Leopold Mac- auiay. Minister o! Highways for tne Province o! Optario. The ceremony vas schedule,,e o start Sharp at 4 o'clock but a delay was caused ow- ing to a misunderstanding. It was originally planned that the Minister should meet at the Town Hallin 3owmanville and proceed with the procession o! Business Men to the scene o! the opening a short distance north of Enniskillen wbere the two seven-mile stretches o! pavement built by different companies met. Owing to the lateness the min- ister proceeded straight to Hamp- ton only to !mnd that the Business Mfen were patiently waitmng for bsm in Bowmauville. A !urther delay was niecessitated wbile the Bowman- ville people drove out to Hampton. Tbe procession then moved on to Enniskillen and by that time, 5 'clock, it was semi-dark and a bit- ter cold wind was blowing, bearing with it tis winter's !irst f all o! snow swept across the bh wbere the ceremony was t0 be per!ormed.

Invlting the ladies present, of whom there were many, t0 come forward and get a piece o! ribbon, the Minister o! Higbways then f orm- ally cut the ribbon and declared the new highway open. The Canadian Legion Band, under the direction o! Bandmaster Robt. Lowens, played two numbers. whicb proved plenty in the Storm that was raging. About a hundred cars followed the Higbway Minister to the end o! the pavement at Blackstock and back again te Hlampton, where the next item o! celebration was scbeduled to take place. Splendid Banquet The United Church at Hampton was the setting for the banquet that !ollowed the officiai openlng o! the road. At the bead table were seat- ed Hon. Leopold Macaulay, Mr. Geo.

Immediately aiter the banquet the toast to he King was duly honored and a lengthy program o! speeches was commenced. Warden Hooton In explaining the cause o! the gathering the Warden stated that it was to celebrate the opening o! the new higbway. Last year Northum- berland got its share o! pavement and this year Durham County re- ceived its share. Despite the depres- sion the Counties Council had seen fit to go ahead witb uts pavlng pro- gram and in doing s0 got the work done at a very 10w price, and in ad- dition helped a great many unem- ployed. Reeves W. H. Carruthers and Gor- don Parker, member o! the Counties Road Commission, explained tbe de- tala in conuection with the letting o! contracts; and the type o! road laid, wbile Geo. Greer, County Road Superintendent, thanked the resi- dents along the new road for their co-operation during the laying o! what be called the best piece o! road in the United Counties. Hon. L.

Tis was the minis- 1 ter's blrthday, he acquainted bis 1 hearers in bis opening remarks, and there was no place he wopld rather be than i these counties on that day. No parb o! the Dominion had a better background than these 'Un- ited Counties, the pioncera o! Upper Canada and the pace setters for the Province o! Ontario. He was pleased in addition to meet an old college chum, Rev. J. R. Blck, pas- tor of the Hampton circuit. Mr. <Contlnued on Page 2) Wm.
