WediK'sday. A|)ril 28. 19.^7 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Published on Collingwood Street, (•"lesherton, Wednesday of each week. Circulation over 1000, Price in Canada $2.00 oer year, when paid in advance $l.gO; in U. S. A. J2. per year, when paid in advance $2.00. W. H. THURSTON. Editor. P. I THURSTON, Associate Editor KDITORIAL NOTKS Flesherton village council some years ago provided a dumping ground fur iffuse, lh(> size of which is suf- ficient for a place of this size. The dump i.s out of sight of travellers on the highway and was an ideal site for such a purpose. However, some people are too lazy or have not suf- ficient interest in the appearance of that approach to town and dump their refuse on the roadside or at the .siide of the lane leading up the hill and an unsightly situation is the result. We hope some of our citizens who per- sist in such actions will have a change of heart and keep the approaches to our villages as clean as possible. * • • How would our village appear to motorists if there wag not a shade tree on our streets ? It would cer- tainly have a barren appearance, and would not be a fit place for man- kind to reside. There are many streets in town which are bare of shade trees and other areas where more could be planted to enhance the beauty of our village in the years to come. A start could be made on the highways entering the village and then the back street.s could receive their quota of trees iri future years. Our village council would be well ad- vised to takf this matter up at once and cummencf a <-ampaign for n more beautiful town. The expense need not be very groat as we are certain therf are many citizens who would collectively devote their time and en- ergy to leave a heritage of which fu- ture general ion.s would reap the ad- vantage. Let Us observe the Coron- ation of George VI by planting rows of tre<'s 0|i our main streets. :: Other Papers' â-  ;: - Opinions â-  ; WHY NO MAI'LE LEAVES? (The Haileyburian) TIhe sight of the new Canadian postage stamps the first of which reached Haileybury at the week end, is lather disappointing in om resipect, the maple leaf lias been omitted from tlu- design. Why this should be is a c.uestioM to which there does not ap- |)ear to be any definite answer. In other re.sijocls the stamps are of a very pleasing design, the picture of King George V'l is a y-ood one, al- though he is shown in civilian clothes instead of uniform, and there is no change in the color of the three-cent denomination, the most commonly us- ed one. There can be no complaints other than the one we have just men- tioned. For as long as the average Canadian citizen can remember, the maple leaf has been one of the coun- try's emblems and has appeared con- tinuously On the postage stamps. It is not, perhaps, a very important mat- ter, but there is considerable senti- ment wrapped up in this emblem and its omission from the new design is rather disappointing. Nothing can l)e done about it, we suppose, but we hope that when it is necessary to again change the postage stamps the maple leaf will be restored to its former place. KIMBERLEY Mr. Henry Ellis, Powassan. died on Sunday, April 25, 1937, at his resi- dence there. Mr. Ellis was a broth- er of Mes.srs.

How Money Circulates The story is printed of how a wo- man has been "haunted"' by a penny, which has followi-d her several thou- sand miles on her travels. A Dus- seldorf newspaper sa.vs she first no- ticed the coin in her purse in lii25, because of the peculiar marking on it. She spent it in a shop and was sur- prised to be given it as part of her change in another shop a few days later. .She spent it again, but it wa.= retuined to her in a similar way. In fact, this sort of thing happened sev. eral times. Then she came to Canada, lakiny the penny with her. She spent it here, but it was returned to her again three years later â€" this time ir Kngland. Now she has decided to keer the coin as a souvenir. Thi.s little story simply illustrates how much merchandise even a small coin will l)uy. if it is kept in circulation. A year or so ago a Dollar Bill was mark- ed and circulated in .Aylmer and in seven days it bad passed thr-ough at least twenty known hands, thus pur- chasing at least $20 worth of merch- andise. The moral is: it pays to spend your money in your own home town. TOOK PATIENCE TO LAND BtDE TO CITY Patience is one virtue the hitch- hiker must possess if he is to get along in the world. A Toronto lad, returning from sp«'nding Raster hol- idays with relatives at Holland Cen- tre, found himself at the Dundalk liigh\\-ay corner at four o'clock on Monday. Rev. A. H. Ferry of Cor- bett.on gave him a lift to that place. He spent the re.st of the evening till ll..'{0, with his thuml) cocked back- wards, at the Corbetton comer. He was put up for the night at Lydall Campbell's at Corbetton, and was on the job at 8 o'clock the next morning with his thumb all set again. Not until U o'clock, when Rev. Ferry went to Toronto, did the lad get another lift.

Safety In Speed After May 24th motor cars on On- tario highways may be driven at a speed of 50 miles an hour and the driver will not be breaking the law. The ivcent amendment to the act in- creased the limit from 35 to 60. Reviewing the situation tiiat has existed under the old limit of 35 miles per hour it n^st be admitted that the act was a "sham;" that it was not enforceable. The majority (if (hivers paid little or no attention to the law and exceeded the limit which, in view of the invprovivnient in cars, was low. The Iwwl feature of the whole thing was that it made practically every driver a law break- er. .\ logical and properly observed peed limit should cut down reckless driving. Fifty miles an hour is fast <iTough for anyone to drive any place :md there should be little excuse for exceedint; it. At the same time, traffic officers have definite figures 1(1 adliei'e to and can rightfully argUe that the person who claims that fifty miles isn't fast enough, and exceeds it, should be placed jn the rwkless class. Speed can be safe at fifty and if I be new law is enforced to the letter there is every reason to believe that the changed law will make Ontario highways safer for all concerned. STYLK IN SALES FACTOR "Men may pay for thetn, but I'm pretty sure the wives, daughters and sweethearts are buying the motor carg of 1937," said a Pontiac executive re- cently. He pointed out that the motor car today is a style article, as is bound to be the case with any article which makes a broad general appeal to the fair sex. "The car of today," he con- tinued, "is virtually a household ar- ticle, because it is used equally by every adult memibttr of the family. And everyone knows that the women members of a family must be satis- fied before any household article is purchased.
