lasting tribute to the lcgionnarics of the past and present the easter season has come and gone and whatever the weather be fore and hfter no one could pos sibly have asked for a better eas- tre sunday sun shining all day and reasonably warm for the first of april easter is such a happy occasion especially as its promise of spirit ual rebirth coincides with natures awakening to new life once again special church services easter flowers and lovely choral music in churches and by radio and televis ion all contribute so much every thing cheerful and full of promise if we dont feel n lift in our hearts vre must indeed he dull and unrec- eptive no doubt old country people will agree with me that nt easter our thoughts are apt to drift homewards more than at any other time of the year not neces sarily with regret but rather in krateful remembrance it makes us happy to recall the lovely shaded country lanes banks yellowdotted with primroses and the air sweetscented from the shy violets in woods nnd lanes no wonder robert browning wrote oh to be in england now that aprils here if one had the time the opportunity nnd the money wouldnt it be wonderful to fly over to the old country just to see the primroses and violets in bloom once again however if that isnt possible we at least have our memories the philosophy that it is better to have jotcd and lost than never to have loved at all applies to more than human relations it applies equally well to places and things that have brought us happiness in days gone by and yet even as wc remember the past consciously or uncon sciously we are building up new memories to treasure in the days to come for the present will event ually become the past as we move day by day into the future jaflctnvmy more recent memories is shopping with grandson davel by special request i went to tor onto to help daughter with a days shopping dave had to be taken along too as he needed to be fit ted for shoes and a few other things believe me we had a most interesting and energetic day dave was really quite rood but of course staying very long in one place was not to be expected however we coped with that by having a har ness on our young man so while wummy shopped for drapes and shirts grandma took charge of dave who was constantly finding new worlds to explore the world of moving staircases elevators to ride in and toys that might be seen but not touched when we came to anything that moved dave had one request i go too which meant that grandma follow ed when our shopping was done it lasted four hours we went over to his dads office and that was an unexpected thrill needless to say dave dropped off to sleep in the streetcar coming home and stay ed asleep while being transported from streetcar to stroller and from the stroller to his crib the little st el co history began with incorporation in 1910 then steico has in the 46 years since made 28000000 tons of steel paid 71 7000000 to employees paid 179000000 to

of canada limited montreal gahamoque hamiitoh brantfoto toronto man had had quite a day but oh dear what a bitter cold wind we had to contend with i was really klad to be back home and out of the weather on good friday although it was a miserable day the family drove out here with dave none the worse for wear they had stopped at oakvillc on the way up intend ing to visit bob and joy but changed their minds when they found the street where they live practically impassable mud and ruts almost axle deep due to storm sewer operations it hasbeen like that for weeks even though bob manages to struggle in and out with his car it cant be very good for the motor saturday before they could get out to come up here bob had to jack up the car and put stone down in the ruts justone of the joys of suburb life looks as if horse and buggy conditions are sometimes with us yet but without the horse and buggy to help us out the motor traffic over the week end must have been terrificwe noticed it in rather a peculiar way on this road one time in particular i was working in the kitchen of course the doors and windows were closed and yet al though we are quite a piece in from the road i soon became con scious of a steady incessant rumbl ing due to atmospheric conditions and traffic on the road what will it be when highway 401 goes through saturday night we had unexpect- jed callers about nine oclock our jgood watchdog was making a i great todo there wasnt a car in sight but amid the bedlam we j heard a knock at the door a middleaged couple claimed to j have come off the hamilton bus and were looking for a family of whom we had jiever heard but who apparently liyed about five i miles southeast of here the story j may have been true but it sounded a little suspicious partner suggest ed they go back to the gas station and call a taxi they were-certain- ly taking chances by walking on a strange road on a dark night and in dark clothes and by walk ing up to a farm house without knowing what dogs were around and if i had been aloner- and with out a dog i wouldnt have been too happy when oils strange couple appeared on our doorstep sunday we had more unexpected callers
