There was a good turnout at the Town all to hear the addresses by municipal officials and Hon. Geo. S. Henry, and they were not disappointed by the quality of the speeches given, which were of a most practical nature. On the platform with the Council Kaiser, M.P,, Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, Ontario Liberal Leader, Reeve Geo. A. McMillan, of Reach, Reeve Geo. Sweetman, of Scugog, and 'the Warden on the County, Mr. Adam Dobson, of Cannington. Owing to a misunderstanding as to daylight saving time, there was some delay, and proceedings were started before the arrival of Mr. Henry. Short speeches were made at this time by Reeve who presided, Dr. Kajser, Mr. Sinclair, and Mr. Henry, after which the opening ceremony was performed by Mr. Henry preciated music during this part of the celebration. ~ And so at 6.45 p.m. on Monday, September 30th, 1929, a new era for Port Perry was begun, an era of opportunity equal to that that was started when the Hydro was brought to Port Perry in 1922. At that time there were those who thought that the expense was toe great and that we should"never be able to meet the debt that had been assumed. Since that time Hydro has extended to many outside points, and all obligations have been met with ease. 'We could not do without Hydro; and it has been both convenience and a profit to our people. The same results can be secured for | Port Perry if we all apply ourselves intelligently to the task of THE BANQUET At the Sebert House an excellent banquet was prepared for the guests of the evening. The management of the Sebert House do this thing very well, and a banquet which they put on, is a most enjoyable affair. In addition to the guests, a number of business men of the town attended, and they were delighted with the speeches of the evening, the chief of which, was, of course that of Hon. Geo. S. Henry. « . Mr. H. G. Hutcheson was toastmaster, and carried out his duties most happily. First was the Toast to the King, a toast that has had heartfelt goodwill as the years pass, and the British people learn to love and honor their monarch for his fair-minded helpful ness in world affairs. Next was the toast to "Canada"--the brightest gem in the Imperial Diadem. Dr. Kaiser responded to this toast in an eloquent address, in which he stressed loyal al- legiance to the British Crown, and pictured the enviable place that Canada holds in the British Empire in securing for humanity, freedom, tolerance, and immunity from poverty and disease. Hon, Mr. Henry was then introduced, and responded to the toast to "The Good Roads of Ontario." The excellence of Mr. Henry's address was a compliment to his hearers. He gave of his best, and he gave it in a style that showed that he had confidence in the good sense of the people, if they could be induced to listen to facts about the highways of Ontario. There are three main duties Henry: | 1. To build and maintain roads in the Province. 2. To finance these road building undertakings. 3. To keep the highways safe for the travelling public. third, that of keeping the Highways safe, was by far the hardest task, difficult as the other two were. "In discussing the building of highways, the speaker gave some interesting data regarding road construction. Cement roads have not always been popular, nor have they always been well built. Indeed it has taken years of experience to enable road contractors to bring their work to the present state of efficiency. The piece fof road recently laid between Port Perry and Manchester is of the i type; and will in all probility last a life time.

As the material*for| the Port Perry to Manchester road was hauled 1214 miles it would cost $2.50 per ton by the time it reached its destination, in addi- tion to the cost of digging from the pit and washing free from impurities. t Were the road metal to be brought in by rail the cost of haul: age would be from 80c. to 90c. per ton mile. With these facts in locality must depend largely upon the material at hand with which type of traffic to be accommodated.

Mr. d of a small car that was travelling at about 70 miles an thout any particular control. These people have a spurt ahead and then have to stop for some repair or other delay.. A steady proper speed with absolute control was much more effective and less costly than these efforts to see what the "bus" will do. Headlights and the lack of them came in for consideration. People who drive with one headilght are a menace to traffic, and drastic measures will have to be adopted to stop this neglect that imperils the lives of the people. Spare lights are just as necessary for the proper equipment of cars as are spare tires. Drivers with only one headlight will nearly always say that they did not know that the other light was out, when there are evidences that it is merely a matter of neglect. This carelessness cannot be allowed, and steps will have to be taken to remedy this evil. Glaring head- lights are also a great nuisance and danger. Some legislation will likely have to be enacted covering this matter. Mr. Henry recom- mended the use of the ditch light, and suggested that a fairly good light (say 21 c.p.) on the left side of the car and a dimmer light on the right side to locate the other side of the auto would make a complete lighting equipment. RE During the course of his remarks Mr. Henry pointed out that auto licenses had been reduced some five dollars, and that a further reduction was contemplated in the near future. This re- duction was made possible not by a reduction of road building and maintenance, but by an increase in the gasoline tax, which put the burden of taxation for roads upon those who used the roads most, Northern Ontario roads do not come under the jurisdiction of Mr. Henry's department, except in the matter of bridgé building. This work is taken care of by the Northern Development Depart- ment. Ba This address will long be remembered as an outstanding de- liverance upon the subject of good roads in Ontario. Reeve Kenny, of Whitby, in a well worded and enthusiastic address responded to the toast to the Province of Ontario. He has lived in all the Provinces of the Dominion, but considers Ontario the best. Warden Adam Dobson responded to the toast to the County of Ontario. He felt that a drive through the county was sufficient to convince anybody of the beauty of the scenery and the prosperity of the people. As the opportunity was very apparent he took oc- casion to point out to Mr. Henry that there was need for greater assistance on the part of the Department of Highways in the con- struction of the minor roads throughout the counties. The toast to "Our Adjacent Townships" was responded to by Reeve Geo. A. McMillan, of Reach Township, and Reeve George Sweetman, of Scugog Township. Mr. McMillan dealt with the in- creasing debt of the County, and voiced the thought that while the road was a great convenience to the people of Port Perry, it might have an element of danger to the town in its ability to draw trade away from the town. He expressed his good will to Port Perry and stated that what was good for the town should be good for the township. Mr, McMillan drew the attention of Mr. Henry to the increasing cost of road building that is being borne by the County, stating that the County was reaching the limit of its borrowing pcwers He urged greater Provincial assistance in County road building. Reeve Geo. Sweetman did not see any special danger in the coming of the new roadway as he felt that the enterprise of the Port Perry people would take care of this problem. Mr. Sweetman took occasion to say some nice things about the Port Perry Star, and referred to an editorial! that appeared in this paper a week or two ago entitled "In or Out", in which this passage occurred-- "There ought to be ever in our minds this idea--the cement high- way must be used as a means of bringing people to Port Perry. ' Back of every purchase of goods by our merchants, back of every advertisement should be this idea of inducing people to come to Port Perry to do business. Autos can bring business to our town just as well as they can take it away. Every little store in Toronto has to meet the competition of the big stores." Mr. Sweetman praised our stores and the merchants for their build a road of this type, 20 feet wide, require 4000 tons of ma-| business enterprise. Reeve Somerville responded. to-the toast to "Port Perry the Beautiful," and expressed his pleasure at the turn events had taken for the betterment of town conditions. He referred to the united efforts of the citizens and the members of the County Council, who had proved themselves most friendly to Port Perry and Reach and Scugog. Three persons not on the printed list were called upon to speak. They were Mr. Kean, the County Road Engineer, Mr. Mason, of Oshawa, and Mr. Taylor, of the Jupp Construction Co. ~ Mr. Kean pointed out that there were three features that were important in modern road construction--design, material, and workmanship. In all these particulars the road from Port Perry to Manchester, was an excellent example of high efficiency. ; - Mr. Mason brought kindly greetings from Oshawa, and said that he was reminded of the Scotchman who fell into a cistern, and who swam around until noon so as to save bringing the men in from the field to fish him out. Last spring Port Perry was left win in the mud, but now they have been fished out, good highway. Oshawa joins Port Perry in their the good road.

The regular monthly meeting of the Anglican Young People's" Association will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Hamilton, on Friday evening of this week. Rev. Mr. Forte, of Toronto, took charge of the services in St. John's Church, on Sunday, and was the guest of Mrs. M. Spinks, over the week end. Mr. and Mrs. C, Lamb, and family, of Lindsay, spent Sunday with Mr. Lamb's sister, Mrs. T. Smith. Messrs. A. VanCamp, C. Devitt, B. Hyland, H. Hooey, and H, Thompson, were among those that attended the Ferguson Banquet in Toronto, We are pleased to report that Mrs. J. H. Devitt, who has been ill, is pro- pressing favorably. Mr, and Mrs. Luther Mountjoy and Mr, and Mrs. T. Smith, were in Orono on Monday last. The fair held on Saturday had a re- cord attendance and was said to be one of the best fairs ever held here. The gate and concert receipts amount- ed to nearly $600. Quite a number took advantage of a trip in the air- plane which landed near the grounds for the purpose of taking passengers. Many of our readers will be inter- ested to know that Rev. R. G. Car- ruthers, a former pastor here, and who has' been pastor of Lumsden, Sask., for over three years, is now stationed at Oxbow. Mr. and Mrs. Carruthers were showered with gifts and expressions of good will by their Lumsden friends and before leaving were entertained by almost every so- ciety in connection with their circuit. The very highest testimony was borne to their faithful services. Mrs. Car- ruthers Sr., also was remembered with tokens of affection. We all wish Mr. and Mrs. Carruthers continued. suc- cess in their new field of labor. We are sorry to report that Mr, Fred Bailey had the misfortune to fall from his threshing machine on Friday last and fracture two ribs. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Smith and fam- ily and Mrs R.

Smith, attended the School Fair in Enniskillen. The School Fair held in Blackstock had a splendid attendance of inter- ested spectators. The only disappoint- ing feature was the fact that out of nine schools, only four took part in the various competitions. However the pupils in those four were a credit to themselves and their teachers. The prize list appears next week. WOMAN'S WORK.
