article in last weeks issue on Schmidt A Ride With Dutch so much that it brought to our minds an experience con cerning our small eightyear old son He had been greatly looking forward to going down on the big bus to spend the day in the city and we were comfortably seated when the driver came along for the tickets He took one look at my son who is very small for his age and said to me You really could have saved your money by carrying him on your knee I didnt look at Sonnys face for a few minutes but when I did all the joy had gone and when he finally spoke he said Mummy he thought I was a BABY I tried to make up all sorts of excuses saying the driver couldnt tell when a person was sitting down just how big he was etc etc but Son nys day was ruined and I knew it We travelled along in silence for a few miles when a man with crutches got on the bus It was quite full by this time and with out a word to me my little son got on my knee and said Have my seat sir Apparently the driver had heard him because after a few minutes the bus came lo a standstill between stops and he said in a very loud voice to the lame gentleman wonder if you would mind tak ing that empty seat at the back sir this young man is realty far too big to sit on his mothers knee I had no idea he was so big There seemed to be a general air of relief over the entire bus and when I looked at Sonny he was smiling broadly and saying Sec mom I guess you were right he did make a mistake Who was the driver who else but Dutch would trouble about a little boys feelings to the ex tent of stopping a bus on a busy highway and making that boys day happy again Newmarket s News MBS LAURA ROLLING PHONE KING r A FT- The Groat new DELUXE ELECTRIC RANGE M IN A N SEE IT TODAY HOLLAND LANDING Too late for last week Mr
