Ontario Winter Speaks
The younger folks who did not
have the privilege of living back in
the 80's and 90's and indeed some
who did live then believe I am more
severe than I used to be. This is a
mistaken idea for I used to give more
sewere and longer continued storms,
deeper snow, and lower temperatures.
Notwithstanding all this the roads
were never blocked, and lean but
well fed teams could be seen every-
day hauling large loads of Iogs and.
wood to town. I am very sorry in-
deed for all the distress and suffer-
ing caused by traffic accidents and
for sick folks to whom a Dr. could
not get, and for the multitudes of
Easter week visitors who were
stranded along the way and had to
turn sorrowfully homeward. Many
other distresses were caused by the
bard conditions of the roads. Now I
wish to clear myself :pf the blame
for all this. It has always been my
custom and always will be to deposit
deep snow in sheltered places and
when a ridge of snow is formed along
the edge of the road by use of the'
snowplow I drop more snow in the
shelter of that ridge. Many bad
things have been said about me and
my end anxiously looked for, ase 1
leave you now with my eyes cast
downward realizing. that I am not ap-
preciated. but I will return to you
i:n, cheerful Mood next -fall,

CHARLES A. ROBERTSON
A Man of the People
In the passing of Mr. Charles A,
Robertson the connnunity has lost a
man who in his various spheres of
activity sought to do his duty. First;
as a farmer on the home farm, where,
ho sought to enrich the soil and
beautify the property, then, when
called to the Township and County
Councils, he studied the many prob-
lems that cane up in municipal af-
fairs and sought a workable solution',
and Iater, when a larger field opened
to him as a member of the Legis-
lature, he gave himself umstintedly
to the interests of the people of his
constituency. The people felt that in
him they had a friend who understood
the needs of the country. He was, an
early advocate of reforestation and
while he was reeve of Colborne the
plot at the north of the township
cemetery, toe wet for burials, was
planted to young trees that are a
good size today. For fourteen years'
Mr. Robertson held the confidence of
the people of this constituency, and
only his un£ortunate.illness and death
brought to an end tie happy relation-
ship between ,`'the people •eand their
representative.-Goderieh Signal -Star.
