PRIZE WINNING ESSAY Marian Snell of Londesboro, . Ont, While Only Nine Years Old Writes an Interesting Story . of Early Days OPENS- AN ACCOUNT Canada in Pioneer Days When the early settlers, came out 'from the Old Country, mostly from England, Ireland and Scotland, they. ' sailed in small vessels, so it took six or levee weeks to come. It was so stormy, some were; nearly wrecked. They had scarcity of money and not much cloth- ing. By the time they gots their way paid, they had only a spade, axe and shovel left so they set to work. First they cut down some trees for a log cabin, and fitted the cracks with. mud.

He had to go over to the nearest neighbors, which was a mile, away on a 'cold frostyr_morning, to get a coal to light the fire. R One day in spring when. the Indians were deep in the forest, they could not find any waterto cook their venison. They thought they would tap the trees, tosee if they had any water. They got some sap, and boiled the venison in it, and- thought it was the sweetest venison they had ever tasted. Thus they found out, that sap from the maple tree was sweet. Many interesting things occurred in those early clays. One night as my Grandfather was coming home with his dog from a.neighbers thrashing, a hungry bear attacked him. He climb- ed a nearby tree, and the bear follow- ed -him, but the dog nipped his heels. Then th bear ran after the deg. The dog led the bear away from the tree, thus saving Great Grandfather's life. Once in pioneer days there was a hungry year. That year wad the year of poor crops. When winter set in people had no food, Fishing and game were no good. They boiled beef bones over and over again. Those that had beef bones lent .them around the neighborhood. Some died having eat- en poisonous roots. At last came spring so the hungry year was over. We are very proud of our grandpar- ents and what they have done for us and we hope that we will not missuse the wonderful heritage theyrhave handed down to us, MARIAN SNELL, Londes:boro, Ont., S.S.

Traffic and Children Providence Journal: The American Road -builders' Associatien reports that in the past five years thirty thou- sand school children havebeen killed on the .highways of the United States. . The high,^ay hazard for chil- dren is one that will always be pres- ent, we may be assured, unless some unpredictable' reform in the regula- tion of motor traffic is somehow se- cured. The shocking fact at present is that despite the far greater street vigilance of the rising generation as n resultof its early awareness of the peril, the kitllin+g is going on at the rate of .six thousand children a year. Surely there is a possibility of some concerted action which would reduce an appallingslaughter that far exceeds the toll df the ancient mythical sacri- fice to Juggernaut.
