When grandmothers went to l they went into another world, and a very artaone for a good army months of the year. They had to he pretty thoroughly clothed and pro- tected if they hoped to awaken again in this. And the streets were not as num- erous in the days of grandmothers as they are to -day, and access to them was much more risky 'and adventur- ous than the access to them to -day. If grandmothers had left their homes clothed in a few yards of silk, the bulk of it being hose, the chances are that when they reached their streets, they wou' d have been less lightly clad -if possible -than the grand- daughters are to -day. When one hasj become a grand- mother -we are speaking of old time grandmothers -one has sounded the depths and reached the age of descre- tion. One has learned that there is more material comfort in covering one's legs rather than one's ears. But no matter how old-fashioned grandmothers may seem in this day to be, we are all for thein. History has proven them. 1FFI R NCE A it'EARS MAKE it short years ago, if West - o h been blessed, or curs- ,, lch ever way you like to look roaitla the blanket of snow under $;;;Aitila it lies this year, ear owners tin long since have come to the un - I il' iQ.ous decision that the cars use- ulleess for a few months, at least, gas passed. They would have been tttored. away in their di erent gar- cges, with the full intention of leav- big them there until spring came hound again once more. Not so to -day. Within these years the Highways Department have been experimenting with snow plows until they have perfected the monster ma- chines that were in operation last year; plows with size and horsepower enough to keep the roads open throughout the whole winter, regard- less of the snow fall. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the snow fall this year was exceptionally early and exceptionally heavy. The weatherman outguessed the 'Highways Department by a month or six weeks, with the result that these plows are still in storage and still lacking the necessary tuning up which they must receive before they will be in fit con- dition to perform the work they ars supposed to do. As a consequence, car owners who during the past two or three years, have come to believe that open roads would be available to them in winter as well as summer, this year find themselves entirely out of luck. All over this district and in every -direction there are cars, trucks and busses stalled in the snow along the road side and from their owners are arising shrieks of protest and wild condemnation of the Highways De- partment. To these are being added the protests of the cities and larger towns, which during the past two or three years have been catering to a business made possible by the car, although coming from far beyond their natural boundaries. Without the plows in winter, cars can not operate, and without the cars this new and growing business would be lost to these centres -entirely lost, because there seems to be a curious, but widespread belief among car own- ers that once a car is purchased, it does not cost anything for him or his family; or even his neighbors, to ride in it. A man will, on the grounds of expense, hesitate to buy a railway ticket once a year to take him or hie family on a shopping expedition to a town twenty miles away, but will drive his car to another centre fifty miles distant, and do it frequently, because he believes he is getting the trip for nothing. One sympathizes, of course, with these truck drivers, these bus owners and these larger centres. A tie up •of cars means real dollars and cents and a lot of them to them. At the same time, one can not help but spec- ulate on the result a carless winter would have on the rural communities at large. Would the wages and money earn - .ed in a community be spent where it really belongs? Would the country merchants get more cash and be ask- ed to give less credit? Would a farmer hitch up a horse three or four times a day to drive into town or drive somewhere else? Or, if he stay - ed home five days a week instead, would the farm or the stock show any improvement on account of his en- forced presence? Would people prac- tise again the difficult art of saving, almost lost through the universal and merry pleasure of spending? Would -anyone make any money? But one, of course, can only specu- late on these things. A luxury soon becomes a necessity. Open roads in winter are no longer looked upon as a luxury to be enjoyed by a few fav- ored centres, the car has made thein a necessity to the many. They are here to stay. What a change in liv- ing conditions just a few years make. THERE ARE REASONS From the New York World we learn that the modern girl wears less on the street than her grandmother wore to bed, and looks better, too. Well, perhaps. From observation, Wove can readily believe that the first part of the statement is true, any- way. As to the latter, grandmother -event to bed so long before our time we don't feel qualifier to make a com- parison (between her attire and that .oft the Street costume of the present, &ay girl. But if one or both of these state- ments are true, there are reasons, many of them, which would go to alnow that grandmother's choice of clothes came largely from necessity, ono -t fro-ni choice.

Remember the Mail Couriers. -Our faithful rural mail couriers, who cov- er close on to 25 miles daily, on their routes through all kinds of weather and roads, are at this season of the year, when the roads are often neither suitable for buggy or cutter, much less a ear, looking forward to the kindness of many patrons who re- member them in their ardous toils at the Christmas season. Nor is it to be wondered at when they are con- stantly performing little acts of kindness to their patrons, in the way of doing many things that they are really not required to do, such as making change, putting on stamps, very often ploughing through unbrok- en roads and unshovelled approaches to mail boxes, etc., that they do look forward to being remembered. Par- ticularly so when they hear of mail distributors in the large centres, who make their service on nice sidewalks and have nothing like the hardships of rural service are generally so gen- erously remembered by their patrons, and which of course, while not nec- essarily given or required, makes the service so much more heartsome. The Young People's League. -The League of the United Church held its regular weekly meeting on Monday evening last when there was a very good attendance, the spacious school room being well filled and there was an excellent literary and musical pro- gramme gotten up 'by Mr. Claude Blowes, Principal of our public school. It was given largely by the smaller scholars of his room and embraced the following numbers: Piano solos by Mary Hemphill, Mildred Follicle; violin solos, Billy Glenn, accompanied by Helen Glenn; girls' chorus, "Smiles," Miss Buchanan accompan- ist; recitations by Ruth Coles, Olive Lemon, Margaret Kennings and Keith Buchanan. These excellent numbers were followed by selections of the orchestra composed of Scott Welsh, Ferris Cantelon, accompanied by Florence McDonald; minute speeches, Norman Sinclair, subject, "St. An- drew"; Bobbie Passmore, subject, "What I would do if I had a million dollars"; vocal duets by Minnie Sang- ster and Kathryn Drysdale accom- panied by Gladys Luker; "Character Poses" by Norman Sinclair, Harold lldggins, Roy Brock and Bobbie Pass- more. At the .close of this very in- teresting programme in which e.11 the young people took their parts won- derfully well, a dainty lunch was serv- ed and treats distributed to the chil- dren who took part in the programme. The singing of the national anthem brought the meeting to a close. Briefs. -The annual thank offering of the W.M.S. of the United Church ,will be held next Sunday morning, when Miss Florence Rawlings, return- ed missionary from South Africa, will have charge of the service. Miss Rawlings has been engaged in mis- sion work in Africa for a number of years and her address is being looked forward to with great interest. Our business men report trade as quite brisk, the heavy fall of snow being a factor in bringing many in from the farms, while produce of all kinds finds its way to market in quite large quan- tities. -Rev. J. Mcllroy, following his course of special sermons, will have the following subjects on the coming Sunday, December 8th. At the morn- ing service at 11 a.n9.
