There'll a - cele% ion at
Reiwoa Ma:: a 1 next r Friday,
for Arsirew McC:rte :eon will be cel-
ebrating his 101st "uir ^.day. Neigh -
1n 1 rowd into the tittle hone
where he lives witi his youngest son
George, and his daughter-in-law and
grand,inEdren. "Old Andy" will
dance e. ,lig and there will be plenty
of food.
After this jig "Old Andy" will re -
tern to his favorite chair to watch
the fun. His great grandchildren will
crowd around him and direct his
mind t_. the past.
"Grandpa. tell us about the times
you rode with Jesse James," they
will ask. Maybe "Old Andy" won't
hear them very well at first, so the
• children will shout a little louder and
then finally. the old man will smile
and nod and his eyes will mist up a
bit.
"W hen I was a young lad I lived
on my Grandfather's farm near
Mount Forest in Ontario," he may
say. "This fellow came out of the
bush one day. Said his name was
Jesse James. We didn't know he was
a hold-up man. Stayed and worked
at our place two or three weeks.
Seemed a good fellow, I was around
18 years then and he was four or
five years older'n me, Him and me
went riding lets of times. Oh, that
Jesse. Could he shoot? Could take
three nicks out of a squirrel's tail as
be ran up a tree."
The children will laugh as they
always do. This is their favorite
story and they know it by heart.
"What else happened Grand-
father?"
But "Old Andy" will have forgot-
ten and he stamping his foot in time
to the music, The children will per-
sist until he returns to the tale.
Little by little he will tell of
Jesse's prowess with a gun—the wild
pigeons they shot in the peafields,
of the bears and the coons they
brought home. There will be admir-
ation in his voice, undimmed by the
greater part of a century.
It is with sadness and reluctance
he tells the latter part of the story
---of how his grandfather discover-
ed that his new hired man was only
using his farm as a hide-out after a
recent robbery in the States and had
hidden his share of the !riot in the
loft of the barn,
Shortly after this Jesee "borrow-
ed" a horse and rode away. Down
the trail he was joined by an ac-
complice. The two men headed for
Mount Forest where they commit-
ted a robbery and then disappeared.
"Old Andy" shakes his tousled white
head,
"That Jesse sure could shoot," he
always nays.
Andrew McCutcheon was born
near Arthur, Ontario, in 1.852. His
acquaintance with the notorious out-
law Jesse James may he a fact but
there is no record that James or any
member of his gang ever reached
Canada. But, there is a period of
time around 1870 when his wherea-
bouts were never definitely ascer-
tained
Mr, McCutcheon may unknowing-
ly hold the missing link to th eJames
story. His reference to Tesse's age
as compared to hie own is correct as
records show the outlaw was born in
Missouri in 1847.
A. recent research conducted by
the Mount Forest Historical Society
revealed no written record to show
definite proof that Jesse James was
ever in the district but several resi-
dents were convinced of the fact be-
cause of stories which had been
handed down to them from reliable
sources,
The exact location of a shack in
Proton Township, which he once
used as a hide-out, was also estab-
lished,
As a young man Mr. McCutcheon
worked in the lumber woods of Mus-
koka. He helped to make the first
rut roads in this area. Here, he re-
calls many a skirmish with the In-
dians. At one time he was captured
by a marauding band but allowed to
go free after they had stripped him
of all his possessions, He still recalls
with sadness that it was here that he
lost his beloved Bible and hymn book
given to him by his mother,
Later he wandered down through'
the .Northern States where be worked
on small river boats and in the Iron
Mines. In 1839 he was msrried in
LarrIbtan. New Jersey. He moved
to Manitoba in 1596 when they took
r a homestead. In 1915 they moved

He accepts his longevity with ap-
parent t ticeneern. He continues to
enjoy above all three hearty ntea'-s
a day, his pipe, the visits of his
friend —and memories of. the days
when he rode with Jesse James.
Jesse James was born in Mis-
souri in 1847. He joined a Confeder-
ate guerrilla band when he was 15
and participated in the Civil War in
Kansas and Missouri. In 1866 Jesse
and his brother Frank became lead-
ers of a rang of outlaws who ranged
through the central states. At first
they rohhed only banks, but train
robberies were added to their reper-
toire in 1873. Their downfall came
in an attempted bank robbery at
Northfield, Minnesota in 1876, when
they lost several gang members and
were themselves captured and im-
prisoned. They escaped, however,
and Iired quietly until 1879 when
they robbed another train. A. reward
offered by the Governor of Missouri
tempted gang member Robert Ford
and his brother, who caught Jesse
then living as Thomas Howard at
St. Joseph, Missouri) and killed him.
Frank surrendered later, but was
twice acquitted and lived out the rest
of his life on a farm in Missouri. He
died in 1915.

On Nov. 23 the Fireside farm forum
stet at the home of Mr. and Mrs,, Robt.
Dalton with 23 adults present, After
the broadcast. the representatives to
the annual meeting and turkey ban.
(met in Londesboro gave their re•
port. Mrs. Tebbutt, Mrs. Babcock and
Mr. and Mrs. George Carter each told
of certain parts of the program and
night's performance. The goestionaire
on car driving was answered and the
two tapirs discussed at the annual
meeting were reviewed. (1) Ili our op-
inion. the producers in our locality
are receiving value for the money col.
leeted through the "June set-aside."
We have spent very little money for
advertising so can't expect hutch.
(2) We are in favor of collecting
money in a similar way to subsidize
the export of surplus deis')' products.
We think it should be managed by one
board of directors for dairy praduets,
and it be compulsory for all producers,
(3) The majority are opposed to
agricultural price supports in peace
time. There might be special emerg-
envy eases as with the price of beef
last year,
(4) We are in favor of farm organ(-
zations adopting a two price system
whereby surplus products would be
exported at a competitive price and
lower than the price charged on the
hone market.
Better sell the products at a lower
price than keep a huge surplus at
home.
(5) If this system were adopted, we
think it should be administered by a
board comprised of 2/3 farmers and
1/3 of government representatives.
Then we diseussed Rural -Urban ten-
sions. In our neighborhood the vill-
ages and towns are comprised . of
many who were raised or worked on
farms and understand conditions fair-
ly well, .And the farm people have
many close friends and relatives liv-
ing in the nearby towns, so we feel
there is very little tension between
the two classes of people. Any tension
or complaints are due to misunder-
standings.
(1) We do not think food costs
should be lowered unless the mach-
ine:,, and other necessary expenses of
the farmer are lowered.
'2' Mating the facts of farming
better known would help.
(3's We should u'y to understand
the problems of town people.
4t`We might invite town. people to
our forums and farmer gatherings.
,5n We should always realize that
there are two sides to most questions:
approach subjects with an open mind
