Mr. C. C. Jeffrey has been doing a very fine piece of work in trying to secure a reasonable railway service for Port Perry. "He _ has been persistent, intelligent and courteous in his campaign.

'The railway is there and could serve this community if the officials Jere so minded, and it could be done without great financial loss intelligent plan of service were undertaken. _ Naturally we shall have to pay for the service we reeeive; and in some cases we shall have to pay more than will be charged by the trucks. But there is no doubt about the fact that if the 'railway were discontinued the period of readjustment in the ' 'matter of transportation would present some serious problems ; which would require the co-operation of all the business men of Wh. Speaking of co-operation brings out the need of a revival of the Board of Trade. There are many business matters that re- quire consideration. - A monthly supper and get together, at which business subjects could be discussed-in a friendly fashion, could be a very good thing for Port Perry. 'In the meantime, it will be well for us to appreciate the value of the railway to Port Perry, and not to say or do anything which "will assist the all too willing Failvay Officials to take it off the map. x Lindsay Railwaymen Petition ® ~~ Town Council. "Railway employees of Lindsay, who form a ponsiderable por- tion of the county town's population, have written the town council relative to the competition between railways and trucks in the matter of passenger and freight service. The railway' 'men are organized and the letter from their committee chairman, presents their case as follows: "At the present time the railway service of Lindsay is very «much curtailed by reason of the bus and truck service competition out of Lindsay. The trucks are carrying express and freight at a railway company cannot compete with, for the reason that has had to purchase its own right of way, build its and maintain the same, while the Provincial Highways tained at the expense of the people, and the trucks get t. If the trucks and busses continue to take away the earning power of the railways then there is going to be that much more taxation on the people of Canada. - "The organized railway employees of Lindsay feel that there _ should be some restrictions placed on trucks and that there should be some equalization of freight rates along with the railway. "The trucks and busses are using the streets of Lindsay to obtain business. They are carrying on an unfair competition with the railway company. The railways employees in general own their own: homes and pay for the upkeep of the streets. Lindsay municipality should have a 'charge against busses and trucks using the streets. We therefore ask the Corporation of the Town of Lindsay to petition the Minister of Highways to take action as this is in their jurisdiction to see that there is an equalized freight rate for trucks and railway companies as well as some standard fixed for passen- ger services on busses and railways; and that town receive some revenue from: the trucks and busses using the streets of muni- eipalivies' : 100 fo to.

It is both. In the botanical sense even a squash is a fruit and in the general dictionary sense fruit and vegetable are synonymous. The fruit vegetable argument is not the tomato's chief claim to fame, however. It is a fruit of no mean renown, Only the potato surpasses it in world consumption. Yet twenty years ago it was a freak in Canada, though the U. S. had sponsored it fifty years before. It originated in South America, where it was much gathered, put only a pretty ornament. At that time it had wrinkles, though its colour was luring. Careful breed- ing 'lifted the wrinkles. Soon some enterprising Spanish family decided to try eating tomatoes and found the taste rather agreeable. The tomato then became known as lovefruit. Later the Spaniards of South America dubbed it tomato, and the Mexicans labelled it tomatle, each pronouncing the final "0" as a syllable. The Eng- lishingman's proverbial linguistic weakness gave rise to the name to- mata, which was further twisted into tomato. Since all Latin languages avoid the pronunciation of "aye" for "h" for Canadians and Americans in doubt, it would seem that the tomato is better pronounced "tomahto" than "tomaito." 2 L At any rate, in the Bahamas, mil- lions of winter tomatoes are grown for shipment to Canada by Canadian National liners and freighters. Thanks to tariff agreements with tHe British West Indies, they sell 30 per cent. cheaper in Canada than non-Empire tomatoes.
