"xe spoke o' being helped by that book-- "How to be Happy 'rhough married' went on Jean. - "All right then, now're up in time tae see one 0' -nature's grandest spectacles... Sun- rise is something that plenty o' men have never seen and the only reason 'ye think sae little o' it is because it nas happened every day since ye were born, and ye just tak' the thing for granted. Did ye ever think how ye would feel "it ye should get what's coming tae ye and were landed. in Jail, where the rising sun the, budding trees, the green fields and yer free- dom tae saé the beauty o' it all, was ,. taken from ye? And would ye be "happy when ye had yer liberty again? Ye might vera weel give the first chapter o' yer book book, Sandy, to the'freedom and independence, and the | chance o' peace and comfort that nature gives the farmer when she takes him into partnership with her," said Jean. For a moment I couldn't think o' anything to say tae this and Jean went on: "Does it give ye no happi- ness, Sandy" says she, "to go out to the stable in the morning, and see all the coos and horses and other animals looking anxiously at ye, because they ken that food and water and all the "care they get comes from you, and that their vera lives are in yer hands, in-a way. In her ain way I've even seen a coo ask ye to milk her when the regular time was past and she was getting uncomfortable. - Does it no' make ye happy, in a way, when ye ken that ye haVe it_in yer power tae make ithers happy--even if it's only the dumb brutes in yer stable? The goodwill" and confidence of all those friends is nae small item so be set doon tae one's credit, Say con- cluded Jean. "Weel, Jean," says i "for once * there's mair or less truth in what ye say. I'm glad tae ken that I'm on mid- dling good terms wi' my live stock-- when they behave themselves half-way decent-whatever. I have one coo that looks so hurt and guilty whenever I speak sharp to her that I always get sorry for wounding her feelings and resolve tae be maer careful in the future. But the rest of the bunch seem tae think that there might be worse chaps than me--even if they , are a bit scarce.' "Weel, what about that.iether vera dependable partner o' the farmer-- old oMther Nature herself" says Jean. "She backs him up from the time the first seed goes in the ground in April "~~-till the last o' the harvest has gone in to the barn in September, and if he has done an honest share o' the work the chances are that she will give him reason tae be happy over the ts.- Noo and again she tears "things up a bit and gives ye too much dry, jist tae see how ye can stand a little misfortune, but if ye mak' the best o' a bad job it's surprising how she will help ye to patch things up again.

"Kest and happiness went together according tae the auld time religion" says lL. "Ye'd get fed up on it and be the maist, Tuserable man oot o' jail in- side a week' replied Jean. "When ye are rightly interested in yer job the hardship is all taken oot o' it, and it becomes just what play is for the bairn. The reason ye hear some farmers kicking about "their business is be- cause they'veslost interest.

It would be the most sensible and convenient ~route both trom the standpoint of residents and motorists, it was asserted. Lindsay Supports Road 3 Mayor C. G. Frost, of Lindsay, in speaking of proposed "Route No. 3" stated thit Victoria County wanted the road from Lindsay to Newcastle developed as a provincial road. The highways of the province are not paid for now, he claimed, and at the pre- sent time he would prefer that no more should be built until the present roads are paid for. But if new roads are insisted upon, they should have a provincial aspect and the personal ends should be a secondary thought. Lindsay is in favor of completing the road north from Newcastle, he pointed -out, and the "Route No, 3" would serve to relieve the congestion on No, 2 highway and at the same time com- plete the paving of ten miles of the 24 miles of uncompleted road between Newcastle and Lindsay. He urged that the various interests compromise and support this plan because it serves all equally and was a tremen- dous provincial asset in view of the fact that it taps so many other main roads and the area throughout north- ern Ontario, Route No. 4 L. C. Lee, of Aurora, proposed "Route No. 4" to be considered by the meeting, He suggested that "Route No. 1" bé followed from Peterboro to Port Perry, and then west to Uxbridge and the ninth line of the Township of Whitchurch in the County of York; then west around Musselman's Lake to Aurora and there link up with a road to Orangeville. Ed Youngman "of Manvers, spoke briefly in favor of "Route Noi 2" pointing out: 'that conditions were ideal for construction. "The drainage was of the best, there were few creeks to be crossed and the bed was made up of good gravel. Speaking in reference to "Route No. 1", Reeve W, Parrott of Reach Town- ship stated that nearly all centres in this vicinity have at least one paved road leading out of the section, There is a erying need of an east and west highway through the province, he de- clared, and-there is not one foot of 'pavement leading out of the town of Uxbridge, a municipality of some 1200 to 1400 people. The purpose of the meeting, as Mr. Parrott saw .it, was to prevent the building of duplicate roads by the pro- vince. The congestion on Highway 7 between Manchester and Brooklin could be relieved by a road to divert the traffic to No. 7 without it going on And thy biggest 0. grouch o a tarmer whoever stood in| u wie cay, 14, Aug WLC on wis part of uguway 15 spasmoulc" trafic he BHIU, aud IL BUVULG pe uiverted without QUPLICALION OL Yoaus by Ri ince. il Loe rosy was wo be' "put Fougi hn burt rerey w TELeIDoro It coulu wiell De\pare vi a road Irom Walker- wi 10 LULBYYa, DUL IL NOL PUL LAFOUEH city ol Ushawa, and we Chamber ot commerce, Siatea thal Ushawa had 10 1ntepuon of using Its niluence one way: or Lhe ouher: Al had no axe to going ana at was one place thar was Sule HUL W be un tne route o1 ue new road, ushawa 13 nou parucularly m- Lerestea 1 ue route tnatl the road will DUL AL 1s POUL Wo pass near 11owever, 10 must be a pro- vilciul roua ana che province will have w pay, ne scared, N 1nere 1s consilderapie volume or wine COnung LW we Civy ol Usnuawa, alu LE 1our-1ang road low being con- SLrUCLed 100ml 10ronto to ushawa, will relieve INO, rugnway wo some exeent. 14 Ue new road was continued east Itom DrOOKUN Lo Lhe road runmuog yor Irom ushawa ww Columbus, It woula proviue a link 1rom ushawa to (cast ana west iL was pointed 10luw, ANU, out, rhere are two or cnree different Alnus 01 Lralfic using tne nighway, Mr; Lreiguuon suena vile larger pare 15 ae up or wrough trae, 'Lhe duvanuages wo us Kua ol traline must 'ue -consiaerea 1 the serection of a toute 10 Lie new roaag, ana the aner- ulpafl LEHIIC MUsSL also be cohsiuered. 1 wie rou were Lo come near he ily 01 LUasliawad IL would serve to con- HUCL LwO age Cily populations ana Pruve ur vue Lo ne inter-urban trat- He. ane dann una 1ocal Lraie 18° an- vuntr Convenwng Lucwor, IL was stated aud Livy Ud Usidwad 1s always ln- wereswen ul anyulng concerning the wullivy ur var, vreighton de- ciated, "una"this project wil attect the wounty., A roau irom ushawa to rot CeIry anu patsiielng No. 12 to Yort rerry wul nog likely be accepted by wie rrovince." ; aul, " Jiscusion on Routes J."

I, gackson, Port Perry, at this point asked permission lo place ag- uther proposed route before the meet- ing. He termed his proposition 'a corfpromise road" and it was accept- ed as "Route No. 5', The "compro- mise road" would bring the highway east from Brooklin to the Oshawa Suburban" Road and then North to Port Perry. From that point it would follow "Route No. 1" to Peterboro in that manner it would serve a large district that is at present without rail- way service, Mr. Jackson pointed out. Before the "balloting was started, Mrr-Lee of Aurora asked permission to withdraw "Route No. 4" from con- sideration, due to the fact that it was somewhat out of order in the face of instruction contained in the communi- cation from the Department of High- ways. i The final vote for the different routes was: 48 for route No. 1, 57 for route No. 3. Mr. Newman, the chalimas; sug- gested that the meeting make one route unanimous, and declared that he would not approach the government if no unanimous decision could be reach- ed, and he would have nothing to do with the matter as .it| now stood. He tendered. his resignation from the committee 'and the chairmanship. RSME EC iI gy SEE Cn NOTE--The road suggested by Mr. Letcher has these important advan- tages. 1. It would serve a well populated district which does not now enjoy good highway or Tailway transporta- tion. 2. It would give ready access to the Scugog Lake shores which have be- come so popular to. tourists and sum- mer cottagers, 3, It is the shortest and cheapest route from Brooklin to Peterboro, 4, It is a direct east and west route that may later be linked up with a projéet through Uxbridge and New- market. ~The southern part of the Province hag been well provided with trans- portation lines--railway or highway.
