More Doings
At Chimney Lak

.We tried a new experiment last weekend

and this time next year we will

give you a full account of whether it works

or not.

In common with a lot of Cariboo lakes,

Chimney Lake has little or no
beach surrounding it and there-
fore makes dangerous paddling
for the little fry who are liable
to step too far and disappear
from view.

Our lakefront is no exception
and so we are trying to do some-
hing about it. With the logging

peration working near our

roperty, it was a simple matter
arrange for the bulldozer to

jome over Sunday and carve a

all bay from the shoreline
hear our cabin.

And so with capable John
Lemky of Horsefiy atthe con-
trols, the powerful machine
pushed and shoved and cut out
yards of soil and pushed it into
the lake. We watched for two
hours and I was constantly sur-
prised at what these small jug-
gernauts can do. John drove it
right out into- several feet of
water in the lake, arid I bit my
nails waiting for it to drop off
the hidden ledge out of sight,
or to at least get bogged down.
But it turned and backed up
and stood on its nose, and never
faltered once.

_ This probably sounds naive to
a lot of you, but although I have
seen hundreds of bulldozers and
watched them work briefly at
odd times, I have never spent
any concentrated amount of time
on a job to realize what an
amazing machine it is.

I asked John if it was a hard
job to drive one, and he said
quizically “I suppose it looks
easy?” When I admitted rather
hesitantly that just shifting lev-
ers back and forth didn’t seem
too hard, he replied that it was
the continual jarring all day
long that tired a person out. And
I know that the two small Mit-
chell boys who jumped up excit-
edly to ride beside him on the
brief: jaunt from gate to cabin,
rode-With solemn faces and Ger-
ry confided afterwards “It sure
was bumpy.”

If the lake will just co-operate
now and swirl in to fill our bay
with clean sand, we can mark
it up as ‘mission successful.”

RIDING AGAIN

A cute story emanating from
our Chimney Lake holiday has
caused us many a chuckle since,
and it concerns those same
horses I spoke of last week.

On the morning in question,
‘we drove our car over to Petro-
witz’s ranch and rode the horses
back to the lodge. During the
day we shared the horses with
a charming American couple
from Oregon and their sixteen-
year-old son Erritt and eight-
year-old Susan.

In the evening we wanted to
go fishing, so Erritt and little
Susan volunteered to ride the
horses back and pick up our
car. When we returned from our
fishing jaunt, they met us at
the wharf.

“How did you make out?” I
asked with interest, as they were
Tank amateurs at riding like
myself. “Oh we weren’t sure of
the way and tried to turn back
at one point,” laughed Erritt,
“but those horses knew the way
home and they wouldn’t turn
back for anything.”

“And gee, we met a couple of
bulls who were fighting and
there was blood and gore all
over the place,” he continued.

“Gosh,” I breathed, “what did
you do? I would have been ab-

solutely petrified.

“We slowly moved close to
them . . .,” Erritt went on. We
listened in the breathless silence,
amazed at the courage of these
two youngsters.

“Yes... " 0 urged, ‘then
what happened? .. .”

“Oh I just honked the horn
and they moved off the road,”
Erritt returned calmly.

We stared at him for a mo-
ment before exploding into help-
less laughter, with young Erritt
gazing at us in wonder. He did-
n't realize that he had neglected
to tell us that they had met the
bulls on the way back secure in
the safety of the car.

As I have mentioned before,
Ward entertains us with pier
ing shouts of “cow, cow, cow’
on our way to and from Chim-
ney Lake. I remarked on our
last jaunt that “cow was one
of the first words that Elsine
had mastered when she was
small.

Leaning over from the back
seat with interest, Elaine said
“That was when I was a little
girl like Ward, wasn’t it? ...
