IN another column you will find a report of a meeting of the Dryden District Motor Club, in which it appears that these substantial citizens, in their leisure moments, give quite a lot of attention to the subject of Roads. After the meeting one of them {who is a farmer when he is not a Motor Clubman) went so far as to say that if he were to write some- thing for this paper, he would have a lot to say about Roads. A friend of his immediately objec- ted that everybody was fed up on the subject of roads, and wanted to think about something else for a while, And probably they were both right. Is the subject worn out: or can something of interest still be said on the matter of good roads? We can always talk about tariffs, and public health, and our neighbours, and prohibition, without getting weary ; so it may still be possible to dig up a few ideas on the road question without anybody being bored stiff. That is, if we could get next someone who really knew what he was talking about. So we ushered ourself into the presence of Dan Hutchison, road promoter and builder, and invited, him to unburden himself on the big subject. A man who is tackling a worth- while job, and who hds his heart in his work, can never fail to be interesting. And Dan Hutchison has a big grasp of the urgent need of highways to open up this rich country and bring its riches with- in usable reach. A road is more than a piling of dirt in a defined shape, with dit- ches to run the water off, They are necessary factors in making life. endurable to a civilized com- munity, and are indispensable to. the upbuilding 'of a nation. Roads are the channels through which world, and by which we com- municate with each other. The existence of them, or the lack of here in the open air, and quite a number of people actually long way to 29 5 number and constant use are the measure of what we can attain to as contributive agents in the pro- motion of what will one day be the greatest glory of the British peoples--the Dominion of Canada. ® kkk In every direction there are settlers of more or less lengthy veloped, and whose efforts are discounted for want of roads; there are scores of children unable to go to school -- or for whom schools have not yet been erected -- because there are no roads; acres, and whole sections and townships where uncounted homes should stand lie untouched, until highways shall have been opened through them. And the laying out and construction of! these thoroughfares is the first and biggest problem that lies ahead. But all that will take time, and money, and intelligence. The most immediate need is the broadening and surfacing of the main road. To make this possible bridges will have to be rebuilt and strength- ened, to allow passage of the big engines and SR of con- struction. And the traffic will grow as the room for it increases. Cross. country roads must be operded to secure the full benefit of roads already existing. New development must be undertaken to promote interchange between towns and distribution points; and populations will arise and in- crease in ratio as the opportunities their coming.

The neatly home-made articles were quickly.. snapped up and a substantial amount was realized for the Childrens' Christmas Tree Fund for which the affair was organized. The dance which followed was also well patronized and for providing such a profitable and en- joyable event. Armistice Day was celebrated in at least one home. Mrs J. D. Aaron gave a dinner party at which twenty-six guests were present. The significance of the aflair was emphasized by the poppies which the guests wore, and by the presence of some of our soldier boys. The dinner was served in the true old English style, which -was highly appreciated.

Mr McTavish of Oxdrift visited Diy-1 Danger at Level Crossings Dryden and District Motor Club, 2 branch of the Ontario Motor League, held a meeting Monday night at which a very representative number attended After the ordinary business routine, an interesting letter was read from the parent body, outlining a plan by which the whole strength of the Ont- ario Motor League could be concen- trated on matters of general import- ance. The serious increase in the number of accidents at level crossings, of which auto drivers were principali= the victims, was pointed to as a que: tion of some urgency. The suggestion was made that th Dryden Club appoint a committee to investigate danger points at level crossings in this district, and copies of is report be sent o the railway com+ mission, the provincial government? and the Ontario motor league, and therehy the whole strength of the League | invoked in an effort to lessen dauze at level crossings. In accord with this suggestion, ou the motion of Miss Allan seconded hy A. G: Ripley, the following commtuse were appointed to take the matte: a; W. H. Dingwall, A. G. Ripley, D. An- derson, A. Pitt, Dr Dingwall, and F. T. Brignall. J : The general condition of the rozs was discussed at somee length, and many useful ideas on general road development were brought out. Na action was taken, however, as it was shown that efforts were now being made o improve such of the worst spots as made travel a problem, and contributed greatly to the sorrows of the auto driver. An atmosphere of keen nterest and good fellowship pervaded the meeting, and the members departed with the satisfied sense of an Hour spent to good purpose Madoc, Ont., Nov. 15 1922 Alfred Pitt Esg-- Dear Sir--At the request of the Dep- uty Minister of Mines, I am writing in reference to yours of the 4 th inst.

Each member of the class is given a set of minerals and rock specimens and printed envelopes to keep them in, one for each speci- men to the number of about seventy. Thede sets the prospectors keep. The evening lectures on geology are inten-~ ded to prepare the prospector use geo- logical survey reports, but they are of general interest. : As my route for the winter is so far worked out, I would reach Dryden about the middle of Feburary. The town is expected to provide the place of meeting. For the day class (min- erals), a room with tables and chairs (or benches), a well-lighted room---not artificial light, but windows-- these are the requirements. For the eve- ning lectures, a seated room, with electric connection for my lantern. If the room has electric lights, the lant- ern can be connected with one of the sockets. Two separate switches are handy, one to turn 'on the lantern and the other for lighting the room when the lantern is not in use. I shall be glad to hear from you regarding these arrangements, and also as to the hour for the day class {minerals). Any good daylight hour may be selected to suit the convenience of the people interested. Yours sincerely WwW. L. GOODWIN Addressi-- To Nov. 20th-Bancroft, Ont. To Dec. 2nd--Sault Ste Marie, Ont.
