Rasmssamaa $149.95 RICHMOND HILL AS LOW AS AND UP In the summer C-y guided fisher- men along the rivers. In the fall he took out hunting parties, steer- ing them into places he had marked ‘where the big game browsed. In the winter he ran a line of traps that was twenty miles square and when the season was at full height and snow blanketed the earth with 'a. thickness of from ten to twenty- five feet, he holed up in his cafbin alone. When the blizzarsz came he merely fastened the door, repaired and cleaned his guns, went over his fishing tackle and perused the mail order catalogue until the snow stop- bed falling. Then he would take down his snow shoes and visit his traps. When he was 23, he found a Bible 'in the woods and in the Psalms and‘ the New Testament he discovered things for which his spiritual being craved. The command to “Love one another” was unique in his experi- ence. Dealing with nature in the 'raw, he saw very few instances of love. The big ones hunted and ate the little ones and nobody in the woods ever thought anything albout it. Cy thought that if you got peo- ple to love one another you would have a pretty fine world and he promised himself that he would do all he could to further the idea. By Charles McGuirk Q 9 6r WNWO”9WWW”W : There are cynlcs who say that if and Mary that each knew just how a pair of great lovers like Romeo l the other felt, about their Maker and and Juliet were locked in a room ‘ did not argue about it. together for two weeks, neither Mary never accompanied Cy into would kill himself for love but both I the woods in the winter. It never would be held for murder. leceurred to her to do__suo. Custom 90‘ Cy Jandreau and Mary, his wife, went through ten years of married life without ever even suspecting this disagreeable fundamental flaw which is present in almost every human being. If y0u had told them about it they would have looked, first at you and‘ then at each other thus sending the mutual message that you were quite a long- way off your nut. Why? Because they had proven otherwise. Cy was a woodsman, a product of the great open spaces. He was slim and wiry and‘ hard. His eyes were gray, his mouth tight, and mOStiy closed. He was iborn on the Colum- ibia. River, not far from where it spews its waters into the Pacific." The legend was that he was- 20 years old before he was thrown and had his first pair of shoes forced upon him. It wasn’t “true. The climate made shoes, heavy, warm shoes. ne- cessary all his life. But Cy certain- ly was a creature of the woods, the streams and the wild! places. He had’ never seen a town of more than 1,500 population in his life and he had no desire to do so. He did not know that when he reached that decision he joined a- vast army of idealists which have been taking an unmerciful 1heating for 1938 years. Being a practical man and no Mahatma Gandhi, he did not let his 10ve run over into the animal k3ngdom. Animals were his living and when he hooked a fish or found a marten, a lynx, an otter, a mink, a fox (1': a bear cdb in his trap, he knocked them on the head with the same impersonality that a good’ Christian country woman uses when she kills a couple of chick. ens for Sunday dinner. That'pmbably is an overstateâ€" ment, .but fundamentally it is true. It would take them longer than t-vTo Weeks to get sick of each other. Probably three. For ten years Cy and Mary loved each other as a husband and wife should. First, they were unhappy whenever they were out of each oth- er’s company. Then they found they liked each other. Finally, they knew every fault the other had. And they still liked each other. And* that is the true test of marriage. Mary was a mqre practical Chrisâ€" tian than Cy, because she was a more practical person. Stout and strong and fullobosomed, she looked the world as it was straight between lthe eyes and asked nothing frOm it that she could not get by her own efforts. To her, God was a rather remote Being, a lot like her taciturn father had- been in her very young childhood. He was to be reverenced because He was God, but He was not to be bothered with little per- sonal requests, because they would be merely annoying to 3 Being who had to run this universe. Reading Paul, he ihecame conâ€" vinced of the efficacy of prayer. He moved God into partnership with him. He let him in on evqrything "he wanted and asked Him to help him get it. It was surprising how profitable the partnership proved flor Cy even though he never asked for much. A new gun, fishing tackle, to have a prize hound sent back when he was lost. WONOOOMOMO”ONOM”ONOO”OMOONMOW It was characteristic of both Cy THE LIBERAL SHORT STORY SNOW THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO On the other hand, Mary wasn’t exactly herself. The job she was do. ing made her notional. If she was alone, she probably would ’be un- hdppy. And Cy didn‘t want her unâ€" happy. He mulled it ever in his mind, reviewing all the pros and cons, but he didn’t say anything un- til he had all his gear sorted and‘ about packed. Then: “Mary,” he said, “if you want to come mto the woods with me, I guess I can arrange it. I’d‘ like to have you. But I guess you know that it ain’t exactly the sort of life- a woman would crave, specially when she is like you are.” “I want to be with you, Cy,” Mary reiterated doggedly. Mary never accompanied Cy into the woods in the winter. It never occurred to her to do so. Custom held that a trapper lived and did his work by himself in the season when the northern world was ‘blank- eted with snow. 'Cy would go in about the last of Novemlber. If the winter was mild, which happened rarely, she saw him maylbe four or five times in a season. When it was normal she rarely saw him before late'Mai-ch when the ice started to crack up and' the snow to melt under the daily augmented strength of the sun. 'Cy didn’t say anything. He knew that women often got funny notions when they were expecting a baby. The thing a man should do was to give a woman anything she wanted, if he could. But this. was a big or- der. Men just dl'dvn’t take their wo- men into the woods to holle up for the winter. The life was too lone- some. And it was dangerous, too. You never could tell what might happen. Custom proved‘ that by frowning- on women following the trap lines, with their men. “Then you’ll :be with me,” Cy set- tled the matter. “I thought you would, so I’ve gathered your gear together. I’ll pack it tonight. We Ought to light out about tomorrow.” But when Cy and Mary had been married) ten years, Mary found herâ€" self expecting a baby. It was to arrive some time around June and when the time approached for C37 to go into the woods for the winter Mary found her-self unwilling to face those months alone. So Mary went ‘nto the woods with Cy. She changed his oneâ€"room 1012' cabin into a home fwo ho'urs after she arrived there. C‘v marvelled m‘ the way a woman could do the work she was» created To r‘o. He ate heifer that he had ever eaten at that sea- son of the year, in all his life. The first Show fell and Cy’s first catches promised a healthy and proâ€" fitable season. Then snow began to fall intermittently but steady. “The chances are against any mild winters in this section,” Mary ar- gued, a trifle sharply. “And I hate to be alone.” “You afraid‘, Mary?” “No, I ain’t afraid. But I never- facedl a job like this before. I don’t like to set about it all alone.” In mid-December the snow was at its height and CV began to linger, perforce in the cabin while snow die- scendec} day after day and the winds howled blizzard howls. “I don’t know what I’m going to do this‘winter, 'Cy,” she told him. “I don’t like the idea of not seeing you till spring.” “But may you will," Cy comfortâ€" ed her. “The fur on the animals is pretty light. That generally means a mild) winter.” Neither Cy nor Mary ever sus- pected that they had proven the exâ€" ception to the iron-clad natural law that two human beings cannot be holed up together for a long period without being brought to the verge of murder through ‘boredom. Mary had missed him so during the last trip that she began to cry when she saw him coming toward the cab- in, bent almost double under his load. She broke all the properties so far as to hug and kiss him when he came in and threw down the pelts. In‘ the third week, the snow let up enough for him_to make a cir- cuit of his traps. He found them loaded. Snow had fallen so deeply that the carnivera were glad to mill)â€" ‘ble at the raw meat in his trapsâ€" and die doing it. It. took him three days to gather in the harvest, skin his catches, rebait his traps and come in. On the last trap he cut his finger setting it. Then she noticed his hand. It was red and swollen. She looked closer at it. “You got blood' poison, Cy,” she said. “I’m going to have to open it up.” “Go ahead,” Cy agreed and watchâ€" The fourth Canadian reunion of the descendants of the late Nicholas Cober was held in Richmond Hill Park August 7th with an attendance 'of three hundred. Canadian cousins gathered from the counties of York and Waterloo and the districts of Niagara and Nottawasaga and' other "parts of Ontario. Guests were also present from the States of New York, Pennsylvania and OklahOma. The morning was spent in a social way and registration, dinner being served at 12.30, aiter which a pro- gramme of interest, was enjoyed by all presided over ‘by the President, Mr. J. C. Fretz of Kitchener. The musical part of the programme, un- der the direction of Rev. Jesse Steckley of Gormley included the singing of old and well knOWn hymns land‘ quartette selections. ‘ed while she slit open the hand. That night it snowed. The next day it snowed. It was still snowing the day after and Cy’s hand \got as 'big as his head. Frequent lancings did no good. Cy took to his bunk and thought of his Partner. He be- gan to pray to Him. He explained [just how everything was. It was i going to be a record breaking sea,â€" Eson along the trap line and Mary, ‘lhere, was expecting a youngster. iWould it be all right if He let Cy be cured so he could get, together ‘,enough to su-pqport the youngster and Mary?

A short address of the Canadian Cofbers was reviewed by the oldest memfber present, Rev. P. Cober ovi’ Kitchener. His grandparents, the late Nicholas Cuber and his wife, Eva Fisher, from whom all the Canâ€" adian ‘Co'bers are descendants was one of the first five families to settle on Yonge St. directly north of Thornhill in the year 1796 receiv- ing from King George III of Eng- land a deed of the land, to which document the King’s seal was at. tached‘. The following officers were elect- ed‘: Hon. Pre.,., Rev. P. Cober; Pres., J. C. Fretz, Kitchener; Vice-Pres, E. Swalm, Duntroon; Sec., V. L. Gober. Kitchener; Treas., Leslie WiI- mer, Preston and] Nelson» Bechtel of Preston. An invitation was, read' from the Coibers in the state of Iowa to at- tend their reunion to be held near Des Moines on September 4th. On behalf of the cousins in the United States andl the visiting cou- sins, Mr. Wm. Coiber of Belle Ver- non, Pa., and Rev. La. Rue Cober of Rochester, N.Y. brought greet- ings from across the line. An address of welcome by Bishop Alvin Winger was replied to by Rev. Simon Cober oxf Kitchener. The President, Mr. J. C. Fretz of Kitchener, spoke on the value of the family reunion and how to make a success of it, Mr. Fretz emphasized the noble and Godly heritage handed] down to this generation by the early settlers who came to this part of the country from Pennsylvania, but felt that no generation could rest on the laurels of their forefathers, but each and every generation must re. solve to live up to those standards which make for high and holy living and better citizenship. Rev. Joseph Cober in a short ad'- dress paid" tribute to those who had passed away since the last reunion in Kitchener in 1936. i In the morning Mary slipped into a pair of snow shoes and Ibegan a wviendz parade out in the open in Iftont of the cabin.
