Old Sol is getting rid of the snow in fine fashion this week, and it looks as if Spring might be just' around ,the corner. While we were letting bad joints sok up the sun's healing rays in the sun !perch on Tuesday, a honey bee flew against the window and crawled around the panes seek an in vain an entrance. And at the hack of the garden lilac buds, full and green, are peeping out of a snowdrift. We also heard crows, but they appear to have been false. prophets this year so we are keep g our fingers -crossed. Welcomed to Rectory Bev. and Mrs. Laverne Morgan and baby daughter Karen, who have been visiting in Watford, during the storm, arrived in the village on Mon- day night and stayed at The Albion Hotel.

Women's Organizations The Women's organizations of the United Church met on Thursday of last week at the home of Mrs. 112. Toms, with some 20 women present, made their weekly rounds on their '®i'`"'""' respective days. So all in all we AUBURN really didn't suffer much in the vil- lage unless for avant of reading the daily papers. The first mail of the'week arrived about half -past seven r on Friday evening. (Keith Brandon had waited all day in Brucefieid fora mail truck and just arrived back at the Post Office when, he got word to return to Brucefield'for snail). Post Office clerk, Bertha Sturgeon, assisted by Ellen IVIaoKay, sorted the .letters and Friday's papers that n'ig'ht and lis, tributed them to waiting patrons. And the following day they sorted 25 bags of parcels and papers. They report it worse than any Christmas rush. Fortunately, there was no ill - nese while Bayfield was cut off from Clinton. The school. bus commenced run- ning again on: Friday via Bmucefield and is still routed that way. God- erich Township pupils have been meeting the bus in Bayfield. Bayfield Public School was open all through the storm although some of the pupils from S.S. No. 8, God- erich Township, were absent for a few days, as Spencer Ervine who but not in Bayfield: drives the school bus was not able The writer has not yet reached to make the trip until the end of the the half -century ,nark and in her youth she remembers following 'a horse-drawn snowplow to school when it was .drifting in so quickly that although she could occasionally catch a glimpse of the driver ahead, the snow was up to her knees in the freshly plowed ;path. That was in March 1912, after an unusually open season in January and' February. • And enother year, about 1918 stands main her memos ir. That year there were no trains for several days and the late Jas. ,S'entehmer, who was driving stage, was ;•storm -stayed at Bruce- days. 'When he for several Bruce - field '� finally got through to Bayfield it was between_ three and four o'clock in the morning and people along the route were anxious for Inc safety., Last week's storm certainly piled up some high drifts in spots but cars were running lar the village on the main thoroughferes all week: And that without the aid of a snow- plow! Some of the more venturous drivers with older model ears just stepped on the gas and went right through the drifts. Perhaps those who suffered most were the babies as the milk supply ran out• Sander's Dairy, Goderich, sent in 200 lbs. of milk by Pilot Keith Hopkinson in his ski -equipped light plane on Thursday. (This was a far cry from the days when almost every household in Bayfield boasted a cow whichsupplied the family with milk and butter and mowed the village streets in the summer). It was such an event that the school teachers gave the pupils leave from school and William Parker took both pupils and teachers down to the river to sec the plane, which had landed on the ice. The Apfelbeek Home Bakery diel a big business through the week. Farmers came in on horse back, with teams of horses (which had to be dug out of the snow in some cases on the Goderich ,Road, and in one Allot in Goderich ' Township. wire fences were cut five times in a anile to allow horse-drawn vehicles through the fields. (The old .rail fences of early days loaned them- selves more readily to this practice than the modern wire fences. People even came in by car from Varna and they all went .back laden with the staff of life for themselves and their friends. The yeast was getting low but on Thursday Lalle- mand's light truck came through from Stratford in the afternoon and brought a fresh supply. Then, • se Friday, milk come in by truck via Clinton and Brucefiekl. A Standard Brands twin -engined plane chartered by British American Oil, flew a supply of Fleischman's yeast from Toronto and dropped it on Lindsay Smith's field about one o'clock. As previously. arranged with the B.A. agent, Giant Turner and Reg. Fran- cis, assisted by Russel Davison and E. Kirkham, outlined a patch of snow with waste oil and lighted enmdges. The pilot reported that it was the easiest place to locate as it was so well marked.

Fishing Through Ice Some of the local sports have been fishing through the ice lately. George Little has built two cabins and they are able to fish from these cabins which have been taken out on the lake. Herring is being caught. To catch this fish they use . no bait but rather a pearl button. A person tan look through a hole in the ice and see the fish and the stones at the bottom.

In asking second reading of his bill to extend the subsidies into 1947, Me. Kennedy said: "The trend today is toward dropping subsidies, and al- lowing commodities to find their own levels, and. the time may come in the not too distant future when the necessity for retaining bog and cheese subsidies will no longer exist.', However, the minister cited the shortage of feed in Britain and pre. veiling prices for hogs ars the main reasonswhy the subsidies would not be lifted at the ,present time. "The need for supplying all the food we ppssibly can for the people of Britain is greater now than even during the war," Mr. Kennedy said. "1 am happy to say that •the farm- ers of Ontario maintained hog pro- ductionon as higher level than any of . the other provinces in the Do- minion. While other ,provinces drop• ped as low as 54 per cent of the 1945 level, Ontario kept up to 98 per cera during 1946." Ontario fanners pre timed 500,000 more hogs than the secondhighest province, Alberta. 'Ontario produced 41.1 per cent grade "A" hogs and 42.7' grade ' 11±,' a total of 83.8 ,per cent of the hogs of export 'trade.
