WOODS "This is my Father's world, And to my listening ears, All .nature sings, and round me rings The music pf the spheres." These lines from a well-known hymn by the Rev, 11/Ialtbie D. Babcock were suggested when a friend refused a ride home on a stormy night and said: "I like to walk. It is so nice in the snow and I think of the hymn, "This is my Father's world." Lucy's mind reverted to her childhood. About the only time she can recall not liking the snow was about 60 years ago when a 'heavy fall of wet snow occurred early in October on Fair Day. And so she was not allowed to go tp what was to her the great event of the year in those days — Bayfield's fall fair. Otherwise, the first snowfall was hailed with great delight by the children. Snowballing was the order of the day, but forbidden by Lucy's father in case one went through a window. Lucy and Jean could get their mitts and overstockings wet building snowmen. If it was not too frosty, the snow would roll up nicely. The only thing was it left a patch of dirty, dark green grass on the white landscape. Then there was a depression on what was later the tennis lawn, so that when it thawed and froze, there was ice for a slide or pushing . sleighs around for themselves.and their neighborhood friends, As they grew a bit older, they went sleighriding down the sidewalk on the slope from J., H. Reid's store (D and G Market) past the Post Office (Gairdner's) and down to Thos. Cameron's harness shop on the northwest corner of Main and Charles Streets, If one got a hard enough push at the top, the sleigh might even go as far as the other corner of the lot where an abandoned photographer's shop stood, or on to Brandon's (The Cluster Shop). We were just little ones haying fun and did not think how slippery we made this slope on Main Street for pedestrians until Jack Gairdner came out scolding us and spread salt or sand to prevent our elders falling when going to the Post Office. Snow meant cutter rides, too. Some children would watch for big farm sleighs coming into the village. The horses were often tied up at posts outside the stores, and then they'd beg rides when the owner drove off, or simply attach their sleighs to the big ones without permission. This was out of bounds for Lucy and Jean. In those days the Main Street road came straight through Clan Gregor Square and branched off at what was then known as the cross-roads, to Louisa Street. These high roads held the water on the square to the north in a thaw. When this froze over, skating and hockey was enjoyed by the village children. It was much more safe than the mill pond, and there were benches, erected for the use of those attending the ball games in the summer, where one could sit to change one's skates. As they grew older, Lucy and Jean were permitted, after many warnings of poSsible air holes in the ice, to go skating on the mill pond or the river, after the roadway was built around the square. But their parents always felt better when Blair's field flooded and froze over. Then, too, they went sleighriding at such, points as the Mill Hilll (Thomson's), the "Rocky Road to Dublin" (from the Long hill down over the present Dullen property), Cameron's hill (now grown up with trees) at the end of Sarnia Street, over Moore's hill, down Mara Street or the long-hill to the bridge. The latter was dangerous owing to the traffic of horse-drawn vehicles. Lucy was well up in her 'teens the last time she wentsleighriding down the long hill. She had a rather heavy set of Bob sleighs and the hill was slippery, Usually someone was at the bottom of the hill to warn those at the top of anything on the bridge. It was a beautiful starlit night. With Florence Elliott on the sleigh with her, it gained such speed that Lucy could not make the turn and the loose snow off the curve flew up in her face. She kept calling "clear the track," but some young folk ahead were laughing as their sleigh got stuck in deep snow. And Lucy's right leg went right in under the other sleigh as her own upset. She just lay there suffering. "Is your leg broken?" asked Florence. "Help me up and I'll see," • Lucy replied. It wasn't so she limped up the,hill,, That, was her, last, ride on her bobsled. Actually the Long Hill was 'a thoroughfare and no one had any business sledding on it. But Robert McMurray or whoever was Village Constable at the time didn't trouble us. For some boys who had their pet dogs trained to draw their sleighs, snow meant a ride when the road became packed. Lucy remembers one in particular. Harry Baker had harness for his collie which was very fast. Ordinarily a very amiable pet, he became quite cross and demanded the whole road while drawing his young master. Snowshoeing was popular in those days. In mid winter when the snowbanks were higher than Mrs. G. H. Hewson's big white gate (now her niece, Mrs, J. E. Howard's residence), it gave one an elevated feeling to walk atop them, or similar ones down the lakeshore road on snowshoes. Lucy loved the great outdoors. The smell of a cedar swamp in the autumn after rain, the whisper of a gentle wind through evergreens, the first snow settling on them like a blanket, It was like fairyland to walk the paths underneath it. One day she was walking under a large hemlock tree in the swamp, thinking to herself: "Why do people go to Florida and miss all this?" Suddenly there was a great whirr of wings which gave her a start, Evidently a covey of partridge had spent the night under its protective boughs. wow, Lucy knows why people go to Florida to escape the cold. But from her chair she can still enjoy the clean white snowflakes falling outsica and recall the days when she was active. Snow covers up all the ugly pots left by man and frOst, but there are three frozen arousel roses foo high up to be covered in Lucy's garden. Carl continually mistakes them for cardinals at first glance. Yes, "All nature sings and round me rings Tile music of the spheres." And perhaps in future years the people will be visiting other spheres. The astronauts have twice landed on the moon. These, too, belong to "My Father's World." There are hundreds of snowmobile races every year, but the longest, cold- est and toughest is the gruelling 600- mile cross-country between Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska. Polaris won. Not only the overall fastest time for the three-day, sub-zero marathon, but also the Open Class and Stock C Class. MODERN CREED An interesting item taken from the weekly publication of Bayfield United Church reacis;—, "A Modern ...lVlaoVcreed" I believe in Gold — the dollar almighty, maker of nearly everything desirable on earth. I believe in seven per cent-- and in as much more as I can safely get. I believe in success - measured by salary. I believe in getting ahead. If this means getting aheaA of the other fellow — well. I am sorry for him but it can't be helped. I believe in religion — but not too much of it. I believe that business is business. I believe in doing good in the world, but not to the extent of giving till it hurts. I believe that my own sins, which are not many, ought to be forgiven by a just and merciful God; but if anybody sins against me, he had better look out.- I believe first and last and always, in having a good time. I sincerely hope that my having a good time won't rob anybody else of their's; but, if it does, well, once more, I'm sorry, but it can't be helped.
