Cars When cars were first introduced, they weren't welcome because they frightened the horses. For this reason, a petition was circulated to ban automobiles from the roads. However, this failed. The first car to travel on the got stuck in the saw-dust that blew from William MacLean 's saw-mill. The first cars in the district were owned by Ivan Linkletter , a touring car (make and year not known), Ernest MacAusland (1931 Chevrolet then 1938 Pontiac), David Ramsay (1930 Nash) and Arthur Newcombe (1927 Model T Ford ). The early rules of the road stipulated that the car-driver had to stop when he saw a horse and wagon approaching and lead the horse past the car. The story went that on one occasion, when the car-driver went to help, the owner of the horse said, "never mind the horse ....lead Mum past the car instead". Roads Roads in the earlier times were, in some spots, tree-lined and could be only used by cars during the summer months. During the winter, after a storrri; the men of the district would break the roads with horses and sleighs, sometimes taking to the fields. In the 1930's, road building took on a new look. Men, many from this district, were hired to rebuild, with picks and shovels and horses and dump-carts, the which was paved as far as Richmond by about 1937. Wages were about $2 per day with another $1 paid per day if you had a horse and cart. The was the next project for these people. Every dog-owner had to work one day to pay the dog tax. Once, on a very hot day as men were working to pay their dog taxes, Lloyd Milligan complained, "here I am working in the heat to pay my dog taxes and my dog is home lying in the shade". Gravel was hauled by teams of horses from Les MacLean's pit in Lot 14. It was also hauled in by freight car and then to the work site. The first snow-plow to be seen in this area was in the mid-40's. The was paved in 4 or 5 different spurts, starting in 1963, with the final section being completed in 1968. Farm Tractor The first farm tractor, complete with steel wheels, was owned by Woodland Colwill, (Farmall). Most of the farms in the area were equipped with tractors by the early 50's. Reginald Birch 's was the last farm in the community to use horses. 4-H Club A 4-H (Holstein) Calf Club was organized in the fall of 1948 and operated until the early 60's. This club taught and practised the importance of breeding, feeding, keeping records, showmanship and judging of dairy cattle, as well as conducting a meeting and public speaking.
