When 1 was a little girl and
heard a motorcar coming clown the
street I would run to see it go by.
I do the same thing now because
cars on our snow -banked roads are
as great a novelty as they were in
those early days. In the mornings
I watch to see if the cars are get-
ting through—we know then wheth-
er it will be possible for our milk
to be collected. 1Ve live on a pro-
vincial highway and every effort
is made to keep it open but there
is still only a narrow cut just wide
enough for a car or truck to get
through, as the snowploughs have
not yet had a chance to use a
wing, so quickly does the snow
fill in each day. Our own car
hasn't been out since Christmas
Eve but Partner has made several
Yips with the sleighs and, John
has walked to town two or three
tines. But I—well, I'm a fair-
weather traveller—I haven't left
the house this year.

There are plenty of stories as a
result of the storm—starting as it
did on New Year's day. Many
people were caught going to, or
from family
"get-togethers" and
had to stay wherever the car de-
cided to stop. :
