Hon. R. B.

When some individual (a woman in fact) takes time from her house- hold duties on a cold wet afternoon, to carry spade and baskets of roots and bulbs from one end of the town to the other to help bcuutify the Park, her nanv.' is well worthy of honorable mention. If others took such an in- terest in our domain as this lady, what kind of a villapre would our vil- lage be? • • • Ft has been reported that the Geo- Graphic Boird named an island in the Pacific Ocean, at Scottie Bay, near Nanaimo, after the famous airman. Col. Lindbergh. The Canadian .Nat- ional Railways also is naminif a station in Alberta after the famous aviator. We wonder at the authoritie" at the head of these coninanics and institutions not having sufficient Canadian spirit to name Canadian communities after their own noted citizens, even in the same line of endeavor as Lindbergh. To perpet- uate names of Victoria Cross win- hers, the highest award for bravery in the British Kmp^-e, the Geojr- raphic Board could use their names in place of those of foreigners. It seems to us that what is needed is a national spirit to advance Canad- ian affpirs and i<lcal.4.

Dear Editor â€" Well we arrived here yesterday hav- ing made l.'iO miles from Savannah. While still in N'orthern Florida we •let some of the flood conditions that prevailed in north west Florida, south we-tein Georgia and Alabama; and which have changed our home routc- ing further east than we had intend- ed. We had no real road trouble so far (touch wood.) I am sitting on the bank of a levee that holds a deep fv.ift river 200 feet wide that goes through the city, in many places high- er than the' housetops and is U'-rd fnr power purposes in several places. This city is built of brick â€" streets and all. and some of them look very old indeed.

Here the mountains moot the rivers on both sides. It has not got 10 acres level and the railroad follows the river. I don't know what the highway follow.", but we follow it best we can. I am tired but happy. â€" H. J. NEILL Mrs. Findlay is the New President of W. I. Mrs. T. W.

Mrs. Phillips, the retiring Pres- ident, was I'ivon a he-rty vote of thanks for her good work during the past years. Mrs. Harrov.-er gavo a splendid paper on "Dutior? and respon- sibilities and privilogf .â- ! for each mem- ber of the bousohoki," after which a dainty lunch was served. The meet- ing was brought to a close with r.ing- ing of the National Anthem. Mr. S. J. Culp, who was the effic- ient Highway Traffic Officer on the Owen Sound-Guclph provincial high- way last season, patrolling betv/een Arthur and Owen Sound made hi.s first official visit to Flesherton on Friday last and gave The Advance a very pleasant call. Mr. Cuin stated thnt in.^truetin>ii» from headquarters office this year were very strict, and the constables patrolling the various highways are being asked to do all in their pow- er to pervent motor car accidents by rigidly enforcing the traffic laws. One of the matters which has been emphasized is with regard to head- lights. Not only must they be of the non glare variety, but they must not be more than 4 inches above the ground nor under 75 feet radius in front of the car, the same law which prevailed last year, but there will be prosecutions in all cases where one headlight is used unless the driver of the car can produce another bulb to replace the one out of commission. Drivers must produce these bulbs on demand. Mr. Culp stated that the law with regard to stop signs will also be strictly enforced, and remark- ed that this means that drivers are expected to bring their cars to a standstill, not merely a slowing down, before passing one of these signs, no matter where it is or the condition of the traffic. Mr. Culp also has instructions from the Highway Department to see that the law is enforced regard'- ing the carryin.nr of red lights at night by all horse drawn vehicles. Last year was the first this was in force .^nd some leniency was shown, brt this year these lights must be carried at night. He also stated that driver's per- mits must be produced on demand, by the driver, or otherwise a sum- mons will be issued.
