For to me the month of November has had the most in common for me whenmany incidents took place. Some were :pleasing to me while others saddened me taking place at different epochs of my life. When still in my teen years my ambition was to knock about in the world—not for leisure sake, no, but to see the parts •of the country and to meet with different classes of people from the lowly to the highest in society, to_le:arn their ways of living and :their mode of dressing, and their ways of meeting the public. In fact the .greatest happen- ing to me occurred in the month of November and, if privileged for publication in your paper, sir, I will try .and enlighten my thoughts together with the in- cidents which took place in dif- ferent months of November. The first, :as aforesaid, in. No- vember, 1894. Away back almost out of memory in the November month of the year of 1894 I launched out my first adventure late lin the month. I believe nearing the end of the third week. I broke the news to my parents and to other members of the family, of my intentions. It was a shock to them and, of course, like all good parents they tried to upset nny plans, but since I had made a firm decision they failed in their trial. In those days money was scarce but during the fall I had worked for different farm- ers such as helping to harvest their potatoes and other farm work. When I had summed up to- gether my full earnings I had in my possession the sum of four dollars and seventy-five cents, which at that time was big to me. Alas the day and Crop Report The prolonged wet weather, recently accompanied by snow, continues to hinder corn harv- esting and plowing. Many streams and drainage ditches are nearly at spring level, Because of the miserable weather conditions, practically all livestock are now stabled in preparation for the winter sea- son. While quality will be lower because of weathering, most stored feed supplies appear to be adequate for the winter feeding period. Commenting about 1967, many "old timers" have been heard to say that, in their mem- ory, they have "never seen the like" for rain and difficult harvesting conditions. present. Albert Miller was ap- pointed president and Ervin Eckstein secretary -treasurer, A film on the work in Japan, "Under the Red Pagoda" was shown. Rev. Andrew Brndjad, Bible Society representative, spoke of the work in Japan. Rev, Mer- rill James and Rev, E. E. Stein- man both spoke briefly, time had come and slowly I packed my clothes in a black cloth bag which belonged to my mother. All were speechless, even the family dog showed signs of disturbance in the home. Alas 1 rose from my chair and bid them goodbye. Parkhill was the nearest rail- way station and that was 12 miles from my home. This was my starting point which I had to walk to, as in those days walking was the means of travelling. They were weeping in the home and for me it was hard to conceal my grief. My moth- er followed me half way to the roadway pleading for me to abandon my plans, but I only had a deaf ear to her plea. I knew that I was causing grief but I also knew that time would cure. I treaked the distance of 12 miles to the station men- tioned in plenty of time to catch a passenger train, After talk- ing to the station manager he gave me encouragement by tell- ing ,me to go to Collingwood, which I did.
