hand tools. Today digging pumps in such a manner is against the environmental regulations of the Province. Cone but long remembered is Jerry, the shoemaker, one of the pioneers in the trade. In his little shop in the village he would sit on his one leg and tell stories to the children, of his misfortune in losing his leg. As he hummed along in his work, he would hold the shoe tacks between his teeth. If it was a school day he made sure the shoes would be finished before the bell would ring. For half-soles, children would have to go on Saturday, so as not to miss a day at school. In those tough times families not having enough footwear for all of the children, would send some of the children to school every second day, and to church every second Sunday. Jerry living through those rough years, when the shoes were finished, would take a lot of time to ask for the fifty cents that would be owed. Many times in sewing up the torn shoes he would say, no pennies needed today. Jerry, whose shop was always filled with young people, is long gone but his generosity and kindness are still remembered. Several of Jerry's stories, of his shoemaking days, came to light while researching some of the trades of the village pioneers. 140
