Som‘lyepe, for Provincial Dopaflmnt Concluded Semi-Annual Census on Ionday. Commencing Tuesday of last week, the Provincial Department of Highâ€" ways had otl‘ieials on this end of the Guelph-Owen Sound road taking the semi-annual vehicular traffic census. As in former years, the oll’icials were stationed at McClint- on's corners. two miles south of here and were on duty from 6 a. m. to 10 p. m., for the full seven week- days. Mr. W. P. Paterson had charge or the work during the morning and early afternoon and Mr. R. Aljoe during the afternoon and evening. Following is the census as computed and forwarded to the department. commencing Tuesday, October 28: Motor Other Vehicles Vehicles 'l‘uesda)‘ 'l'hursday Wm Innsday Friday ... Saturday Sunday . . . M uuday 1049 266 ' The first figures in each daily re- port gives the number of vehicles passing this point from 6 a. m. to 2 p. m.; those in the second line are for those from 2 pm. to 10 pm. From the above it will be seen that during the whole week 386 vehicles passed over the highway from early morning to afternoon, while 663, or nearly seventy-five per cent. mnre were on the highway between the hours 2 to 10 pm. By a little figuring, from the above table, one curiously inclined may figure out the motor traffic from al- most any angle desired.

Following the fire of two weeks ago, the mtills here received offers from s everal manufacturers throughout Ontario to fill their sacks for them and enable the local con- cern to keep its business connections intact while the fire losses and other delays entailed by the conflagration were being straightened out. “Rob Roy on: or letting” in Word From Btlitu. While the Rob Roy Company did not fall in with this agreement, it gave its permission in at least one instance for a certain Ontario mil- ling concern to use its brokers and fill orders. When the product was about to be shipped, however, the exporters at Halifax, having been advised of the fire horc, insisted that the goods must. be) “Rob Roy or nothing." and cancelled all orders that could not comply with the de- mand. Besides its superior brand of rolled oats and other products, which are in big demand in Europe, Canada and the linited States, the local mill has been responsible fer the advertising of Durham far and wide. 1n rolled oats especially the name “Rob Roy Mills, Limited, Dur- ham, Ontario” has been synunomous with quality, and the people refuse to be put 011' with "something just as goodf’ BUSH FIRES RACING All. OVER COUNTY Considerable Loss of Preperty Re- ported Prom Various Points in This Part of Ontario. During the» past week numerous bush tires have been reported throughout the county and the dry weather and the brisk breeze last week-end caused a lot of anxiety in their vicinity. In the northern part, around Des- boro, a big fire was reported, and also near Flesherton, and also in Egremont east, of Dromore. So Mr, while considerable damage was «lone we have been told most of the tires are under control and no further anxiety is felt, providing the wind does not spring up again. In Bruce County. near Cal-gill. the Greenock swamp of 15,000 acres was burning all last week, with an es- timated loss of $5M,000. Nearly 500 acres have already been burned over and with the wind on Saturday help was asked from Ghesley and other nearby places tn light the llames. For a time it was thought that sevâ€" eral barns and residences would fall before the eontl'agratiou, but the wind died down in time and at. the present most of the danger is over provided the wind does not spring up again.

HAD REPUTATION The address of Mrs. Plumptre of 1 Toronto, President of the Provincial Red Cross. in the Town Hall last Friday night was one of the clearest and best addresses on Red Cross work in Ontario 3. Durham audience has ever had the privilege of listening to. and in her speech of an hour or more we think she covered more ground than any other speaker could have done. From her first utterance until she closed her ad- !dress. she was all enthusiasm. and carried her hearers with her in the various activities of the Red Cross , throughout the province. FAIR SIZED AUDIENCE HEARD HRS. PLUM‘PTRE PreSident of Red Cross Society Gave Interesting Address Here. Last Week Mrs. Plumptre paid a tribute to Mr. J. A. Graham, the Secretary- treasnrer of the local Red Cross Memorial Hospital. for his efl'icient work, and. referring to the hospital itself. which she inspected earlier in the day, she thought it was one of the most. np-tnâ€"date and efficient she had yet been through. She comp- limented Miss Fettes. the matron“ and her stat! of nurses for the cleanâ€" liness of the whole hospital building, and paid a glowing tribute to the local Red Cross societyâ€"the only branch in Canada that had gumption enough to equip a hospital hospital “on their own." Mrs. Plumptre referred to the fact that the Red Cross Society was a peaceâ€"as well as a warâ€"time society. and recounted its many ac~ tivities throughout Ontario, referr- ying especially to the hospital at Toronto Island. Haileybury. Dryden, Wilberforce. 'l‘hessalon, Lions Head, and the (I. N. R. hospital in Muskoka, which the society‘had taken charge of. The Red Cross at present was engaged in dislruhnting hospital facilities to all parts of Ontario, es- pecially in the outlying parts. These were called “outposts.” The speaker referred to the work of the Red Cross in Northern Ontario during the recent fires, and the tak- ing over ef the hospital at Cochrane during the recent typhoid outbreak. Mrs. Plumptre is a strong advocate of the Junior Red Cross, which teaches the young generation how to keep well. rather than how to treat illness. She. spoke of the assistance the. children had given the Northern Ontario fire sufferers, and referred at length to the various activities of the parent body in such catas- trophes as the Japanese earthquake. A_A ._ __- M r. .l. A. Graham gave an extensive report. of the financial standing of the local hospital since its inception and showed that it was at least hold- ing its own and would, if present conditions prevailed, soon be self- sustaining. During the evening, the. audience were entertained with a piano duet by the. Misses Fursman. singing by Miss Wilma Smith, a trio from the Methodist church. and a reading by Mr. E. D. McClocklin. Mrs. C. C. Middlebro‘ also favored the audience with an excellently rendered soio. Hon. Dr. Jamiesou was the chairman of the evening. METHODIST CONCERT The first or :1 series of three con- certs in he put on here this winter b ' the Ladies‘ Aid of the Methodist Cmrch was held last Thursday evening. and while The Chronicle was not represented oflicially, we have been told the entertainment was a most pleasant affair, and the artists, the Blane-bards, very 590d.
