Editor KEEP ri» THE COUNTY ROADS During the past few years the Grey County council has made enormous expenditures for the improvement of the county roads in this County and were asalttted in the undertvicing: by the Ontario* Department of High- ways. The result was very com- mendable a fine road being built from the boundry between Artemesia and Osprey to a few miles the other side of Priceville and to be continued to Durham. It has taken sevcraL years for this road to be- built with the limited amount of money at the dis- posal of the county and the result has been th.->t the road finished prat is now in b;id shape and needs repair- ing. The road from Flesherton to Priceville is very bad, full of holes and ruts which' make travelling very difficult. A traveller told us the other day that after travelling over a large number of main road.s in Ontario this year the worst spot was between Pk'sherton and Priceville. Now that we have our good roads why does the Road Committee of the County Council allow them to deter- iorate the way they arc doing and in a short time have to go ail over them again. We hate to see ovr good money po to wa.ste on roadii when proper care of these roads is not giv- en them. A program of uplceep of roads under the care of the County Council should be undertaken at the June meeting of the Council. ' EDITOiilAL NOIKo For the month of April the total number of accidents reported on Can- adian railways is 150, involving the death of 13 people. There were nine crossing accident.s in which three Ijcrsons were killed and eight injured. Autos were involved in five of the nine crossing accidents, resulting in two persons being killed and five in- jured. Six of the nine crossings were classified as unprotected. • • * The two weekly papers at .Kincar- dine, The Review and The Reporter, have amalgamated and will be edited by J. J. Hunter, proprietor of The Reporter. Truly the way of the small town weekly is hard these days. • * * The following interesting infor- mation is from a reliable source. During last year there were 5,616 Methodist young men married in Ontario. Of these 3,454 were marr- ied to Methodist young women, and 820 to Presbyterians. On the other hand, of 5,.374 Presbyterian young men, 2,065 were married to Presby- terian young women, and 941 to Methodists. • • • One week has gone by with 4.4 hi pperatton and we have failed to see any* extra drunks lying around.
