A brave at- tempt was made by a couple of people, but the weather and roads- superceded their effort. I The weather of the past week has been something to remember, certainly a conversation piece. If you are young, thevabundance of snow has been a delight. If you have reached the skating age. the snow presented quite/a chore in trying to keep rinks clear for ska- ting; and if you are older, and need fairly rapid transportation, you have been giving the snow your blessing but wishing it would not pile up in so many inconVenâ€" ient places. But be you younger, or older, you could not but have rejoiced in the spectacle that‘ Mother Nature has presented at. the last two weekends. A week ago the world was all aglitter as far as one could see â€" every stem of grass or weed or stubble coated thickly with ice, and with the sun shining so brilliantly we were in a fairyland. And on Mon- day morning of this week, what a Christmas card scene met one’s View! Snow everywhere â€"- on every little twig of every little bushror tree, and on the big ones too! And sunshine! How blessed we are! We feel a compulsion to write about the weatherâ€"- it has been so gorgeous, yet withal so damag- ing to one’s scheme of things. In Headford, hardly anyone has tra- velled except where the business of life is taking them, so there is a dearth of news.

Fitzgerald Day dreams were undoubtedly woven in to the warp and weft of the decorative dark blue and white coverlet made about 1794, but they would be the immediate dreams of a young girl happily filling a marriage chest. rather than vague images of a distant fu- ture. The maiden who prepared and spun the flax and wool, ahd hummed as she thrust the shuttle of the big loom back and forth, :became the wife of Captain Rich- ard S. Stephens, and did not guess that her painstaking handiwork would outlast them both by many decades. After more' than 150 years the old coverlet is still in perfect condition, and a treasured family heirloom which continues STEEL llNTELS l BEAMS Are Shown above following their wedding in Dufferin Heights Kingdom Hall on January 3rd, 1959.

Bur- roughes’ middle name, appears In each generation of the family re- corded in the big calfbound Bible and stems from the great friend- ship of his Scotch presbyterian great grandfather. the Rev. Dan- iel Struthers, and the famous Car- lyle: ' i ‘ 'Captain and Mrs. Stephens, who were of United Empire Loy- alist stock, first lived in Prince Edward County, then settled in Kent County near Chatham. Captain Stephens was-active dur- ing the Rebellion of 1837 and re- ceived a medal for his services. A member of the Stephen’s family owned a farm near Dresden at the back of which lived Josiah Hen- son, the Uncle Tom of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin." Mr. Burroughes’ mother remembered him as a dig- nified old negro with snow white hair, 'and a heavy’ silver watch, which had been given to him by Queen Victoria, and which he was proud to show. Mr. Burrough‘es also possesses an interesting 60 year old “log cabin” quilt made of strips of fine woollen material, in a colorful and carefully thought out design. Not a'stitch is visible though his grandmother was 83 at the time, and sewed without eye glasses, something her family attributed to the gift of second sight. to evoke great interest and ad- m-ration. A few years ago it was viewed by thousands of people when exhibited at the Roy- al Ontario Museum. We were privileged to examine it recently at the home in Thornhiil of Mr. Roy C. Burroughes, a great grand- son of the maker. and reflected that though modern machines can duplicate the old coverlet pat. terns to perfection, and in a frac- ‘tion of the time. they still cannot capture the intangible quality of distinction that clings to well de- signed, and executed, hand made articles. This particular coverlet was woven of linen and wool in an all over geometric pattern described as “China,” and to touch it is to touch hands with a bygone era.
