Spring' Around the Corner?
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. Their furniture which was
stopped at Exeter en route from
Brantford, arrived last Friday. They
moved into the Rectory on Tuesday
evening and are getting settled. We
welcome•them to the village. Weath-
er and roads permitting, there will
be service in the churches throughout
the parish on Sunday.
Trinity Guild and W.A.
A• joint meeting of the `Guild and
WA. of Trinity Church was held at
the home of Mrs.. N. W. Woods on
• Thursday. The meeting was opened
by the president. Mrs. Emerson
Heard, and the various reports were
read by the secretaries and treasurer.
Plans were discussed for the summer
bazaar and the outfit for the Indian
girl at St. Paul's ,Sehool, Blood Re-
serve. At the'"elose of the meeting
refreshments were served by mem-
bers.
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

were no trains for several days and the

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

rather a pearl button. A person tan
look through a hole in the ice and
see the fish and the stones at the
bottom.

HOG AND CHEESE
(SUBSIDIES GO SOON
KENNEDY PREDICTS
Hog .and •cheese subsidies may be
removed "in the not too distant'
future," Agricultural Minister Ken-
nedy said in the Ontario Legislature
Monday.
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-
