Real Estate Show Place 7 The tenth line of Red trees was a rock strewn ribbon sand which followed the contours of the rolling lanr until It with the on trie horizon Where the road ran between the embankments at the crests of the ridges the rains countless seasons had washed the soil from the surface roots of trees so that they appeared as fingers probing Into the earth To climb those steep hills In Molly my 39 Dodge was a daily endurance test In bottom gear and with the gas pedal pressed to the floor I sometimes wonder how I managed to travel back and forth between the newspaper office and the Hungry Hundred She s seen better days the man who sold her said In all but you can t expect much for seventy bucks IF I can ever afford to drive a Cadillac and I never will I wont feel the alfectlon for it that I felt for Molly We rode through some tough times together and over roads which never led to the palaces of my dreams One day I discovered another car In even worse shape than Molly It looked as If It had escaped from a junk yard only to die in a cloud of steam In a last desperate attempt to climb a hill Ms owner had his stuck inside the bonnet whilst his wife and four pretty children watched him helplessly from the shade of roadside trees Indians I told myself as I chugged and wheezed my way past them to stop on that hill would have been fata for Molly When I reached the top I placed the old girl In a position for a rolling start and walked back to the stranded travellers cons Bookstore For those who work wood Council of Forest COF1 Bookstore is valuable

lifo jack oil He looked at me and smiled friendly brown appreciating my concern His hair was black and sweaty and his hands caked with grease He pointed to a large hole In the bottom of the radiator from which a few drops of scalding water still dripped Too big to fix ave tef leave It ere today My many years In military service had taught me to size up men quickly I liked this man instinctivoly He was proud and Independent he would not ask me tor help I guess Id better take you and your family to where you were going I said taking the Initiative Where do you live Blue Lake Reserve It a long way or more For a moment he examined my face for my reaction and when he spoke again It was with a tone of embarrassment Couldnt even pay yer for the gas havent made a nickel today Three of the children came shyly towards us perhaps seeing me as their rescuer The smallest child was crying In Us mother s arms It was past supper time and the baby was hungry You have to walk back to my car t told him Im not exactly driving a winner myself if we re lucky It might get us to Blue Lake I packed six more people Into Molly we were sardines in a tin can a tin can on wheels Going down hill was easy When I let in the clutch Molly came to life and we headed down the road in a cloud of dust As I passed by the Hungry Hundred caught a glimpse of Angus standing by the fence line with a scythe In his hand He looked at me In amazement hobbled on his painful legs and almost fell as I sped past to gather speed for the next hill It was a miserable journey to Lake We were cramped ll was hot and the youngest child cried all the way was glad when I pulled Into the reserve a cluster of wooden buildings In a clearing of the bush kept the engine running and let my passengers out of the car Tho man paused or a moment and thanked me I cannot remember what prompted me to pull out my one and only bill two dollars If you can this youro welcome to it I told my new friend A friend In need Is a friend indeed I was an hour late for supper I arrived back at the farm Angus was waiting for mo like a grand inquisitor Saw yer drive ere with a bunch of Indians Thought you d more sense askln for trouble so They II be back git yer an be sorry so yer will Did you ever talk to an Indian I asked in I was hot tired and In no mood for old womens or old men tales Nope but I eard plenty about em so What do you want me to do I asked angrily keep a shot gun handy Angus limped away muttering to himself Some thing about Broncos and Limles being big headed like mules and can lell em a blasted thing the course of the next week I drove past the stranded car on my way to and Then one day on my way home I noticed It had gone When I arrived home there was a wholesome smell of baking In the summer kitchen and hot blue streaked pies on the table My wife was all smiles and happiness Guess what she said excitedly somebody left a basket of blueberries In the porch and this She handed mo a grubby envelope with a two dollar bill Inside No message not one word What does It moan There was a messago but she just t see It at that moment Life Is like that we just don t try to got the message This gift is from a Canadian a real Canadian These people can communicate without speaking or writing They were doing It long before the white man came to Canada But what is the message she asked again I was trying to formulate the antiwar when Angus came through the door See yer got a letter from the Indians Saw em so I did What does It say It was my moment to triumph and gave him both barrels it says never point
