Editor,: The Huron Expositor `As the Christmas season rolls around again, " my memory goes }lacko the first such'" seasonI really; recall.It was 1899: My. mother and my three sisters (Bess was a' -year old) and brother came east to stay withus until spring. Well, we all hada part' in the Christmas programme_,at the old: Presbyterian Church. I know 1 recited' the 23rd Psalm; my sister, 1.earl,;,;;delivered some : sort of; an offering, as did Bell and Clauson. Anyway, I 'always remember best the; terrible. show drifts` on the Mus- tard -McDonald" hill on the way` to practice for the concert Christmas Eve: Several ;times the old cutter upset and: we all rolled in the snow. - It 'was.. much now:It'was:much a "clearing" ,till we -hit the hill,' from thereeonavith_orch- ards on both sides and Mustard's, hedge,: ;well' • t • was a*Wful! ; The story was much the sante as re- ported by others . coming in for. -practice too. Those were days, when winters were 'winters indeed. B RNE "HIB ERT - O MUTUAL <FIRE INSURANCE" CO.
