trance to the little village of tara only 15 miles away because of glar ing ice on hills and along dales and after a heroic fight was forced to re turn to stouffville compelled to ad mit defeat we would not have our readers assume that mr smalley is anything hut a purposeful man and his en deavour to succeed on this occasion created enough trouble to fill a book the family car with his wife and two sons with hint was ditched on two occasions after many hair- raising escapes and to climax and end the day the car key was allow ed to fall down a register in a home where they had made an un expected call enroute home and this necessitated no end of trouble in pulling down pipes and rescuing the key we left stouffville early friday morning said mr smalley in- lending to spend christmas with mrs smalleys mother at tara roads were fairly good until we passed meaford when we encounter ed ruts and ice leaving owen sound we were forced to change our course to tara after slidding backward down a hill when i lost control of the car willing hands helped us out ot tho ditch where we came to a stop and we made an eftort liy another route progress was good until a hill was again en countered whore numerous cars were piled up some turning back we decided to turn back but in getting turned around our car land ed into a rut which necessitated a truck to pull us out concluded mr smalley it was later when visiting a rela tive in owen sound that the key was lost down the register as they were their coats over it as a finishing touch at the end ot tho day when energy was burning low out went the lights near meaford and another stop was made for repairs said mr smalley the old proverb that things are never so bad hut that they might be worse holds good even for this christmas day episode for mr smalley observed they wcro thankful that no one was hurt and their car was not damaged in the least miss ross supervisor miss mcdonald miss tindall c e watson christmas day was a
