We have one of the grandest little towns in Canada, but you never could guess it by coming in the Queen Eliza- beth Way and down Dundas St. It's ghastly. L'm sorry that I can't quite share your opinion that . . . the premises located there all do their best to make their exter- iors and grounds as attractive as possible . . . " But the whole responsibility doesn't rest on the few above- mentioned, this calls for a com- plete town effort. Mightn't the various commercial institutions along this way be organized for a monster clean-up, paint-up and landscaping bee this Spring? Mightn't shrubs and evergreens be secured from the provincial government without cost? How about the Chamber of Commerce or some of the hard-working ser- vice clubs getting behind this thing, Yours for a Queen Elizabeth-- Dundas Street entrance ot Oak- ville that does justice to the town!

Dave thought Lorne was operating a general store at Drumquin, and so ad- dressed his greeting, which ho posted Dec. 18. But the Laing emporium is located at nearby Omagh--and the Drumquin postmaster, who knew this, slipped up by hastily readdres- sing the envelope to Omaha. So the card quite naturally ended up in Nebraska, from whence it was just returned to the sender this week.
