Women Lose Race With

In an emergency run Thurs-

Willy George to the care of the

she had to pull over to the side
of- Big Creek road and deliver

Anahim Sisters,

the robust baby girl.

Flagged down frantically by
Willy George as they were driv-
ing by his camp near the school,
Hazel Henry and this reporter
learned that his wife was in la-
bour and the Catholic nurses
from Anahim Reserve were wil-
ling to come only as far as Chil-
co Ranch to get her. Would Ha-
gel please take her that far?
Word had been sent to Rona

shouldn't take long and we'll be
back in time to do the chores.”

THE SUFFERING WOMAN,
her husband and a few articles
of clothing were soon stowed in
the back seat, and they were off.
At Chureh’s it was found that
Rona had been unable to start
her car, and had desperately
phoned this news to Bambricks.
So two miles back up the road
Walter was warming up his
truck for the mercy trip when
the wires carried word that
Henry's blue Ford had taken off
with the patient on board. The
road was freshly plowed and we
rolled along smoothly, taking it
easy on the corners when we
realized there was no shovel
with us. Part way down the hill
we caught up to the snow plow,

My understanding is that il is
the responsibility of each mer-
chant to clean off the sidewalk
in front of his premises. Surely
they can spare a few minutes
each morning to devote to keep-
ing our sidewalks safe, or a few
pennies to pay a school-boy to
do it for them. I think they are
probably losing out if they don’t

clean off their sidewalks, for it
is no encouragement for resi-
dents to shop at home. It is

probably safer to mail a letter
to one of the Vancouver depart-
ment stores.

Rock salt, which can be pur-
chased cheaply at any grocery
store, works wonders on ice,
softening it to the stage where
it can be easily scraped aside.

Although there is a by-law
which says the merchants and
householders must clean the
sidewalks in front of their prem-
ises, I think the Village Com-
missioners too are lacking in
civic pride if they don’t enforce
the by-law.

How about it boys?

I don’t suppose authors ever
think of the far-reaching effects
of their books as they work over
their manuscripts, but I heard of
two instances this week of fam-
ilies pulling up stakes and head-
ing for the fabulous Chilcotin
after reading Rich Hobson's
“Grass Beyond the Mountains.”

Bill Christie told me of one
man who left a lucrative job as
a pilot with TWA in California,
and with his wife sought the
rugged pioneer life of the cow-
boy. They bought a small spread
near Nazko and stocked it with
a few head of cattle, but unfor-
tunately the stock was still too
young to be worth anything on
the market this fall — and the
young man had to look around
for temporary means of support.
He applied* for and got the job
of teaching 26 pupils at the Naz~
ko School, probably earning as
much in one year as he made in
one flight to Tokyo and back be-
fore.

According to Mr. Christie,
they are completely happy. ‘Their
love of music is apparent in’ the
fact that while a 1500-watt unit
yenerales enough power for the

|

Hammond electric organ they
trucked in to their remote home.
they have to use propane for
their lights and cooking.

Mr. Christie met another fam-
ily a couple of years ago who
had left their home in Alberta
and travelled by jeep to the 3
mantic Cariboo, The husband
was overjoyed to actually meet
and talk with Andy Christensen,
one of the ranchers mentioned
in the book, and was then on his
way to see Rich Hobson himself
in the Peace River.
