SOME WINDHAM COUNTY PLACES
 Dear Friends of the Social Corner: Some people spend their vacation one way or another--as we all differ, SO must our enjoyments diffef. Our eldest and family advised us they would leave Rochester on August 19 and without de- tours it Is BIT miles here. We calculated they would arrive at least on Sunday ! evening-but after we had retired Sat- urday night about Il p. m, we heard fla miliar volces-dressed quickly ss possible
 tyou- mothers know whep in a hurry how your garments came-wrong side out and wrong side up) and as these visits come only once year we hasteneds to. give them hearty welcome.
 The children were both fast ssleep-can you wonder when making the trip in one day? Their daddy " as anxious that we see his surprise to us-a new seven passenger Cadillac and too long for our garage-but through the kindness of a brother Mason he was able to house 1t nearby. We rested on. Sunday, What few there are left of our immediate fam lily go to cemeteries in the town of Canterbury-and on, account of three miles of miserable road we have to go 1 many miles to reach them. Our ralte this time was to Hampton where we took in a cousin, then to rooklyn and on to Dan- ; ielson whers we called on R. c. Rawson and his father Dennis Rawson seven months over 100 years old.
 He was up the day before but did not feel like getting up the morning we call l ed, How fortunate to have son who has so recently been deprived of his own eompanioH-giving such care and atten- tion to his aged father as he certainly seemed to. Such children are scarce. Americans do more for their children than other natlonalities and I fear the aged are more neglected by their children than others. read the Chinese respect their parents for what they have been. Do we ? Seems to me there has been return of many old fashion articles and ways of doing things but the disciplining of the young has not yet returned. I do not care for the return of the ''No ma'am, Yes fna'am," but do dislike to sec a child of tender years not in command of quite as much.
 From Danielson we went to wauregan and oyer Black Hill to Canterbury, where we decided to eat our luncheon un- Hder the trees by the school house where we had eaten. sbefores We thought there was drive clear around the church coming into town from a different direc- ton, so drove up the left side and found our mistake and to save our time thought lessly drove across the lawn-and as soon as we were anchored we saw man ap- preaching at good pace. Thinking as some of us were born in the town, his l object might be to give us a friendly handshake, but we found instead his call was to criticize our last act. For a few moments we felt like two cents; our car Appreciated in value instantly-but upon regaining our former amount of strength we had mind to find his residence and extend to him our hands for we then re- alized that he is one who has the good looks of Canterbury at heart and when we. Off spared) to go to the town next year we hope to see other Improvements there, Some we are anxious to see include a better cared for cemetery and I believe we shall. We called on Capt. Barker and wife as we usually do and enjoyed see Ing the curios. On our return we passed , drought Plainfield, which has pretty scenery and people are beginning to re- alize it.
 Westminster is q quiet place with a me view to the east but poor road 1 from Scotland Hope to hear or see bet ter conditions soon. After going tc cemetery by church and to the family lot
 we enjoyed the call at the old Peter spicer homestead, where we found one of the granddaughters who owns the place
 cleaning and settling as she fully intends
 to occupy the place permanently in s
 short time
