'"Robert Jamieson, M.D."
'Remembering hue when win-
ter` was having a last fling,
comes easy because he entered
my life rather dramatically, on
a mad, March night when I was
a small, boy. On the way home
from school the shouldering
wind kept crowding my foot
steps in the sleigh tracks. My
head was suddenly hot 'and then
I would start to get chilly and
at time when the wind blew
gusts of skimpy snow the world
would go all white. I would have

being a farmer like my father.
I was going to be a doctor just
like the old doctor.
I listened to every story that
was told, about him. He had

miles through snow and once

never married because he --said
being a doctor's wife was no life
for woman.
On the anniversary of his
50th year of graduation they had
a celebration at the township
hall. Tey gave hila 20 ten -
dollar gold pieces and a hand
some new bag with his, initials
on. it in gold. When we were
Ieaving that night I heard some-
one say, "You know the old
doctor has never been the same
sines he went through that flu
epidemic. There's a young doc-
tor coming to help him."
All the way home I couldn't.
help but feel guilty. , It "seemed
as if my own sickness had con-
tributed to his ill health or
whatever they said was wrong
with him. I vowed then that I
would never go to that new
doctor.
People, like all things in -this
life, change however. Two
months later we sto'bd and heard
the Presbyterian -minister eulo-
gize the old doctor. Six months
later Doctor Macleod took qut
rely tonsils and after the sore
throat which preceded the oper-
ation I was glad that he was in
our village.
The small hospital which
operates in the old red brick
house is called The , Robert
Jamieson Memorial Hospital,
Somehow I. remember falling
and the sound of cutter bells.
It 'seemed as if a horse were
going to trample me, and when
I tried to scream my throat was
raspy and no sound would come
out. Everything was in circles
after that and then after a long
time I could hear voices but
they would come close and then
trail away like echoes, mad-
d"ningly far away until they
faded out.
My mother had her hand on
my forehead and it felt cool,
The pale, 'yellow glow spread
out in a circle from the lamp
on the old dresser. -My father's
face seemed to he hanging in
mid-air with no body attached
and my mother kept saying,
"There . . . there now. The
doctor will soon be here." •
From the face that hong in
the shadows I,heard my father
say; "It's- -driftii-fg barfly- and
I'm going to take the. team and
meet the old doctor.",
My, mother looked up to the
face which seemed to be fading.

It was infuriating being un-
able to say anything, back, I
tried and tried and red sheets
seeemed to flash in front of my
eyes and they turned to orange
and it was like fireworks.
• "There now, boy. Just lie
easy."
I could fel the hand that felt
as smooth as my mother's touch
my . forehead-. Then he picked
up my wrist. , There was some-
thing that seemed to gleam in
the lamplight and I couldn't
make it out but I could 'hear the
ticks and they seemed as loud
as the old clock in the kitchen.
Then„ the 'house seemed to shake
and I was away again falling
into snow and it was hot in
place of cold.
They said I was babbling for
three days. All I know is that
the sun was shining in the win•

She was beside me then with
a hand on nay forehead.
"Mother, I'n hungry."
"Yes . yes dear."
"Mother, can I have some pan-

easy to talk." Then I added,
,"With lots of maple syrup."
The whiskers erupted into a
great, booming- laugh. '

More Equitable
Rural Taxation
Being Sough•
'(BY..J. C "lcmingtivay)
The Huron County Federation
of Agriculture held their regular
monthly meeting March 14th
with the president, Warren Zur-
brigg presiding.
The president and secretary;
were appointedsto represent the
Federation at the Safety Council'
for the County.
On the recommendation of the
Federation Insurance Commit-
tee, Mr. Bob McMillan, of Hui -
lett Township, was added to I
committee.
Bill Duzican, of Goderich,
Co -Operator's Insurance Super-
visor, reported that there are
now something over ,.4,300 pol-
icies in force in the County. A
Tittle over 1,000 new policies
were approved during the past
year. The success of' this Co -
Operative proves that farmers
are capable of providing ade-
quate protection at a reasonable
cost in the insurance field by
working together. There is no
reason to , believe. • that they
would be any less successful in
any other project they set their
minds to.
For some years now, the de-
mands being mane on the Fed-
eration have been increasing to
the point where finances will
not permit further services. The
meeting felt that the particip-
ation in. the TV and radio pro-
grams provides a valuable ser-
vice. Certainly many.. farmers
have benefited through Improv-
ed compensation • from hydro,
N.. pipeline and highway easements
as -a`. result-::-of'-°the• `` -efF ts.:af-
yoiir organization. Many, too,
have .found the credit available
through your township council
for tile drainage' quite helpful.
Currently the Federation is mak-
ing a study of taxation in order
that a more equitable method
may be achieved for rural pro-
perty owners.

In order that these projects
may be carried on along with
many more it was recommended
that either the township units
increase their payment to the
"County so that it would equal
1/. mill or approachtheirTown-
ship councils with a request that
the Ievy be increased to the 14,
mill. This would increase the
Federation levy by 50c on $5,000
assessment.
The meeting was turned over
briefly to Bob McGregor, zone
director of the Ontario Beef Pro=
dpcers' Association fbr the pier-,
pose of electing seven addition-
al voting delegates from the
township beef producers' direc-
tors to attend the zone meeting.
Mrs,. Warren Zurbrigg report-
ed on the Ontario Rural Leader-
ship-4pm which she attended
at Nia a a Falls. She pointed
out that there are some 300 -
trained rural leaders now active
in Ontario. As the years go by,
these people and those to follow
will " make a real contribution
to their communities.
'Bob McKinley, of Zurich, and
James Dunbar, of Wroxeter,
were chosen as voting delegates
to the Ontario Poultry Pro-
ducers Annual, with Bob Broad -
foot and Geo. Underwood as al-
ternates. The meeting appoint
ed the Resolutions Committee as
a 'committee to bring recom-
mendations for revision pro-
cedure in conducting future
Commodity Group elections of
county committee men. •
