UKE ACK RABBITS. TRY 10 CROSS CORNER Signal System is Needed at Brock and Dundas Intersection (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Feb, 18.--The need of an electric stop-and-go signal sys- tem at the intersection of Brock and Dundas streets is becoming more apparent daily. In spite of the fact that it is the winter sea- gon there remains a heavy traffic on Dundas street, connecting as it does with the Kingston highway, and on Brock street connecting with 'the Lindsay highway, Al- though there have been no serious accidents of late the intersection is none the less a dangerous one and pedestrians must cross it in fear and trepidation for few motorists regard the law that foot passen- gers have the right of way at crossings. An illustration of this fact was geen last Saturday night when a middle-aged citize attempted to cross the intersection on the east side from south to north, Careful- ly' he lannched himself into the street, and advanced a few steps, only to beat a hasty retreat when a 'car bore down upon him from the east travelling at a good rate of next the post REPRESENTATIVE -- NEW MARTIN ~--THEATRE -- "STOLEN 1///: 1///7 /// .

A second time le essayed to cross but got just halfway to the sidewalk whem a ovur turned east into Dundas street from Brock street, Again the unfortunate ped- estrian had to leap out of dan- ger and then when the coast was clear he made a dash for the side- walk like a frightened rabbit, This fs by no means an extreme casé for many who find difficulty in navigating this intersection are women shoppers burdened with parcels or those who have the addi- tional responsibilty of piloting children through the traffic, Due probably to the warning signs which were erected at the corner upon the instigation of Chief H. Gunson ,the number of accidents have been reduced to a minmum, The fact remains,. however that careful people do not walk across this corner unless they have good reason to do so, The effect may be that the main business section of the town will become divided in- to two parts by Dundas street, This would be regrettable both from the standpoint of merchants and shoppers, The situation could be easily avoided, however, by means of a proper stop-and-go sys- tem, : FORMER RESIDENT OF WHITBY DIES (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Feb, 18, -- Word has been received here of the death of Mrs, Frances Bobier, widow of the late William Bobier, which occur red in St. Thomas yesterday in her 75th year, The deceased before her marriage was Miss Frances Wilson and will be remembered hy Whitby people, as she resided in Whitby for twelve years after com- ing to Canada from Ireland.

H, Jury Has Been Ask- ed to Try and Form These Societies (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Feb, 19.--~The Bowmanville Horticultural Society held its first monthly meeting of this year on Friday evening last, in the Council Chamber. There was a short business meeting dealing chiefly with the list of premiums to be offered, The opinion was ex- pressed that the options covers so large a field, the choice of shrubs and flowers being so varied, that all tastes would surely be satisfied and that joining the Horticultural Society surely offered an instance of that rare occurrence, 'getting some hing for nothing," The chief feature of the even- ing was an address by M, I. Han- cock of the Breokdale Nurseries, Mr. Hancock, who was until re cently Professor of Horticulture iu the University of Nanking, China, was obliged to leave China because of the disturbances, Being a man of initiative, he wrested even from this doleful circumstance, a novel and insiruetive experience. Instead of returning home directly by way of England, he travelled through Manchuria, Japan, Russia, Pnland and Germany, studying the ideals and methods of horticulture of the various peoples, Oriental Horticulture Mr. Hancock found the Oriental idea entirely different from that of Europe and America, Instead of rejoicing in an untrammeled and luxurient natural beauty of tree and shrub, the Oriental delighted in the artificial, the minute, the grotesque, Japan has reached per- fection in this bridling of nature, her minute trees, hundreds of years old, her exquisite gardens in REPRESENTATIVE--MISS MARGARET CLIMIE. kh 'Ddily: Times § News, advertising and sullscriptions will be. seenived at. the Bowmanville Office of The Times.

But {in Germany Mr, Hancock found a people who loved beauty for beauty's sake, He fought in the Great War but found it easy to forgive a nation whose love and meticulous care has resuited iv a garment of loveliness over the land, England, the garden land, is, of course, the real flowery king dom, all classes revelling in the quiet, satisfying beauty of bill and dale and garden plot. Not only is every usual specie of flower cul- tivated, but in the great national gardens are gathered, grown apd studied, flowers from all the lands of the earth, Kew Gardens sent jis scores of experts into every wilder: ness to bring back unknown floral gems, In all these parks flowers were being tested out in order to enrich ug with their loveiines:, should they prove adaptable to our climate, Many flowers which add pleasure to our homes and gar- dens, bloomed for thousacdg of years in the wilds of China, utter ly unknown to man probably until reclaimed by these treasure seek- ers, iinally, in our own Cabpada, Mr, Hancock saw a growing love and opportunity for the cultivation of trees, shrubs and flowers.
