This railway, known as ,g acq ed ine the Cobourg, Peterborough and Marmora Railway, had trou-' bles frorn the start. The first Cor.

The bridge of tbree ,miles across Rice Lake was a great diificulty, but the road was finally finished and opened 'in December, 1854. However, the first winter, the shoving of the ice, against the piles in Rice Lake proved so great that the bridge was destroyed. This bridge was built and carried away twice more before the railway was finally sold tala cornpany for $ 100,000. It had cost nearly a million. In 1869, by an act of Ontario Legislature, the Cobourg and Peterborough Raiiway Com- pany and the Marmora Iran Company were amalgarnated and after a couple of years, a vein of good ore was struck at the mine. With this and the lumber traific frorn milîs (in the north shore of Rice Lake, the railway was busy and its troubles seerned ta be over. The Rice Lake Bridge was again being reconstructed, this time in "a very substantiai manner" and was expected ta be opened for traffic again in 1874. Query - wben did this rail line give up for good? When was the bridge across Rice Lake last used? RE CRACKLEÊ-PROOF WRAPPERS AND LITTER We read recently that a Brit- ish firm had invented a cho- colate bar wnapper that didn't craekle. Because of this a ban on chocalate bars at Pbilhar- monie concerts in Liverpool lias been lifted. Faiiing the ap- parently impossible eventuality that people attending movies. plays and concerts will eat at home or at the restaurant in- stead af at these functions, we wish that the cnackle-proof wrapper would be îmported into Canada and Put on al packages soid in theatres on auditoriums. We also think that botties of soft drinks sbouid not be ai- lowed ta be taken into our Town Hall auditorium. It is in- furiating ta the players on theý stage and the entine' audience wben the empty botties invar- iably go rolling and clanking down the floon. We note that papen cups were used at the Rotary Play, wbich is a much hetter idea. But the consequent litter on the fleor was disgust- ing. If people must eat and drink in public places, then we shouid have litten baskets at the end of every aisle. We real- ly tbink it is time that Cana- dians leanned ta be dlean and tidy in theatres, on the streets and on the higbways, and we tbink there'are a great many who agree with us.
