The, Minister's Wife
Fog may envy a minister's wife,
As she sits in church on Sunday.
They little know what lies ahead,
Wh6ri she starts to work on Mon-
day.
She 'is expected to answer the calls
A'nd take charge' of social affairs,
Besides looking after her own fam-
ily,
And attending 'to all their cares.
She no sooner gets started a 'job,
The telephone rings ding-a-ling;
The president of 'tire
Reminds her that she IS to sing:
Before she gets back to her work,
A stranger begs food et the.door,
Unfoetimates know where to come,
Their,PleaclIng she cabnot ignore.

She has 'Sick calls to make;

She .tutees to everyone's sorrow,
And hears complaints to no end,
Ref life is completely disrupted,
No matter what she tries to do.

TRAFFIC AT FIRES IS
A HAZARD
Last Wednesday evening's fire at
-the farm of John Sproal in Turnberry
Township provided •all the makings
for a real tragedy when htindreds "Of
cars turned into the concession road
leading to the farm and created a
super ,traffic tie-up. Parke4 vehicles
lined the road, bumper to bumper,
right through the mile-and-a-quarter
stretch along the north side of the
roadway was packed solidly with cars
attempting to move .away from the
scene and get back to the highway.
Those who. had: parked on the north
lode of 'the road were tied up •for .rilOrt
than an hour until the route was oPeri-P ed.
While the traffic snarled itself into
knots it was found that more water
was, needed to protect a building near
the burning barn. A truck was avail-
able to bring in more water but it
was utterly impossible for the vehicle
to travel the road. Had there sbeen
'any ,sort oof accident, •either at the-fire
or along the road no ambulance' or
doctor could have reached the victims.
. The traffic problem is not .an 'easy
one to solve, for many,of those who
drive to a fire have good reason for
doing so, Neighbours hasten to help
if at all possible. Relatives of the
family involved naturally want to be
'Oh''hand without delay. Hydro em-
- ployees must reach the scene to cut
electrical connections before the hose
rs put into action.
In addition to those who have a
right to be on hand, there are drovei
of curious folk who just want to 'get
in on the excitementf If these people
were a bit more thoughtful a lot of
the trouble could be Avoided.

LOCAL HISTORY IN
'SHAKY HANDS
In conversation with an elderly
gentleman who has a keen and accur-
ate memory of the early days of this
'community, we were reminded that
local history is 'being lost at every
turn. So much 'of the inforMation,
about bygone days.is recorded only in
the memothes of those Who have lived
through an earlier era. Not every
older person is •able to recall the time
f hiS youth in detail.
The Women's Institutes have made
a notable, contribution to the preser-
vation; ,Or !local history through the
-Tweedsmuir Books which have been
compiled during the past few years.
Several counties in this section of On-
tario have voted money toward one or
another plan for having histories
brought up to date. In both cases
the tune and money is well spent, for
a community without as 'history is like
a house without a foundation: All we
are today is based upon what our
fathers were before us.
The 'true historian, of course, must
be a particularly honest individual, for
research into the past turns up Some
rare truths — not always entirely
palatable to a sophisticated age. Facts
will bf teil appear to be 'contradictory
and there are other times when the
mere settling of an accurate date can
take weeks of study and inquiry.
It was with this thought in mind
thit The Advance-Times undertook
the task-of compiling a historical edi-
tion two years ago. That particular
issue of the paper required steady

source of information, but we .found
that a newspaper is at best a flimsy
form in which 'to preserve the record
,of toitantinity's growth. Many of
the ,c opies from which W6 worked were
old' .tital dry that to touch them was
laawdous,
