THUBSTON, - Editor OIK ONTARIO HICHWAYS This yt'ar, OntariuV proirn-ial highway-s ore "beUcr than ever." They are the best maintained roads in the Uunimion. After a series of long tours lead- ing from London to IVterboro, and from Torunto to Owen Sound, we have had ample opportunity to admire the Provincial hiifhways und to cuss at most others of the fifty seven var- ieties tiiat a motorist encounters. Our avcrajre township roads in Ontario are either uncared for trails, or hiifh-cTovvned ri(i"t' . that ;ire i:n- itafe for travel at anything but slow speed. The county roads art marvels of "how not to do it." They are fre- quently splendid roads, built at con- siderable co.'st and then allowed to wear out, without proper mainten- ance. They are frequently hard, macadam roads that in a few years wreck into a series of bolt-loosen- ing holes that proper patrolling and maintenance would prevent. The trouble is that township and county councils, "don't care" speak- ing generally. They are restricted as to the amount of money they dare spend on roads; the counties are subject to pressure from every side to take over more and more miles of road- way from the townships; and in eith er case their term of office is for only one year. In the case of the province, respon- sibility for maintenance in laid on in four-stretches, with every possibility of this becoming eight or twelve years. There is, then, no escape from responsibility for the Highways Department. If it builds expensive highways and allows them to l)reak down right away, the administration is directly responsible. The inevitable question, then, is, "Would it not be well to consider a more permanent type of highway ad- ministration for county roads at least than the annual â- .iys.'.'ni now in vogue?" There is no possible reflection up- on either the business or the admin- istrative ability of County Councill- ors in the above criticism, â€" but the county roads most certainly are a serious reflection upon our common Eense, as a people.

It appears that Lorne, with his older brother, Keith, aged U, found a fuse cap in the house, and having s«^en their father nl some stone blast- ing operations, the two lads were ex- perimenting with the explosive. Fail ing to get to go off on the first trial they decided to open it -up and remove the powder. This partly ar- rompli.'hed, the elder lad instructed I/ome to hold it in his hand, while he wolud apply a lighted match. The above unfortunate occurrence took place, the boy's hand being bad!^ ehnttered by the explosion. Each of the boys also receivea minor bums on the face. The boys were attended to by Drs.
