Round sn' About With Martha P!>ethbiorrs Our taste of winter over the weekend was most plea sant, f11h,1 didn't care for the windshield scraping in the icy wird Friday night, but ice, wind or sleetwill will never daunt a "Bridger", 1 Sunday was just beautiful (and I got Mr, R. out of the house) and most of our snow melted, The first icy blast reminds me of .la first winter in f odeerkh - a shiver runs up my spine! We arriv- ed here inNovember 1946-a cold windy day but later So - meow assured me the winterswere nice – "Yon can always get around",Lit- tle diel 1 know that 194647 winter was to be one that even the Minters gave top W o lived on Wilson Street near Britannia goad and 1 woad walk 66uptown° 'in about 15 minutes, turn at South Street to The Square, gel to the butcher and grocery shops and return home via South Street mod Britarmia Vesta. On or fourth trip that November 1 was a little braver and in a big hurry so deeided to take a shortcut by way of Mon- treal Street —I think.

Oh, son Doug, about 15 or 16 years ofd then was with us and more than once, he and I would be pushing the car to prevent it sliding sideways into the ditch- what a trip! • At one point when the motor wouldn't start, Doug headed Jacek towards a far- mhouse he'd seen hoping they had a tractor.
