This association is non-tangible but does date back a good mnany years when 1 was a sprout of a lad deliverying the Toronto telegramn throughout the Village. 0f course in those days the SHOP ORONO % L WaInA Odyssey 2 wlth Cartrldge Orono Downtown For Daily Needs and Christmas Gifts FREE Entry BlankS At Ail OronD Stores Fi11 Out a laik - YOU MaY Be a Wnner Draw to be HeId 5 P PM1 Decemnber 24th We wîii be lokinq for You. road pattern and develop- ment of residential homes was quite different to those that now exist. It was after al in the eaily and mid thirties and there was no such thing as Highway 115 and Highway 35 was littie more than a pav- ed country road winding aiound corner after corner in thse paticular area. Our association likely comes from the fact that the Hooey barn was the location of thse Dick Brown faimn and the last north delivcry 1 'had to mnake. lt certainly was away out in thse country in those days of few street lights and none at aIl in the north of the Village. In the winter it was a long, dark haul over some rough wînter roads and there was no short cuts. Tise original house, set on thse west side of the bain, had the typical closed in verandais and covering vines and we can still sec the rubber boats' and milk pail set out beside the door. Thse daily delivery of some 110 Telys not only took us to thse extreme north of the Village but also over to Lin- ton's in thc big house at tree nursery and through the forestry back roads to thse Suttoni's at thee ittle house on top of the hill at the Mil pond. In fact 1 peddled somne four and a haîf miles day after day, summier and winter for half a cent a paper and finally one cent a paper. Now this raise did not comne after a few mnonths but after a numnber of yeais. Neai the end of my stint with the Telegrarp I was listed along with twenty-four other car- riers in thse province with the longest continuous record for deliverying the Tely. At lcast one dlaim to faine in the an- nais of this life. If 1 may be permnitted to renjisce further it was the hill at the Browns that did me in one night. Apparently the front fork of the bike broke off at the frame and Forrester went sprawling head first on- to the road suffering a bloody face and a sligbt concussion that had me into neyer-neyer land weil into the night. What has always amazed me about this is the fact that 1 did get up and walked well over half a mile to Sain Allin's in the north of the Village to get some help and to this day cannot remember the whole incident and neyer did then until 1 wokeup in the hospital. And 1 have asked myself, why did 1 go to Samn Allins when there were other customers cdoser. The only conclusion has been that Sam always gave you a hearty welcome while his wife greeted you from the kitchen always preparing sup- per and wearing her apron. 1 still rememnber the paper had to go between the doors at the Alfins and this required biking to the south side of the house. As one thinks back you do wonder if some of these customers did not have some effect on your life. In this 1 recall Rowland Smith presen- ting me with a pair of hand- made skiis for Christmas. The wood had corne out of the top of the garage and Rowland had takeni time to skillfully steamn-up the end and put an cxacting groove down the middle of the skiis. 0f course we only had a toc strap to jain our boot into but that didn't make any dif- ference for off we went to what was then called Brimnacomnbe's Hill to try out this set o f skiis. (Brimacombe's Hill is now the Oshawa Ski Club Hill). There definitely was no skill in our skiing for it was' push off at the top and let the skiis take you where they might. No groomned runs and no lifts in those days and you could welI be lip to your thîghs in snow trying to at least get part way back up to thse top of thse hili for another run. Ask Gord Watson, Jim Ruherford -or Don Staples "'those were the days you worked hard on your ascent for a few moments of des- cent." But getting back to Rowland Smith he may well have set my pattern of winter erjoyment with thse gift of those hand-crafted skiis. Needless to say 1 have en- joyed winter ever since. These are but a few thoughts that drift back to those days.
