THE GODS. ARE ANGRY
' by Wilfred Noyee
I can recommend both as 'inter-
esting reading, The title of the
first seems peculiar bat it does
have as two of its main figures --
an American bride, Helen, Who is
childish in outlook in many ways,
and an Indian bride Koortti, who
is but fifteen years of age.
This ebook is a novel of modern
India. Helen)s husband expresses
the impact of India in the think-

says "Do you. know what I mean

too "leech here. One's only cmotwn
seems to' be compassion, When it
isn't despair. And there's the aw-
ful feeling that 'however much

concentrate on the past but the
Present keeps intruding, and the
two are indistinguishable — it's the
same old famines, floods, plague$
and half the time I don't know

Two Stories run almost
but not quite because eventually
they intersect, They culminate at
the religious festival at the sacred,
invisible Saraswati river, "The sur-
feit of tragedy" of which Richard
had spoken overwhelms the reader,
almost with horror. There was an
interlude of the story which, was
interesting to me because it was
so similar to the only other book
I've ever read about Nepal, That
was — The Nfountain in. Young
this book is also in the library.
It is by Han Suyin but I have never
reviewed it because I feel it •is the
least good of Dr. Han's books, It
is odd though that Nepal's at-

- -Mr Bruce 1 ott of 7VIarltdale ,
who was stationed there with. On-
tario Hydro a couple of weeks ago,
spent the week-end with his par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs, Carl Lott. Mr.
Budd Lott, of North Bay, spent
Monday evening with his parents,
while in town on'business,
office, but as the country settled
the post office was moved north to
the tenth concession where a gen-
eral store was established and
became known as New Fordyce,
and now there is nothing left of
old Fordyce but the large pine tree
which stands at the corner of the
erpesreads, The writer can well
remember, whille driving past with
wife and children in the buggy,
how the little girls would always
sing to that dear old tree.
Next to Fordyce lived the Fora'
family, Mr, Jerry' Foran was a
big-hearted Irishman with a thick
black beard, They were a jolly
family of boys and girls of the old
school, The welcome mat 'was
always out at the Foran home and
I'm afraid we too often intruded
on Mrs. Foran's hospitality, South
on the division line was the Old
schoolhouse on the hill, hut that is
another story.
Now let us hi our meanderings
go north to the tenth ,,concession
of East Wawanosh. Here we meet
with another class of integrated
folk: Irish, Scotch and English—
the Gibbons, Dows, McGees, Bee-
crafts 'and Irwins, Next we come
to the crossroads called Calvin
where stands two stately old
churches, Presbyterian and United.
The old Methodist brick church,
built in 1866, was the first place of
worship in East Wawan6eh and
served as a, community -church for
some years until the Presbyterian
adherents formed a group and
built a church on the opposite
corner which became known at
Calvin Presbyterian church. The
two churches used to hold services
every Sunday, one in the morning
and the other in the afternoon.
This custom was carried on for
more than seventy years. Even at
the time of church union in 1925
they failed to come together, hut
in 1957 they finally did unite and
took the name of .Calvin Brick
United Church. Although there
was a slight difference in the form
of worship of these two congre,
gallons there never was any known
strife between the two; they seem-
ed to work in harmony, one with
another, for the common good.
Many stories have been written
about faraway places, but we
Huronites can be justly proud of
our native land, Moses, while giv-
ing his last charge to the Israelites
before they entered the Promised
Land, said "The land which ye
shall go in to possess is a land of
hills -and valleys where ye shall
diink water"--Deuteronomy 11:11,
Huron County certainly is a land
of hills and valleys with little
streams and rivulets flowing
through.
As I 'have previously stated, a lot
of the formal history of Huron
County is lost, but of late I have
been gatheririg many stories of the
sturdy pioneer settlers, Here is
one that should be of interest. Mr.
Andrew McGrath came to Hewlett
Township in 1856 and walked fifty
miles from Fordwich to Goclerich
to bring home a bag of flair on
his back. Show me the man today
who will walk even fifty rods for
a- loaf of bread!
God rest the pioneer settlers of
Huron; may their names 'be in-
scribed in the memories of the
present generation.

11'11THIS YEAR FOROSON OR UEXTA DIESEL TRACTOR' ..,
By R. Henry Leishman
It was a spring morning in 1891
when a six-yeaaaold lad guided by
his two elder sisters, trudged along
the ninth concession of East Wa-
wanosh. It was a very eventful
day in the life of the lad; it was
the first day of school. Dressed in
knee-pants and white blouse with
a sailor cotter, and carrying a
lunch pail and slate tucked under
the arm, there wasn't a prouder
little tyke in Ontario. Mother had
followed along as far as the picket
fence, I was afraid that she was
going to kiss me, Why would a
fellow six years old want to be
kissed? But mother settled for a
wave of the hand and cautioned,
"Be a good boy,"
So on we went over the sandhill,
down through the beaver meadow
and along the open ditch, where
the frogs were all happily singing
their spring chorus, the sweetest
sound af the year. The old bull-
frog saE on. the bank and croaked,
then as we approached the sprang
and dived into the water with a.
splash. To the south over Robin-
son's bush the crows were cawing
and fussing for first place to build
their nests. Then on past Chim-
ney s orchard we went, with the
large astrakhan tree in the -corner
leaded with purple buds, and the
lovely spring blossoms adding
their fragrance to the warm spring
air.
Next we came do Fordyce Corner
where Mr. Phillips, the blacksmith,
lived with his wife and daughter
Eliza.. Mr, Phillips was a kindly
'old gentleman who loved children.
His blacksmith shop opened onto
the roadway, It was to become
our stopping place in the following
years of our school life. We sel-
dom, if ever, went past without
going in to see our dear old friend.
Mn, Phillips would let us pump the
long handle of the bellows to blow
up the fire in the forge to heat the
iron red hot, when he would ham-
mer it on the anvil. What lovely
music was made when the heavy
hammer would boune,e and ring
with -perfect rhythm as, he formed
and shaped the hot iron into dif-
ferent designs, There always was
something fascinating about the
country blacksmith shop, an at-
traction that children of this me-
chanical age are denied.
Posdyce was once close to be-
coming a village with its three
houses, blacksmith shop and post
