his family. On a ranch In On
tario he played with Shaw, who
then was seven years old and
Herb was six.
"We hit It off real well," Herb
recalled. But the years slipped
by and they had no other op
portunity to visit.
When Shaw picked up the
lone fare, he had in mind that
this would be a good chance to
come around and renew ac
quaintances. He Is also close to Bob and
Bill Lowe. They are not direct
ly related but close enough to
consider themselves as related.
Shaw is a cousin of Hynd on
the latter's mother's side of the
family. The Lowes are cousins
of Herb on Hynd's father's side.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph fccott, botn
now deceased, once operated the
store at Cecil. Mrs. Scott (Lou
ise) was a sister of Shaw.
The taxi driver, who once had
fleet of six cabs but is now
taking it easier and has cut
down to the one which he drives
himself, is taking his time about
getting home. Since arriving in
Los Angeles he has done a great
deal of sightseeing and partic
ularly enjoyed the trip up High
way 101, which he said, is "the
most beautiful highway you
would ever want to travel." This
was the first time that he had
seen the Pacific ocean, and he
picked up some artistic speci
mens of driftwood that delight
ed him. Previously, he had made
two trips to Florida, so he had
seen the Atlantic.
Shaw plans to spend more
time here before continuing
back to Toronto, visiting with
the Lowes, the Hynds families,
with the relatives in Monument
and others.
He said that he is very fond
of Morrow county, even on his
first visit, and declared with a
laugh that he wasn't confused
by the traffic on the highways.
He is used to driving in a city
of 1,870,000 persons.
Since leaving Los Angeles, he
has rolled up 2311 miles on his
late model taxi, making a to
tal for the trip so far of 5803
miles.
When he and Herb made the
trip to Heppner Tuesday from
Cecil, Shaw started the cab's
meter.
"Whv. that thing registered
55c before we ever moved,"
Herb declared. "When we got to
Morgan it had rolled up more
than $5. I told him to 'shut that
thing off."
