The males shaiild wear lade embroidery on their shorts. They get up in the Morning in a heated house, walk tide a heated gariige, get into a heated car and beat it for the dearest Coffee shop, If its below zero. they have a hump on their back like a camel. I wonder what they would have done, say in 190344 when the snow was so deep not a train into Brussels for six weeks. The train, bogged down back of the Johnny Steiss farm. A snow plow and ?nine left the Ii41s. I think it was 37 people made their way to Stews' Mrs. Steiss wa a wonderful cook. Johnny had a fat larder and when after a couple of days the conductor tried to billet them With other farmers around roue of them wanted to leave. Bluevale was my village and the stores were sold out in a week. No sugar, no tea, in fact no groceries. and worst of all no tobacco. The farmers were better off than their town cous- ins. In there days about the mid- dle of November they made a special trip in preparation for winter. Five or six bags of wheat Were taken in and traded for flour, a barrell of salt, a hundred of oat meal, a bag of bran, a five gallon can of coal oil and a caddy of tea. They all had plenty of potatoes, and apples a. couple acres of turnips, cabbages and beats, and nearly all grew at least five acres of peas. At least one or two pigs were put in the barrel just before Christmas. Winter in 1904 set in with a vengeance. St snowed for 60 days. Roads were opened through the fields, fol- lowed the rivers and creeks, and only main ones opened. The farm- ers around 'the third line of Mor- ris shovelled for days and days work all day, the snow undo everything over night. When they did get roads the pitch holes would bury a horse and cutter. We had a. neighbour who was taking a iew bags of chop too the mill, A man was standing right ing in the middle of the road. Our neighbour asked himi if he would step aside and let him by. The fellow said " What will I do with my team.? They are hitched to the load of hay I am standing on". It was tough for school kids because schools never closed. However, we Were dressed in long underwear, home knit socks and roil tens and when it got 50 below" they wrapped a scarf around our neck.
