On Sunday last Mrs, Dolph
Sopha of this highway, in eom,
pany with Mr. and. Mrs.
Dietrich and family, of Zurich,
motored to Windsor to spend
the day with members of the

They returned to their homes

In the dying hours of the
cold month of February many
are looking back at the ground-
hog predicition. If his shadow
unseen on the February 2nd
day proves anywhere near ac-
curate then the hibernating
groundhog will come out of his
den underground and make his
full appearance which will give
us hope of an early spring,
which will be welcomed by all,

On Sunday afternoon last a
group of bays and girls of
school ages, others in their teen
years, and as well others in
their more advanced ages, gath-
ered at the Bayview summer
resort where nature had pre-
pared a large space of clear ice,
and mostly all had their skates
to take part. We are told the
skating party last till the late
afternoon or nearly sunset for-
getting the time; the group of
between 40 and 50 fans; for
their late hour -on the ice caused
a little disagreement with moth-
ers who had prepared an early
evening meal were disappointed
for their -delay, and if we un-
derstand some of the mothers
if such happened again the skat-
ing sports will have to prepare
their own lunch. Mothers claim
they want Sunday to rest and
relax. Do you agree?

me writing about our working
team, ten men in all and a
team of hares, that formed a
lumber gang in a camp. If all
worked together it would be
agreeable to all, each helping
one another.
You perhaps also remember
me telling you of Pete Mur-
raury, the teamster in our gang.
He was French and very much
for some reason against the
Irish race and since Jack the
Ripper was Irish and proud of
it, he was an enemy to Mur-
raury and that meant that either
had any love for one another
and it took very little to brew
up trouble in our gang.
I was the next one that Mur-
raury took for Irish and, of
course, I fell in the same line
as Ripper, an enemy to Mur-
raury. Many times I could hear
Murraury talking to the Pillot
gang and the skidway men; I
can not believe that Murraury
hated our person for he had no
reason to, his only excuse with
the nationality, Why, 1 call not
tell you.
One day I heard hien say —
of course in French—to Prew
and Hays, the skidway men,
that some things were going to
hatch out so that he would find
a complaint about my work and
report it to Bostwick, the fore-
man. He won that point but
that went against him. When
he made wild advances against
me, he missed out on his move-
ment. That gave me the right
spot to stand on, to defend my-
self and my rights. True, I was
young at the time but after al-
most three months of hard work
and plenty of red meat and
baked beans and other nourish-
ing food to give me strength
and as well, weight, within my-
self I felt able to accomplish
what I did. When I got through
with him he was minus a cou-
ple of grinders.
When he arrived at the skid -
way to report the fracas which
had taken place between he and
I, he was still cursing • and
swearing when telling his story
about the hatred he had for us
by Irish; that was quitting time
and on Saturday. Ripper and I
walked up to the skidway when
he was still in an uproar. I
walked up to him and spoke in
French to him. He stood dumb
for some time.
This little rift happened on
Saturday at quitting time, he
reported me on Sunday and on
Monday morning both I and
Murraury were ordered to Bost -
wick's office. I thought sure I
would be fired, but nay.
