THURSTON, AMOciate Editor EDITORIAL NOTES Spring- is here and thi' weather is becoming warmer. A number are commencing the making of syrup, but We have not yet seen a robiai. • • * Last week the Ontario Government passed a law fixing the legal speed limit of a car at fifty miles pier hour. We believe that this measure was long overdue as almost every driver using a motor vehicle on the high- ways broke the speed limit every time out. With the new speed limit each driver will have a different attitude while driving and realize that it is in his own interest to drive carefully with the rights of others in mind also. It is hoped that the new regulations will have the effect of reducing the numi>ers of accidents on our highways. • • • In the Kimberley budget this week our correspondent states that dogs are busy running deer near that vill- age and urges that the authorities do something to halt the interference with the usual habits of the deer. It was just a few years ago that one person in Euphrasia was fined for allowing dogs to run where deer were known to harbor, and the .same regu- lations are still in force. It is a shame that these animals are not allowed to roam tiieir usual haunts in peace during the closed seasons. • • * For the past year the amendments to the Assessment Act of the Prov- ince of Ontario has created preat dis- cussion and dissention in Protestant circles due to change in rctrulations in awarding to the Separate Schools greater revenues from taxes. So great was the opposition to the meas- ure that the lli'pburn Government last week repealed the measure. Surel.v if the concessions granted one year ago were just what was wanted a year ago, and why the sud- den change of government opinion? No doubt it wa.i to avert a bitter religious war brought on by the gov- ernment at the rorjuest of the Catholic Ratepayers Assfwiation. OneOnCP.AodAlta. A news item considered of suffic- ient importance by Canadian Press to send it on the wires across Canada tells of an Alberta youth of l(i years, who, landing in- Edmonton recently, saw a "big city" for the first time and had his first ride in a street car. The youth, it explains, was from the Cold I^ke district about 150 miles northeast of Edmonton. Now in case the Canadian Press thinks it happened on a story which establishes a record for being back- w-oodish or hillbillyish or whatever one could call it, and makes the announce- ment in such a way as to imply that the honors go to Alberta, The Rural Co-operator is going to stand right up on its hind legs and correct any erron- eous misconception which the reading public may have gained from the a- forementioned item. And The Co- operator is in a position to verify names, places, dates, and otherwise establish the authenticity of its story which puts the Alberta incident com- pletely in the shade. The Rural Co-operator can tell of a youth, not in a semi-frontier province such as Alberta, but right here in Ontario, the long-settled, long-civ- ilized (?) ultra-modernized "banner'' province of this great "farflung" dom- inion, who though not living 160 miles from a city, but only 40 miles, and who at the age, not of 16 but of 17 years, set eyes for the first time on a city of any size, and on a street-car, and a real lake, and an elevator, and glaring electric signs and peanut-ven- dors, and policemen, and newsboys, and painted women, and professors, and top hats, and "financiers," and other what-nots "too numerous to mention," as they say on thn sale bills when they get do-wn as far as the trinkets, and old tools, and unused furniture, and the like. "Guess that'll hold the Canadian Press for awhile." says The Rural Co- operator to itself, in fact, "laffin" up its sleeve â€" the one what's busted ot the top and frayed at the cuff. (Editor's Note â€" The place where the above mentioned Ontario youth lived was Swinton Park in South Grey, about 40 miles from Owen Sound, 60 miles fi-om Guelph, and 90 milea from Toronto. This youth had never seen a city until the day he journeyed to ^Toronto to begin his course at the Normal School. His name, mciden- tally is Herbert H. Hannam.) Radio Repair Service ROSS WriSO.N. DIUHAM, ONT. (iuaranteod. t-\|<ert work. CuNlomers leave word with Rill Putton W'iH be in town on Wednesdays. Took Sudden Drop On Tuesday afternoon at Kail VViil- ton.s sale the auctioneer with a crowd of men about him were up in the barn disposing of the hay an<l grain. Like a l)olt fioni the blue the auctioneer <lisappeared. The men close by eould hear him yell out, "How much am I bid?" but could not set' him. They stood al)ashe<l while another group of men in the horse stable below were surprised to see a gi'eat hunch of straw como down on a horse, which was standing in the hall-way, and a man slip off the horse's rump, yelling '"How much am I bid?" He looked like an over-ri|)e porcupine, his sweat- er covered with barley chaff. However he never (|uit talking but went up the stairs and sold the goods while the crowed smiled. Good pi'ices were re- alized.â€" Dundalk Herald. PRICEVILLE Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Dingwall on the arrival of a baby boy On March 22nd.

Not just the young, able-bodied men who would do the actual fighting, but the "arm-chair generals," the manufac- turers, business men, bankers, brok- ers, farmers â€" every class should be enlisted and made to do its share. The Government should take over all the resources of the countiy and ad- minister them and it should so arrange remuneration for service to the end that all would do their share and no nersoii be allowed to make a fortune out of the country's misfortune. â€" Port KIgin Times. Farmers Benefit Most from Telephone Hate Reductions Farmers, will benefit by over $100,000 yearly through reductions in rural tele- phone rates, effective April 1st. In this district rural telephone rates are reduced 25 cents per month â€" $3.00 yearly. Other reductions are- Hand (cradle) telephones â€" reduced from 30 cents to 15 cents per month over Desk type (effective with May bills). Inside move charges â€" reduced from $2.00 to $1.00 (effective April 1st). Short haul Long Distance Calls â€" 20-cent person-to-person calls reduced to 15 cents. The extra cost for reversing charges on calls to nearby points is cancelled (effec- tive April 1st). Deaf Sets â€" The special type of equipment available for the hard-of-kearing is reduced from $2.50 to $1.50 per month. These reductions, especially those affectmg farmers" telephones, will tend to increase the general use of telephone service, making it of greater value to every user. » r ^4 ' V. 7 I â- *- I'T Jr- -T i ^.
