that many favorable comments were made on the park grounds and these comments were invariably followed up with further suggestions on what could be done to further improve this splendid ground it would seem that the work already done here has but opened the eyes of many to the possibilities contained in this splen did municipal grounds its situation and surround ings open up many possibilities these can be and will undoubtedly at future dates be realized there ii nothing impossible if it is thl desire of the majority of the will of the ploplc and judging from this continuous expression it

in a run this week over the highway from yjuclph to brampton which has practically just been finished as far as a paved road all the way is concerned it was noticeable that while the highway authorities have been pretty generous with checker boards jin unfortunate oversight seems to have occurred approximately two miles west of acton here wicre the old single file road crosses ihc rail road tracks there is a sudden switch to the right for the motorist travelling east and a checkerboard deems very much in order this is indeed a dan gerous curve for the motorist not familiar with this road the old road ocr the railway track might easily be taken as the highway is not particularly well marked a checkerboard sign similar to the ones at the seventh line corner would be quite a help to the motorist who is a stranger in the vicinity when travelling over this road in good standing the awards of the judges of the band contest at tlie canadian national exhibition have like the awards of

the decision to remain out has been in fluenced by this bud feeling that so otten gets into the organizations that do compete it is always interesting to know however just where the local band stands
