The “Traveler” startea off on his journey from London and comment­ ed that you “cannot avoid noticing the fine roads (in dry weather), the comfortable and in many cases taste­ ful farm residences and farms, ap­ parently under thorough cultivation, and mented, “The land in this township must be good, for it makes excellent mud.” The next point of interest was Exeter, 10 miles north of Ireland.

East of McGillivray was Bid-1 dulph, “presenting no object of in­ terest, excepting its fine soil, and the smoking and drinking of its people.” Usborne, to the north, he found to be quite a new settlement, for there were “no roads comfortably passable after going eastward of the Goderich road three miles.” The road on which he was travelling was probably very rough, for he com- Such poverty of its Highlanders Uist on the No Happiness in the Home — ■■ a n MWhen Mother is Sick The tired, worn o.ut mother cannot make a happy home if she is sick and worried by the never ending household duties.She gets run down and becomes nervous and irritable, downhearted and discouraged, can’t rest at night, and gets up in the morning feeling as tired as when she went to bed.

His comment on Bruce- field is applicable to them all, “There is nothing worthy of note here, the village consisting of the usual small shops, uncomfortable taverns, etc., characteristic of this part of the country.” Turning west he drove 10 miles through good farm district to Bay- field, and came in sight of Lake Huron, which “lay enshrouded in a bluish mist peculiar to our mildest ‘Indian summer,’ which confines the view to a few rods of the shore.” Here was a busy scene—“a caravan of farmers’ wagons, laden with wheat, the staple of this part of Canada, stood awaiting their turn for unloading into the already cram­ med warehouses.” He added that “Bayfield is only a small place, but owing to its better harbor, does' more business by water than any of the ports north of it, not excepting Goderich.” Twelve miles to the north was Goderich, “Which while much older is not guite as large as Ingersoll, but having some good public build­ ings and being laid out in a some­ what hexagonal form with the streets all centering on the ‘Court House Square’ and said streets being very wide, presents a rather pleasing ap­ pearance.” He found, however, that its prosperity had been retarded “by the grasping and illiberal spirit of the incubu, the ‘Canada Company,” which owning the neither made it a s lowed others to do The journey as had been made in northward we back as the passable with the soil poor, mens of beech and hemlock. ‘ road lies through the woods, miles unbroken except here and there by a small clearing containing the log house of the pioneer and some­ where along here lies the town of Annan, that is to be, but it would ‘Come in I told you’!” fol- the the 11, harbour has safe one or al­ so.” far as Gederich a carriage ‘‘but must travel on horse­ roads are quite im- a vehicle.” He found and only dwarf speci- “One 20* Hello Homemakers!

In our opinion Hewitt is the only broad­ caster of hockey games worth list­ ening to. He knows the game; he knows the players. He gives you, to the best of his ability, a true and unbiased account of what is taking place on the ice. Hewitt’s job is a tough one. He sits on the gondola far above the ice and he has to be able to know the players and spot from second to second what they are doing.
