The stampede brought nostalgic mem- ories to Mrs. Houtz who is Texas born and bred. Although he comes originally from Pennsylvania, Mr. Houtz also lived in Texas for many years and son "Hoot" was also born there so the stampede was just like going home for the whole family.

Mr. I-Ioutz and his friend were dismayed to find their small boat in the midst of a pack of killer whales who were feeding on the salmon. As these great beasts are renowned for their ugly tempers.

In Richmond Hill and District, no person of open mind will do else than honour the Army, which has become part of our social, religious and welfare structure. But it wasn’t always so. for back in 1885. in April. “The Liberal's" Thornhill correspondent sent along a progreSs report on the organization's effort to establish itself in that village. which shows the Army besieged by the enemy. On Sunday. April 19. the Army "struck Thornhill". People out of curiosity came from near and far until Victoria Hall was liter- ally packed with sight-seers. The unknown correspondent took a dim view of proceedings for she (or he) wrote: "One got up and reada portion of the Scriptures who. we are confident. could not write his own name; in fact. they are not ashamed to acknowledge this. All we have to say is. that they must have spent their time very poorly indeed. in this nine- teenth century. when a child no ‘ matter how poor his parents may i be. can receive a Free Common ‘ School Education. I think we live ' in an age when an education is _necessary to the correct interâ€" pretation of the Scriptures." ' In modern parlance. the Army's initial success was a “doozer”. I but alas for quickly slaked spiri- tual curiosity, enthusiasm for the Army faded. for the following Saturday evening the brave. flag-waving march down the street attracted practically no attention. Army's ‘ The correspondent assumes. loftily. that while the Army may do very well in large cities. it was unnecessary in small vil- lages. The dispatch continues: “One of the leaders. we are in- formed. said that when they once set their foot down in a place they never left it. We are not going to question this. but your correspondent is informed that‘ a similar statement was made by them when they first landed in Woodbridge, but after about three months’ labour. they took their departure.“ Having dealt rather severely‘ with the Army the writer said, with pious pomposity, we regret: “We do not wish to injure the Salvation Army. but hope they may be instrumental in God‘s hands in accomplishing good.” And, it may be added, however unnecessarily, that this hope has been more than realized every- where in Canada and beyond since that long-ago time. It is not without interest to speculate upon those members of the Salvation Army. how they judged their prospects then and with what degree of trepidation the individual faithful moved about among hostile and unkind circles. There can be no doubt but that the present great organ- ization owes a tremendous debt to those pioneers whose initial struggle and persistence has since enabled thousands of their fel- lows to “strike” large areas of the world for inestimable good. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a floor- lengvth gown of white nylon and Swiss lace. with a dropped waist- line and bouflant skirt. Her finger-tip veil fell from a floral headpiece- and she carried a bou- quet of white ga‘rdenias. stepha~ notis and ivy. Attending the bride were her sister-in-law. Matron of Honour, Mrs. Valerie McKittrick. brides- maids Mrs. Mary Jane Ranson and Miss Glenna Somers, and flower-girl Judy Agnew, The bridesmaids were gowned alike in full-skirted. ballerina-length gowns of pink taffetta, with em- broidered white silk organza over- skirts.

The correspondent writes: “But it was too soon, as not a rebel had yet been captured."

By Elizabeth Kelson WALK WITH BEAUTY Walking in the country is certainly different than walking about the city. In the city. walking is used chiefly to get from where you are to where you want to be. In the country, walking is an all-absorbing oc- cupation in itself. One of the joys of walking in the country is the sense of freedom it gives you. You are tied to no time-table. and the slave of no road. Any country road is an invitation to adventure. Any intrig- uing sign is apt to tempt. you to wonder and investigate. What liberty is there like this? You have cut your moorings from- the world. You are far from telephones and newspapers and all the frenzies of life are behind you. You are alone with the lonely fields and the wide sky and all the elemental things that have been from the beginning and which will outlast the tortured drama of man. The very sounds of country life . . . the harsh cry of the crow . . . the incessant chatter of chipmunks as they scamper about from tree to tree . . . the lowing of cattle in the farmer’s field. all add to this sense of primeval solitude. To these sights and sounds the wood- ed bluf’fs have echoed for countless years and the rush- ing of the winds and waters will echo a hundred years from now. At the Chateau Lake Louise. Ban‘frf, the Townsends visited with Helen Si'mcoe of Elgin Street, Thornhill. You keep on walking until it seems as though you have passed out of time into eternity, where a thous- and years is as one day. There is no calendar in this dateless world. The partridge that you have startled from its hiding-place under the brush has a lineage as ancient as the hills. and the vision of the bay and the islands of the lake that burst upon you as you climb the summit of the hill is the same vision that burst upon the first man who adventured into the fastness of the bush country. I started to write this article in praise of walking and I have found that I have written in praise of the high country and its attractions. But one can scarcely talk of one without the other, for it is to the pedestrian that these exquisite and natural beauties are revealed.
