Everyone who came, old and young, and all who carried burdens, received good big cakes of gingerbread. Folks cae for ( EGMONDVILLE WA AND WMS miles to . see the procession, and Wordsworth never missed -He and the- Rydal party would sit in a lit- tle room and watch the procession start. Rushbearing is a great time in Ambleside. The festival keeps its beauty, its merrymaking, and its worship, and keeping these it keeps 'its- meaning too. In the northeast corner of the church is. Wordsworth's "chapel," strictly. a transept, for the, original idea of a chapel was never carried' out. • The windows are in memory of Wordsworth and four women members of his family. The chapel was built and the windows given by friends of the poet, both Ameri- can and English. The Ambleside register began in 1642. The early records take the form of small pieces of parchment with baptism's on one side and weddings and burials on the other. When filled another piece of parch- ment was taken and joined to the full one with ordinary cotton. That process was repeated until the -re are now three rolls, measuring 71, 7 and 12 yards, respectively. There are also a pewter flagon, cup and alms dishes. Among the Communion plate belonging to the church is the Newton chalice, a silver cup with a steeple cover, which was given to the church in 1684. This can only be seen on application to the Vicar. Tucked away in the trees, near the old road to Ambleside, is Dove Cottage. Here Woodsworth lived from 1799 to 1808. Dora's field at daffodil time is a grand sight and attracts hundreds of people; it ov- erlooks Rydal waters. Rydal is rich in association with the lake poets, and particularly with the Wordsworths. There is an ,old corn mill at Ambleside, built about 1590 A.D. by Gawin Braithwaite, who lived at Ambleside Hall, situated in Smithy Brow. The bridgehouse is .on the grounds, This is a very small house, built over the bridge, and was once used by a potter. In recent 'years it is a souvenir house in season, where one can purchase gifts.

I have en the story signed "Old Timer' "Early Days At Brodhagen" story from Dublin, the one the threatened "invasion" of and many others. There mu many still living who enjoy tales of yesteryear. Several told me how they turn first t "Years Agone" column. Inde sunset draws close to some o we like to travel back on Yo Road, the path we •knew so and loved every inch of it. During the night—last nig lay awake awhile, and I rec the time when rural teleph were installed, and how we 1 to "listen in" on neighbors' ter—it was fun; it was interes and often really educational. I membered a conversation betw Billy Mustard, who was running sawmillat Bayfield, and his fa Alex ("Sandy") Mustard, at Br field, one evening when Billy G back in Stanley, was defea "Sandy" for the reeveship. Elder Mustard was disappoin He felt that he had been down." I recall that while B Glen was a relative of mine an wanted to see him win, yet to deep bottom of my heart I wis that.both could have won. Both them were high-class, honora men. I remember, even now, how "San- dy.." told his son,on the phone that night: "You know, Will. politics is fun- ny, there's no telling how an `elec- tion will go." .. Ma that from experience say, I ve 'found thatersonal to be true, many times in my own life, especially since 1 came through Sarnia tunnel to this Republic some 41 years ago. I used to like to "listen in" on Jim Swan, at weekends, lining up various salesmen throughout West- ern Ontario, telling them the train he Could be in on. how long- he would be with them, and sq on'. Jim was a master salesmanager in his time. He would call Lucan, Parkhill,, Forest, St. Marys, Wing - ham. Brussels—oh, all around: his voice was always full of optimism. "We'll get some orders," he'd say. And then'sometimes some of the women in the. area would get into a little, well, gossip, if you please. Now and then an interesting slice of news would come up. Once in awhile a couple of males in sex would indulge in a little so-called "gossip" too. Quite accidentally, I lifted the receiver one noon hour and found, by her own conversa- tion with another girl, that she had been "stepping out" on me a little—and that sent my youthful blood pressure up to an almost explosive point. This is the kind of dbnversaflon I referred to earlier in this story as "really education- al." • This evening I was thinking about one Saturday morning while hav- ing my hair cut by Fred Manns at Hejsall.

I read where most of Huron County is voting to reopen bars (or beverage rooms) after 46 years, or almost so, of a dry era. This sub- ject is highly and dangerously con- troversial, especially at this stage. But we, in this Republic, had what some called '``this noble experi- ment" foe 'some 15 years, in which, grew up the famous Capone, Jack Dillinger, Costello and other gangs, as well as bootleggers about a mile apart. however, ver,repealn we foundthat the the maie in n thing to watch was—and still is— the type of people who get the new licenses, It is very important.

Seed supplies are pretty low in Ontario, especially the B and C sizes, says G. R. Johnston, potato researcher at O.A.C. This means prices will be on the rise in the next few weeks. When On- tario's geed . supply runs -outr seed - potatoes have to be shipped in from P.E.I,, where supplies are still good. * * * Now 's s the , time to give your grasses s a nd 'legumes that money - paying "shot -in -the -arm" with nit- rogen. Apply it as soon as the grass starts showing green, says Norm Thomas, O.A.C. soils spe- cialist. On pasture you plan to plow up this sur1xli�mer, use 100 pounds of ammonium nitrate or urea. On glow -legume pastures (less• than. 5 per cent legume), use C00 pounds of 16-8-8. * * * Peach growers should try to fin- ish spraying for leaf curl as soon ifas yousspl aye. ywhile ou athee budsnare still dormant, says C. B. Kelly, O.A.C. plant disease' specialist. In- fection conies when spring rains wash spores of the leaf curl fun- gus onto the swelling buds. Early spraying.. cuts down the chances of getting stuck in soft mud too.
