Strange "But True

By F. H. MacArthur

Once each spring I used to ac- company granddad on what he. chose to call "A little outing." The little outing meant a journey of perhaps fifteen or twenty miles in in truck wagon to get our seed oats. Granddad never did tell me why he went so far afield to get his seed. especially when our nefghbou had plenty of the same variety and quality. But if the old man chose to keep his motive a secret far belt from me to pry into the matter. Besides, if he bought the grain from one at our neigh- bors both of us would have been out our little adventure.-I use the word adventure here because it was always lust that. every spring granddad and I set out to get our seed oats.

It seemed to me then that granddad always took the longest was to get to any given point. Per- haps the little outings were plan- ned that way. I wouldn't know. Anyway, we took a long time getting somewhere. quite a long

lme making our purchase. and a long time getting back home again. All in all. the trip took up every- one of the daylight hours. And what with the shaking of the truck wagon over thr- rough stony roads, we were both tired out and happy to know that it was all over till

another spring. .

Tho last "little outing" that iyranddad and I had together took us to a home where three bachelor brothers hung up their hats. It was the norm hour: and the thre- lnvlted us to dim-Ir and we stayed l)PCallSF' they told its they had bl-ick Norway oats for sale. Boy-llkc. I made It quick survey of the kit- CTIPII taking in with a single glance every bit of furniture it containe-'l. The slave had A dizzy lean to- wards the door and I wonclercd how the brothers managed to kc-op the coals and ashcs from flying a- bout the room.

Anothcr thing that drew my nt- tenticn --yea and fascinated me. was a pair of fame pigeons porch- ed on the bowl of ivmshr-d souls and holping themselves. 'I'h.1t.'s when I -zlancnd at granddad. only to see that ho was vmlflng the bachelor's cooklnr as though it was out up by a French ch:-f.Aflcr looking some more I decided that my mvn arrmetitn was not up to nar. but I did manage in force down snmn cnoklell and put the .-nur bread on my plate into my coat pocket. At home. I was al- ways taught. to be polite evcn though it had to be fnrcerl-rinrl hore everything had to be forced -down.

”How'd you likn the dinner?" I flunk at granddad when we were on our way home.

"Fust rate." he lied. "But dnn'f' let tho women hear a word about what you saw back there or it will ho your Inst trio with me. I promised I'd kc-rvp miun. but the moment I got mothnr and -zrandmn behind the iron curtain I unfold- ed the whole story to them on condition that they keep U10 l”0C' ord out of grandd.-id's hearing. And they must have kept their promis- es for never again did I hear any- thing about the bacholor bro- there.

sometimes I wr-nl with Hand- dnd to get our flour ground into wheat. When I got tired of looking at all the pulleys and belts and wheels that drove the machinery that ground the golden train. I would go outside tho mill and watch the turning of the old watcr whr-cl in its cncasemr-nt at the far cnd of the flumc; . -

Above the din of the moving ms- chlm-ry one could hour the shores nf the mm who slept soundly whilc wuitlm: their turn. Many of them had come long distances over bad roads and among such it was the custom to stay in the mill un- til they could leave with -their grlsts. others sot about the box stove and talked about the west- ther or spun yarns of other days. when I was a bov the -rrist mill and the forge were very important links in every community. Indeed they were favorite meeting nltcrs for the farmers to air their petty gripes against the governments. and what have you. I can recall granddad's freouent visits to those niaces though I am quite sure the horn: didn't. always need to be shod or the wheat to be ground inf.) flnur. I think grandma would bout me out in this statement if she were llvinll now.

Cl-IARLOTTETOWN

The automotive industry today ranks as Canada's second largest manufacturing industry, being sec- ond only to the pulp and paper industry. Mayor .1. D. Stewart stat- ed in an address before the Char- lottetown Rotary Club yesterday.

"centuries ago." the speaker said. " man began an increasing struggle into space and time, in a battle to burst through the bar- riers of distance. The first great victory in this struggle came when man invented the wheel. This de- vice gave man mobility on lind. It seems rather odd that the North American Indian never discovered the wheel. for this is the continent where wheels have come to sym- bolize a way of life. Wherever men gather together today. you will find an automobile of some dea- criptlon it may he a faithful model '1' still giving reliable service, or it may be one of those new stream- lined models. but wherever roads may wind, and indeed in many areas where the road disappears in jungle grass or in mountain rock. cars and trucks doggedly deliver their owners to their destination.

First Factory

"The first -factory to build cars in Canada was set up in an old wagon factory in Windsor. Ontario. facing Detroit, the automotive cap- ital of the world. The year was 1904, and the venture then be- ginning was the Ford Motor Com- pany of Canada Limited.

"Building cars was then a slaw and tedious process. A stall ill seventeen put them tol.'9m"- DNA by part, using only one bench tool. it drill press. Sometimes a precision nut or bolt slipped down between the floor boards, and production stopped while someone went over tr: Detroit for a replacement item. The supply of money often ebbed as low as the stock supply. On one occasion the general manna" 01 the Company had to hit the road in sell one car before he could bill! material to build another."

"Total salaries that first year. for all the staff including tht general manager, amounted to 312.- 000. This seems pretty small whcri compared with the comfmllyi V,-we but last your inf more than e52.000.00(l. but despite the hard: shlps of that first year. the HI cars turned out were destined for hiatorlc significance.

"They were the forerunner: pf more than 3,000,000 cars to 06 turned out by the same company over the next half centul'Y- 1'” of us realize that in those same fifty years. some 2,500 makes of automobiles have passed throllilh the blueprint stage-
