on saturday yes going to town on saturday is almost an institution although restricted buying and ear ly closing has modified it consider ably but some things remain much the same neighbour still meets neighbour and there are two shows at the theater each night the lib rary is open afternoon and evening the local department store hi as crow ded as a city bargain basement and any time there is an auction sale you can almost stake your reputation on he chance that it will be on a satur day a week nco for instance i ar rived in town about 430 crowded there wasnt parking room anywhere within reasonable distance of the stores cars were everywhere but yet very few people in the stores i was mystified nnd then i remem bered of course an auction sale one which included every kind of tool a man was likely to heed either on or off a farm so i suppose those who usually came at night had come this week in the afternoon instead and i understand the bidding went just about as wild but it is renlly yesterday i want ed to tell you about not only was there shopping to do but there was also a matinee for weeks t have been longing to see ljiitsle come home now it was here hut alas so was the worst storm of the win ter frankly i was dubious about going out at nil it was so cold and the lane looked as if it might fill in nny time however partner assured me the snow was too light to give nny trouble finally 1 decided to try my luck i got through the lane nil right arrived in town did my shop ping changed my hooks and went to tho show and i want to tell you thnt lassie come home will stay with me long after other shows have been forgotten you know it is about a boy and his dog nnd there is very little more that one can add to it tho underlying pathos in tho story is more in the things is dotin t tell rather than what it doos the little boy a mother npponrs nt times to bo hard nnd unfeeling but anyone with n knowledge of hardship through unt m- ployment and insufficient food will recognise it as nothing but n blind to hide deeper ft ellngs dont miss lassie come home it is well worth seeing yes i even thought thnt when i came home and found myself snow ml in the wind had evidently changed the rood was nil right hut oh dear the inne 1 ten feet up the drive and i was hopelessly stuck there was only one thing for it the team but partner was nt the barn to co after him
