Lyall MckayStuart McIntosh it appears to be a vee plough his was a straight plough made from a steam engine boiler
Valerie RodgerSure looks like the trees at Stewart & Isobel’s lane way.
Stuart McIntoshThanks for the pic Lyle. Great memories of that truck.
Stuart McIntoshI believe you sat on the right side to drive it. Barely enough clearance to park it at the back of his garage.
Peter MclarenErwin Gibson and Johnny Gibson both had army trucks that plowed township roads.
Robert ShanksClearing was done by Big Hitches of horses pulling and pushing road graders. The ones out front did the pulling while the ones out back pushed on an angle to stop the plow from being pushed sideways by the forces on the plow blade!

Glad to be home.

This is what winters used to look like…when snow came in December on a regular basis and lasted until March. As a boy in Poland, where this picture was taken in the 1940s, it meant great sleigh riding and snow forts, but what a job to keep the road open!
Teams of horses pulled wooden ploughs to keep a track open, and in this photo my great Uncle Robert MacDougall is standing on the sleigh, and I think Lennox Paul may be on the right. Aunt Jessie Paul’s house and the United Church are seen in the background
