building. Mr. and Mrs. John McLoed (nee Adelaide Thomson) lived here in 1886 when their daughter Myrtle M. was born on August 14th (Miss Cecil McLoed's sister.) After Dr. Ninian W. Woods acquired the property, he extended the lean-to as far as the west wall of the log part. Used for a kitchen, it covered the bedroom window in the southwest corner of the original building. It was not insulated but Lucy remembers the little wood-burning cook stove which kept it warm in those days. Her father also covered the outside walls of the main part of the cottage with pine panelling. It was given a priming coat of yellow ochre and oil and no paint brush touched it until about 1940, Also over the front door a glass porch six feet by six feet was erected to give protection against the cold north winds. It was designed in the fancy Victorian style of the late 1890's and painted white. To this day, the windows are installed putty- side in. Later, after his marriage April 16th 1901, to Miss Margaret F. Buchan of Durham, Ontario, he had a large 19 foot by 33 foot added to the stable with an adequate hay loft and space for him to store cutters, buggies, etc, Two large rolling doors enabled him to drive in his horses or thOse of patients in inclement weather, (A tie post did service on the boulevard to the east of the big gate for visitors in fine weather). The frame of the drive-shed is of heavy hand-hewn square timbers. The building was done by George Castle Sr., a framer. On April 5th 1907, Dr. Woods bought the east two-thirds of lot 13 and lot 14 from Capt. John A. Ferguson for the purpose of building a large residence and offices. Instead he bought the old Rutledge place on Main Street from Thomas Stinson and the family moved up there in October 1907, He always intended to return to the cottage so would never sell it, He died October 31st, 1933. Among those renting it over the years were: Thomas Brownlee, School Principal; Edward Elliott, School Principal; Miss Helen Austin (Mrs. H.A. Stott) Detroit, summers; Wm. A, Balkwill, locksmith; E.R. Weston, stage driver; A.C, Brandon, stage driver, Dr, C,G. Stogdill, Toronto, summers; Dr. A.B. Copp, London, summers; Dr. L. Duffy, London, summers; Dr, D.A. Volume; Arthur Hopson; Mrs. R. Carr-Harris, Windsor, summers. In 1936, Mrs. Woods, Administratrix of her husband's estate, had the real estate registered in her own and two daughters' names as joint tenants and not tenants in common, Thus it has come to her daughter Lucy (Mrs. Carl E. Diehl) as the last survivor. In 1945, Mrs. Woods had the lean-to pulled down and had a 20 foot wide addition, with a sun room extending seven feet on the east side, built across the back. It was built to a gable and roof with a dormer window on either side. This allowed for two bed-rooms upstairs under the eaves. The whole building was covered with white asbestos shingle siding. The little bedroom in the north east corner was torn out and a fireplace added to the enlarged room. J.R. Cameron assisted by H.A. Stinson did the carpentry work and George Weston the cement work for a basement part under the addition. The cherry and maple flooring in the living room which Charlie Dresser laid for her father is still there but the ash wainscotting, fashionable in those days fell prey to change in interior clecoration. Lucy remembers the stained wood ceiling in the centre lean- to which served as a dining room, also the large rag carpet which her mother had Mrs. Margaret Green weave for her. It was a cosy room. Mrs. Woods and Lucy moved back to this little place so full of memories in November 1946, Mrs. Woods died February 7th, 1957, All the old trees in the once shady garden have gone. There were three Lombardy poplars at the front fence — one opposite each garner of the cottage and the other across the driveway. East of these at the front fence were a large willow and a silver maple almost together and the remains of an old flower garden, At each side at the back of the building were two silver maples, Lucy recalls, and a black locust across the drive-way on the lawn. It was probably there when the school house was built. Lucy fancies the pupils may have planted the other trees. Also when she left in 1907 there were two apple trees and plum trees growing on the east side of the garden. Not to be forgotten was the pig pen and chicken house, essential to most homes in those early days! I'm not what one would call an avid hockey fan. That's why we have two televisions at our house - to permit me to watch a movie or a talk show or a musical extravaganza or the news or anything at all just as long as it isn't hockey. I don't know what it is abo'ut that game, especially the television version. I get absolutely sick-to- my-stomach dizzy. There's so much movement that my eyes play tricks on my digestive system. And I can't follow the play. I never know who has the puck- and rather than risk vomiting all over the livingroom rug, drop the whole issue and go do the ironing. But I live with hockey nuts. My husband and my two sons just adore the game, In the average hockey season, I get more news from the nets than most people who are acquainted with the sport, From the opening face-off of the season to the final Stanley Cup period, I'm informed. Totally informed. That may be part of the reason I feel so strongly about this Bobby Hull thing. As far as I'm concerned, I don't give a tinker's darn about NHL rules and regulations. All I know is that Hull is a fine hockey player and I believe,we should send our best to the Canada-Russia game. I, for one, would like to see the Russians trounced solidly by the Canadian bunch - and I don't care if Clarence Campbell or Alan Eagleson or the entire NHL uppercrust have their noses out of joint because of it. The part which really. irks me is that the NHL insists on holding the upper hand at all costs. For years or so it seems to me - the NHL sat placidly by and let the "BE SURE 11-1AT CAMPFIRE IS REALLY. OUT! USE YOUR WASH WATER To '.THOROUGHLY DOUSE THE AREA BEFORE ,q BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Russians wipe the ice with anything we could put out there. There wasn't any national pride to be upheld as far as the Canadian contingent of the NHL was concerned. It was as though it wasn't even Canadian. Now, it appears the NHL sees a way to make some money and gain some new kind of status for itself. It has agreed that only Canadian born players who are signed with the NHL shall be permitted to participate in the game. That's really superiority plus. What hockey team could possibly be so good that it could not use Bobby Hull, an NHL legend if there ever was one. I'm not arguing with the NHL stand to stick to the rules and bar first place. I'd like to know the wisdom of it- or was it purely an economic venture designed to prove that the NHL is the best there is without help from anyone. The NHL president Clarence Campbell has charged that the Prime Minister of Canada was not well-informed. It appears that Team Canada's own coach Harry Sinden wasn't too well informed. He thought he could use Hull. He even announced that Hull would be one of 35 players who would play in the series against the Russians. And what about PET getting involved in this thing? Should he have kept his cool and quietly ignored the situation? I don't know what the best political move would be. I don't think like a politician. But I'm afraid that if I was the Prime Minister of Canada and Bobby Hull was willing to play on my team against our oldest and strongest competition, I'd be hopping up and down too if someone said he couldn't play because of a paper technicality. I'm not so sure I would have refused to meet with Clarence Campbell - if that's true - to discuss the matter. I think I might have been so hostile I would have gladly had Campbell ushered into my office if for no other reason than to emphasize the point that Canada's honor is at stake. That's more important than any NHL red tape. Maybe the Canadian team can beat Russia without Hull and with dull skates and cracked hockey sticks. 'don't know, But if Bobby Hull wanted to join forces with my hockey team, I'd let him. We'd argue later, Charterways Company Ltd., has been operating eight Southwestern Ontario bus routes at a loss of about nine and one-half cents per mile since June 1971, the Ontario highway transport board was told recently. Between June 30, and Dec. 31 1971 the company's revenue from these routes averaged 48 cents per mile, F.D. Domier, of Toronto, Charterways, traffic manager said. Costs during this period averaged 57.62 cents per mile. This loss, about nine and one half cents per mile, has remained constant, he said. Charterways is asking approval from the minister of transport for an average of one cent per mile fare increase on the eight routes. The approval would allow Marie Flynn of Clinton and Norman Speir provided the music for Monday afternoons old tyme music and dancing session with Gertie Kaitting and Helen Allen of Goderich leading a sing-a-long. Debbie Flynn, accompanied on the piano by her mother, entertained with a step dance number. Some of the regular Monday volunteer group from Goderich - Margaret Stewart, Thelma Snell, Bud Elliott, Vic Bird, Lily Blanchard - were on hand to assist with the activities and help the residents in many ways. 30 residents having July birthdays were honoured at a party on Wednesday afternoon sponsored by the Hensall Women's Institute. Mrs. J. McAllister, pa6t president of the Institute, introduced the program. Sam Rennie sang two solo numbers and led the sing-song accompanied at tl% piano by Miss Greta Laramie. Other numbers on the program included a piano duet by Bart and Tanda Visscher, a dance by Tanda, and violin selections by Frank Forrest accompanied by Mary Broadfoot. Following the program, gifts were presented to the celebrants and lunch was served to about 150 residents and guests. Cassie Dougall, a former member of the Hensall W,I, thanked those responsible for the party on behalf of the residents. The Wingham Salvation Army Band with bandsmen from Listowel and Windsor directed by Capt. Cameron played for a concert on the lawn on Family Night. A group of 12 young people from the Wingham Corps, The Singing Company, assisted with the program. Susan Gannet and Corp. Sg. Major Henderson were in charge.
