use; He was once engaged in
Mrs. John moving a house on• the' outskirts
of , the town of Goderich; when
he brought •about a state of
alarm in the mind of a passing
motorist. ,
The house had been lifted and
put on wheels, and'was being
towed across a field at the edge
of • the town. The motorist, see-
ing the house moving, thought
something was wrong, and turn-
ed off the highway to drive
through an open gale in to the
field., He hurried around in front
of the house, waved to the tree -
tor -driver to stop, and informed
Russell excitedly: "That house
you are towing. I think it's on
fire. There's smoke coming from
the chimney." '
Russell Parsons startled • the
motorist by looking, not back at
the house, but at his wristwatch,
"I hope there is smoke coining
from the chimney," he said.
"It's just about time to eat."
And being stopped anyway,
to answer the helpful motorist,
he went back to the house he
was trailing, to have a hot meal.
He had ' undertaken 'to move
the house without disturbing any-
thing inside,' and the family in

sell Parsons was , climbing to
the roof of the house. He lifted
the telephone wires 'with, his
hands and found, as he expected,
that there was more than enough
slack to let him lift; the wires
higher than the ridgepole on
which he`- was standing. '
He called to the tractor driver
to drive on, and then •,just walk-
ed in one place, while the ridge-.
pole slid along underneath him.
At the moment when he was
putting his foot down on the
back end of, the roof, he let the
wires„ go, and that .was that.
The wires hung a couple, of feet
lower than the top of the hquse,
but the house was nowon the
other side of them.
There isone point of resem-
blance between L. • W. . Appel,
the sports expert of this news-
paper, and Russell Parsons, the
moving expert of Hibbert. When
L. W. Appel (and the 'A', is pro-
nouriced as in awful, not .as in
apple) takes his annual vaca-
tion he spends most of it sitting
in' drafty arenas, sun -baked ball
fields or hard -seated stadia,
which is what he has to do the
other 50 weeks of a year, as
well Last time Russell. Parsons
took holiday, he went down to

St. Lawrence Seaway ' project.
He didn't care very much ,how
deep a channel was being
dredged,, or how many boa
were going to use it. He ,went
to see / buildings being moved.
His idea of a holiday was to
be a spectator while other pea.

and pulled them away out -of
the area that is to be flooded

A good -many people are old
enough to remember how it• was
done before the strength of in-
ternal 'combustion engines could

eration ago, the moving of . a

another, was a slow business,
in which the main piece of mai

Owed to a tree and a couple
of hundred feet or more of stout
rope would be stretched from
the building to the winch. Then
a team of horses would walk an
an endless circle, using the lev-
erage of a long team -tongue to
take in' the rope, and draw the
building. When the length of the
rope had been Wound on. the
drum, the procedure was to un-
hitch, move the winch, re -anchor,

length of the rope, .
We doubt if anyone who reads
this is old enough to remember
When house -moving was done by
the direct pulling power of
horses, without the' niultiplica•
