few miles away. Furthermore he's been,
there for almost a year. What a shock to
discover the• community changed without
your knowledge! Was your face red?
If cities confuse we country drivers, I'll
bet rural roads frighten city people. The
trails must seem long and lonely.
The other day stood in front ,of the
general store in Holmesville. A lady drove
up and asked me where. she could find
Holmesville. "This is it," I told her.
Then she pointed up one road and
inquired, "Does that lead to some farms?"
"Yes, it does."
"Well, is the swinging bridge up
there?"
I almost blurted out, "What swinging
bridge?" Instead, 1 suggested that she
drive a little further and ask some people
up the road.
When she left, she still looked worried. I
understood how she felt, and I thought I
had failed her. If she found a swinging
bridge, she knows more about the area
than I do.
Each time we ask for assistance we
gamble. Clear directions seem like a
life-saver; garbled instructions spell
disaster.
Occasionally we receive a stony glare or
a negative grunt, but most people try to
help. Some stutter while they search for
the correct words; other blush when they
admit they don't know.
We feel frustrated, angry or amused.
We're certain we could do a better job. But
when the tables are turned and we're
asked for directions, we realize it isn't
easy. Then it's our turn to stammer.

keeping up with orders that come
in quicker than she can possibly
cope with. Stafford Stephenson is
no relation to Mary. Born the son
of George Stephenson in Stanley
Township, he worked for many
years in and around Seaforth until
1940; when he left for Woodstock.
He said that Seaforth always felt
like home to him and the quilt will
be treasured as a memory of the
very happy years he spent in this
area.

took 13 days to do the' actual
quilting after many hours Of
selecting and preparing the
materials. Her_ labours were well
rewarded by the sale of over $250
worth of raffle tickets. The money
went info the restoration work

After driving in circles for hops , a lost
person finally seeks help. "Can you tell me
how to get to Baker Street?" he queries.
How frustrating if the answer is no!
Sometimes he hears complicated
instructions that only add' to his confusion.
Deciphering directions isn't always easy.
On the other hand, giving ditections can be
difficult and often embarrassing.
Have you ever forgotten the name of a
street on which you travel almost daily?
Following a certain route becomes a habit
for us, and we automatically turn at the
right corner. Reaching our destination is
simple, until someone asks for specific
directions.
I've spent my whole life on a farm in
Goderich Township, nixie miles from
. Clinton, nine miles from Goderich and
about eight miles from Bayfield. By now, I
should be accustomed to giving directions
from each town.
My lingo inevitably sounds like this:
"Follow Highway #4 from Clinton and turn
left at the fourth corner. No, wait a minute.
Maybe it's the third corner, I forget the
number of the county road. Anyway, follow
the gravel road for about three miles. Well,
guess it's closer to four miles."
- I can drive to town almost as fast as I can
count the crossroads in my mind.
Summer is our buSiet season for giving
directions. People look for orchards and
trailer camps. Fortunately, most of the
orchards are located on the same road. I
send the tourists to that concession and tell
them to take their pick.
Has someone asked' you lately where
"so-and-so" lives and did you reply. "No
one by that name lives around here"?
In a week perhaps you learned that
"so-and-so" lives only a few blocks or a
