Law Society Holds Educational Talks Nearly 300 lawyers tram Cen- tral Ontario attended a special series of lectures Saturday on the legal problems of simail bus- iness men. The lectures were part of a unicjue legal educa- tion program, sponsored joint- ly by The Law Society of Up- per Canada and the Ontario Section af the Canadian Bar Association. For the last five years, the Law Society bas conducted an annual spring lecture series, designed ta keep lawyers up ta date on specialized aspects af law.

The business law lectures, given by legal and financiai ex- perts, followed a Law Society series on labor law and labor legisiation held the previaus week-end and attended by re- presentatives of labor and man- agement. Among those attending was W. Ross Strike, Q.C., af Bow- manville. First Roads In Durham County The founders of Durham County reached their future homes by water, and on the water they preferred to travel for many years afterwards. On land, the earliest com- munication was made with Rire Lake by means af the Indian carrying-road f r o m Smith's Creek. This a nei e nt path through the forest, marked by blazed trees, was in constant use by the Indians when the white men arrjved. Its course lay a little ta the eastward oi the present No. 28 highway. During the war of 1812-14 the British soldiers, travelling be- tween Kingston and York, used other Indian trails near the lakeshore. Recognizing the ne- cessity for a better means of communication between east and west, the government shortly afterwards had the York Road (No. 2 highway) built. The first regular mail stage began to run through Durham County about 1826. With this advent of the stage-coach, tra- vel received a new impetus, so that by 1831 five trips a week were made between Cobourg and York. For a while each spring the early roads were practically impassible but in fine weather the stages, drawn by four spirited horses, present- ed quite an împosing picture. With the completion of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1856, however, the stage-coach be- came a relic of the past. Then sing the praise of aid coaching days When guards and fare were jolly-O, And a pleasant sound in the winding ways Was that of the coachman's tally-O. O.J.H.
