INNS AND TAVERNS Wc are at present enjoying Edwin C. Guiilet's book, "Pion- eer Inns and Taverns". The book is privately published, beauti- iuily printed, - and iliustrated with dozens and dozens of pho- tographs and sketches. The textj is equally interesting. This vol-i ume deals mainly with inns and taverns in and around To- ronto and is a wondecful con- tribution to pioneer history, to which Mr. Guillet has already made many valuable contribu- tions in earlier books. He proposes to do two more volumes, one on Quebec and inns in New York State in early days; the other on the Danforth and Kingston* Road and main routes of travel in old Ontario. Now this latter volume wiil be of particular interest to those of us who live on the old King- ston Road and Mr. Guillet is anxious to have any authentic information, together with sketches or pictures, of inns and tavecns aiong this road. Those of you who have read J. B. Fairbairn's book recail his account of Weller's stage coach- es and how the coach driver would sound bis born at Stan- ley's Hill, then how the coach would draw up to the old post office, at that time on the cor- ner of King and Scugog Streets, we tbink. He tells furthec about William Glover being one o! the drivers. and prior to that having bcought the first mail on horseback. Mr, Fairbairn mentions Hin- des' bote], also Maynard's, one unnamed five miles west Wibere the murder of a Mr. Conant took place, and one between here and Newcastle. Another, of flot too good repute, stood wbere the F. C. Vaqstone resi- dence is now. overlooking the miii pond. The borses on the stage coach were cbanged at ai hotel immediately opposite the post office accocding to Mc. Fairbairn, the run being from Post's in Pickering, to Bow- manville. Would this botel be Hindes? It is not exactly clear in Mr. Fairbairn's book. Mc. Guillet would be pleased to bave for possible use in his book on inns and taverns on the Kingston Road, informationl available about those situatcdj in and near Bowmanville, Cour- tice. Newcastle, or others on the Kingston Road, also pictuces or sketches o! these buildings., If you have any such information, would you pass it aiong to us, and we will forward it to Mr. Guillet.

Plans Session,- for Gardeners The greater portion of- the regular meeting of the Bow- manville Recreation Department last Thursday night was devot- ed to dcawing up the 1955 bud- get of the organizatnon. The Department also decided to re- commend to Town Council that it set aside $250 to be used for cutting grass in the town parks. Jack Eilbeck, district repres- entative o! the Commnunity Programs Branch of the Depart- ment o! Education, was pcesent to assist in the work and e that the proper grants were ap- plied foc. He also congcatulatedi the Depactment members on Bowmanvihle's excellent pro- gram of community recreation, which he said was supecior to most towns of this size. He suggested that the Depart- ment consider holding a demoîî- stration night for the genecal public in the faîl at which time demonstrations of crafts such as jewellecy and pottecy mak- ing and textile block printing, wbich are not given hece, wouidj be held. He also asked the mem- bers to consider starting a "Spring Bonus Class" for local gardeners giving instruction in gacdening, fertilization and other garden bints. Recceation Director Ai Vail was instcucted ta investigate the possibillty of starting such a class. Enter Hockey Tournament Mc. Vail repocted that an in- vitation has been extended to Bowmanvilie to enter a Pe I Wee Ail Star team in the York Township Hockey Tournament to be held at Maple Leaf Gar- dens on February 26. It was de- cided to pay the $5.00 entry fee and enter this tournament. He repocted that the cecent "Young Canada Nigbt" at Port Hope in whicb local minor league players took part had been very successful. It is plan- ned to hold the local minor hoc- key night eariy in April and the tcopby nigbt shoctly after. The Depactment hopes to obtain Captain Ted Kennedy of the Toronto Maple Leafs to speak at the tcophy night. Mc. Vail stated that seven bigh school girls attended the second health and beauty clace o! the Depactment which was begun on February 1. The smocking ciass at Memocial Park is in operation and thece is room foc additional members, be said. Present at the meeting were Chairman Claude Kilmec, Ralph Mclntyre, Lionel Parker, Andy Thompson. Tom Rebder, Secre- tary Dora Purdon, Mc. Vail and Mr. Eilbeck. White Cane Week is Planned By Institute for the Blind "The slogan for White Cano Week, Feb. 6 - 12, 'Put the ac- cent on Abilitv not disability,' expresses in a phrase tbe prac- tice of our department ail year round" declared Miss Jean Whiteiaw, Consultant for Pre- scbool Blind cbildren of The Canadian National Institute for the Blind. She told how most of the work of tbe members of ber staff is concerned with the par- ents, encouraging tbem to de- vise metbods of conveying to the cbild by toucb and sound tbe colour, shape and purpose of tbe woidd around bu-n. .'Svmetimes the mother thinks ber sightless boy or girl is ex- tra good, because he does not get into miscbief or make aàay trouble," Miss Whitelaw ex- plained, "Wben the real reason is he does not see the cubboai'd full of gleaming pots and pans that attract the seeing cbild te~ scatter them about, or tbe ncw- ly baked appie pie that invites the bungryv four-year-old to steal a piece wben n'îothec's back is turned." Once the parents understand the handicap and succeed in awakening tbe mind of the chlid to bis surroundings, the young- ster advances at a surprising rate. One blind girl of three was asked to mind ber 18 months' old baby brother. She took care of bim splendidly even to calling mother wben the lit- tie lad climhed the Iaddec prop- ped& against an appie tree.

MW You>cF No ifs, ands or buts about it. When you give the gun to a 1955 Buick with Dynaflow Drive*, you move. In the instant you push down the pedal, you get the action you've called for-immediate getaway from a standing start, or immediate safety-surge out of a tight spot on the highway. It's flot magic, this thrilling and pulse-quickening response-though it feels like the closest thing to it. It's a principle of the modern airpiane, brought for the first time to an automotive transmission. Twenty "variable pitch propellers" inside the Dynaflow unit itself can change their angle-like the propeller of the airliner can change its pitch from take-off position to cruising position. And what this brings to you-at the wheel of a '55 Buick-is the nearest thing to flight on wheels. Far better gas mileage in your normal driving and cruising. Spectacular response when you want it for quick getaway or emnergency acceleration. But ail this, mind you, with the absolate smoothness that is constant in Dynalow Drive. Surely, a demonstration of Variable Pitch Dyna1Ioýw is a Ruick "must" this year. We'll be happy to do the honors-and show you, in the doing, what a whale of a buy you make here. Drop in this week, won't you? *Dyeglow Drive is shwndgd o« Roadmaster, optionai as extra cost on ether Series.
