We got it all right . , but i: wasn't "just a little." Now the lane has filled in to much for me to attempt taking the car out—although I noticed a picture M. the paper the other day Showing a little English car like ours making its way gaily through deep snow while bigger cars were getting stuck. Just for fun 1 would like to see what our car would do, In fact, I would try it if it were not for giving Partner the trouble of hauling me out, sup- posing I got stuck. Right now I am working with one ear cocked for a telephone earl as we are expecting visitors this week-end—and frankly, I am little worried. Trying to heat the house against high. winds and zero temperature is hard enough when wa, are alone but to have visitors and not be able to keep them warm and comfortable is a headache. For one thing people altvays feel the cod more away from home, as they are naturally lese active with co ordinary eveey-day chores to do. Well, for goodness sakes, it isn't a telephone call I am getting at all, but our visitors themselves. At feast this ver' minute a taxi is • hugging up the lane. --whether it. gets through oe not is a question. •35:e for now. forepsind e as nritten Iri- dee t:igitt, \nat. fol!ows is one of tio,e. dreadful traeedie, that some- times strikes wit!! unbelievable swiftness. Partner's ro'•ir Colin and his Jeesie arrived C.7i caw doorstep, earefree and Leone. epparently in tine best of healtii and prepared to enjoy a quiet famile ek-end. We sat around talking until neatly • eive o'clock and then :tent to bed, Sometime durine the night Colin called out to int -"Conte eti, come and look at Jessie . there's sometinag t.rc.ng . she ean't speak to me". There was iedeed ou(-thing wrong.

Preparations included getting a cm:plough to open tne lane; an ambulance to tailie: to hospital: long distance calla to ler daugh- er:, and to maintain a cOniAallt atCli at her bedside. Tly ten next morning jeesie was in hospital bed and receiving the best of care. Colin came back to dinner as he felt he was only in Ile way and could be no help at an. Shortly after dinner he was recalled to the hospital . . .his wife was sinking fast. Hurry . . . how we wanted to burry! But the car watuldn't start -12 below had been too much for it. There are ail kinds of taxis in town but not one could we get. Colin started out walking, I followed half -an -hour later. At the hospital we sat V f essie'a bed—watching and waiting ,—,,wondering if it would be too late when the girls arrived. The hu-; was, due hi at 3 eelocl---it was 10'11 minutea late—jnat when evcry minute counted. One daughter was in time but not the other neg.. Betty arrived by plane from Notent Bay. Joy and I drove to ltlainoi. fetch her. But there we ran difficulties again. Know -i' could not be there in time e had telephoned ahead to have her paged and advised to wait until we carne. She did not get the call and had gone on to Toronto. Po: means af a lot of telephone calls between the airport and Toronto we finally located her and she came back to Idialton, So now we all three are here; our daughter came with one of the girls from Toronto and Bob arrived fritts Matheson during last night. The funeral On \Vehescia i so I need hardly say how busy Nre expect to be from now until then. What struck us as all so very forcibly at the tithe is the amazing kindness of our friends and neigh- bours. Jessie was only known to a few of thein yet there are offers of help in the way of aceomodatioo and extra baking corning from so. many quarters. Sometimes we are inclined to think• that in this day and age people everywhere seem to. be growing apart but in a crisis -we find there is still plenty of kindness—just as much k.ind- ness and help as there always NM S. And we are very deeply touched and appreciative. It is something we shall alw-ays remember, To Cohn and Ids family it has meant a lot,—to know that Jessie's last resting place will be among kind and friendly people.
