Are you old enough to
remember the days when no one
drove a car in the winter? Come
the first big snowstorm and you
wheeled the old jalopy into the
garage, let the air out of her tires,
jacked her up onto four big blocks
of wood and you left her there
high and dry to await the re-
surrection of April. If you weren't
the hibernating kind and youin-
sisted on travelling the winter
roads, you did it the sensible way
— with a horse with a string of
bells bouncing off his back and
enough sense to know that the
proper way to keep himself warm
on an Arctic night was to show a
little speed.

But, you may ask, weren't
there any snowplows in those
days? Sure there were snow-
plows, but they were drawn by
horses and their job was to make
roads for horses. The object was
not to clear the road of snow. You
needed that snow for sleighing, so
after a storm the plow merely cut
two furrows through the drifted
road, these furrows being the
exact width of the runners of a
sleigh or cutter. There was none
of this "wide track" stuff then.
Every sleigh and every cutter in
the Dominion had the same spac-
ing between runners. And if you
were driving a team, the horses
were hitched so that one animal
would walk in one furrow and one
in the other. If you were courting
or going to church, or if you were
one of these progressive people
who had to get somewhere in a
hurry, you probably drove a
single horse — a fast one prefer-
ably — hitched to a cutter, and
such a nag would be hitched off
centre and to the left. •
Now I can't tell you much about
what it was like to use a cutter to
get to church or to consumate
some great business deal, but I
can vouch for the fact for court-
ing the old horse and cutter com-
bination was in a class all by it-
self. First, no matter how shy or
reluctant the damsel might be,
she just couldnt shrink herself
our of reach. The seat just wasn't
wide enough for that. And
besides, she had to keep close to
keep warm.
Then there was that big fur
robe which was always part of
cutter equipment then.
Remember it? It would be made
from bearskin or buffalo or a
Gallows hide. It was supposed
to" cover only your knees but it
was always so big that you and
the girtcould just disappear from
sight under it — if she would con-
sent, that is — and before the
night was over she generally did
consent. Mine did anyhow. Even
the Presbyterians.
Now you city people might
wonder how you could drive when
you were both covered up with a
quarter acre of buffalo robe, but
it was quite simple. You just
wrapped- the reins around the
dashboard andlet the horse do
his own driving. All he had to do
was to follow that rut the plow
had dug out for him. Accidents?
Yes, sometimes. But . these were
uch more likely to result from
overdoing the courting than from
running afoul of traffic. If you
didn't see the other guy ap-
proaching and he did't see you,
you might lock cutters or even
upset. But chances were that he
couldn't bawl you out about it
because he too had been courting
under the robe with the reins
thrown over the dashboard.
Honest now, did the coming of
the plush -lined automobile do
anything for the love game?
Even if it had a heater in it? And
a radio? And a back seat?

Agricultural Tidbits
With Adrian Vos
Those .of you who have been
reading my writings for some
time know that I have deplored
the waste and destruction of food
producing land. Therefore it
made me very happy that the
delegates at the annual meeting
of the Ontario Federation of Ag-
ricllture agreed with me.
4 was agreed that farmers
have the duty to point out to the
government and to the public that
once land is destroyed, it can't be
recovered. However, following
this, it is the duty of society as a
whole to see that the burden of
preserving food producing land is
not born by the farmer alone. It
was argued that our Northland
should be opened up for industry
and that a permanent freeze
should be put on any change in.
the. use of class one and two land.
With food shortages in many
parts of the world it is immoral to
destroy even one acre of land.
Society should cry out loud when-
ever this happens. .
Some argued that a retiring
farmer should be able to build a
house on a corner of his old farm.
I say that this should only be
allowed when this is an unpro-
ductive corner, and in order to
protect the next owner it should
be far enough from the livestock
buildings so it won't interfere
because of possible smells. Mind
you, I hope to be one of those, re-
tiring farmers myself sometime.
Did you know that Ontario has
only 10 million acres of land left?
B.C. led the way in Canada by
putting all good agricultural land
in a reserve. At the same time
they said that now that the far-
mer is locked in agriculture, he
has to be guaranteed a decent
income so he can provide for his
old age without having to sell his
farm to a developer. Over there
they have seen food imports from
California dwindle to next to
nothing and even imports from
Mexico are goingdown because
6n the way up it is gobbled up by
California. Some day we will be
in the same position with the food
brought in from Florida, and we
better be ready to produce our
own food.
YOUR HANDWRITING TELLS
Vertical slant
reflects coolness
By DOROTHY
ST. JOHN JACKSON
Certified Master
Graphoanalyst
Dear Dorothy:
I have been married 15
years, have three children
and a loving husband. My life
is interesting and full, but
since turning 30, I have, in the
past few years had four
lovers: I really don't under-
stand this change in my
morals, as I really do love my
husband best. Is this a person-
ality traitor should I really be
able to control this desire for
variety and other experi-
ences?
L.B.
Dear L.B.: '
A good marriage never
comes wholesale. It's retail,
all the way.
Seems that you've been dis-
counting a pretty valuable
item. You've let your husband
down • to build your personal
status in your own mind. Bas-
ic insecurities have caused
you to fall prey to anyone who
will accept you for what you
are. You withdraw from
normal situations to satisfy
your ego hunger, seen in the
consistently squared off lower
loops (seen in y above) .
Your reserved nature, seen
in your vertical slant, com-
bined with a lack of diploma-
cy reflects a coolness toward
others. You want love but you
don't know how to give it.
Maybe your husband misun-
derstands that part of you
which reaches back into the
years of your life.
You are trying to keep your
ego happy by an escape from
reality. You have set yourself
up as a paragon. You can do
no wrong, and no one can do
wrong to you, seen in the too
small- t's. Maybe this makes
you feel comfortable with
yourself, but, it, also, makes
you do unfair, things to other
people.
You _yield easily to anyone
who'll polish your image, seen
in the soft rounded s's, and
you have little or no restraint,
seen in the wide spacing be-
tween letters and words.
If you still love your hus-
band best, then take a good
long look at your sense of val-
ues, and seek the aid of your
family physician. Marriage is
not an easy business at best,
but, infidelity can bomb it to
bits.
