8---THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER bth, 1059 Diary of a Vagabond By Dorothy Barker There was a time when the three bairns would hit my front door with a whoop and head right for a toy box I keep in the sunroom, especially for their amusement. But times have changed since their grandmother be- came a vagabond. Now they settle ~down, soon after arrival for a visit, with a small blond head on either of my shoulders and a lanky ten-year-old stretched at my feet, With hard little chins digging into both of my collar bones, and a pair of incredulous blue eyes gazing at me stories about my "adventures". The one they like beat is the tale about the arrival of a new baby on the train between Vancouver and Jasper Park last summer, when train crew members proved more excited than the young mother. She was an indian girl still in her teens and she boarded the train at Blue River. Before we had travelled far, frantic wires were being sent ahead for a nurse or doctor, to board the train and relieve the con- duceor of his enforced responsibility. In the wee small hours of the morning, while most passengers snoozed cosily 'from the floor they plead for more in their sleeping accommodations, un- aware of all the excitement, a lusty ba Los am Sng Canadian citizen, The small papoose was wrapped in numerous CNR towels and a huge blanket, His mother cud- dled him, as the pair was taken off the train and bundled into an ambulance at Jasper Park early the next morn- ing. The bairns are always a bit dis- appointed when the story ends. They seem to think that their itchy-footed grandmother should have played an important part in this adventure. I try to explain that it was excitement enough for me just to see the porter navigating the aisle of a swaying coach with a pail of boiling water in one hand and an armful of towels in the other, not to have participated in the actual birth of the baby myself. hero worship as far as their patrnal grandmother is concerned. That is why 1 have never told them I should probably have fainted right away, had I been faced with such a chore as tmidwifery, 1 experienced enough cold shudders when the porter rolled his huge black eyes at me as he said, "I've had six myself but I never birthed one yet. How about you?" 1 was just ready to fell him I was the legendary "Typhoid Mary" and not safe to have near a new born infant, when the train stopped and picked up not one, but two nurses.

It is so true to life that they can pick out the squirrels, bun- "| nies, huge old owl, ground hog and, of course, numerous birds, Most of all they are fascinated by the fact that 200 children participate in Saturday morning programs at the Swift's Brands of Beef museum.
