BY ALICE MULVEY A Winter's Night on the Farm How nice -it is to sit back on a winter's evening with neighbors and friends and reminisce about the past happenings in the . area. Most of these homespun tales begin with, "Do you remember when?" And one story will lead to another and an enjoyable evening is had by all. There are stories of heroism and hardship and of hard work and laughter. There are tales that tell of sadness and tales that tell of -good times spent on the farm and every one is interesting. Huron County has its own pecu- liar tales. Travelling. before the turn of the century was done • by . , horseback, sleigh, foot or boat and often was, hazardous. In a nearby township the tragic tale is told of a young man by the name of Stephen Neubecker, who' had taken a load of grain to sell at the nearest market place and upon returning home was attack ,1 `'ed and robbed of all his money' and left unconscious in his sleigh. The horses continued .their jour- ney 'to, the village and finding - an open shed door, took shelter for the night. Stephen was discover- ed the following morning and died a few days later from the brutal attack. Nearly everyone remembered Mrs. Lavina Newans of Eelmore, for she had papered most of their homes during the 33 years she was . in business. Her claim to fame as a paper -hanger began in 1913 when she was called in to help a neighbor paper the walls of her home. It was such a success- ful job that invitations to do other houses came in and it' was not long before she was asked to paper hotel rooms and even a church. Audiences always gathered to watch Mrs. Newans as she deftly pasted paper and` brushed it smoothly on the walls or ceilings. Often this made her nervous and it was with great restraint that she kept-from,throwing the paste brush at the crowd.

Turnberry can boast' of having produced men of fame and dis- tinction. There was Keppel Dis-• ney who brought up a family of eleven children. In 1879 he took his family to Kansas and some years later, his grandson, Walt, was born." It was tn1949 that Walt Disney brought his wife to Turn - berry to, see the house where his father had. been, born. • .Farming has always been one of the large industries of Huron county and the maple sugar bush. has provided many a farmer with another source of income. Self- propelled combines have re- placed the old steam engine of yesteryear and women no longer work outside as they once did. Bees of all kinds for men and women were once part. of rural life, and left • •a warm feeling of happy companionship. ' There were wood -cutting bees' • and corn -husking bees, both de- signed to provide a good appetite. Women enjoyed quilting and rag 'bees where local news was ex- changed. Later in the evening there was always ,someone with a fiddle and a song to sing and so ended another well spent day. Family life was treasured and close knit, for therewas not any outside attraction to disrupt. the ties. Do you remember grandpa's mustache cup? It is now an an- tique and kept well out of reach of the fingers of the ifewest genera- tion. And there was grandma's straw hat which•she made herself and wore for many summers. Ah! how the memories fly and everyone 'is filled with nostalgic longings.. .' Life went by at a slower pace, but it was full and varied and had meaning. Perhaps in years to Tome we will sit 'back and remi- nisce.about the big blizzard of the Seventies. Transportation need for. area is stressed Council expressed disgust once again at the lack of transporta- tion serving this area and 'com- mented in, uncomplimentary terms about the postponement of the Board of Transport Com- missioners meeting:, at Walker- ton, set for January 27. - Tim Willis asked if any notifi- cation of another such meeting had come in and said council should stress strongly the lack of service and perhaps insist a meeting should 'be held soon. William Harris agreed and told council that an applicant for work at *CKNX had , spent . 10 hours trying to reach Wingham from Welland. Mayor DeWitt Miller was very much in favor of having the Board re -schedule their meeting and said council should' be well represented to emphasize the need for a regular and quicker bus service: L P.

'Currie and Son Funeral Home in Wing - ham, for Lionel Pritchard Ma- hood who died suddenly at his home in Turnberry Township on Saturday, February 5th. Rev.

B,, McXittrick of the Wingham detachment of the Ontario Provjncial Police in- v,estigated two snowmobile acci- dents on Monday of 'last week which injured a Lucknow area woman and a young man from Zurich. Mrs. Geraldine Lippert of RR 1, Lucknow, fractured her right ankle when she caught her right foot on a frozen clump of earth while snowmobiling at Ripley. James McWhinney, 21, of Zur- ich, sprained his left knee when the machine he was riding struck a clump of earth on the 7th con- cession of West Wawanosh Town- ship. Both patients were treated in the emergency ward of the Wing - ham and District Hospital and re- leased. Council approves July street mull In answer to a written request from Wingham Lions Club, coun- cil sanctioned the holding of a street mall July 6,7 and 8, similar' to that operated -last summer. Deputy Reeve Harold Wild pre- sented the motion to approve the event, seconded by George Car - 'ter, but commented that he hoped the Lions would make much bet- ter use of the space.which would be restricted to traffic. William Harris said that unless there were more attractions than the last time, he could see little point in having Josephine Street closed off between Patrick and Victoria Streets. He suggested that the, Lions might indicate a little later what they have in mind and the actual .street space" which would be re- quired. Stock of ice flies through car windshield Marion Willie, 19, of Wingham was the victim of an unusual accident Saturday and received deep lacerations to her scalp and right hand. Following treatment at Wingham and District Hospital she was released, ' Miss Willie was a passenger in a car,,4Fivgn,by" .Len batt which was travelling on Highway 4, about four miles north of Tees- • water and as a truck from the other' direction passed, a large piece of ice fell .from the! truck and went through the windshield of the car.
