A lady tlid of an unusual stunt 2he witnessed when visit- in.- San Francisco, recently. Moth ers would switch on the television set, pull the baby's crib up closeý and while the pic- tures kept junior amused, mam- ma would go back to bed emd enjoy further sleep. One night, We attended aur first "drive In" theatre. Il la supposed to be the largest in Canada. What do you suppose the picture was? " Bend of the River"; which we had seen at the Royal Theatre in Bowman- ville several months ago, which proves that our local picture hovse is as up-to-date as the best of them. Not too many people reading this column use natufal gas inl their homes. Around Calgary, ail you do is twist a wee tap when you require either heat for a room, or for cooking. No woodshed or storage bins, no ashes to carry out, no clinkers to bother the grates, just a nice clean, odorless blaze for al purposes. A small house can be run for three frogskins per month, larger houses more, ac- cording to size. We, who burn wood in kitchen stove and fur- nace throughout the entire year, can realiy appreciate the com- forts of Alberta's natural gas. During stampede week, a workman mnav go on the job, hang around for an hour or 3o, then go home, puzzled at the non appearance of other work mates. The second time this happens, he throws up the --onge. and dec;des ta go ta thp Stampede, where he is apt to findt fis missing pals, plus the H amouo that à bit Of Wood preservatixei applied et Hlittle cot when the fence was put ini, would have saved him the. cost of new poste now. ln the telephone business, as 'roUm! your ô"n home, w@ find it's better ta do the. job right in the firt place and tiien look ater it.

Seldom s there any unpleasant aftermath. Such aberrations are explained away by a shrug, and "Stampede, you know." At an overnigbt stop lni the rugged Montana country, the hotelman handed me the keys of the room, plus à 26-ourioe bottle af water, which I at first rnizlQok for gin. Hi-s actionipu7- zled.us because there wvas pe.- ty of water in the laps. How- aver, wben we needed a mnort, we swigged tram the bottie. The following morning, the maid explained that the bottled stuff bod been bouled tram a town tbirty miles away, was "good waler," and cost Ibrec cents a gallon. The local water was sa full of soda that il us- uaily upsets strangers, but was dandy for washing clothes, be- cause il bleaches them s0 nice- iy. Local folk drink il without ill effect. At aur next overnight stop, a native of Indiana, about sixty years of age, told af going througb this part af the couli- try wben be was much younger, on the raiiway; when a man, passed middle age, engaged hlma in conversation, and bold hlm he had left Ohio some years be- fore, lied settled in thot parti- cular part ai Montana, acquir- ed tbree sections of land <1920 acres), at one lime bad passes- sed over 300 cows and 75 hor- ses, but due la continued dry weabher wibbering the grass, had sold most of bis stock ta buy feed for tbe remainder: That morning, be had shot his last remaining six horses, and boardcd bbc train wibh just enough cash ta transport him ta Ohio, wbcre be intended ta sbay. He offered the young In- diana lad the bible deeds ta the 1920 acres, free. But our ac- ý uaintance wasn't înterested. e bold us that, had he taken the offer, be would have spent as mucb in taxes over bbe last forty years as bbc propcrby would realize today. Our motel neighbour sbowed us a sbeltered depression where, he cloimed, three hudnrcd and fifty catlle had froze ta death during a particulerly cold snop. Tbob's a lot af catîle ta freeze in anc bunch. Ini the Sweetwater Hilîs, we sBW. where Indions bad used a hi-gh butte as a waîch tower ta &pot buffalo herds on bbc plains.

Taday, a few old, grlzzled pros- pectors are still hunling for thec elusive Moîber Lode.

This sme man told me of seeing Walter Ure, (25 yeara- ago) who rccently dicd in his earlr forties, wbile Mini-aber of A griculture for Alberta, run i-n a six mile road race, clad only in raclng shorts, socks and boots, i-n 45 bclow zero wcolbcr.

For instance there is the small room off tha deputy-sheriff's office, which should be ail right as a rooin for the lady jurors and the lava. tory under the stairs could be closed ta pblic use and joinad with the lady jury room be a There la the tact that appar- ently the judges do not lîke the idea of the lady jurors having ta pass through the crowd when court recesses but a door cou]d be cul Inta the West well of the court room and a covered pass- age mode across the lawn and inb the exisling east door of the West wing and from there il is only a step or so to bhe de- p uty-sheriff's office and ta the lady jury room. Thât should answer the question of where ta quarter the lady jujrors. "As for a robing roam for the lawyers, Harry Deyman bas a large office near the counties clerk's office, that was once the provincial police office and il is plenty large enough ta di- vide off into a robing room for the lawyers and stili leave room enough for Mr. Deyman. The council chamber is noisy from the trucks going by but the new highway will elimin- ate that and as for as il being crowded, il migbl be economy for tbe time being ta pur up wibh the close quarters. Living Coat Hlgh The tenure of office in coun- ties council is faily short, so it la flot sucb a terrible hardship for the individual members to conduct their business in their crowded surroundlngs for the lengbh af lime that they are members," hie declared. Touch- ing on the ýeconomic side of the picture hie said: "Farm priceare Iow and town people are, many af them out of work. The cost of living is still vcry high and il is na easy job paylng taxes. 1 think that the counties council and the town af Cobourg should try again and make the best of what they have gaI and icave ncw buildings ta such lime as when money is more plentiful,i prices are more favourablè andi taxes easler ta raise,"I he sug-1 gested. 1 * __ r 'WI-en News, Scarce j Fergus Editor Looks O ut ,the Window (Fergus News-Record) This la bhe tiine of ycar wherî news is aiways scarce.
