The main street in the business section has been down three years and is as beautiful a piece of road as anyone caould wish to see; having a dark slate colored surface and as smooth as a board. Beyond the two bridges which span the locks and river, Mr. King is now at work on an- other stretch of three quarters of a mile which is all within the corporation and with scarcely a The greater part of this is 20 feet wide, but where it comes into ' Mr. King's method of building is as follows: Where the road is to be built just 20 feet wide akerb 8 inches thick and 18 inches in the ground is built on each side of the roadway and just the height the road is to be built. An excavation of 12 inches is then made in the roadway and the dirt removed builds up the sides outside of the kerb, 7 inches of coarse crushed stone is then put in and the roller is then started. After a good roll- ing the surface is covered with fine crushed stone and swept into the crevices and the surface is then watered and rolled again; 5 inches of finer stone is then put on and rolled and then a heavy coating of tarvia is put on hot and covered with fine stone and then rolled until it is firmly com- pacted and the whole 5 inches is a solid bed.

Think of Port Perry with 200 more population plunging into such a debt as that and in addition to that another long stretch has been built to the west this season and of the same construction as I have described. Now--how is it paid for and where does the 20 feet come in which we were assured we could secure for Port Perry free of cost? : Different reports have come to our ears, and one was that Fenelon Falls had saved up its yearly County fluence of the grant for a number of years past, and another was that it was throught the in- U.F.O. member with the U.F.0. Government that a large grant was secured; but all such reports were wide of the mark. The Reeves of both Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon were in- terviewed and they frankly told us their methods of procedure which starts in the municipal council and is accepted by the County Council and is designated by the County Council which was done in Port Perry during the year 1918 when Mr. Jeffrey was Reeve. The deputation was deeply impressed with the fact that Victoria County seems to be building a very much more substantial type of road than Ontario County. There is no surfacing with ordinary gravel and but little surfacing with any kind of material. work, whether it is water or tarvia bound.

COUNCILMAN | smem---- KINGS' GUESTS Chronicled elsewhere in this issue Ml vy a Veracious-Historian are the An- ll als of a Voyage of Discovery which the Town Fathers embarked upon last Wednesday which promises to be of greater importance to Port Perry than the discovery of America, as even if America had not been dis- covered it is likely that Figary would have discovered Port Perry. Of these potentialities--which rest on faith-- it is not the purpose of this article to dwell as I write not of faith but of her sister soup, as both are "The | substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." To begin at the comencement, we got to a bad start on account of not having designated a rendezvous and as a consequence about an hour and a half was lost in trying to fihd ourselves. Just as the Reeve and Councillor Hutcheson-who had chanced to meet-- | were debating whether they would go home and go to bed till breakfast , time or go alone in the latter's car. Mr Stonehouse hove in sight in his "motor. It seems James had been waiting up at Hutcheson's where he had eaten all the plums off one side of the tree--there weren't any on the other--and was continuing his search for his passehgers. Someone there- upon called auction sale in a loud tone and Jackson appeared on the run putting on his coat and button- ing his vest in transit. This com- pleted the load as very regretably { Mr. Goode was detained by 'his oc- _cupation of making "Goode" butter better. "Our destination was .a secret; at last no one seemed to know where 'we were going, but we were on our way and that was a relief. : When we arrived at Lindsay we discovered we were to be King's guests, not his Majesty's, it is true, | nor even Mr. Mackenzie King's, but | that of plain Frank King, Good Roads Contractor, who gave us i heless a Royal Welcome. Ve transferred to his sedan and or Bobcaygeon to view the a roll in bed. We were given our choice of cut glass cutlery, low cut vest on waiters with large hands and palms extended at the fashionable beanery or a first hand fight with the bacon at the cook house of the con- struction gang. The close-up with opportunity of direct action appealed to the legislators and we chose the latter. The cook house was located in what was once an hotel shed before the Lizzies had driven old Dobbin back to the pasture and had later been turned into a toy factory. The only evidence of its earlier tenancy of horses in-box stalls were about 2000 hobby horses in boxes and about as many more with less than the requisite number of legs and tails in dejected heaps. Evidently the Toy Factory was another bubble "busted" leaving the shareholders nothing to show for their money but a few crates of horses without heads in which respect they resembled their owners. The promotor had departed for parts unknown where hé had like- ly started an Noah's Ark factory so that he could get out only horses but all kinds of animals next time, especially sheep and goats. Hail! Hail! the Gang's All Here. The gang were all lined up waiting for the word to go over the top..They were. a fine bunch of fellows, each with a granite plate, mug and work- ing tools, and as Bill Adams says in his history of the Battle of Waterloo, "Picked men most op 'em" and every man an expert sword swallower so it looked as though the visitors would lose out though similarly armed. The table was loaded to capacity with everything that home made cooking could provide for a hungry man, The boss was an old hotelman who knew his business and the cook was likewise wise to his job. ; They All Knew George.. . Jackson was given the head table and they took off their hats to him--I think he had sold most them out--anyway he got the while we wepe side-benchers. Park Committee : s - of rapid fire was heard on the tin plates. The Council joined in the attack and might have won a place if they had quit talking--but who ever heard of a council that wouldn't sooner talk than eat--the gang eat in silence and won out tho Hutch. got honorable mention for cleaning up what was left of the raigin pie. The boss said it was the greatest Gorge he had seen since he crossed the Rockies on snowshoes in '98 on his way to the Klondike. Reeves is Reeves. We met the Village Reeve and found he had his troubles just the same as the rest of them. While we were looking at the splendid pave- ment with envious eyes from a shop window we heard the merchant break out in violent, defamatory, invective against the authorities. "Look at what we are getting,'A County Road' (derisively) 'only A County Road' (very derisively) after waiting thirty years in dust and mud only to get a 'County Road', etc." Just at this juncture two obstructionist council- lors hounded after the Reeve with a petition, coupled with the usual threat of losing his job on January st, to make the pavement 10 feet wider forthwith.I suppose it would only cost about $50,000 more and that is nothing as long as one can sell debentures. Posterity will take care of them. Why should we worry about posterity. What in heck is posterity ever done for us anyway. All's Well that Ends Well Eventually we come to the end of a perfect day in which the dinner with "The Gang" was the happiest episode at which the religious mem- ber learned that it is not wise to pause to say Grace if you want to get in on the pickles. Three Cheers for the King of Good Roads. MARKUS MYERS ee () Oeics CARELESS CAT Writes: "Three-year-old had been put to bed for his | Mr. B. Allan Port Perry Branch, BENEFACTRESS OF YOUTH Mrs. Ada Courtice, for years a prominent figure in educational mat- ters, dnd founder of the Home and School Club movement, died at her home in Toronto, last week. Her death will cause deep grief among her numerous friends and admirers. Mrs. Courtice was the widow of the late Dr. A. C. Courtice, one-time the Editor of the Christian Guardian, who predeceased her some fifteen years ago. In 1916 Mrs. Courtice, who had de- voted a generous part of her active life to the advancement of education, was elected as trustee to the Toronto School Board. During her term she worked for the welfare both of child- ren and teachers, emphasizing the need of training boys and girls for citizenship. In 1914 she organized the first Home and School Club, a movement which has grown to be such an important element in com- munity life. Mrs. Courtice also per- formed great service throughout the country as Provincial Organizer of the Ontario Federation of Home and School Clubs. In 1916 she founded the Balmy Beach College and remain- ed Director and Principal of that in- stitution up to the time of her death. Born in Bloomfield, Ontario, Mrs. Courtice spent her earlier days at Pickering, Later she attended the Ontario Ladies' College at Whitby, Pickering College and University of Toronto. The greater part of her life she spent in Toronto. In religion, Mrs. Courtice was a Methodist. She is survived by one son, A. Roy Courtice, a barrister, of Toronto, one daughter, Mrs. Colin Campbell, and a brother, Fred C. Brown, of Vancouver. --Globe. mma} (tran The burial of the late Mrs. Cour- tice took place at Pine Grove Ceme- tery, Prince Albert, on Monday after- noon. The body arrived about four o'clock by motor, accompanied by a number of Toronto friends who had been associated with Mrs. Courtice in her educational work. The burial service was conducted by the Rev. Wm. Higgs, resident Methodist Mininster, assisted by the Rev. Richard Bamforth, of Peterboro. Mr. Bamforth who had known the deceased for many years, spoke most highly of her work and fine influence in life. There were many floral tributes. It was a privilege to know Mrs. Courtice, who was always thought- ful for others, who gave her life for the betterment of the world, and who did her work effectively because her mind was well trained and broad visioned. Prof. Wm. Houston, of Toronto, who was among those who attended the funeral service here, said "She did not know how great she was," and that was the real beauty of her character. o ! re) ( meee: PORT PERRY HIGH SCHOOL 1923-1924 Staff of Teachers Thos.
