BURHAM BHRBNIBLE BBAUTIPY THE TOW! Last week we suggested the wis- dom of tree planting as a means of beautifying a town as well as. adding to its value. We suggested fifty trees or more for a start. Surely this is not too much to expect of a town of fifteen hundred. If fifty of the boys of the “teen" age undertake to plant and care for one tree each the? will shortly enjoy the fruits of their la- bor. All that is needed is to make a start. The whole of the planting can! be done in a single day andthe care? afterwards will be a small task. It would be well to have trees planted along the streets and where practi- cable in front of the planters’ homes. It.isn"t likely the trees will all grow but with preper care a large per- centage will live and prosper. We would ask the co-operation of the teachers in our High ' and Public Schools to get the boys interested. The start is half the battle and once boys are interestml it. is marvellous to see how they do things. But there‘s more. than‘ tree plant- ing. The care of lawns. back yards and boulevardsare additional needs in the beautitiratitm of a home. whether in town or country. The most elalimrate structure will look shabby in neglemml surroundings. while the humblest home will be cheerful when surroumled by trees and flowers. There is no use. deny- ing that. too many of us are careless and imlitl'erent about the appearance of our l'mnieis and the writer acâ€" knowledges his guilt to being one of the number. ' Paint is costly; s0 is lumber. The use of paint saves lumber and the expense of a carpenter to make reâ€" pairs caused by the want of paint. To paint is a matter of economy and in additinn to its economic value it makes for attractiveness and beauty. Paint saves the surface, whether put on by yourself, your wife, your daughter, or by a professional brush handler; use more paint. It is cheap- er than lumber. So far, we have been dealing chief- ly with the outsides of our homes and their surroundings, duties of the individual citizens. These in particular strike the eye of the trav- eller and give him his first impres- sions. Of course we must presup- pose. the existence of ‘good streets, or the tOurist in his car will lose sight 0t ex erxthiug else if obliged to (.exote his whole time to watch the humps and hollows of an ill-kept road. The up-keep of the roads is a charge on the t‘llm__1n(-.il in,which the whole town should have an interest. We. leave. this for the present.

THAT LITTLE DAM One is not piolane who “doesnt gix-e a dam.” A dam was a small Hindu co’in at a time. when the Eng- lish came to India. The phrase Sprang into use to signify that a matter was of no consequence. The term “linker‘s dam,” also, is not to be ‘Spellm‘l “damn.” It is a piece of coarse cloth used by a tinsmilh to hold hot. solder from running. T he phrase “not. worth a rap” is likewise numismatic in origin. For a rap was an Irish c¢,ip[‘)e1‘ coin issued ear-‘- ly in the eighteenth century to sup- ply a long-fell, want for small money. i Nominally it was worth a half penny but, its metal was so thin and baée that. it. never passed for more than a l'arthing.

This gentleman has, We are informed, been down‘ south for a couple of weeksâ€"pre-, sumably in Georgiaâ€"also presum~ ably looking for new museum at- tractions or monstrocities. As we have remarlged, it is not yet known whether to credit the devel- opment of Pheasant Island to the Hydro or the U.F.O. No matter which, it is paid for out of the pub- lic money and the public should know who is milking it. 'If the game and fisheries department, the thing is financed by the whole province; if the Hydro, it is paid for by the users of Eugenia power. Where is Pheasant, Island? ‘Well, it is an area of about 50 acres brought into being as an island by the Hydro development of Eugenia, and lies on the east side of the big pond at Eugenia, just :1, mile and a quarter east of the village, and a- cross the water. Tho Hydro made a park in the Vilâ€" lage a few years ago, built a nice paâ€" vilion and strung the-mark with lights. Although this was all paid for hy the system thoro was no kick comiii", because Eugenia was entit- lorl to this consii‘loration and more. They also should have had ”16‘ plw‘ - santry established in this park. Inâ€" stead. it is perched on an island a mile and a quarter away and utterly inacrossihlo to sight-sows. Incidentally we might say that for two or three years the cost of lightâ€" ing the Eugenia Park was charged up to the. Village of Fleshei'ton alone. instead of to the whole system. until tinally our Village council made the Hydro enme- aCi-iiiss with a refund. Flesherton feels that it has been hardly used by Hydro, just as have. many other places, and also feels that it has been leaning:r on a broken reed when it expected Hydro to act fairly. There are, also some other instances- we could name where this concern has acted in a manner that makes the word “unfairly” a weak term. However. if Hydro is not guilty of adding this pheasantry and animal show to our expense account, the U. F. 0.
