for safe new linger written speciality for the a free press bft gwendoline p clark many times in this column i have expressed regret that we are in danger of being hemmed in by highways and the extended bound aries of our nearby town i have said we like rural life and the quiet of the country all that was and is perfcetl true put now 1 find there are degrees of quietness and more than one kind of rural life we have friends in duffenn counh who were injured in a car accident last enr of course we have been writing back and forth but that is not like seeing one an other so last tuesday i drove up to the shelbume district staved overnight and came back next day it was a lovely drive through the caledon hills except that i was too busy watching the road to look around at the scenery the farm where i was visiting is situated only a few miles from a spot that is supposed to be the highest point in ontario the scenery was beautiful and the air i just cannot describe how won derful the air felt our friends live about two miles back from the high way they have the hydro and telephone and there are neighbors just across the road so they arc not exactly isolated the usual farm activities were going on while i was there cows to milk pigs and poultrv to feed places to fix up ready for having a truck came in to pick up eggs and cream electric ians were doing a repair job somebody coming and going most of the time then came night i knew our friendb were used to going to bed i irlv and i was tired after driv ing so wi were all in bed by ten 0 i lock and then i la awake liitcning just listening and do von know there wasnt a thing to listen to no trains in the dist- anc no whistles no cars or trucks on the road no wind blowing not even a dog barking 1 never heard so much nothingness in all mv life it was uncanny and then after about an hour 1 heard a low rumble away off in the distance so far awav i couldn t recognize the sound gradually it got louder and 1 knew it was a plane some time later the wind got up the rain came pelting down and there was distant thunder with something to listen to i finally went to sleep soon after daybreak i was awake once more again that weird stillness i thought at least the hens would be cackling but they werent or if they were i didnt hear them still more extra ordinary there wasnt a single bird singing from the tree tops when i came down to breakfast i couldnt help commenting on the quietness quiet yes but the quietness is just heaven to me said mrs well everyone to their taste as i said before we like the peace of the country but 1 dont like it that quiet bv the next night i was home and in m own bed for a second night i lay awake quite awhile this time i was listening to the rumble of the trains the whistle as thev approached various cross ings the comforting homiy sound of cars as they travelled up and down the highway dog answering dog each from his own bickyard night flying planes going in and out of malton tail lights blinking and at da break birds on the wing birds chirping and singing sparrows starlings robins thrushes spring thompson motors ph0ke ts fcrj md nrnrles jttve gree th ma diy i thought how wonderful if it could stay this way for ever rurdl living but with all the comforting sounds of life going on around us each farm family a complete unit in itself but sharing common interests and all within eas reach of one another plentj of trees birds and a few rabbits and groundhogs and mosquitoes but definitely even in duffenn there wore mosquitoes if onlv i were less allergic to them instead of getting used to them my resistance to the pesky things seems to bt getting less and less gardening is completely out so far as i im concerned in fact i have rem hid tht
