And #o by the shores of Paudash Lake, through pretty Apsley, over the canals at Burleigh Falls, this eyclist comes down to Peterâ€" borough and home, the day after to Weston. 485 miles of never endâ€" ing scenes of Ontario countryside. And may, TN says, yet another age or two of practical knowledge & his head, days spent amongst e hills, the forests and lakes, As night came on his CCM took him into Bancroft. ‘Ere TN said goodâ€"bye to this town the following a.m., he had realized that Bancroft is not only a real country town but is a mighty important place at that. Bancroft, as TN saw it, is the jumping off place for many hydro men, highway folks, miners, prospectors and lumbermen, who flock its streets and stores. Yes! Bancroft is‘a very typical Canadian town, full of vim, good hospitality and men who, working as they do in the open, in a wild and rugged countryside, look extremely healthy and naturally happy. "up." And up it was by golly! TN once aâ€"top figured he would be able to see, telescopically aided, of course, the progre@s made on the Main street south roadway. TN on consulting his map disâ€" covered he was close to the village of Maynooth. A mighty hill conâ€" fronted him soon after his map reading, and he walked the hill at that. At long last Maynooth‘s station hove in sight. Spotting a lad aâ€"top a freight car, TN shouted, "This is Maynooth, isn‘t it?" "A mile up the road," came the boy‘s reply, with an emphasis on the What a hill to descend as he apâ€" proachail Carson Lake, The grade is so steep TN descended by the shank‘s mare method. And what a day to visit this lakeland paradise! A cloudless sky, not a ripple on the many lakes and no human noises to spoil the beauty of it all. TN partook of a bangâ€"up meal at the Bay of Barry town, ‘ere setting out for Bancroft, 56 miles on the road home to Weston. What a wonder scene, by that lake of many bays and inlets to Combermere. Yes! It was grand to be alive, grand to be on a smooth road under a cloudless sky and travelling Alongâ€"peacefully ~underâ€"one‘s own powerâ€"don‘t forget that too. A rolling countryside, meant forest and close by sunlit lakes, took him to Barry‘s Bay. He stopped off at Madawaska for a coffee and a chat. Whitney is a small village, maybe a small town at that, 275 miles by road from Weston, and it was dusk when TN arrived. Those of us who tour, make it a practice when on arriving in such a spot not to do «nything, including having supper, until our night quarters are located. Whitney has no hotel but TN was directed to a tourist home and he was welcomed into an excellent home by a Mrs. Dechaine, who not only has excellent accommodation but serves homeâ€"cooked mealsâ€"the likes of which TN says are unobtainable elsewhere. Well, after this business was settled up, this Weston cyclist took a stroll and within fifteen minutes was sipping coffee in a small cafe and learning about the locality, what folks do for a livelihood and so on. This is all the part of a tour, TN says. Half an hour later this Weston eyclist had some job in finding his way back to his stop for the night. Lights! Whitney has no hydro and wellâ€"imagine the difference to our modern way. But one thing sureâ€" people who live in such places are far happier, as a whole, than city folk who look anaemic and do not enjoy life nor show the coâ€"operative spirit as their countryside friends. A large dish of bacon and eggs, all packed up and with the sun aâ€"shining over yon eastern skyline, TN bade farewell to Whitney and was on his way again. . In last week‘s Touring Notes this columnist described, or tried to, part of a sixâ€"day cycle tour, He visited _ Fenelon â€" Falls, passed through â€" Haliburton â€" and â€" after eycling up hill and down . dale through Algonquin Park, reached ‘Whitney. Among the 110 record entries in the Ontario Police revolver tournament was Weston‘s Chief Constable J. Bruce Robertson, who walked off with a good! portion of the honours. Above, Sgt. Douglas II. Touring Notes After a short but intensive campaign, of some three weeks, Lieut. G, R. Headen reports that Weston‘s newest attraction for young chaps, the York Rangers, now..boasts forty.members. These. boys were inspected by Brigadier General J. H.

Yes! Truly an education in itself is that word "travel." The Weston Volunteer Fire Brigade is holding its annual concert in the town hall on Wednesday and Thursday, Novemâ€" ber 19 and 20 at 8 p.m. As so many people were unable to gain admission last year the brigade have engaged the hall for two nights, and the same program will be presented on each occasion. Wednesday, November 6, 1929 Mr. Waiter Murray and his brother, James Murray, who has recently returned from the front, are opening up an express and haulage business. All orders left at 433 Main street or phone 184 will receive prompt attention. On Friday night there has been called a meeting in the Town Hall for all those who are interested in athletic sports. The proposal is that we form in this town an organization that will control and promote all kinds of athletics: Football, baseball, lacrosse, tennis, cricket, track athletics and other lines. Let‘s be on hand at the Town Hall on Friday night at 8 p.m. and give this a real boost. Wednesday, November 5, 1919 The National Essay Contest on the subject "Our Canadian Navy" announced by the Navy League of Canada during "Navy Week" has aroused the interest of boys and girls from Newfoundland to Vanâ€" cou er Island acording to letters being received at Navy League ofâ€" fices. This is the second such conâ€" test to be undertaken in coâ€"operaâ€" tion with The Royal Canadian Navy and the fact that last year‘s Grand Prize was won by a girl seems to have acted as a challenge to the boys. (Kay Marshall of Moose Jaw won first prize in the Junior age group, 10 to 13 years, for Saskatchewan, and a diamond medal and free visit to the Fleet at Halifax, for the best essay from all Canada regardless of age). First prize in each pro;i;ée in the Senior Group, 14 to 18 years inclusive is a gold medal and a Boys & Girls All Over Canada Show Interest In Essay Contest In The Dim And Distant Past LAWRENCE AND MAIN ST. â€" ZONE 4â€"695 GLAS $ 10, 20 And 30 Years Ago HOBBS GLASS October.

In the Junior age group, the first prize in each group is a gold medal and a handsome wristâ€"watch.
