We wish many more happy birthdays. are ahead for him; 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, -'.ONTARIO WINTER.'' :t. .alt • HAYFIELD mr.

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.
