CAHAtiiAN HATiONAl
The Vo ice
Of Temperance . , . .
They called him Buckety. He
was a character in a play. He
was dressed in rags, His hang
out was a boot-legging road
house. He was drunk, and he
made himself a nuisance. Appar-
enly Robertson Davies, the
author, used his drunken antics
to make his audience laugh.
When will we learn that it is in
bad taste to laugh at the de
gradation of the alcoholic? .When
will writers lpam that it is in
bad taste to parade the stagger
ing gait and the maudlin speech
of a drunk man. It is a matter
for shame and for pity, not foi'
amusement, the plight of the vic
tim of drinking. The public needs
to revise its thinking at this
point. (adv’t)

An interesting picture of life
in South Huron 70 years ago Is
revealed in a conversation with
one of Hensall’s oldest residents.
George Gram, narrator and
hero of the story, will be 9e
years old this month. The story
is told as much as possible in
Mr. Grant's own words.
“The year I was 22 I made
my first trip to Michigan, it was
on June 1, 1830. My brother,
sister and I drove from our farm
on the Parr line jn Hay Town*
Sholp through the Pinery to Sar
nia and across the river to Mich
igan.
“Traveling by horse and buggy
we left home about four in the
morning and we reached Sarnia
about 6 p.m, When we reached
Sarnia the horse was done in
completely. To look at her yent
would think she was as . fresh
as in the morning, but she could
go no further.
“My father did not want me;
to take the horse. He wanted me
to go myself and leave the other
two at home. It .was my first;
trip away from home.
“We had our eatables with us
in a basket and when we got
down just below the Pinery we
came to a farmhouse and asked
the man where Roy lived. This
Roy used to live on the Parr
line on a farm a half mile north
of Hillsgreen. He had moved
down and bought 2in) or SOU
acres in the Pinery.
“However, the stranger invited
us to put our horse in Ms barn
and his wife insisted we eat
breakfast there. You would think
we had been friends 40 years.
“When we neared Sarnia we
did not know which way to go.
The roads were just trails. We
met an old Itsihwoman and ask
ed the way.
“Just go as straight as a die
after your nose and. youTl be
there before sundown,” she told
us.
“We spent the night in Sarnia,
after putting the horse in a hotel
stable and going to the river to-
make arrangements for crossing
to Port Huron,
“Our friend in Michigan, with
whom we were to visit at his
home six miles from Port Huron,
came to Sarnia that night and
arranged to escort us to his
place.
“The next owning we crossed,
horse and buggy and all, on a
ferry boat. It cost us fifty cents
for the horse, 25 cents each for
the three of us. The night’s
lodging at Sarnia cost us each 25
cents for a bed and 25 cents for
a meal.
“People told us we could not
make the trip with a horse and
buggy, that it was much too far.
I wonder at it myself now; they
say it Is 75 miles.
“For all his opposition, when
father heard of our trip he made
It himself a 'few months later.

Old-fashioned farming, with its never ending

it’s easier to keep him on the farm. Better crops and
