Now that the speed limit is ahout-to be set at fifty miles per hour on open roads and thirty miles. through vil- lages and towns the danger of walking even on the shoulder of the Highway will be even greater than the thirty five mile speed. This would be an opportune time for the council to build the much talked of and often promised walk, connecting Myrtle and Myrtle Station, There has always been .and always will be more or less people walking along this stretch of pave: ment, especially to school, church and Sunday school and surely the out- lay of a few dollars in this part of the township would be well invested instead of having qan 'innocent life wiped out for the sake of mis-applied economy.

Columnist says "Figh and Chips" could |' i303 ate ; absorb 60% of Canadian Fish. --_-- Long associated as a dish for the masges in England, the humble fish and chips is apparently gaining recog- nition in Canada." At least one large restaurant chain .in Toronto and Montreal make a feature of this dish and- according to the caterer have struck a very responsive chord in the palates of their customers; : Recently a columnist in the British Fishing "News predicted that fish and chip shops in this country, if :they were properly developed; could absorb 60% of the fish landed, as they do in Great Britain, In the old country, he says, everyone in the business earns a good living, especially the fishermen who benefit by the. vast markets cre- ated by this lively trade. No will No Way This slogan. is true from a legal as- pect, and also from a moral and com- monplace point of view. It is true from a legal aspect in that a Will is your voice speaking from the tomb and giving direction as to the disposition of your estate. If you have been negligent, indblent 'or: indif- ferent in this important matter beside the bit of property you leave a peck of trouble, If you have been so care- less not to express your wishes how can you expect the ones that .come after you to give expression to them.
