Of course none of us has seen the wind but we often shink we do. We say-- "Look at that wind!" or "See it Blow!" Nat- wrally what we see ix only the ¥esult of the wind. And that is plenty! Last night when we went to bed everything .was quiet--there wasn't so much as a breeze; . it wasn't too cold and it had stopped snowing. But during the night there was a change. That wind, which ¢ouldn't be seen, could certainly be J : v heard. It howled round the corners p of the house; it rattled the shutters shrubs beat a tat-too on the win- dow partes. And I dreaded to think what it might be doing to the snow that fell yesterday. I longed for the might to be over but when the dawn came it meant only 'that we could sce as well as hear. We could watch the untrodden snow being whipped into swirling clouds by the unseen wind; we could see the snow rapidly covering last night's tracks; we could see it pulling up in the fence corners and around the stock trough--which means it. will have : : to be shovelled away before the . cattle can get a drink. SE. WII TI. And as I write there is Bob, dragging two cans of milk down the othe road on a toboggan. That to- boggan, by the way, is invaluable. Not only for milk--crates of eggs - are also transported in that way to the road; groceries, bread, empty cans _and empty crates-are brought home the same way. Infact. I am I wondering , if I have to go to town whether, I could go down to the: road in like manner, : J - But I am not worrying very much. about a trip to town, I am just a fair-weather shopper. When , road' and weather conditions are good I go to town. When they are adverse | . : -shop by proxy. Sometimes the i oi things get paid for and sometimes : : they don't. In that way we appear to be spending less money. But alas, a day of reckoning always comes. * x * "Partner also stays very much "to home" in rough weather.

Considering beef has taken another jump it might be a good move. * * * : Oh dear, this rising cost of living bothers me at times, not exactly for personal reasons but rather for the sake of those who have small, fixed incomes. You just .can't stretch a fixed income. When commodity: prices rise above the. level of a per- son's fixed income then there is only one alternatiye--and that is to go without the little extras that 'make life worth living for the older folk. In fact, in some cases it creates a very real hardship, It seems too bad for aging couples who have retired on a modest in- 'come, which they expected, by means of frugal living, to be suffi- cient for their needs, to find that - even with the greatest economy that is now impossible, And when they have to draw on their capital for emergencies, as sometimes happens, then their feel- ing of security is forever lost and worry becomes a constant com- panion in their declining years. x * * The accent these days is on youth--everything possible is done so that youth may progress along desirable lines. That of course is - as 'it should be, within reason. Youth should be given opportuni- ties to work. and to advance but not-to-take without. working, to ac- cept without giving, Could it be that youth is getting too much at- _ tention and not enough being given-- to those whose youth is-a thing of the past but who, by theif past work, and in their tax payments have, and still do, contribute to- -- wards the opportunities now made available for the young folk of today. C* * * There is very little assistance for people in the small fixed income so it would appear to be more of a - ways in which we who live on farms can help. If we have such friends it is worth considering, don't you _ think?" A few eggs from time to ~-time, a chicken- occasionally, later-- on garden produce--surely it could all be given without offence to anyone. How about it folks? |" The Golden Eagle | Shouldn't Be Shot On display at the Current River eagle with-a wing spread of 6 1-2 fect, taken 'to the school by a pu- pil whose father had shot it some 25 miles north of Port Arthur. Contemplating some comment on the shooting of such a bird, this. " newspaper (the Port Arthur News- Chronicle) made some further in- cuiry and was glad to learn that it 'was not a case of wanton "shoot- ing, as might have heen at first supposed. The -bird had been caught in a steel trap on a trap litre in the woods.
