In those days when more speed was wanted the driver did not tramp down with his fort on an accelerator, but cracked a whip with an expert hand over the backs of the slow-moving oxen. This 10 -foot whip has a wooden hand grip, all the rest of it being closely woven rawhide, tapering from about 1L inches at the butt to a point, with a twelve -inch lash on the' end. There is a story connected s'ith this whip. While Mr. Murray lived at Dauphin, Manitoba, he was Child Welfare Officer for fifteen years. The original owner of this whip was arrested by Mr. Murray and was later sentenced to prison for having severely out his little daughter's hip with a blow from the whip. The *an had been constantly threatening his family with the whip and also a re- ---' volver, and both weapons were con- fiscated. On the day the offence was committed, the child had gone out to play in the yard, innocently but disobediently, Without as much clothing as her father insisted she should wear. In a rage hetook don the whip and lashed her -wwhen she stooped to pick up a toy, laying open the tender flesh. HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Have you seen our fresh this week. They have .a dress all their own.

W. A, Jones, rector of St, Thomas' Church, Seaforth, from Tien. Norman Ellis of Brussels;. "All in Seaforth have been inter- ested in the Restoration of St. Thomas' Church. It is only two or three years ago since the Chureh of St. Thomas, Seaforth, was restored, I refer, however, to another St, Thomas Church and another Sea - forth. I have come from one Sea - foie). to another and each one is en- tirely 'different. The Seaforth. 1 know is on the edge of a great city, 1 Liverpool, England. That .Seaforth is a pirate of docks and busy streets, Here is the great Gladstone Dock, ono of the largest in the world, at which the great C.P.R. Liners dis- charge their cargo. Here some of the most famous ships of the British Navy put in during the war. Conse- quently the dock and surrounding • property were badly bombed, and the fires of Seaforth could be seen for many ,riles. Sometimes a family I of six and of five were all killed to- gether in 'the air raids. This Seaforth was once a pretty village, the home of the great Eng- lish Premier, William Gladstone, who built St. Thomas' Church. •Since then, about 100 years ago, it has grown up to be a part of Liver peel, a .place of industry, railways, workshops rows and rows of houses, the last place one would go to for an outing or Sunday School picnic like its namesake in Ontario. "I am wondering if there can be any association of your new Sea - forth with the old one. Many Eng- lish, Scottish, Irish, encl. other names are of course scattered around this area—Walton, Waterloo, Dublin, to quote just a few—but the fact that each Seaforth has a•St. Thomas Ang- lican Church seems as if it might be more than coincidental, when , the 'age of both Churches is considered. Rev. N. Ellis, St. John's Anglican Church, Brussels, Ont. FIND CANADIAN MONEY UNWELCOME IN STATES Mr. and Mrs, Alex. McDonald of McKillop, returned home on Tues- day after spending a week with rel- atives at Grand Rapids, Mich. They found that Canadian ,money was still not welcome in the U.S. de- spite its premium value in Canada. Only at banks can exchange be made, and there only at even money. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald arrived at Grand Rapids station after banking hours, with no one to meet then- and no American money. They found themselves stranded with Canadian money that was refused every- where. Finally through the kind help of the state police and a sheriff's office contact was made with their relatives. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald advise anyone going • over to the States to get American money be- fore leaving the border. They spent a very enjoyable week visiting many cousins in the Grand Rapids area, whose parents went there originally from the twp. ;:of Hibbert.

Gardiner of Eg- mondville United Church united in marriage Margaret Eleanor, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Moore, R.R. 3. Seaforth, and Mr, Robert Julius Beuermann, only son of Reeve and Mrs. Daniel Beuer- mann,•MaKiliop twp. Miss Doris Mc- Intosh, Williamsburg', at the organ played the Bridal Chorus from Lo- hengrin and accompanied Mrs. El- mer Koehler, Walton, sister of the bride, who sang "I'll Walk Beside You."

SOD ROOF • tBy William°Murray) Pioneer conditions in the West during the early days in the 80's and beginning of the 90's led many of the settlers • on their home- steads to live 'under primitive sod roofs. They were warm during the winter months and cool during the hot summer months and wet when a heavy rain storm, came upon them, I am speaking from my own knowledge of the Northern and par- ticularly of the North-West portion of Manitoba where I lived and worked during those years. They were inexpensive to build and a boon to those adventurous spirited settlers who sought to tear up the wild prairie with oxen at- tached to plow and harrow. These communities now. have fine high- ways and farm homes, living in lux- ury. and have made valuable contri- butions to the development of their country. Well do I remember of visiting at a home where I was in vited to stay over night when a bed was made for me under their table and during the night a heavy rain storm came on and the first thing that happened was five children crawled in with me to escape the leaking sod roof which had already drenched them before leaving their bed and during the morning meal several dishes were placed on the table to receive the.water still drip- ping from the roof. This was an ex- ceptional sod roof as most of then, if properly built, would not leak ,except when we bad a two or three days steady rain or after a long dry spell when the sods would shrink and leave crevices, between, Many of these early settlers came from com- fortable homes and settled in the West under these conditions and had built up hones which had made them comfortable once more. i cannot conclude this without . mentioning a poor family who came from Huron County and settled on a homestead which consisted of half prairie and haft bush land, and after entering for his homestead only had five dol- lars left, He had however four cows, and a team of horses and enough provision to keep himself and family for three months. His neighbors turned out and put up a shanty with sod roof and a stable likewise. And as he had no hens they had no eggs. The neighbors supplied them with 'eggs. Close to their building was a large but dead poplar tree where a large hen -hawk built a nest and when this hawk commenced to hatch her eggs, a lad of twelve years climbed this tree and robbed her nest and placed ten. ben eggs that had been given to them by a neigh- bor, in the nest instead and the hen hawk •hatched out their first brood of chickens. This mean's name was Peter McLeod and he bailed from the Township of Tuckersmith. • The old sod roof of the West is a thing long past and gone forever, but should never be forgotten. It sheltered those brave men and wo- men with their families who were always happy and who set forth to build up the growing life of a great West, fine families. Gratefully re- membered by one who came through it all as a Western Pioneer.
