What is the Biggest Change in Your Lifetime? Ramsay 1979

Ken Robertson-– The way everything depends on money.

George Robertson– The modernization of machinery. If you buy a piece of machinery today- in five years it will be an antique.

Bert Young– The amount of progress in the past twenty years compared to two hundred years ago.

John Henry- Hydro is also a big change- I remember when I heard kids at school talking about a radio, we thought it was a big joke and never thought we would see one.

Victor Kellough- The neighbours. They are not a s friendly as they used to be.

Mrs. Ernie Foster- The coming of the automobile. I remember the first time the Willis’s car went past the farm. I thought the world was coming to an end.

Ross Craig– There are so many new houses– the way some farms are now– some have gone to shambles.

Mrs. Jack Currie- The changes in Clayton. The old Clayton school was sold and turned into a residence. Then the old Clayton Hall was torn down and a new modern one built.

Mrs. Russell Barr–There are not any gypsies camping at the corner anymore. They came around and sharpened scissors and sold lace. These were quite reliable persons.

Mrs. Elisa Hilliard- Community spirit– something that has been lost. We should cling to the old rural customs before they change entirely.

Howard Sadler- The way people live. Outside of nearly every home there are two cars, a snowmobile and other miscellaneous objects
