'xi About
About
with Martha
I am settling in - and can't believe it - I feel
I have been away twice as long as usual. I
have been driving around taking notice of
the street signs - now why should I do
THAT!
Thinking about it, I recalled the first time
I managed to get LOST in this area. It was a
very cold day in November 1946. We were
living on Wilson Street and when I went "up-
town" to shop, I stayed on Britannia Road
until. I reached South Street - then I knew
where to go on The Square. Somehow, I was •
all turned around. I had decided to take
Montreal Street from The Square, knowing
I'd cut off several blocks but I must have
taken Hamilton or North Street because I
found myself facing the river - and I was in
strange territory. (Luckily I didn't turn to
the right or I'd still be lost. )
I remember thinking - if I followed the
river to the Lake, I would know my way
(from there. I had left home after one o'clock
- done my shopping = I figured it only took 15
to 20 minutes to reach The Square - so an
hour or so should have been enough for the
shopping but when I reached Wellington and
West Street, the men were coming up from
the Elevators and it HAD to be 5 o'clock. ,
I stopped one of the men and asked for the
nearest route to Wilson Street and sure
enough, he directed me along West Street to
Essex Street. Then to Britannia Road. Why
couldn't he say, "Stay . on Wellington to
Britannia" - from there it would have been
familiar.
By the time I fought my way out of the
maze of Cobourg Street ending at the
Lighthouse and along Essex to the old
Sunset Hotel (now long gone) , I was a
frozen, weeping wreck.
Walt was already home, stoking up the
fire. We had a big old cook stove that burned
wood - or coal, if you knew how to manage
it! That stove and I just never got along and
I was glad he had it going for I was in no
mood for any kidding or reprimands. t had
shed many a tear over that stove - I hated it
and it hated me right back!
I felt better later when visitors had been
caught on The Square - "Never saw so many
drug stores in one town in my life," they
said.
You think you have been having cold
winters lately? Well,1 had left a little, mild
Essex County and the snow usually lasted a
very short time - and it was soon turned to
mush or ice, then slush. 180 miles north, it
was my first - very first WINTER! The
afternoon before Christmas, we were head-
ed for Windsor and our families. In 1946,
Highway 21 was so full of potholes, from
here to Bayfield, we decided to take the
back road - the first road to the right out of
Goderich, what an up and down road.
It had started snowing early that morning
and by noon, there was nearly a foot of snow
with more huge flakes falling faster and
faster. You could barely see through it. The
first mile and a quarter had tracks on the
road - from there on it was one smooth, - un-
broken field of snow ahead of us and no signs
of the EDGE of the road. You had to
"judge" your way - hoping to hit centre
most of the time.
As the snow grew deeper, the fan belt was
picking up the snow and piling it on the
motor. We would stop, clear it off then wait
until it would start again. This happened so
many times, you had to back up in your
tracks and take a run at the deep snow
ahead of you - 'about two car lengths you
would be stopped 'again.
When we finally reached the bridge at
Bayfield, we were amazed to see the road
blown clear. We figured the snow plow had
been along - but from there on, there was
scarcely any signs of snow! That foot of
snow on the car - some had blown off by the
time we reached Windsor - was the talk of
the town, people wouldn't believe what we
had suffered!
We were back for New Year's Eve and
met our first real blizzard and sleet storm,
which turned to snow and blizzarded for a
full week. No trains, trucks - nothing for
over a week. THAT was MY introduction to
WINTER! We saw 30 full ones before we
escaped.
Bless me, summer is here - enjoy it, - I in-
tend to.
Love; Martha
