Noon " Dear Dad: Having but little to do this gorning, 1 thought I would write to you as you have nob heard from me for some time. : As we are doing thing hore ere is little news to tell. "1 go out riding for an hour or two every day, and occasionally we have a game of football, whieh is good exercise: and helps | to put in the time. = A few days ago we had a game here with aC. A, 8. C. team, but they mad vs rather badly. One of their chaps stepped on the ball, consequenty broke his arm. Rather bad luck, but it will help him to get out of the ..army all the sooner. ." - There is quite a difference in the climate here. We are stationed at the foothills of the Alps. During the day the sun is in full sway, and it is quite warm and comfortable. At nights it gets pretty cold, but as. long as the wood holds out - we shall be O.K. So far there has been no snow on the ground here. Of course, you don't have to go very far up the mountains to find snow. The white mantle grows thicker as you ascend the heights. The mountains, which here rise to a height of 6000, are a gorgeous sight in the sunlight. This is especially rue when one looks down on them from an air- ship. The eerie in this part is re primitive. Nearly all the work on the land is done by" oxen, and you know how slow they are. There are usually two men to each yoke of oxen-- one to drive and the other to plow. Tho fields are very small --generally containing not more than one acre in each. Around all the fields are fruit trées, and clinging to these trees are the grape vines. At present the: ts are busy trimming the trees and vines, getting them Fe ady for blossoming in the Spring, which is not far off in this country. 1 have only been telling you the conditions that prevail in this part of Italy in the middle of February. As you go far- ther south around Naples the weather i is much milder. When I was there in December, the oranges and lemons were just getting ripe. - I think the prevailing fruits in the foothills are apples and grapes. The country all around is cut up by siiuiatiire canals. One _ ean never, walk over two or three hi ndred yards without com- ; 'then The 'canals oni each side of all the roads. So far as I can judge these streams or canals are for two purposes. Firstly, for irrigation, and secondly, for water power. There are a lot of silk mills in this locality, and they derive their power from these streams. Our areodrome is situated on a farm. The house and barn are all one, built of stone plastered on the outside. The areo- drome itself is a field of forty-five of fifty acres. It is very seldom that you see so large a field here. I hear you have a good many sales, Dad, but I guess they will all be over before I get home. I will close this letter, hoping that you are in the best of health as I am at present. Love to all." Your ever loving son, JACK. (This i is my army name). Goods advertised in the Port Perry Star are seldom "ghelf-clingers." Mr. Merchant. it will pay you to tell the prosperous people of this district, through the Star, What you have to sell. They can and will buy. ¥ Report of S. S.

But the chief factor in the making of wealth is left. out when we talk like this. The third and most important. wealth producing factor is management. Labor does not seem inclined to recognize the true value: . of management, but capital is willing to pay high prices for it. Management is the determining factor between poverty and riches. Give some men $10 000 and ten workmen and they will produce more real wealth than other men ¢ould with ten times the "capital and labor at their disposal. One man will'go on with the routine duties of day as his father did before him. He is honest and industrious,but has no vision. © He plods and produces the required amount of wealth in the specified times. If disaster overtakes him he is lost. Another man finds new markets for his produet, man- ufactures from his waste material valuable by-products, dis- covers new means of getting better results from less effort }**and makes riches for-himself and for those who employ-him. The management is the big thing, It is the deciding factor. Capital and labor are ierely material with which to work. ' Some day Port Perry will be faced with the problems of the town having a radial railway. It may be soon, or it may be many years from now. But whenever the Hydro-Electrie commission decides to build the road, they have our consent. It may be that the Hydro-Electric may acquire the local branch of the G. T. R., and electrify that. Whatever course is taken, it will mean that we shall have rapid transportation between ourselves and the city. There'll be no use sitting down and moping about the matter, taking it for granted that people and business must continually be leaving us. Good management can do much. And good management means team play, Let the whole town work together for the interests of the town asa whole, Port Perry is one of the or tind? not the prettiest-- {Ttown in the Province, With Hydro power and rapid trans. $i portation, the town would be an ideal place in which to live. Steps are being taken now to secure power as 'soon as . possible. If the proposed scenic highway becomes a fact, it is to pass through Port Perry, and should bring "grist to our mill" particuiarly if we have first-class hotel accommodation. ___. The additional departments in our High School, & skating rink, good roads, public library, these are the assets upon - which our future good fortune will be based. Se : sHSsne 2: The "'housing scheme" should be of benefit to our town. . An owner of property is much more likely to take a vital in- terest in the public welfare than the tenant, and he is anchored. He ceases to be a rover, beautifies his home, and is concerned that his town shall go ahead. Property is selling well in Port Perry (when transfers be- come necessary) prices never being better. The town will go ahead if we use proper management and work together to "ensure our united success.' 7 White Bros. Buy Bakery Mr. Harry White's many friends in Port Perry are pleased to know that he is coming back to make Port Perry his home. He has bought the Sarvis Bakery and Confectionery business and expects to take over the business the 1st of April." Mr ~ White will have his brother Bert with him, and as the two are well experienced bakers the people of this community ean expect to get first-class products--bread, cakes, etc.
