In the lower flats the beaver had
their abode, In this vast wilder,
ness trekked our ancestors, Some
of them had nothing but an.axe
and what clothing they could carry
in a red .hancliterchicf. Still they
came. They Carrie from different
parts of 'the globe, all for the one
purpose of seeking out a place to
locate and build a home, What a.
task!
They were men of strong phy-
sique, so 'they tackled the job, and.
Pawl the'trees ibegan to fall. Tim-
er in t ose days was of little or
no value, The best of oak Jogs
were split into rails to fence In
their ;clearings, the rest were all
drawn into piles and burned. Many
of those oak rails today are just
as sound as the day they were cut.
When the writer of this article
came into the world 74 years ago
the country was practically all
cleared, gravel roads were built
criss-crossing the townships, and
beautiful farm homes were in ex-
istence, The towns and villages
were 'built up. IJnbelieveable, what
was accomplished in a few short
years. Yes, we were born into a
busy world. We should be a great
race of people. Our fathers and
mothers sacrificed a great deal for
us.
Farm life in the early days was
not the ,drudgery that one might
think; in fact it was rather an ex-
citing time •working so much with
nature, especially in the spring of
the year when so many little ani-
mals began to arrive on the farm
to demand so much of our atten-
tion,
It is said that "home is where
the heart is", and certainly moth-
er's heart was in her home. We
were all well-trained in choring
around the house, such as beating
carpets and filling the bed ticks
with clean straw from the barn;
and when the big feathered tick
was put on top of these one' almost
needed a Step-ladder to climb into
bed. But, oh, the comfort of sink-
ing into that bed of feathers on a
cold winter night. Certainly no
modern spring-filled mattress ever
felt so good. "Old fashioned?"
Yes, but it was home.
I believe that the social spirit
which existed in the good old days
is gone, It was 'a common thing
to gather at a neighbor's for a
house party. NoWadays we scarce-
ly know our next-door ,_neighbor,
Mitch is said about our modern
educational system, and it is in-
deed surpassed. by no other coun-
try. Our schools are up-to-date
and our children enjoy privileges
of• education which should 'be a
wonderful advantage, 'but there
still is something to say for the
old'country school and all it meant
to Canadian life, especially that
kind of Canadian life that had its
start in the open country. Many of
the people who have served our
land in important posts, and many
great minds who have been instru-
mental in giving us our modern
conveniences were trained in the
little country school house.
