1 Strange But True

By P. H. MacArthur

"When I was a barefoot boy with checks of ion." i saw how a country doctor's business is run, and at oui' neighbors I could in- spect the business of a miller and a smitiiy. which IS ever so inter- esting to small boys. And at my uncle's I saw what a former has to do when he prepares virgin soil for cropping. but ill once about such things I should neier stop telling you all I learnt. Our blacksmith. Robert Fizgel. (He is still hale and hearty) used to let me blow his bellow: while he tempered I piece of iron or shaped a horse- shoe. It was my first revelation

delicious flavour

M HI ommro IN. Ind I IOII my heart to it then. and have been in love with it. ever since. Auo tlicii. -Jenween spells oi tisiiing. 1 iiooit have a look mer the old girl mill operated by Duncan Hyuc and see how he made flour irom the golden grains of wheat. 1-Lvery day I visited the village genera; store and post office run by Mr. B. C. Webster. Inow retired in Charlottetowni. and watch in si- lence while he and his wife filled orders for their customers. Then there was the old butter - and -cheese factory operated by John Ellsworth Istlll a resident of Corn- wallt and watch how he made the curds into delicious cheese. matiy a delicious slice of which went down my gullet, and if you have not seen cheese in the mak- ing you know nothiing about it at all. though you may eat some every day. I would visit the wood- working shop operated by the late Donald Macphail and eye him with interest to see if he would cut off a finger or drop some heavy piece of wood on his toes. Now I have got a sort of busin- ess of my own. and I work at it when the spirit moves me. But even if I were to sit in the middle of the road doing my stuff I don't believe a single boy or girl would stop to look at me juggling a quill - to see how a cnliinin is brought into being. I dont say that it's a useless profession: but it's not one of the superlative ones such as l have tried to picture above. and the material used is of a stran- ge sort- you donit even see it. The ringing anvil of the smithy and the odor of new born cheese and butter and the creaking of the old mill and the wliir of the workshop are meni- ories indeed. So for all the men who did such astonishing things before the fascinated eyes of a country boy.

After a long but futllo huddle, South guessed wrong-he put in the king-and the opponento dashed off four opode tricks.

South ahould not have had to guess the spade situation; ho ohould have handled the diamond ouit more realistically. The right plan was to cash the ace and king in an effort to keep West off lead. south could well afford to lose a diamond trick to But.
