FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 191-3. .Good Roads. Camdian Farm. ,There has been aigreat deal ot-dis- cussion the past few months’on road improvement, but we do not appear to be any nearer '9. solution of this big problem than we were a year ago or even, ten years. ago. _It seems.to,be too big a problem for our statesmen to . tackle in an energetic way. 'They go at it in piecemeal fashion, here a little and there a' little, and I talk- big of what they are going to do in the in- . terests of better roads. But no one : has yet evolved a practical and com- préhensive scheme for improving all roads and keeping 'them good after they are improved. This will come in time, no doubt, but in the meantime a lot of money is being spent ormads in a more or less hap-hazard fashion, and without permanent provision for maintenance and the ttorture Imp-keep of the road. A government, amount}; _ or a township may spend thousands of . dollars to build roads, but if no pro- vision is made to maintain the roads after they are built, that money will, to a large extent, be wasted. What is required is a comprehensive scheme covering all the roads, and so planned that somebody will be responsible for 'every road. This is worked outin the United States by the State assuming responsibility for certain main roads, the counties for roads leading to these, and the townships for the balance, .all working under One definite plan. This, I to- our mind, is‘the only workable FOOT 0F KENT ST., LINDSAY. Inspectors of G. T. R. Time Service. ; SEE OUR NEW some 'MILLINERY; IN ’ALL THE LATEST STYLES. WM.

All the roads cannot be built at once. But if some definite, comprehensive plan I were decided upon and a beginning made to carry it into execution, there would be 'more accomplished than by the present hit and miss scheme, with no one responsible for keeping the . roads in proper repair after they are built. Plant Trees. Now that spring is again with us, a word or two will not be out of place as a, reminder to: those who might otherwise forget or neglect toxplant a. few trees at the proper season. Trees are by far the most important factor in any scheme of scenic improvement. Without them no landscape can be beautiful. Unsightiy, unattractive places can be completely transformed by the judicious introduction of trees, bushes or hedges. The economic, value of trees as windbreaks and as furnish- ers of shade in the hot days of summer , is too well known to need comment. This is the time to get busy and plant some. It would be a good thing if harbor day were made a compulsory, universal holiday, and everyone were obliged to utilize the day in planting trees or attending to. those already planted. I Board of Trustees for Cemetery. In accordance with a motion passed at the last session of the council, a meeting of the lot owners of the Fenelou Falls cemetery will be called at an early - date for the purpose of electing a board of trustees to manage the affairs of the cemetery. This step has been taken l following recently received advice from the Government that the council has . power to transfer the cemetery manage- ment to a board of trustees, a matter which has long been in doubt owing to the circumstances under which the cemetery was acquired. It is expected that the board, when elected, will make arrangements 'to have the cemetery grounds properly attended to, probably employing a caretaker to remain on the premises during the summer, for 4 the purpose of preventing trespassing and keeping the lots in order- ‘97‘ Avenue road, Toronto.

' The Lindsay Post so ‘: There is a strong feeling among t o: temperance workers of Lindsay and Victoria County that the Canada Temperance Act (better known as the Scott Act) should be subâ€" mitted to the electors of the county, (including Lindsay) at the earliest pos- sible date. The question has been under consideration for some time, and in all probability a mass of temper- an’ce workers will be held at an early date to take some action in the matter. The deplorable conditionswhich have existed on the streets of Lindsay, es- pecially on Saturdays, have been a dis- grace to thevcommmnty. Drunken men have been allowed to stagger about the streets at their own sweet Willi, and. drunkenness seems to be very much on the increase. .The situation has aroused all friends of temperance 'to action, and important developments may be expect- ed in course or the next few Weeks. bao-o Address and Presentation. The Fonelon Falls orchestra, which has contributed very greatly to the enjoyment and success of the various entertainments during the winter, and has been an attractive feature of the Methodist church service, as well as assisting in other churches, met on Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. Harry Littleton, one of the popular members of the orchestra, and presented him with a beautiful silver comet. The? cornet was presented by Mr. Edward Chambers, on behalf. of the orchestra, and Miss M. Quibell read the following address: Dear Friend :â€" ' We have met this evening for the purpose of esp-tossing our gratitude,; and appreciation of your efforts and devotion in 'connection with our musrcalorganization, the Fcnelon Falls orchestra.

Mr. Littleton, though unable at the moment to adequately express his full appreciation of the kindness of the other members of the orchestra, made a brief reply. thanking them for their handsome gift. A dainty lunch was served, and a pleasant evening spent. v w.-.â€" Personal. ilIr. Harry Wilkinson spent Sunday wrth his parents in town. Messrs. Stanley Kelly, Thos.

Brandon, Verulam, when their second daughter, Katherine, was united in the bonds of holy matri- mony to Mr. Henry Elliott of Fairbairn. At six o'clock the bride, beautifully gowued m cream mull over taffetta trimmed with lace and silk, entered the parlor leaning on her father's arm. to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by Miss Clara Wood. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J no. Bedford. Her travelling suit was brown tweed with large white hat.
