We were •six days com down. We' drove most of the ti but hada few hours' sleep each nn Well, Mother, I certainly saw so pretty eights on the way, Thro Michigan, 'fediana and Illinois -t country 'is about the same as home, In Kansas a saw some' of real old IWeetern prairie, throu we drove nearly all day, T next.:Stete we 'hit was Colora whel-e the roads were poor the . fi day, and we stayed at a place call Trinidad, just at the edge of the C orado Mountains, (Then we cross of more n r i ' oc r nc rat eland and th a p e roa certainly, fine. We could hit good speed' most of the time, for' all bad good Ford cars, I had t slowest of the lot—a-Master Bui roadster, It would undo .65 miles p hour, but we -had to keep in place. Alnthen he we came ante to New Mexic Mother, you should see the pret seeuery. I guess that is about all t country .is good for. It:was great see the Mexicans in their riding co tunles and their big sombrero !rat I guess you have seen—them. A to of the 'houses ••are built of red sari stone and they sure looked nice: W also; passed through the country the Navajo Indians, who are note for, the wonderful robes they weaa`,,v I was told they are the highest prAe robes one can 'buy.

The noxi State was Arizona, a ode solate lot of rocks, mountains an desert galore, I had the pleesufe seeing the painted desert; likely yo. have heard of ft. It was certainly wonderful sight, extending as far one :could see and more colors than one could imagine. We->nel'b only seventeen nice t mi r les from the � Petrified t tfie Forest; but didn't get time to see i as the 'boss makes a business to dniv those cars through andi it mean money to him to get:itere, as fast as we -could. oa 'After we left Arizona•we dame into the California mountains, and the roads were awfully ice and slippery Two of the cars" left` the road 'but re- ceived e ceived no damage as` we had to go along -slowly in this State. It seems to be a better farming country and. When we got about, forty-five mile from Los !Angeles rive came. int° ,th orange farms, '•'You know the orange trees grow fruit the year round, blos- soms and' fruit, on the trees at ,th same time, the same with the lemons and grapefruit.. II saw the larges privately owned vineyard in the world -grapevines as far as you could see. And there were the olive farms, but the fruit had been picked month ago. ,Around town 'here the tree's are m leaf the year round. There are large pal'm trees it frontt of nearly every house. I saw one of thelargest parks hereYesterda and it is beautiful Y palm trees and everything mit t Y It is g nice and warm here in the day, time and it turns quite cool at night. Of course it is supposed to be winter here now, but it is like summer: I think it will be easier to get work here than' in Detroit, for there were about twenty ads in the paper for mechanics, That looks good for me Later. I am working in a garage. Will write again soon. Neil. HUGH IVf, CHESNEY. Mr, :I--Iugh Muir Chesney, a resident of Egmondville for 37 years, passed away at his home on Wednesday evening, 'Feb. '1.

He really scatters sunshine wherever he goes.. . 'While he has' been here only fwo' years, yet he has revealed clearly his real value, and with his going Niagara Falls will lose a very efficient minister and helpful citizen.

Arthur Wallace THAT SEAFORTH SNAKE. To theEditorof The News,—I en- joyed the comments made on the Sea - forth snake by The Toronto Star. As the tail of the reptile is said to live on after the head is bruised, leads us to implement the ,Star's complement by a 'brief supplement, Had ourfirst parent the sante impulse to kill the serpent that our Seaforth friend pos- sessed, what a saving of ice required 'to cool the parched tongues.of the hu- man race by reason ofthe sin brought into the world by that subtle serpent! It is difficult to see itsoriginal use- fulness. It is also difficult to harmon- ize a fish tale with a snake story, How easy to swallow the former without leaving a fishy taste, Ireland thrives without the latter as France ought to know. • We believethat one of .the five fatuities of serpents is called the Double' Walker, from the fact that the creature can 'move equally well with either end foremost. 'This latter fact may have prolonged the tale in addi- tion to evidence that Seaforth people have ceased to see serpents since Go- vernment Contrpl has come into force, "MAGIS'TER," Seaforth Feb 7, 1928.
