down the fourth on the way to lake simcoe you might go right through this here and chopped the grist in tiij s so rsht this various different bam snolglltx it was certainly a handy way of living some of the farmers in the township even sold their horses and bought tractors and of course every body had to have a car the town ship plowed all the roads and it seemed foolish for a fellow to keep horses around the place eating their heads off along came the war at first it didnt affect us very much oh e got all worked up about it and start ed telling each other how patriotic we were we had
