THURSTON, Editor RECOMMENDS I'UOTECTION EDnX>RIAL WOTBS The recomendation of the Coroner's Jury in regard to the death of Betty FoUis of Owen Sound are to be pas- sed along to the Ontario Hydro Elec- tric Power Commission for action to protect the public from the hazards found at the brink of the Falls. It is thought that holes bored into the rock and iron posts set in and an- chored with cement and barbed wire «rected would have the effect of warn- ing tourists of the danger of too close proximity to the chasm. Of course there will always be the foolhardy person to contend with who will crawl under the wire and peer down, or the person who will see how close he can go to the edge without fall- ing off. "We are told of a couple who ate their lunch sitting on the edge of the rock at the falls with their feet dangling into space. Such actions should be curbed and would be if there was proper supervision of tourists who visit the Park or proper safeguards erected. The Hy- dro recognized the hazard along the «ast side of the gorge and erected a wire fence, but this ends a few feet from the edge of the bank at the -old river bed, the claim being made that the spring freshets, carrying de- bris, would wash away any fence erected. We hope that the Hydro Commission will think twice before it takes action to close the park, â- which is a popular resort for thous- ands in the summer who wish to view the beauties of scenery found there. These places of tourist attraction should be valued highly, but at the same time the public should be pro- The splendid response of the Flesh- erton fire brigade to the call from Pricfville Sunday night and their efficiency was very pleasing to many. Their drills the past few weeks have brought splendid results and as time goes on their efficiency will become still greater. Those in the brigade are urged to drop anything they are busy at and respond when the call comes, as a delay of a few momenta ;will sometimes mean the difference in controlling a fire or having a real conflagration. • • • Thanksgiving Day is next Monday, October 10th. At this time we have plenty to be thankful for. The crops have' been abundant and best of all the threat of immediate war has been taken away. The great loss of life, resultant to a war, has been spared, along with the millions of property damage and the cost of operations. Isn't that a great deal to be thankful for ? There are few who will doubt it. • • • The present week is one of inde- Bcribal)le beauty. The leaves on the trees have turned from green to a hue of all colors of the rainbow and to view the scene is to thank God that we live in a country where such beauty is Eugenia visited with Mr. and Mrs. Elwyn Ferris.

Ashton when Lulu Isabell, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Russell of Rock Mills, was united in marriage to Mr. Kendall Teeter, only son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Teeter of Flesherton. The bride looked lovely, attired in navy sheer crepe with matching ac- cessories. Miss Bessie Russell was to be found.

Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Patton of The bride's mother received in a gown of black triple sheer trimmed with white. The groom's mother also re- ceived wearing brown French crepe trimmed with gold. After receiving congratulations the bride led the way to the dining room which was beautifully decorated with pink and white streamers and large white wedding bells. The table was decorated with pink streamers and tall pink tapers and centred with the three-storey wedding cake. The happy young couple left on a trip to North Bay and other points. The bride travelled in a navy coat, navy hat with veil and navy shoes. On their return they will reside on the groom's farm near Flesherton. tameos Of Travel (Continued from Page 1) he got down to "tacks" and told us that the road to Kenora was good, that we need have no fear, but that ine first thirty miles or so might be a bit rough on account of road improvement, but to take the river road and the going would not be so bad. With our minds set at ease we dismissed Harry (with a consid- eration) and hunted up a good dinner. After dinner we pushed on "along the river road" and while the road- bed was not anything to brag about, I think it will be too bad when the right road is completed, because a lot of pretty scenery along the Rainy River will be missed by the tourist. Pastoral scenes, they are mostly, be- cause the country is fairly level, at least as far as we went. It's a case where the detour is more interesting than the main highway. Old Harry knew what he was talking about. 'We had to get a third of the distance on our way before we broke into the scenic portion of that stretch. And if those roads around North Bay and Sudbury, which are advertised as pav- ed, could be as good as the gravel we encountered on this Fort Frances- Flesherton 5c to $1.00 Store Now is the time to »tart knitting Chri»tma« Presents We have a full line of OLD ENGLISH and COUNTESS KNITTING WOOLS For Fall Wear ChUdren's Fleece Bloomer., Cirf»' V* length Hose FlaneUette Pyjamas Mens' Random Fleece Combinations, Wool Work Sox, Flannel ShirU, Doeskin Shirts, Fall Qovea POLLYANNA FULL FASHIONED HOSIERY A complete line of new Fall shades in Chiffon and Service weights.

The hills are well graded and scrap- ers are running continuously to take care of wash-boards. Our fears of trouble vanished and we had nothing to do but revel in the pictures pre- sented at every turn of the road or over each hill. I felt sorry for Ar- thur. Now and then I would exclaim "Boy, look at that," and the come- back would be '' can't, Dad, I got to watch the road" (which goes to show the kind of careful driver I had.) He admitted, though, that out of the corner of his eye he got quite a bit. It is a continual dodging of lakes and streams, all of which are so tempting to a fisherman. At one point an arm of Lake of the Woods is crossed on a fair sized iron bridge (no toll). There is not a mile of the way but has some scenic beauty and no two alike. Because of easy access now boys' camps are scattered along the way so that what was once a wild wilderness is now a huge pic- nic ground for all and sundry to en- joy. We also passed through some fine stands of trees which show that the lumbermen have not all the good stuff cut. Your Muskoka trips will I give you an idea of such a stretch , of road as this, but every place has I its own distinctive beauty and some- ] how this Lake of the 'Woods district appears to me as being something just a little better than other places I have been. So it was with the best of luck throughout the 1524 miles we enierg- ed on to the Trans-Canada Highway at Long Lake and on ten miles to Kenora. Let me cite an instance where mental telepathy plus a tele- gram worked well together. The doc- tor and his party had come from camp into town that afternoon for supplies. Calling at the telegraph office to see if any S.O.S. messages had come from us, they found a wire there that we has sent from Fort Frances at noon telling them we were on the way. With a little calculating re the elapse of time they figured we should be somewhere near there, so the doctor took up a position on the bridge at the edge of the town, which we had to cross while the others drove back into town to round up the police force and ask that a careful watch be kept for a car with a Quebec license. The police said they would. Almost at the same time they arrived back at the bridge we came in from the op- posite direction. Better connections than that are not made. After greet- ings were completed we drove in three miles over the world's worst road where we laid up the Hudfon until our return trip. One afternoon we loaded ourselves into Doc's Oldsmobile and set out for Winnipeg. With good roads and a car capable of (and did at times) making fifty-sixty-seventy miles per earth was black â€" a type greatly de- sired by gardeners in Montreal West. The idea I had formed of Winnipeg, of course, was all wrong but the actual thing was away better than my conception of it. I found a nice clean city with wide and well kept streets, neat and comfortable resi- dences mostly with gardens and lawns around them â€" in fact a real good place m which to live. Remarking on the clean appearance of the build- ings, I was told that in all western cities the building material used there does not need the attention of that used in eastern cities, so the job of sand-blasting is a poor trade west of Ontario, or it may be the atmospheric conditions that keep them looking new. Anyway the city always has the appearance of having its face washed and wearing its Sunday clothes. We hunted up a tourist home and put up for the night. Next morning was spent in "shopping" â€" a pastime I dislike â€" so did not see as many of the points of interest as I would have liked. After dinner we ambled back to Kenora. thirty-five dress of navy blue crepe, with satin trimmings and other matching acces- sories. The groom's gift to the bride was a cabinet of silver. A bountiful wedding repast was served at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. 'Will Jamieson, of Portlaw. Guests at the weddmg supper were Mrs. Isabelle Hill, grand- mother of the young couple; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hill, parents of the groom; Miss Ida Hill, Toronto; Mr. Wilfred Batchelor of Maxwell; Misses Velma Pearson and Florence Hill and Mr. Chester Moore of Dundalk; Messrs. Oscar Hill and Robert Sheardown and Misses Velda Hill and Mary Shear- down of Portlaw. The couple were presented with a large number of use- ful wedding gifts including one from the groom's grandparents, Mr.' and Mrs. Chas. McCutcheon of Dundalk. They will reside on the groom's farm at Hatherton. HILL - JAMIESON A very pretty wedding was solem- nized by Rev. Mr. Cutler, at Fever- sham, when Grace Isobel Jamieson, adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Jamieson of Portlaw became the bride of iJames Austin Hill, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hill of Hatherton. The bride was attended by the groom's sister, Miss Ida Hill, of To- ronto, while the groomsman was Mr. Wilfred Batchelor of Maxwell. The bride was becomingly attired in a bridal dress of glory blue celanese crepe with hat and other accessories to match. She carried a bouquet of orchids, lily-of -the- valley and roses and wore a bridal wreath of lily-of- the- valley and roses. The bridesma:id was attired in a AGNES MACPHAIL SCHOLARSHIP In the report of the Agnes Mac- phail Sohclarship in last week's issue, the impression was conveyed that the award was to be f25.00 the first year and $50.00 for each succeeding year. This was not tha intention of Miss Macphail at all as she has increased the award to $50.00 and the change is to be effective for the first year as well as for succeeding years.
