PLACE BUOYS ALONG ROUTE OF GHANNE Approaches to River Trent to be Well Marked Out By Government In answer to many urgent demands from the Master Mariners Association and repeated demand* from interested parties in Trenton the Government Steamer "Gren-ville" steamed into the Trenton harbour and docked at the Government wharf on Wednesday afternoon. The purpose of her visit tc Trenton is to sound the channel and place buoys where needed. Last June several vessels with cargoes for Trenton went aground in the Bay and in the River Trent. This was chiefly because there were no turning buoys to show the way after the boats had turned by the old Concentrator plant to come up the river. Boat captains reported the matter to the Master Mariners Association and the complaint was relayed through to the Government to have something done about putting suitable buoys out at the entrance into the Trenton harbour. Captain Barrie. is skipper of the Grenville which hails from Prescott and has been working at Coda Landing, Quebec, and Port Weller. There are twenty men in the crew. DEEP! PASSAGE FOR LARGE LAKE VESSELS River Deepened At Weddell and Power Docks,--Harbour Mouth To Be Improved Also Dredging operations in the Trenton Harbour and the Bay of Quinte have been progressing rapidly during the past week. The Government dredge steamed into the river last Thursday morning and since that day has been busy in deepening parts of the river which were in need of it. This work had to be done at two points in particular--Weddell's Dock and Powers' Dock. Operations at the Weddell wharf were finished on Tuesday morning and the bridge was swung during the afternoon many times to allow the boat to go and deposit the loads, recovered from the bottom of the river in front of the Powers dock, further out into the Bay of Quinte. This work will be carried on for the next few days and will fill a long felt need as many of the larger boats seeking to enter the Trenton harbour have been grounded on shoals several times during the past year. Another point at the entrance to the river will also have to be dredged.

THE TEACHER MUSES Year after year they come to me, These children, with questioning Year after year they leave me, As they leave, their outgrown books; And I wonder sometimes if I've taught them Just some of the worth while things. Just some of the things they'll need in life, Be they peasants, or poets, or , Kings. Of course, they've learned civics and history And how to divide and add, But have they learned that these are not all That makes life sad and glad? Have I taught them the value of smiling When things are at their worst? Have I taught them there's nothing that helps like a song When the heart seems ready to burst? Have I taught them the joy of clean living? That honor is better than fame? That good friends are the greatest of treasures? Wealth, less than an untarnished name? Have I taught them respect to the aged? Protection to those who are weak? That Silence always is golden When Gossip bids them speak? Have I taught them that Fear is a coward Who is beaten when they say, "I can't!" That Courtesy ranks with Courage In the heart of a real gentleman? Have I taught them these things and the others; That will help make them brave, kind and true? If I have, then I care not if they tell me That Irkutsk is a town in Peru^^i --Author Unknown.

Pulling out to evade a stray horse on the highway a loaded Beckwith transport of Picton, driven by Morris Beskwith, turned over twice in the south ditch on Highway No. 2 about one mile west of Deseronto, at 4.30 a.m. Wednesday. Beckwith. was knocked unconscious at the time and was later rushed to the Belleville General Hospital in a passing Bur-ford transport. Beckwith, after receiving medical attention was able to leave that institution later Wednesday morning, however. Loaded with six tons of canned goods, v/hich were strewn on the highway for many feet following the crash. Beckwith upon regaining consciousness, stated that the rain was coming down in torrents at the time and he suddenly came upon a stray horse wandering on the highway. He pulled the heavy truck suddenly to the right to evade hitting the horse and before he realized what had happened the transport had turned over in the ditch. The Provincial police investigated the case and after arriving at the scene of the accident ordered the removal of the damaged truck and its contents to a nearby garage in Deseronto. The canned goods were being delivered eastward. Depression has done nothing for us if it has not brought us closer to the simpler things of life. We had been having our own way too long; we had been living too high. "The Jones," with whom we have tried to keep step, may not have outdistanced us very much for if the truth were known the Jones have found the sledding just as hard as we have found it. More than anything else we have learned the value of money; that the idle rich deserve to be unhappy and that living to tne idle poor has been little short of tragedy. Out of aD of this has come a toning process, a process which has destroyed a lot ©f our hauteur and arrogance and in a humbler spirit we are more kind and considerate to ether people. Depression has had its bad features, but like every ill wind it has blown good to some one. Sometimes one is moved to wonder at the grotesque irony of tragedies that occur and are reported in the press, remarks the Elmira Signet. We noted the following story and thought there are perhaps just such conditions existing about us, probably not so marked and reported not quite so dramatically, yet prevalent nevertheless. It went: "One of life's most ironic tragedies the other night in New York received but scant news attention. A man, worn out with the struggle against poverty, spent his last nickle in the Automat restaurant for a roll. He sprinkled a deadly poison on the roll, ate part of it, then staggered to the washroom and dropped dead. A miserly woman at the same table seized the portion of the roH the suicide left and ate it. She too collapsed and died on the way to the hospital. An investigation showed she was comparatively rich with nearly $60,-000 in various banks. The man died in a battle against poverty, the woman in a greedy effort to save a nickle to add to her store." kxcessive heat in the past In 1303 and 1304 the Rhine, Loire and Seine ran dry. The heat in several French prov- lces during the summer of 1705 was equal to that of a glass furnace. Meat could be cooked by merely exposing it to the sun. Not a soul dare venture out between noon and 4 p.m. In 1718 many shops had to close. The theatres never opened their doors for three menths. Not a drop of water fell during six months. In 1773 the thermometer rose to 118 degrees. In 1778 the heat of Bologna was so intense that hundreds of people were stifled. There was not sufficient air for breath, and the people had to take refuge under the ground. In July, K793 the heat again became intolerable, vegetables were burned up, as were crops. The green fruit dried on tiees. The furniture and wood work cracked and split up. Meat went bad in an hour. Deseronto has cut the salary of its chief constable to $15 a week. Insurance on the constable's motorcycle will not be renewed so that he may have to chase offenders on foot.
