(The Summerside Journal)
Lowell Huestis had a paper route that extended north and west of his family home on Beaver Street. He would go down to the Journal office after school to wait for the paper to come off the presses, which usually happened between 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. In the winter time he and the five or six other boys waiting for papers would go down to the water's edge and "hop" ice cakes. On one particular occasion his ice cake started to drift out and he had to jump off. It was miserable having to walk around in his wet pants to deliver the day's news. For a large part of the time he was delivering, the Journal was a daily paper.
