"lose to Toronto, there is the Summit. Dagmar and Raglan. Dagniar now has two ski tows and a new lodge, while Raglan boasts its first modem tow. Farther afield, Ottawa is. and has been, a great ski country for "lo these many years' and the people in the area have a variety of ski spots to choose from. .\s far as we can learn, the teeners of West- ern Ontario lose out on this sport with very few really good skiing hills. Seems the guys and gals down there go in more for hockey and skating. When your local ski ciub has a meet, send along the results and we'll be pleased to publicize the event. In the meantime, don't break ' your neck. Winter Wonderland Willie on t!ie su'pject of winter, we would like to mention what we think is the most picturesque winter spot in the Province of Ontario. Two weeks ago we left home at 7 a.m. on the coldest January morn- ing in many years (around 20 be- low, remember?) for Morrisburg, Prescott and other points. Well, on the way we skot north to Havelock. From there we went east to Marmora and Madoc â€" and that few miles to Marmora is something to see in winter. The road is winding and hilly, but what scenery ! Here is truly a cameraman's paradise, .^s you come over a short rise wu find a small house nestled at the foot of a hill, a tall spiral of smoke ascend- ing from its chimney. Travelling along between the two high walls of snow you meet a man with horse and sled. His dog jumps and rolls in the snow as it tags along behind or bounds on ahead. Yes sir. here is a U. S.

Farther east, just out of Morrisburg. you can see the oil freighter that sank in tlie St. Lawrence last September. Still lying in the middle of the river with her bow sticking out of the water she presents a picture indeed! Steam rising from the river shrouds her in mystery as the ice and water flows over her deck and past. Well so much for skiir.c and winter travelling. Do They Make You Sick, Too?

Clarke -And how did you weatiier our little sub-zero winter? It was pret- ty sudden, wasn't it? I suppose if the truth w«re told this paper could be filled wih anecdotes of pipes that froze: of cars that wouldn't start; and how low the thermometer drop- ped at this place and that. But I don't think anyone could think up as strange a story as I have to tell. That night, that bitter twenty- below-zero night, one of our cows had a calf â€" and the calf performed the almost impossible feat of drowning itself in the water tank at the barn • > * Partner had been watching the mother of this calf very carefully, as she was over her time. Every night this week, just before he went to bed, he would put on boots and overalls and pay a final visit to the bam. If the boys were out late they also would take a look at the cow before turning in. But it was always the same story â€" no calf. It was the same thing Thursday night. But on Friday morning when the boys went the bam there was every evidence that the cow nad had her calf â€" although the calf was nowhere to be seen. Presently Bob came to the house for a flash- light and to tell Partner they had a first-class mystery to solve. Thar was too much for Partner so then he went to the barn too. The boys having looked in all the possible pl-.ces for a calf to hide. Partner started looking in impossible places. Presently he noticed the wa;e.- in the trough was discoloured â€" and there sure enough was the calf â€" and it was a big one! « « « Perhaps I should explain that the trough is an extra big flat open tank about three feet high, stands in an out-of-the-way comer of the barn and is for the purpose of catching water piped in from an overflowing well at the back of the barn. As you will have surmised, the trougli was not covered, nor had it ever seemed necessary. It has been there for about seven years, and calves have been born and raised without any mishaps, insofar as the trough was concern- edâ€"but oi course there always has to be a first time. Naturally losing a calf that way is quite a loss but what bothers me most is the fact that the poor little thing was drowned. I can hardly bear to think of it especially as it must have been particularly strong and active. « * 7 After breakfast â€" and after the birth and untimely death of the calf had been discussed a dozen times, young John went to start his car â€" he uses it every day for transportation in a part-time job. The car. of course, refused to start. But Bob had no trouble at all with his truck so he towed Johnny down the lane. In a little while the motor started â€" and then it caught fire! The ami-freeze had boiled over on to the hot motor and ignited. Be- tween them the two boys got tlie fire under control before too much damage had been done, except that anti-freeze to the tune of S".j0 had to be replaced and some re- wiring .may be neces>ary. John said the anti-freeze had tested eleven below just recently. Usually that is plenty but I always insisted on a tweuty-below test when I had anything to do with a car. Which now. by the way. 1 haven't! • » * "The Greening" still lives here but we don't own it. Early last fall John bought it. I no longer felt the reeil of a car as Bob has a very nice little ' i ton "pick-up" which is just as easy for me to drive as a car. .\nd since most of my driv- ing is just back and forth to town â€" and not any more than I have to in winter â€" the car seemed like something we could do without, and since John was determined to get a car of some kind it worked out very well all round. One person said to me afterwards â€" "But of course you can still drive the carl" Well, maybe â€" John has said 40 anyway. But the idea doesn't appeal to me. To my way of thinking it would have all the earmarks of a ''corny" deal. So far I have used it only once. Just Foolish He tried to cross the railroad tracks Before the rushing train.
