Some people just néver learn from experience and the writer | should have realized when he | eviticized ‘‘rutabages” in last week's newsletter that there would be a very logical explan- ation for what appeared to be a doubtful change.
We now have the. explanation from a highly placed official in ithe Federal service and we are glad to pass it along to our rea ders. In mu ch of the New Er gland States there has develop- ed a very definite association be- \tween the turnip and the comm- [unity of Dogpatch and its people the Yokums and Scraggs the |whole combination being definit- ely lower middie class.

is the cause of the decision in question, then it would appear fair for the Board to take the \public into its confidence and \reveal the real situation.
Originally it was that this board would eventually be able to finance itself\.on a revol: | \ving basis with pay s look- | ling after new business.

JAMES H, MacDONALD, 86, Melrose weighed 200 pounds when he and a companion rescued Patrick MacCormack and his 11.vear-old son, Gus, from drowning in a raging storm at | Launching on October 5, 1898. The sturdily built man who is six foot-plus, weighs 198 today, aimost 67 years afterwards and he was working in the woods with his son, John the day I visit- ed him recently.
It was my friend Dan MacLean, DeGros Marsh who told me about the rescue that Mr. MacDonald and Murdock Bouch- ard effected after several others had tried without success to reach the father-son combination that were clinging to the spar of their sunken boat, hoping that somebody would get to them before the storm .beat the life out of them. :
“McCormack was running with a fair wind, had two. barrels ef flour and one-bag of bran in his craft, when he jibed her for the beach at the West end of Boughton Island she sank in 22 feet of water,’ Mr. MacDonald recalled.
THE SEA washed the father and son on to the canvass of \ the sails and the father clung to the spar, while the boy clung
te His dad: The youngster had out his hand inside of his fath- er’s reefer coat and had grasped one of his dad’s braces. « Mr. McCormack, Senior told‘the rescuers that his son was dead when they reached him. But MacDonald tossed the boy over his shoulder as he started to carry him ashore, and the water ran out of the boy’s lungs, and he revived quickly, Mr. MacPonald told me. ;
== was working at Eliza -McCormacks and had gone toa field just about dusk, to cut corn. When I stopped down below the level of the corn, I could hear the cries for help.”’ -He.
_..-met..Murdock-Beuchard_and..they got a ‘Lunenburg Dory’. as.
they went out to-effect. the rescue This.type-of dory was-the-—{-
only thing that would tive in a storm like that.- “‘A dory of that- type would live where a schooner would drown", observed Mr. MacDonald who had been.an_ experienced seaman and a fish- erman at 19. The dory belonged to Danny McCormack.
Flour In Sea--Still Usable
, NEXT DAY the two barrels of flour had gone ashore on the opposite bank. Both were still usablé~after their spell in the rough sea, Mr. MacDonald told me. Water does not seep in more than one-quarter inch in a barrel of flour and that be- enmes-pasty-so-it-will-stop-further—wetting,_he-explained.—The- bran bag was torn apart by. the storm. **s-
A silver cased. Waltham watch was presented to Mr. Mac- Donald at the time by the Government of Canada “in recognition of humane exertion in saving life.’ The old watch is still -keep- ing good time, 67 years later. ‘ :
Mr. MacDonald has seen many changes in the intervening
~~years. One-of them that contrasts sharply with the past is illus- trated by the story of the roofing that is needed on the 70-foot MacDonald “main barn. It will cost almost as much to put new roofing on the barn now, as it did to build the entire struc- ture in 1927°', Mr. MacDonald told ane. Forerunrier Story Heard At Dundas
JACK MURCHISON, Glen William told me an—inferest’-g forerunner story .when we met at the Dundas Plowing Match. It was about 30 years ago and. said Jack ‘I took my mother one night to. a Women’s Institute meeting. at Angus Matheson’s. My father, Charlie Murchison, was home that night—he wasn't feeling very good. And about 10 o'clock he heard the horses— the one that Jack had over at Matheson’s—jump over a snow- bank in front of the house.”’
Going to the door he shouted “Is that you, Jack?” But there was no answer, for Jack and the horse was still at Angus Matheson's place. Mr. Murchison had put on his warm clothes and had gone to the.barn, in case the horse had come back along. But there was‘ no horse, ueither were there any tracks of a horse and sleigh in the snow.
But Sunday morning Jack told me ‘I had a request from Fv Harris in Murray River. His father-in-law had died and he wanted me to go down with the horse and get the rough board box at Murray River. The grave was to he dug at Caledonia.
ee hat’s The Noise | Heard”
“ #4 TOOK this mischievous horse to Murray River and when he came to turn in our lane—I had the rough-board box on the sleigh—he jumped and carried on, and he jumpéd over the snowbank in front of the house.
“My father who was sitting in the notse I heard Friday pight.”’
Alan Nicholson was in from Wood Islands and my mother was there as I drove into the, yard with Angus MacInnis’s rough-board box’’, Jack told me. '
When Jack was a youngstesr of eight. he recalls that he and the children were in the house of a Mrs. Bowles in Murray River. She was at prayer meeting at the time, and the child- ren at home heard a big racket in the pantry. It was in the bread box—it was made of tin.
“] HEARD an awful racket’, Jack recalls.but when he told his mother she told him ‘‘oh, it’s just a rat or something.”
But three months after that the old lady died, and they laid her out in the pantry, the place where the boy of eight years had heard the “awful noise’, sore % days previously
“My, mother carried the bread. box out into the porch and the cover fell into the tin box and made a loud racket”, I was told by Mr. Murchison who said it was the same noise he had heard, in the same pantry’ which-he had described” to’ his mother ~
