sunny warm morning on a plans are being made and worked out for a 120 mile auto trip to think 1 am really going to ee the place and vicinity in which i lived for twelve years some time ago is heard from the lips of an easterner because of a busy day ahead it was decided to lake lunch along which was quickly prepared and packed by the westerners wife by nine bells all preparation was completed and five people three westerners and two easterners were seated in a car the second scene of our story take place while travelling over the prairies in the car that is going south and east from the place of starting nothing of scenic import ance could be reported by two of the westerners nd one of the easterners but to hear the other two talk it was really a wonderful bridge supplanting geometry were two of the suggestions presented to the convention of the associated high school boards of oitario last week the first suggestion came from dr a- c lewis dean cf the ontario college of education toronto who denounced ontarios oxcart school board system and argued against the present duplication of administrative bodies public- school boards separate school boards continuation school boards and high school boards he suggest ed that a merger of all these into district bjjards of education would ixith increase administrative eilici- ency and provide a wider choice of school trustees wants overall boards we must he said get away from these small sections and drive both of them having gone boards and set up an overall board over thi- same country many years j eac district to take the child ago not in a car but in wagons and f elementary school to univei- carriages so we will just listen s while they talk the second and more novel sug- well say says john as we will was made by norman g s cail the easterner this country is ingrain president of the assbcia- surely improved my when 1 went u mr jgram a former geome- across this country there were no trv teacher held that reasoning buildings there at all and look at ability so essential in development those hills harry the westerner 6f the stu could be more easily there are the buffalo hills 1 used in deciding whether south to go around the foot of those hills loading from an ace than in on the wagon following the prairie demonstrating that parallel lines trail and do you remember that house we used to always stay there for the night but it looks as though that house is deserted now do you remember the dam john that we used to drive over with our horses the dam was built to hold water for irrigating purposes for the southern part of the coun try my wife was always scared the horses would get foxy when going over there and then down over this high dam of 30 feet we would go but it never happened say what are we coining to here savs john this surely is not milo is- it my but it jias grown when i used to come here all there was here was a station and a post ollice and look here why this lease is all fenced in it used to be all prairie do you re member the trail over the hills going back to my farm at this time he was interrupted by a question from the driver ask ing which road to take go straight ahead or turn east as neither harry or john knew job- got out and inquired at the farm house on the corner it would have made you laugh to watch this wiyearold easterner run in and around the buildings trying to find a person who could direct us to armada he was young once again at this part of the story johns wife she being his second wife had never seen this country before enters into the conversation by saying that he should not run so much for the sake of his health anyway soon we saw the runner coming out to the road motioning us to turn east so away we went again expecting soon to get to our destination john says harry you better be careful or you will be going past your place as i think we will soon be there no no boasts the easterner i will know my old homestead say what is that is thutarmada oh no it cant be well here is cranes place so 1 guess that beyond must be arm ada well if that dont beat all here i went past my old place now isnt that something my i never thought i would do that how did i do that 1 guess i must have been looking west at the time well i told you you had better be careful or you would be doing that and as the driver turned around it was really hard on the pride of the easterner to think he liad gone past his oid place the third scene is made up of driving here and there around armada up and down over the hills going around some of hem and calling on old friends again the easterner was using his ycung legs opening and closing gates running here and there finding his old friends we ate our lunch beside the church he used to attend to our surprise the church door was unlocked so we walked in the easterner pointed out the two benches which he and his family of seven used to occupy years ago before leaving we sang a song my father has many dear children some happy and sad remember- ances came to his mind of limes spent in the sacred spot we visited for a very short time in live different homes some recogr nized john at first sight while others did not until he spoke to them for a while then did word fly between them asking about the members of their families and other friends of the community the place he had left some twenty years ago while passing through the town of vulcan on our return trii he met more of his old lime friends by s oclock that evening we were all kick where we started from rather tired but clad for the experience of the day especially the one easterner who said he would never forget the occasion do you wonder who the easter ner is he is a man living on the sth concession of maikliam and
