Nothing makes a; home look more attractive than a real lawn and flower beds that are worth looking at. What about a clean up day? What do you do with the odds and ends that accumulate during the winter? What about our front and backyards? Why not have a set day tor a general clean up day? A Clean up is the first step that is needed towards the pre- paring of an early garden and now the bright sunny days are here once again, it is time to plan that new gaps. den you had in mind last fall. A home garden if run in a' systematic way can be made a home pleasure and profit- able., How many pt our gardens are going to pay us this summer? Clean Up on the Streets The streets through our district can also be improved by a little tore, thought on the part of the citizens. Sticks, loose stones and other rubbish can be picked up off the boulevards and ditches thus giving the grass a chance to grow and any choked wat.. ercourse wilt be opened up thus pro» venting an overflow when the spring rains begin. By giving a little thought to our streets we can do a wonderful amount of improvement work at very little cost to ourselves and none to the town. scriber. should they receive a wrong number, should think if they did all in their part to avoid this error and as if it were to try the safety first meth- od in future. It these facts could be made known to all making use of the telephone and everyone trying to avoid wrong numbers to the best ot their ability, the Wrong number per- centage would be reduced 90 per cent. as there is no doubt that the opera- tors are doing all in their power to re- duce these no matter what may be said to the contrary. parent to the subscriber; they should realize some of the difficulties she is up against, which are enough to drive the average person insane. The sub, scriber, should they receive a wrong number, should think if they did all in their part to avoid this error and as if it were to trv the. snfefv fitrcaf mn+11 a number and thus avoid some of the difficulties set out herein and others which must be quite apparent to them if they would only take the time to think. This does not apply to a large number of subscribers who are very considerate and who speak distinctly, but no one will deny that some of these facts are quite true, butcgan re- duce the load placed on an operator who is very anxious to give a very efficient and correct service, and if er- rors are made they only entail extra work on the operator. Also bear in mind that the operator is only human and may make mistakes that are ap- parent to the subscriber: thev ghnnm _ There are various factors, largely human, entering into wrong telephone ( numbers, but they are all blamed upon ‘the telephone operator. Before con- demning the operator do we ever think how hard it is for her to trans- late the babbel of tongues ot pigeon ‘English that is mumbled in the tele- phone. You may say, "Oh, we speak good English," but how often do you see people go to the telephone with tobacco, candy, chewing gum or a death grip on a large cigar between his teeth to call a number? Have you ever noticed some people stand 2 feet from the telephone and show off how expert they are and as if the matter of telephoning was such a, bore? Often the parties speaking the most indis- tinct or with a. foreign accent and their words mumbled together are very angry if they are asked to repeat the number and the operator would rather take a chance than make the request of correqting or confirming them. Some subscribers trust to their memories or out of date business cards instead of using the latest telephone directory, which'the telephone Com- pany takes time and money to com- pile. Many are also in the habit ot calling the wrong number and instead of staying on the line and accepting the blame for their mistake hang up their receiver and leave the other subscriber with the impression that it is another mistake owing to the inef- ficient operators. Why not have'more patience with the operator who has to guess at about one 'hundred different languages which go to make up the talk we hear fired at the operator? One would think that this was about all one .operator could say regarding these troubles, but it is not so as this is only one of the most annoying. All Telephone Companies provide a. tele- phone number and extra help so to give the subscribers an opportunity to tell their troubles, but no provision is made tor the operator to let the public know how they could help to get a better service if some of the facts were brought to their attention, to, try and remember before going to call l Owing to the opening of the new public school and the Poultry Asso- ciation Show coming on the,,,7th of the month, the G.\V.V.A. have placed the date of their concert on Thursday.

The story was written by Rudolph Berliner of Montreal and is a tense and gripping drama full of heart up- peal that surpasses any motion picture drama yet presented. It grips your very heart strings and in some ot the spectacular scenes it draws you right out of your. seat. Mr. Tyrone Power, the “star” in the production,, is well known to Toronto audiences and his work in this production is magnetic and convincing throughout. Ivy Ward, another member of the cast, the phe- nomenal child actress known to pic- ture fans as "Baby Joan," receives many flattering comments by the crib. ics. Her work could not be improved upon and when she is knocked down by a runaway team there is scarcely a dry eye in the audience. Another member of the cast receives a great deal of praise, Louis Stems, taking the role of Klimoff, a. Bolshevist leader. His work is so convincing that. when he is finally dashed over a 400-foot cliff in an auto,together with his three associates, the audience is stirred to applause. Dorothy Bernard, another member ot the cast, is well known to Toronto audiences. The settings and photography are beautiful and special music has been prepared by J. J. Shea, who personally conducts the "Great Shadow" symphony orchestra at each performance. Mr. Shea's last appear- ance in Toronto was as musical direc- tor for “Ben Hur." Summing up, To- ronto audiences can look forward to a musical treat and a great picture this week, _ During the past week several of our townspeople have removed to farms in various sections: Mr. Muldoon and family going to Georgetown; Mr. Hen- ry Moody to Islington; Mr. Wm.
