I had brought my family to this town' one Sunday to have a look at the sights, as we hadn't been here before. On the way out of town, we drove around the side streets to admire the fine homes. \That's odd,\ I said to my wife. \There's a big, new facto- ry smack in the middle of the residential section. They don't usually allow that.\ Then I saw the roadblock, out in front of the sprawling, one- storey factory. There was a grim gent beside it, well-dressed but with a sort of wild glint in his eye. He flagged me down. I stopped. He came over to ie car. \Can you see out of at least one eye?\ he queried. I assured him that I had 40-40 vi- sion, or something of the sort. I thought it was some kind of kooky, plain-c 1 o-t h e s-police check, the kind you run into when you've left your driving license in your other pants. \Ever teen to a wnversity?\ he shot at niei I said I ! 4 been *° Oxford. I rmenitier spending a whole d^^liii war, girl \Have you, any' erases?*', was .the jn •a^i^^j * W*«tner mmm ble, but not all the time, and sot all at once. But he wWt lkrten- in* He b«d the car door open and me by the arm, and ma When we got inside, he shoved me into a chair, and I waited, fearfully, for the bright light in the face, and the rubber hose. But he fooled me. He stuck a confession under my nose and snarled, \Sign there.\ I signed, wondering what had become of Magna Carta, Habeas Corpus and my family, out in the car. It was not until he offered to show me the gymnasium and the cafeteria that I realized the factory was a high school, and that I had just experienced the hard sell on teachers. However, it wasn't much of a switch for me. I know that the jump into teaching, from big in- dustrialist, shoe salesman or short-order cook has been a traumatic experience for some people. You can see them any day, tottering white-faced to- ward the staff room, after a double period with 10Z, the ter- ror of the school. But I had little difficulty in making the adjustment. After all, I had been a weekly news- paper editor. In that job, you spend most, of your time telling people things they don't listen to, and, urgingthem.to do things they don't want to; do. I found these invaluable training for my teaching aes^rjeer. And I must admit that things have gone wefli KB- three years, I fought my way up to a depart- mei^b^l^r.^il^roQk.

Btwiy \ * * 1906—An Italian 'hurdy-gurdy 1 playing his hand-organ ihfeont of the old St. Lawrence Inn at Gouvemeur, N.Y. He would play a selection or two - then the very human-like monkey would take up .a collection with his tin cup, picking up the pennies, nickles and dimes arid I suppose an occasional quarter. Someone waved a dollar bill from a third story window, and shouted, \Come up and get it! \ The Italian tried frantically to get the monkey to climb up the wall; but the monkey couldn't make it up that slippery (Gouvemeur) mar- ble wall - the Italian looked up at the person with the bill, and shouted disgustedly, \Theesa Goda dama monk', she's a lacka am- bish'!\ ******** 1905-1912—Going to Gouvemeur on Saturday night, by train. Leaving Bigelow(Richville station)on the 'FOUR-17', eating supper at \Gene\ Kentfield's, going to the show, having a dish of ice cream at the 'Crystal Palace'; returning home on the \ELEVEN-15' then hitching up the horse and driving the long cold four and a half miles home. Total expenses - about $2.00. (That included the fifteen cents I had to give Billy Scott or Jack Willard to hitch the horse in their barn). But - what a thrill to knew that you were a'man-of-tae- world.' \Gene\ Kentfield would let you eat as long as you could SWALLOW - for 75$. He'd keep watch of your plate, andjfir^he'd put on a big piece\ of beef steak - then, some pork-chops, next, hamburg - with all the Frenchfries and bread you could hold - pius many cups of coffee. That$2.00 included the co&of a hired milker, too. P.S. - 'pie, too.' ******** 1943—Speakin' of eatin' - duringthe sugar shortage of world-war two, I sold thousands of bottles of saccharin tablets to people to use in their coffee. Atone place there was a very large family, possibly, seventeen at the table. An old fellow who used to work ior his board and tobacco, lived there. One day he said, \Do you know, I t'iibsk deese pill 1 ' are makin' me dizzy! \ His •boss' asked him, \How many of them do you use in your coffee?\ - he replied, \Oh just A TEA- SPOON FULL, the same as sugar! \ 1918—Alvin Hamilton used to draw our milk from the farm .home to the milk plant at Hermon. He used a team and wagon, wit able rack; and had some of'the worst roads imaginable, espec in spring when the frost was goin 1 Out. One day he was very ] turning home, I asked him, \How are the rOads, AJyin?. H He : rather disgustedly, \Roads! Oh, they are alright; I went to 1 back on the new one. \THAT puzzled me - so I asked him where the new road was. He answered, \Just four and a half feet UNDER the old one! \ ******** 1904 (about)—Jackson Lalond's old one cylinder Cadillac. •Jinl'd' 1 Lalond lived in Richville, he used to operate a cheese factory there. Later selling out to the J.H. Horton Co., he v^as manager for some years. A farm kid would, rather see the Devil cornm 1 , then that old Cadillac. It sounded like a magnified Maytag washer gas motor* Horses were not accustomed to meeting cars on the road - and plain- ly speaking 1 , 'they rose Hell 1 . Many'times I nave started UP one of those steep winding country road hills, with a horse or team hitched to a milk-wagon, only to see and hear One of those devilish old noisy cars make its appearanceover the top - comin* DOWN. Then -we all WENT DOWN - tne team and Wagon, backwards. If we didn't tip over and spill pur load' - we were lucky. I would rather drive in the middle of Montreal than take one of those horse and wagon trips again. .The expectancy of what MIGHT happen was generally,worse than What DH> happen. I wejff recall One,,day 5 when Dad 'sent mcHto RichvillewithOidTomMtchedtoths milk wagon, alone. Tom and I saw that old' Cadillac coming, at about the same time«~l he-fitto the fines an| STAYED «&$^y%£tM TomiHlD UNDER THE W^AG- * ON. He gave those wagon th&is one awful twist - but still they htU ' together. We came into town at the BIGGEST ANG1E anybody ever* did.
