phone. We have all paved roads. There is very little farming done here now. Axel Irving and the Gosbee brothers are the only ones who grow large crops.

ENTERTAINMENT

In summer, there are beautiful clean beaches where one can enjoy corn boils, etc., swimming and boating, picnics and the annual tea parties, then in winter we enjoyed skating and coasting.

Years ago, those who liked to dance would plan “kitchen dances”, but in our home, the young people came and played different kinds of games, made candy, and had music. After church they would come in and have a “song fest” and the people were all so sociable in those days.

Today when friends drop in, it is usually to hear and watch TV. and no chance to have a personal chat.

At Murray Harbour, they had a Temperance Lodge, an Orange Lodge, also the Order of Foresters, where the men from the different district attended. Sometimes, in summer, one of the orders would have

a tea party to defray some worthy cause. We always had Temperance picnics and Sunday School picnics.

Each winter there would be weeks of “Revival Meetings”. How we loved to hear the testimonies of the dear old people telling of God’s good-

nss to them through the years. They were so sincere and thankful for all their many small blessings.

The older people would visit in the evening, and their great delight was to tell ghost stories. One favorite story was not about a ghost, but aobut a ship coming one night. They took a man ashore on a stretcher to Hume’s Point, and in the morning, there was a huge hole in the ground where a treasure chest had been removed.
