Grandparents are interesiting people and you can make that statement without exceptions. There's some­ thing in the passing of the years . . the .experiences and the trials and .the tribulations of raising a family that endows grandparents with a charm all-1 their own. BuV on one point they’re all alike . . . they can see no harm in anything that their grandchildren do.' It seems like only yesterday that day when in company with the older pupils from the school on the next Concession, I was plodding my way home. There was a Sewing Circle meeting that afternoon at .the Church on our line, and Miss Tabitha’s grey mare was tied up to the fence. The school children, as usual, dallied ar­ ound the -church shed . . . when the older boys began tormenting me as to my bravery. There isn’t time .to waste on details so I’ll explain what happened. While the bigger boys held up the buggy I switched a front wheel and a back one , . giving the buggy a slightly uneven gait when in motion. Then we all hid out in the shed . . . and Miss Tabitha , . . as prim as«a cucumber and as solur as a chokecherry came out and started off. Bumpety-bump , . wow . bumpety-bump , . whinny , . and then with a defiant snort the horse was off down the road . . cdlatter- ing and bumping and going like mad . . . and Miss Tabitha with her bon­ net hanging at a ridiculous angle, hanging onto the dashboard. The joke seemed to lose its flavor and I sneak­ ed home as quickly as two bare feet could make it over a freshly gravelled road, I didn’t eat much supper that night When the telephone rang after supper X streaked for the only safety X knew . . . grandfather’s place, just two farms down the line. Granfather was milking the cows and he failed to notice anything wrong withm e/ After the usual questions about how the folks were, he pro­ ceeded with one of his lumbering days stories, And then father appeared with the horse and buggy, and I managed to get between grandfather and the cow. For at least ten. minutes the argu­ ment raged, with me ducking, and grandfather worming the awry out of WOW NOTICE TO CREDITORS IN THE MATTER of the Estate of Mary Jane Davidson, late of the Town of Wingham in the .County of Huron, Married Woman, deceas­ ed.

HAD FINE TRIP TO FLORIDA Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gowans Left In Storm, Weather Cleared at Cincinnati received Mr. and Florida, CHRISTMAS GIFTS IN GREAT VARIETY AT THE ISARD STORES father. “What would you do with a boy like that?” stormed Father, “He’s go- ingto the badJ” Grandfather stopped to light his pipe and I saw his moustache quiver­ ing as he dried to Smother a smile. In a little while he started to laugh and he said, “If somebody had pulled that trick on Tabitha twenty-five years ago she wouldn’t be so sour on the world now.” That didn’t help matters any I sup­ pose but father stopped trying to grab for me. Then grandfather said, “Do you remember the day you tied the tin can to the tail of .the preacher’s dog and he rushed into church when theyw ere having that Missionary meeting. Well sir, I was going to thrash the daylights out of you that time, only your grandfather reminded me that I was kicked out of school one time for putting a rat in the draw­ er of the teacher’s desk." Father gave me quite; a talking to. but on the way home started laughing and I just hat and thanked Providence that grandfathers always seemed to be able to quieten fathers down/ The parents may be very particular with their children . . but it seems that with the passing of the years they lavish affection on the grandchildren, because “a grandchild can do no wrong." The following is a letter by the Advance-Times from Mrs. Peter Gowans, now in telling of their trip south, Dear Friends: We left home on Tuesday after- , noon, 4 p.m., Novx 26th. It was just starting to snow and before we reach­ ed London it was a howling blizzard, We changed buses at London and continued our journey to Windsor where we spent the night. An old friend, W, L. Clark, editor of the Windsor Cities Star, had Mr. Hamil­ ton, one of his employees, meet us at the bus station and he took us to the Norton-Palmer Hotel where we had the best accommodation possible. Mr. Hamilton met us next morning and took us to the American Consul­ ate where we spent nearly two hours getting our visas. We had n’o -trouble whatever in getting all the necessary papers for crossing the border. By 11 a.m. we returned to the bus station- and soon crossed to Detroit, where we secured a bus for Florida. ■ The weather 'was very disagreeable in Windsor and Detroit, lots of snow and slush. It continued to snow most of the time while crossing the State of Ohio, before we reached Cincinn­ ati it ceased snowing and the roads were dry and nice motoring. We could not have had nicer weather go­ ing around the mountains of Ken­ tucky and Tennessee. The weather kept getting warmer each day until we reached our destination at 11 a.m. Friday. •«- We were glad to discard our heavy clothing and dress according to Flor­ ida weather. Yesterday (Thursday) the maximum temperature was 72° and the minimum was 52’. Today was considerable warmer. We miss many of our Canadian friends here this sea­ son but some are arriving every day.

LICENSE PLATES .................- r e 1940 Automobile License Plates To Be Collected for Red Cross motorists of Ontario wholeheartedly," said “This arrangement Opportunity to render A plan for the salvaging of 1940 automobile license plates by the On­ tario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society was announced recently by the Honourable Mitchell F. Hep­ burn, Prime Minister of Ontario. Mr, Hepburn pointed out that if all or nearly all the 1940 plates were recov­ ered, the Red Cross funds would ben­ efit by a sttbstariial sum and almost three hundred tons of scrap steel would be made available for war pur­ poses, “I hope the will co-operate ..Mr, Hepburn, gives them an effective aid in two ways and at no cost to themselves. Three hundred tons of steel would be an important aid to the war industries and the cash derived from the sale of the metal will be effectively used by the'Red Cross. In the present emergency, when steel mills arc working to capacity we must avoid waste of material and 1 am sure that motorists will support this worth­ while undertaking.” It is understood that the Red Cross Society’s plan for the salvaging of the old plates has been made possible by they co-operation of Imperial Oil Lim­ ited and the members of the Automo­ tive Transport Association. All Im­ perial Oil service stations will act as collecting depots for the plates and Automotive Transport Association members have agreed to transport the collected plates to the steel mills. Both operations are being conducted without charge.
